Titleist 990 Summary:
Best irons I've ever tried. I have tried all of the players clubs out there including the entire MP line of Mizuno and the various latest blades/CB's of Titleist. None compare to the 990. Easiest club to work and the most accurate. Average players should stay clear. Good players should beckon and expert players should buy them. These are THE best club ever created. Customer Service:

Titleist 990 Summary:
I have played Ben Hogan Apex blade irons for most of my golfing life. As they are becoming more difficult to find (in conditions worth buying anyway), I have converted to Titleist. I recently bouught a set of mint 1982 Tour Models..love 'em.
I was looking for a set of mimimal cavity back irons, non-forged that will hold up longer than soft forged. I bought a good condition set of 990's on Ebay for 60.00 - less than a set of grips. So I had nothing to lose.
I am generally a consistent ball striker. I find that these irons don't provide any more help in regard to forgiveness than my blades.
If you are looking to make the step towards blades, buy these. They are inexpensive so risk is low, and they will force you to learn how to make a good pass at the ball. When you learn how, you will love these.

Titleist 990 Summary:
Disregard the reviews that claim these clubs to be forged. They are cast. Despite this fact, they are simply the best feeling irons I have ever laid my hands on and I've laid many. The profile at address is near perfection. When hit solidly, they are the longest irons I've ever hit yet the lofts are weak by today's standards. Lesser players should avoid these clubs and any other club that doesn't look like a garden hoe. Let me digress...these clubs are sublime and should be considered to be the bee's knees. They are like super fly TNT. I shoot low 70's and I'm the club champ. Have a good one. Customer Service:
Why would I call customer service for golf clubs? Similar Products Used:
I'm not going to list them. Rest assured I've tried just about all of them.

Titleist DCI 990 irons Summary:
I am left handed and bought a set of Titleist DCI 990 irons when I saw them in the hands of Phil Michelson. I am far from a Phil but wanted to experience the same clubs that a great pro uses. Prior to that I was using very forgiving Cavity back irons. Wow what a difference! It took quite some time to make the adjustments for the 990s. These are S300 stiff shaft irons with heads as close to forged "tour ( muscle back) heads as it gets. The "sweet spot" is bigger than a tour blade but not by much . When you miss it lets you know it. It feels like hitting a brick with a a piece of Re-bar . Actually hurts some times. When you connect its like waving the club head through a soft piece of butter and WOW does the ball take off ! Once you get the "hang" of these beauties you get to understand why tour blade clubs were always a pro favorite....with slight adjustments in stance and grip you can hit gorgeous draws and fades that a cavity back tries to "correct" and eliminate.
IMO.. these clubs are NOT for mid/high handicappers. They would only frustrate them . You need to have a reasonable and repeatable golf swing to get the most out of these clubs.
Sadly , I'm in my mid sixties and don't have anywhere near the flexibility and lack of physical pain that I used to have. The clubs have become unplayable for me. I got it down to an 8 at one point and played through my mid 50s at a 10. No more...Hey enough of my whining..If you are in reasonable physical condition and have a good golf swing ( with a high swing speed for the "stiff" True Temper S300U shafts) you would LOVE these magnificent clubs. Sometimes older is way better than "the latest" If you find a set of these beauties in good condition, grab em. You will not be sorry.

Titleist DCI 990 Summary:
I picked these clubs up for 200 bucks from a guy that my local golf pro new. They were in mint condition and have True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 shafts. This is my first set of non game improvement clubs, my previous set was Titleist DCI Black Oversized + that I sold 12 years ago. Thses clubs are great and Im very pleased with them, supper solid when you them hit flush but they do let you know when you miss hit them. They are easy to hit and even with my 12 year lay off. My only complaint is that the stock grips are hard which might be due to age and I will be changing them soon. I would recomend these clubs to anyone willing to put in some time to improve their game, as I have been doing over the last 6 weeks. Similar Products Used:
