735 CMs Vs. J33 CBs...Opinions needed!

[DoubleCup]

So I've had my Bridgestone J33 CBs for all of two months, and being the Ho that I am, I can't stop looking at the 735CMs!! Anyone hit both who can compare? Which do you like better and why? I'm very tempted to buy a set of 735s...(shoot me now!). Thanks.

I have hit both plus 695MB's and 695CB's all in the same weekend all with the same shafts. I ended up buying 695CB's. Better flight than all the others, including the mb's (must be the little stonger loft) and better on miss hits than all.

I have a set of 735 CM chrome and have hit the Bridgestones. I like them both. I think the long irons were easier to hit in the Bridgestones but the Titleist aren't bad either. I put my three iron back in the bag with this set. I haven't had one in the bag in years. I put Black Golds in mine and they feel great. Not as soft as my MP-60s but I think they are easier to hit and control. The short irons have a great low flight (the bore depth is deeper than the other irons in the set) and the long irons are quite easy to get up. I think it all comes down to which one you like the best. You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks. What about feel between the two? Which felt better to you?

I hate to say it but I think the Bridgestones were softer and more Mizuno like. I just loved the control over the short irons with the Titleist.

Just put a set of 735 CM (chromes) in my bag this weekend. Was a long-time Mizuno player, most recently MP-32s (past year and a half). I demoed the J33 CBs and really wanted to like them. I think they look great, but found them to feel harsh. Feel is subjective, and I've read reviews from people who thought they were very soft, but I didn't think so.

 

The 735s look great. They have a bit more offset than the B'stones, and the mid and long irons are silly easy to hit. Like another poster, I put the 3-iron in play and took out a hybrid. The short irons play like true blades. They are not as "buttery" as the Mizunos, but they feel very solid.

 

Like I said, I really wanted to like the J33 CBs. They look fantastic, but the 735 CMs look great too, and work better for me.

Thanks. I really like the look of the 735s also. I personally like the little bit of "notch" offset that most Titleist irons have. I'm really tempted...

Well, yesterday I went over to Golf Galaxy and bought the 735 Chromes. I couldn't resisit them. Got them to price match the lowest online price I could find; $649 ($150 LESS than the Galaxy price).

 

Although I haven't taken them out for a spin (rain all weekend...), I am positive I'll like these more than my J33 CBs. Here's why:

 

--They set up a little better to my eye; a little more square with the notched offset.

 

--They feel a bit more solid; maybe not softer per se (probably the same in this category), but more solid for some reason.

 

--Blade short irons are not as thick/clunky/heavy looking as the b'stones.

 

--Long irons seem much more forgiving.

 

--Prefer the chrome finish over the satin.

 

So I'm a happy camper (for now :yahoo: )...

 

Just trying to ignore the amount of money I spend on golf equipment. :yahoo:

Hope you like them as much as I do.
