Stay tuned gents because as we speek these clubs are on the way. I was down on a jag from Houston and slipped into an Edwinwatts. Talked the guy from $275 used to just $125. Near mint condition. It's what I do. Anyway, once I embark on this journey with these irons I'll let you know how they play. You can be assured that a perfect swing will be used to test them out. After which you can erase the rest of the reviews and use mine as the golf standard. Lest you are unaware of my greatness, I am the greatest ball striker of all time. I'm out.

An old chum from the docks used to tell me never to compare.

These are the best clubs I have ever laid my hands on. I can easily shape the ball with them. The size of the head is perfect. I find these irons better than some of the newer clubs on the market. They take nice long divots. Recommend for single digit players like my self.

These are the best clubs i have ever touched. There is nothing bad about them. The head is a nice size and the sole cuts through the ground smoothly.

I bought the 690mb's off the net new for a great price(less than nds's) after two of my nike nds heads came loose. I think there great clubs and have improved my game giving me the same distace with less effort . They take a while to get use to blades but once you do your handy cap will thank you for it. If i ever buy another set of clubs it will be blades.I find the head a little smaller but sweet spot seems the same.

I am about a 7 handicapper and have been thinking of going to a blade. I was a little skeptical as I had tried blades once before and it was a disaster. So I bought a used set of 690 mb and I am loving them. I work the ball very well with them and get a nice trajectory out of them. All in all Im very pleased and recommend them highly.

i have to agree with JtheB. these irons are very good. i am a 2 handicap and on college team but i have had these irons for 5 years (since i was 13) and i never had trouble hitting them solid. the size of the face may seem intimidating but the sweet spot is just about the same and a cavity back iron

I recently bought these clubs used for an extremely cheap price. They are in great shape, and, I must say, are absolutely stunning. Even if you can't hit them, you'll look good carrying them to the course.
Prior to my purchase, I read a lot of reviews about blades. The common account is that you must be a single digit, "highly skilled", close to scratch golfer to play these clubs. Absolutely not true. If you want to get better, play with better clubs. Don't get me wrong, these clubs definitely do not reward bad swings. If you hit it off the toe, or catch it fat, the ball is simply not going where you intended it to go. However, to me, and to many, this is common sense. A good swing equals a good shot; a bad swing equals a bad shot. Afterall, isn't that the point of the game?
Regardless, the titleist 690s are a great club. I have actually gained distance and hit them pretty much with the same trajectory as my old DCI 962's. With these clubs, it is extremely easy to work the ball if you need to, and its much easier for me to play the kock down shot. I couldn't work the ball at all with the CBs (I am of the belief that a player should just focus on hitting it straight until they can at least break 80, but if you need to work the ball around trouble, you can. They are, in a word, magnificent; they instill confidence, but they demand performance. If you perform, they perform.
So, it ultimately depends on what your looking for in a club. If your looking to get better, these clubs will certainly help. They WILL fine tune your swing. But, if your just looking to play a decent round when you go out there once every 2 months with a not so refined swing, then try a game improvement club. If you don't have a good swing, you'll be embarrassed. But if you can put a solid swing on the ball and make solid contact, try the 690s. You won't be dissappointed.
You may want to go to the range first to iron out your swing. These clubs do exagerate bad swings, sending the ball WAY offline. After a few bad shots, however, you'll feel what you are doing, and you'll be able to correct, and improve, your golf swing. This is what I mean by, "If you want to get better, use a better club."
I also have to point out that I learned on the blade-style 962 cavity backs, so the small profile of the 690s does not bother me. If you use currently use the game improvement clubs, the small profile, especially in the longer irons, may not give you so much confidence.

Titleist DCI 962 Cavity Backs

Great club, I have the tendency to hit the ball off the toe , but with the forged irons I can feel this happening and correct it almost instantly.

Titleist 990, Taylormade RAC,

I've just acquired a used set of 690.mb and am loving it. It took several trips to the range before ironing out my swing with the xtra stiff x100 shafts but the results are worth the initial humiliation of spraying my first 100 balls. My scores usually suffer from my short game and putting...arrrgh!!
In the past I've used Mizuno TZoid, Cleveland TA1 and CG1 respectively. The CG1 feels softer than the crisp 690.MB when hit well, and I can hit the long irons sweeter and more consistent with them. But despite what many have stated about the the 690.MB's higher flight path, I've not lost but gained distance with the them by 5-10 meters.
I'm looking forward to using this set for many 'forged' years to come. Hopefullly, I've not made a mistake in its purchase because I've passed up a cheaper offer of a great set of MP33s.
Time to work on my short game...
