Summary: Very good clubs..Played for the first time with them and love them. They are not as hard to hit as some will say, but not easy either. If you strike the ball well you can play with these clubs.

Summary: F'n Awesome. Low launch which is good for low handicap golfers and if you mis-hit one, they don't scream at you for making a mistake. Definitely not for high handicap golfers though. I can see how they could take the fun out of the game for some. I know this because I played the worst round of golf I've played (having one of those days) and second guessed my decision to buy them. Fortunately, a day on the range solved my problems.

Summary: I bought these 681's from Ebay and I love the way they look, feel and set up...BUT when I first tried them at the range, I could not get a ball in the middle of the face! Hosel rockets, toed shots, the whole - kept practicing with them but used my DCI 962's on the course - took about 3 months but my ball striking has improved unbelievably!! I have more shots in the bag them before - with these clubs I can hit a high fade, high draw, low runners, high lobbers, all of it - I recently took them out to the course for the first time and shot an 84 at a course with a 143 slope - I have truly improved with these clubs which was the whole point of getting them - my swing is pure and I can work the ball which I never was able to before - right pin placement? high fade - left pin placement? draw it in - when the situation calls for a certain shot, I can shape it and I will continue to get better as I improve at working the ball and getting it to hit and release towards the hole on my approach shots - glad I bought them but they will take some getting used to - if you are truly committed to improving your swing and actually getting better, buy 'em and grove your swing - good luck

These are the sweetest irons that I have ever been blessed to play. Sweet as melted butter.
Pinseekers indeed.
Now if Tiger could give me some putting lessons and teach me to roll the rock and sink those 30 footers under pressure then I'd be set! (mental kung fu goes a long way)
I suffered a shoulder injury and had resorted to shovels while I recovered, playing with graphite for over 16 months.
I can appreciate that shovels help out a great many golfers and are true blessings for player's seeking forgiveness (isn't that what a priest is for???) however, I had totally lost my swing playing Ping's.
A quality product but the offset and size of them did not work for me.
So...
I was in Golftown and one of the guys who knows me said; "I got something you really need to see and I bet you'll walk away with them". Showed me a used set of 681's with almost no wear to them.
Bought them that day, By the 3rd hit they were grooved and what a look at address. Eyeeeeeeee chihuahua!!!!
My swing was back, I was no longer getting dizzy standing over the ball looking at that much offset.
Noteworthy of mention is that Titleist put oil soaked dowels in these irons down at the hosel (vibration etc...)
These irons are the best blades that I have ever played... period.
What else can you say. Great penetrating ball flight, great distance ( no loss in comparison to any other club that I have tried), maybe 5 yards further for me.
8 iron carries 153 constant.
A great set of irons.
Keeping in mind that they are forged, I would highly encourage you to wet clean them after every hit. They are very soft and if you do not want the faces to look like land mine hit 'em, wet your towel before going out and keep them pristine.
Customer Service: Acushnet as always sucks the big one but it's hard to beat Titleist for quality.
