I'm about to buy a set of Titleist 716 forged MB irons. I tried them out indoors and I don't know what they should feel like when hitting range balls. However, it would be nice to know if buying them is a good idea. 


(edited)

What irons to buy is a personal preference. I’m not sure what you are asking. Titliest makes great irons. I have had two sets of Titleist MBs. I really liked both of them. I currently have Callaway Apex MBs. I like them better, but the difference is certainly not a large one. 

Are you asking because MBs are more difficult to hit? Because they are, but these are certainly not your grandfather’s blades, the playability and forgiveness of modern blades is much better. 

As to how they should feel, a well struck shot should feel extremely solid, but misshits will ring your hands a bit and let you know it was not a great strike. If you are all over the face with your ballstriking musclebacks may not be the best choice. 

Hope that helps.

    • After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five. Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite. Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀
    • Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since. 
    • I hate that I agree with this. But the guy is like a Ferrari with four flat tires trying to go 200 mph. Bad things can only come from that. He turns 50 on December 30th. I wonder how long Golf Cart Tiger lasts out there.
