Description Titleist Z•B Forged irons are high performance, blended cavity-to-muscle back forged irons with traditional feel, superior looks and shot control for the highly skilled player.
Summary: I picked these up about three weeks ago after weeks of debate between these, the AP2's, and several Mizuno models. I actually found these accidentilly, and I really liked the way they looked. But when I hit them, I LOVED the way they felt. I tweaked them a little and had them made with Nippon Stiff shafts and multi-compound grips. I found that the DG and the Project X shafts were too heavy and clunky.
The bottom line with these clubs is that if you have a decent/consistent swing, you will love these clubs. I am no scratch golfer and was very concerned that a I would not be able to hit these things. Boy was I wrong....After 5 rounds and several range sessions, I hit these things pure 95% of the time. I suggest that you hit as many balls as you can before buying them, but don't let the blade scare you away. These things are deadly accurate.

Summary: These clubs are amazing, but don't get me wrong- they are not miracle workers. You need a decent swing and should be practicing or playing 4-5 times a week. The first few times on the range with these clubs I felt as though I hadn't chosen the right set, but as I practiced more and more, the perfect shots started to emerge. The club will definately let you know if you don't put the right swing on the ball, but if you play the amount of golf that I do and you are looking to shoot some lower scores, these are the blades for you. My favorite thing about these irons is that they are graduated meaning- 3-5 full cavity, 6-7 half cavity and 8-pw are full blade. For me, this provides more forgiveness on the front end and a heck of a lot more accuracy on the back end.
Customer Service: bought them thru a local Titleist rep and he was great to work with

Summary: These are my first set of forged blade irons. I love the penetrating ball flight of a solidly hit shot. The 7-pw are very easy to hit and very workable, but if you don't play daily, or at least every few days, i would not suggest these for you. When you have a miss hit, you definitely recieve the feedback from the club that stings. On a solid shot, they feel amazing, and you get that nice "clicking" sound off the clubface. I have found out that when i just "slide" the club through the ball, I get the sting. But when I "dig" at the ball, that is when I hit it the most solidly.

Summary: coming from mizuno mp-60's i was looking for a set that could not only provide great feel and feedback but also bring down my ball flight a little. I've played 10 round's with zb's and here are my thoughts.
Short irons are very controllable with a very strong flight, minimal forgiveness and a very pleasing appearance.
They fly on a significantly lower trajectory than the mizuno's.
The long irons are more forgiving than the mizuno's but have a thicker sole and top line which took some adjusting to.
All in all i have picked up 1 club in distance and have a much more manageable flight. Great irons.

Summary: Very solid club with a penetrating ball flight. The 8-pw are easy to work and are especially good for knockdown shots.
As with all clubs of this type you need to put in some practice. Swipes at the ball will be severly punished. If you turn up every second weekend for a few holes, then be prepared to hack your way around and go home in foul mood with zingy fingers!
These are not as "soft" as Mizuno's and have a very noticable "solid click" when struck on the sweet spot. This is a very nice feeling when you get used to it.
These irons are Titlesit's best offering for years and the equal of any Mizuno iron.
The modern design make them more forgiving than older Titlesit blade models, but the word forgiving is "relative".
If you are serious about improving and willing to put in the time these are suberb irons
Customer Service: A lot better than the past. Had these custom fitted and delivered in two weeks...a big improvement for Titleist
Similar Products Used: TM RAC TP forged (very good irons), Mizuno MP32 (as good as it gets, but not as forgiving as made out), Wilson Staff blades (a sore and unforgettable introduction to golf!!)
