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.

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.

Thank you. That makes more sense to me about the Titleist mb forged irons.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
