I hit both at a launch monitor today. I was hitting the 6 irons the exact same- 175-180 with a slight draw. The are the same cost, and I have heard great things about both of them. What would you guys recomend?

Titleist 755 for resale value if you end up changing in future. Also the cavity of the R7 is harder to clean when dirty.

Both stunning. I guess it comes down to your visual preference. I prefer the look of the Titleist clubs but its a personal thing. Taylor Made Tp's have slightly shorter shafts than the Titleists on the 3,4 and 5 irons I think.

I went throught the same thing. However, I came down to the 775cb and the r7. I just liked the look and feel of th 775 more. Both were great clubs, but I just felt better over the Titleist. It will take a damn good iron to get these out of my hands now.

Whats your handicap, and how good of a ball-striker are you? im just trying to figure out because i hit the 6 iron, and was wondering if it was hard to hit the 3 and 4 irons

I'm currently stuck at around 12, and i would consider myself a pretty good ball striker though i have my fair share of troubles every now and then when my swing gets too loose. I hit my 6 iron about 175 with a tiny fade, but i dont have too much trouble with the 4 iron. That being said as you can see in my bag i replaced the 3 iron with a hybrid, off the tee the 3 iron is OK but off the ground it requires a solid swing every time. Overall though ive never had any problems with forgiveness in my r7's, when they are mis hit the results suffer, but not tremendously. Awesome set of irons imo~~btw the project x shafts fit them really well.

simple answer.....
R7 TPs.....unless of course you like being severely punished on mishits....yes they can work the ball both ways both if you are a little off...which I bet you are unless you are scratch ...the R7 TPs will cover up for the mishits a lot better.....
I used to play Titleist 735CM and don't miss the titleist at all...Titleist irons in general feel very harsh compared to other forged clubs like Mizuno....
the only advantage for the Titleist is the long irons...boy are they easy on the Titleist sets...

hope this helps

that being said, i've never hit the titleist ones. the r7 tp's are nice, you're definitely going to be able to shape shots and the forgiveness is great. I have the regular r7's and they're sick (but I've obviously tried the tp's to be able to comment on them)

When I get my handicap below 18, I think I just may treat myself to the 775's.

They look and play awsome!

so a little update here. i went to a golf shop, and they have the TM r7 tp's used, and the callaway x-forged used. The callaways are $600, and the TM irons are $670. Unfortunately, they dont have the titleist 755's used, so im either going to go with the callaways or the TM's. The callaways have the project x 6 flighted as shafts, and the TM's have the project x 6.5 as shafts.

To recap, I am around a 12 handicapper, but my ball-striking skills are the same as someone with about a 6-9 handicap. i also dont mishit the ball too much with my irons, but i still want something semi-forgiving. which ones should i go with?

    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.

    • Day 251 4-30 Worked on pelvis "going back" slightly in transition. Once i started getting some feel for it, added in wrist arching through. All done slower. 
    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
