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

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
