670 Forged Blade

Summary:
This is the very best forged iron I have ever played! I played MP-29's. MP-33's, 681's, 680's and 690's and although I had reasonable success, nothing like I am having with the 670's! The feel is perfect! The swing weight is just right! The ball flight is amazing! I usually hit the ball a bit low but with these, the flight is up at a Pro Trajectory that allows the ball to get the maximum distance! I can shape the ball both ways! On off centered hits I still get most of the yardage I am trying to achieve! The feel at impact is the best I have experienced with forged blade clubs. I am a 5 handicapper and prefer a blade to cavity back clubs for the looks and the performance! If you are a good ball striker give these a try. You will love them!

Summary:
These irons are fantastic! Solid and crisp,yet soft feel. Unlike Titleists newer blades which have extra toe weighting(which can cause the occasional shot to flip off to the left), these are more neutrally weighted which I prefer. The trajectory is medium/boring, and like all better blades is very workable. The forgiveness is better than one would expect for such a relatively small clubhead, but these clubs are for intermediate to advanced golfers who practice a lot, and not for beginners. I also own the 695MB, but actually like these 670's better. Don't be put off by the description that these are only for steep swing downloaders--I have a sweeping style swing, and these work for that style swing as well. Even though you won't find this club advertised for sale much if at all, you can still buy these from any Titleist distributor--you just have to ask for them! Great,great irons, you won't be disappointed if you buy these sight unseen!

Summary:
This was my first set after taking a 10 year hiatus from the sport. So I was coming back as a newbie / very high handicapper. I figure that learning off a blade/muscleback would force me to groove my swing quickly, which it did. A month into using these clubs I was hitting the whole set pretty well.

A couple of months went by and my swing took a turn for the worst. I don't blame the clubs. I know these clubs are top notch, and when used by an experienced ball striker, magic can be accomplished.

These clubs were not a good choice for my skillset. When things started going wrong, I knew what the issues were, but I could not easily resolve them because the margin of error was very small and I'm just not that good of a golfer. There's no feeling like losing confidence at the top of your swing. We all have those, but a blade / muscleback magnifies these negative thoughts exponentially. I'm sure I could have eventually resolved my swing issues, but doing it with these irons would have taken a lot of time, effort, pain and intervention from the local golf pro. The time and effort is expected, but the pain sucks. And I don't need the local golf pro telling me what I already know, "you're not ready for these clubs."
