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?

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.

Titleist 915D2 10.5°

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
