Does anyone play them? I've been eyeing this post for a while now since they've got the shafts I want for a listing cheaper than buying the shafts alone. I grew up playing Mizuno grads, and they sound like they've got similar technology in them. Anybody love or hate them, or maybe heard anything about them?

I've played the 695 cb's for about 5 years now.  Very similar.  Generally characterized as a "players cavity back", whatever that means....

I really like mine.  I like a nice compact club head and thin top-line.  Not the most forgiving irons.....certainly not what I would characterize as any kind of game-improvement iron, but they won't kill you if you miss a bit either.  Nice soft feel and consistent flight when you do your part.

The irons in the ad look awfully beat up though.  Obviously need new grips and the faces look like they've been through the war.  I have over 500 rounds on my 695's and they look a LOT better than that.

FWIW, I just looked on ebay and found several sets of 695's in better shape, for around the same price point......

Also play the 695's. I was going to replace them earlier on, but I think I'ma gonna keep em around for awhile. Everyone that tries them, likes them, mine have the DG S300 shafts. Also mine look like crap, well the shorter irons anyway, but still play well.
