Hey guys, I'm index 10.6, have a callaway X-14 pro series irons (yeah, believe it), and now I'm interested in changing my irons. My dream is the titlest CB, but I'm afraid of being so difficult to me. Which iron set you indicate to me? Thanks and sorry about the english errors (I'm brazilian)

i doubt going to a Titleist CB iron set will be that much different than your Callaway's.....   the loft's might be different, but the diffculty hitting them will not be.....

be it CB or GI or SGI  irons, a good hit will still be a good hit,,, a bad hit will still be a bad hit...

It is what it is

Why wouldn't I believe it?

I agree with this, the Titleists wills have more compact heads and a somewhat smaller sweetspot but for a 10.6 it shouldn't be a drastic change. Though I have to ask why you don't want the x-14s anymore? From what I understand they were solid performers.

Exactly, there was a lot of love for the X-14 pro's in their day and most still regard them highly.

I like Titleist CB's too but I think at 10.6 you'd be better off with something else. Those are pretty pure. If you are gaming Callaway and are enjoying them, why not stick with Callaway? Apex forged irons are getting a lot of love...

I'd give the 716 AP 2's a look along with the Mizuno MP-54's and Apex Forged.  At a 10.6 I'm sure you'll hit the CB's well but it doesn't hurt to have some forgiveness when you do hit that bad shot.

Thanks for the information guys

The callaway apex pro irons is a little more forgiveness then the Titlest cb?

Thanks

Ya, and the apex (not pro). You may also be happy with the Nike Pro Combo,

The difference in forgiveness will be slight, if any. IMHO, look more at being fit than the differences in clubs. I would suggest being fit for some Mizunos, just for the simple fact that they have so many shaft options.

The shaft can sometimes make more of a difference than the clubhead.

I just switched irons last month and my previous set was too long and not stiff enough. My dispersion has been noticeably better...and I'm hitting a less forgiving iron (MP-15).

Bottom line - make sure you are properly fit, then make a choice on what club to play.

Thanks for the answers guys.

The problem is that I live in Brazil and cannot try different clubs. I'm searching for a iron set similar to a cavity back (my ego wants one kkkk), then I'd like to get Callaway Apex Pro or Tittlest CB, but I really afraid of being so difficult to hit them. Which other clubs do you suggest?

Thanks and good shots for everyone

I played with the 695 CBs for 4 years or so.  Don't remember my handicap trajectory exactly, but the last couple I was bouncing around 9-10.5.  Definitely not too "good" for a ~10 cap.

And I loved those clubs.  Good swing weight, nice feel, pretty forgiving for the style of club IMO.  I know it's very swing dependent, but I got good penetrating flight out of those irons too.

Consider the Titleist AP1's and AP2's too. Both are great options for your handicap. I've been playing the AP1's for 7 years and would still prefer them over the AP2's even as a 5 handicap.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
