I have a set of the 695.MB's and have had a chance to hit them on the range a couple times now.

The good
Loved the ball flight which was a bit higher than my Mizuno Pro-II's. The ball didn’t flutter at all. The long irons were especially nice. The ball gets up high and hangs there. I don’t think I’ve ever 3 and 4 irons as nice as the 695.MB's.

The misses were better as well. I hit the ball a bit thin at first, but the ball still traveled really well. Even though it is a pure ‘forged’ club and the Pro-IIs have somewhat of a cavity, the 695.MB’s were more forgiving.

Another nice thing, they're pretty to look at.

The bad
Nothing really. I had thought that I’d hit the 695’s a bit further, but there was no difference in distance whatsoever. I didn’t have any problems with the rifle shafts coming from the S300's. The difference in weight (they are a bit heavier than my T-Zoids) was small as well and easy to get used to. The second time on the range I barely even noticed it.

I’ll probably hit them some more over the next couple weeks and use them in a few rounds. I don’t feel like it will be a huge transition to go tothe 695.MB’s from the Pro-IIs. If anything, I’m gaining because of how sweet the long irons are.

Fairways and Greens.

I have the 695CB's and love them. I have to say though, I've never seen a better looking iron than the 695MBs. Simply gorgeous. And money when you flush them.

I have both the MB's and CB's, and had considered producing a combo set, but the MB's are simply better. Period.

The CB's have the lower center of gravity, which means you can get the ball high easily, but overall the MB's have the better feel plus performance off any lie. You can simply rip out of anything.

Flight wise the MB's are slightly higher, but not by alot, but the MB's flatten out nicer.

In essence, the MB's will stay in my bag :D

    • the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.
    • Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.
    • Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting. 
    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
