Hi all,

I've been playing with my dad's clubs for a while, but they're (I believe) designed for a low handicapper and they're stiff flex, which does not suit my swing speed at all.

I looked up on Titleist's website, and they look exactly like the DCI 962/962B, but there's no model label on the rear facing top of the head...i.e., if you were standing in a golf stance, the top of the head facing towards the back (it would be upside-down). If you were holding the head of the iron so you could read the DCI logo, it would be on the bottom edge. Pic for reference: http://www.titleist.com/historical_c...ails.asp?id=18

I just wasn't sure if they didn't include the model number on some, or if anyone might have any idea what the deal is. I'm contemplating selling the clubs and putting the proceeds towards a set of irons that matches my swing speed and is a bit more forgiving. Thanks in advance for any assistance...and if anyone wants dibs on them, give me a reasonable offer :).

A picture would really help, but before Titleist stamped 962 on the club, there was no 962, but they were identical.

They were clubs designed for a good amateur or professional, but they were a very good club, and with the right shaft, would be a decent choice for golfers of most ability.

Cheers, Allan

That answers my question. It looks exactly identical to the picture linked above asides from the lack of 962 on the club. I'm guessing these are from one of the first years the clubs were released. Thank you!

What is included with your set? Looks like they were available starting with a 1-iron down to a 9 and three or four wedges. If you had the full 1-9+wedges set I'd be tempted. A local shop had two sets of DCI trade-ins a few weeks ago, 3-9+PW, for $75-$90 or so.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
