Just Pulled the Trigger!

Titleist Irons

Just bought the Titleist 704 cb's with DG S300's. Look to be a good combination of forgiveness and playability. Any input from some current users?

Should have bought Mizuno. Just kidding. Congrats on the new sticks. Let us know how you like them.

:drinks: Good buy! I almost got that set, but I wound up getting the Bridgestone Combos being I could get those new for the price of used 704's. But it was a close call between the two. 704's are a good size, not too much offset, and good forgiveness. I have a set of DCI 990's on the way today that I got for a song off Ebay. We'll see how they play...

I've had them for 2 years now and they're still going strong

 

you'll be pleased

I own both the 704.cb's and the MP-60's. Both are a great set of irons (similar characteristics in trajectory, distance, and workability), but the 60's just blow away the 704's in the 'feel' department.

 

You'll be happy w/ your purchase either way.

I'm still playing with my 990s after 6 years. They are awesome.

Nice buy, my friend that i work with has the 704s and he loves them, there is only one other iron out there that he would play over them and thats the RAC TP ($1000) which is not happening to say the least. the spin on the 704cb is very nice, tough grooves, and the fact that they are forged makes them a great buy. welcome to the world of :drinks:

I was happy to find such a nice set, they're almost like new and have Rifle 6.0 shafts. My buddy has a set of them that he loves, and I've hit them before. I'm taking them to get the lie angles adjusted and lofts changed/verified today, so I hope to try them out by next weekend when I get them back. They're a good looking club. They seem to get mixed reviews for some reason? Some think they're the best ever while others hate them. I guess I don't see anything not to like about them.

This must be the 990 apreciation society here - i love them too, like mr_divots i got a set of 990b's recently on ebay also for a song.

Anyway good luck with the 704s im sure the will serve you well.

Now I am having a heck of a time deciding if I should keep my RAC LT2's or switch to the 704cb's.

 

Can anyone sell me on either set? I like both of them equally well.

[mr_divots]

Whoa! You got the one iron too! My buddy has the 1 iron in his set too. I've onl seen him hit it a couple times. It wasn't pretty... :drinks: Now what's up with the Cally driver sticking out like a sore thumb in that bag?!

Why not hit them both and decide? If you only have 2 sets of irons, you need at least one more set anyway! I'd hang on to them! :drinks:

[curryj]

don't worry as soon as i can get my hands on an 905r it's gone - tried the 905t and just didn't work for me. As for the 1iron, it only gets an outing if its very windy

[jleffell]

The 990s were the first set of irons I ever bought, six years ago (after multiple hand-me downs)

 

Last season I had the great idea of buying a more forgiving set despite loving my 990s look and feel (even though cast)

 

So I got the 704s for a graduation gift. I think they are the best combination of forgiveness and playability and I love the head shap but I cannot deal with the finish and those stupid looking feel pockets. I know they are in the cavity and you cannot see them but I seriously do not know what Titleist was thinking. I wish I waited six more months so I could have gotten the Bridgestone Cavity Backs. But I am still planning on using my 704s (they are in battle with a cheap used set of 300s i picked up over the summer) and refinishing my 990s and then giving them a second go. Those are the three sets of irons I have ever bought and I cannot see another set of irons outing my 990s or 300s any time soon.

 

Sorry for the rambling for those who actually read the above,

Great, great set of sticks. Had mine for almost a year now, after a layoff of a few years and coming back from Ram Tour Grinds.

 

Amazing feel for a cavity and if i change it will only be to a very near model like the 690cb's or 730's

 

Enjoy them, although that is a given. :drinks:
