Titleist 680 Forged Irons

Titleist 680 Forged Irons 

DESCRIPTION

The new Forged 680 irons are a traditional, compact, reduced offset blade iron targeted at the player that wants a smaller head for shot workability and trajectory control. They feature a slightly higher muscle back configuration than the 690MB, which produces a slightly flatter ball flight with enhanced workability.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to try the 680 blades. They remind me a great deal of My 1967 Macgregor VIP MB blades which I wouldnt trade for anything! The 680 is top-notch no doubt.

the 680 titliest blades are designd for the lower handicap that wants more control over thier tracterory of their ball flight also these irons have been desighned for the custermor to have more shot shaping ability and these irons are easier to shot shape than the average set of cavity backs or muscle back

These are the sweetest clubs i have ever hit. I used ping g2s then i3+s before making the switch. The club sets up nicely behind the ball and if you like a thin topline it is beautiful. At first i lost about 5 yards but after a few sessions at the range to get used to the weighting gained 10 extra yards. These irons feel very soft when you hit them on the sweetspot, and it is effortless to work the ball. The beveled (a shallow concave grind)leading edge is also a nice touch that is meant to prevent digging. The sole is thin with little bounce so if you like shallow divots it is perfect.

Only consider these irons if you feel confident in your ball striking i.e. you consistently hit the center of the clubface and your divots are after the ball. off center hits can lose a lot of distance depending on how far from the center of the clubface you are.

I'm a long-time fan of Mizuno irons, and have played the 29s and 33s, but have always favored the MP14s. When Titleist came out with the 690s, I like their looks except that the blade length was a little longer than I like. I had previously bought a set of 681s, that I played with a couple of times and sold - they just had a harsh feel and sharp edge lines. When they came out with the 680s, the blade length is a bit shorter and they supposedly have a higher CG to bring down the trajectory so I thought I'd give them a try. The set I bought was +1/2" and D5 swingweight. I loved the looks in all regards, they felt as good as Mizunos, but the swingweight was a bit heavy, although I liked the extra length. So, I decided to reshaft them with Dynalite Gold S200's which are 118 grams, compared to the Dynamic Gold S300's which are 130 grams. I made them +1/4", and the swingweight turned out at D2.5, which is great. (By the way, a Dynalite Gold shaft is essentially equivalent to a Hogan Apex shaft, in terms of weight and flex characteristics). Anyway, played them this past weekend, and the results were better than I had even hoped for. Incredibly solid feel, the weight and length combo is just right, and I'm getting 3-5 yds more with each club. I'm pleased with every characteristic of these clubs - perfect look at address thru the entire set (something a lot of clubs don't have), beveled leading edge, beautiful finish, great feel, and great trajectory. If you play DG shafts and you want a little more feel and snap to your shots, with just a tad less weight, the Dynalite Gold shafts are a great option - they've made a really good set of irons great!

What a great set of irons!!!! Had never hit them before but read many articles on how they are suppose to lower your ball flight, which I dearly needed. I have hit them twice on the range and absolutely love them! My ball flight is down considerably and I have actually gained some distance on all my irons. I usually have a little fade on my previous irons, which were Mizuno MP-33's, but now I hit it dead straight almost every time. On occasion I can put a little draw on the ball which is which is awesome for my long iron shots. I have been playing blades for the last 5-6 years and I these are my favorite. I will keep these babies in my bag for a long time to come.

The 680 forged design is simply the best iron out there. I am a 6 handicap golfer of 15 years of age and these clubs are mint! With my previous 990 irons i found that the weighting caused me to hood the face through impact, however with the 680 the ball goes dead straight with a tail of draw at the end. Who ever said blades were hard to hit? Do not be put off by the size of the head because these are easier to hit than a cavity. Off centre hits are average but who misses the sweetspot with these irons? The weighting is superb and the shafts are excellent. Previous i experimented with the 690mb and they are not a patch on the 680. The 680 delivers a much lower and more penetrating ball flight for easy control with long irons and shot workability with short irons. A superb club!

I have been playing with 962Bs for about 3 years. I happened to try out the 680s on the range when a friend bought a set. I liked the clubs and so I bought a set. I shot a 75 for the first time in my life (was an 18 handicap 3 years ago). I like the way club looks, very sleek, I like the feel when good contact is made - these clubs are definitely longer than 962Bs - I gained 20 yards on my pitching wedge (100-> 120)- its either that I am making better contact than I ever have. You get instant feedback on a mis-hit and you can tell what the ball will do without looking at it. All in all, excellent clubs - not for everyone especially if forgiving clubs are desired.
