Name is Ryan, I live in the Palm Springs, CA area. I shared this somewhere else, though you all might get a kick:

I called Titleist just maybe 2-3 days ago and asked them if they make a 2 Iron in the new 710 MB Forged Clubs. The lady laughed at me and told me that I have not had one of those request in quite some time. I know that most players including tour players have gone to hybrids. I have actually never tried a hybrid. I love my 670 (old Titleist) and I don't have the heart to change. I guess now I am forced to change unless I keep the 670 or I know they make the 2-iron in a cavity back, but I have not hit a cavity back in about 22 years.

First thing, welcome!

So, if you're wanting the new 710 series MBs, I would think an option you may have is to get a 2nd 3 iron at .5" longer, and have the lie and loft bent down to that of your current 2 iron. It may not have the same bounce angle as your current one, but that may be as close as you'll get. That's the only thing I can really think of if you're dead set on the MB. Also, I'm not sure if you've looked at them very much, but the CB isn't exactly a big, full size cavity like you may be thinking. It's nowhere near the size of an AP1 or AP2. We covered the release of both the MB and CB here , so take a look and it may be able to help you make a decision on them.

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
