Does anybody have any personal experience with a set of 755s?

I have the opportunity to get a great deal on a 2 year old set of these that have just been sitting in a closet.

I have never hit any of these so I was wanting to get some opinions on them before I asked them to bring them back for me to look at.

Thanks in advance.

I've never hit them but I did notice that Steve Stricker was playing them Sunday when he won The Colonial.

I like the looks of them and thought about a set when they first came out. They're more a players club than a game improvement club but they should be a touch more forgiving than pure musclebacks! I would definitely ask the seller if you can hit a few if it is possible.

I'm going to take them out for a round tomorrow to make sure I like them, but I hit another set of DCIs today and loved them. I can't wait to try them out tomorrow.

I owned a set with Tri-spec shafts. They felt great at on the range prior to purchase but turned out to be terrible for my swing. Balloon central with those shafts! Plus the 755's are made with 410 Stainless Steel instead of a mild carbon steel which, IMO, gave them a much harsher feel then your typical forged club.

Ive never played a round with them, but i have hit them on a range alot. They have a little more offset than a typical titleist players iron, and have a little bit more of a harsher feel. They do launch the ball, though. If thats what youre looking for.

Well, I'm going to go pick them up around 230 or so and head to the course at 3 and see what I think of them.

As far as price goes, we decided on 200. They are in almost perfect condition. I'll write an update whenever I get back this afternoon.

I've used 755 with trispec shafts for almost 2 years. I agree with most replies. Its trajectory is a relatively high and sometimes I balloon. And yeah, the feel is harsher compared to other titleist irons. But what you get is durability I guess. Frankly, I feel like I should have bought one with dg shafts instead or picked 735 instead...my 2 cents.

DCI 962's are one of my favorite sets of all time. I played the same set for 9 straight years. I also enjoyed the 762's. which set of DCI's were you hitting?

Well...we have rain rain rain here in the south.

I'm not sure which ones they were, but I'm almost positive they were 962. He has played them since his 8th grade year and hes a senior in college now. The guy I'm buying the 755's from played one year in college before he decided to hang it up.

Does anyone have any idea why they discontinued the 755s?

It was an older model.

Anyway, the trispecs are higher than most shafts, but I've never got any ballooning. I love my 755's and would just never give them up.

Those I hit were the DCI 981 and I loved them. Are they in any way similar?

For that price, you could use them and sell them if you don't like them and not loose much.

As for why discontinued, that is just what manufactures do to keep people buying new clubs.

A great looking club though.

Well, I went and hit the irons this morning and loved them. I'm sure I have a ways to go before I get used to them, but overall I felt like I hit them very smooth and solid.

I kept hitting the ball towards the bottom of the club face but not quite blading them. I'm sure I can fix that with time.

Thanks for all the input on the clubs. I ended up getting a great deal and I'm sure I will be very happy with these irons.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
