New Equipment

[TitleistHOG]

Hi, I am new to this website. I am in the market for a new set of irons, was looking at the 690.MB for Pw-6 and 690.CB for 5-3. Also, considering waiting for the new 735.CM irons. I am confused on the shafts to get as well, looking at either the Dynamic Gold S300 or the Tour Rifle 6.0. I am also in the market for a new Titleist Driver, 3 Wood and Spin milled wedges. I am either going to go with the Speeder shafts for the Aldila shafts that I am currently using. I currently hit 983K, 980F, and 762's. My swing speed with driver is around 110 - 113 and 95 - 100 with a 7 iron. Not sure what my 5 iron swing speed is. Does anyone have any advice on a complete equipment make over or does anyone play these clubs. My handicap is around 15, needing a lot of work on the short game to score better.

Thanks,

In my opinion try to attend a few manufacturer demo days and TRY them out.For most i would have thought its about acieving the best performance possible.

Get what works for you and dont be influenced my names,makes,models etc.

Titleist equipment is undoubtably of unquestionable quality but dont feel you have to have the complete Titleist "make-up".Pick and choose from different makes what suits YOU,if it turns out that way

My swing speed with driver is around 110 - 113 and 95 - 100 with a 7 iron.

I'd have that checked. It seems 100% unrealistic to me.

if you are looking for a combo set, I would go with the 690.mb/.cb w/ the DG S300 custom set. I too think that your swing speeds sound like they are off, Go have that checked at a shop or with your local pro. I am playing the new 904 fairway wood. I have tested all the others and the 904 is the best. It is long and straight, and is suprisingly easy to work. The driver is awsome, but I would not change the shaft. If you are hitting the aldila in your 983 then hit the same in the 905. As for the wedges I would go with the tour satin, Black Nickel, or oil can wedges unless you are having problems spinning those wedges, then look at the spin milled. I have had several customers(low-mid handicappers) that have complained that the new spin milled spins too much on full shots. They are saying they it is hard to control the spin on the spin milled wedges. The spin milled have bigger grooves along with the milled face, which is supposed to help with spin comming out of the rough. Hope this helps.

Ditto that on the spin milled. Great for some players, but too much spin for others.

I am going to a demo day in may and will get it checked, I checked it several months ago and that is what was registered. How do each feel between tour rifle shafts vs. DG shafts. So TitleistTexasGuy you would recommend the 690 combo set, can you give me any feedback as to why?

You may want to go with X stiff shafts if your swing speed is that high.

Dynamic golds tend to "feel" like they have much higher flex points (to keep the ball lower),although its probably not much higher than the rifles.Like most quality iron shafts though,the stiffer the flex the higher the flex-point moves.

With dynamic golds i always "feel" that i can really sense the clubhead lagging behind slightly,especially on longer clubs.

Ive used rifles for 5 or 6 years and even for the same flex rating as Dynamic golds,find the feel very different and a much softer,more pleasurable feeling.
