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

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
