Titleist DCI 962 Irons

Pros: Second best iron made, great feel and control, good distance
Cons: Not the best iron around

Do not get me wrong; the DCI Irons are quite awesome. However, there is one reason why you should avoid them and I will go into it a bit later.

A little on my golf expertise (or lack thereof depending on your views) to begin with. I played...

Pros: Feel, cost, control
Cons: Not for beginners

One of the biggest influences in any sport is the feel of the equipment. Something that just feels "right" is more likely to help in better performance in that particular sport. Golf is one sport where not only the players skill level but the clubs...

Pros: Destined to be a classic.
Cons: Slightly shorter distance than other irons.

In reading from some original Titleist ads from ten years back, DCI stands for "Direct Central Impact". The concept behind the DCI series is that the centerbof gravity is placed precisely in the centre of the clubface for each club. In Titleist's own...

Pros: Workability and blade style
Cons: Not a good club for high handicap players

I bought this set of DCI 962 golf clubs about a year ago. Since then I have not found any other club that can even remotely compete with this club. I personally have gone from a 12-handicapper to a 6-handicapper in the year I have owned these clubs. I...

Pros: Forgiving cast cavity, minimal offset for great shot forging
Cons: Heavy weight helps when shaping shots, but decreases comfortable swing speed.

For golfers who are more avid than most, yet not confident enough for blades...I give you the 962. Titleist stopped making these blades and replaced them with the 762 or 990b's. If you see some in a pro shop or on e-bay, pick them up, they'll make you...

Pros: Good look, Great for creating shots, Consistent accuracy from PW-2 iron
Cons: Hard to hit for high handicappers, No offset, Small sweetspot

The Titleist 962 Irons are as attractive as they come, simple and classic look, but obviously designed using some of golf's most advanced technology. The irons are a combination of blades and cavity backs. The faces of the clubs are very small in...

Pros: great feel
Cons: heavy heel

I have been playing with the DCI clubs for quite a while now and I have no major complaints. The sole of this particular club is heavier which makes my swing feel more even. The ball is lifted off the clubs face with a solid, well struck feel. The...

Pros: top of the line and not overpriced
Cons: difficult to find for southpaws

Golf is no longer a dry and dull sport that you hate to see on tv every weekend. It is now the sport for the kings of our society. It is the ultimate business sport where you now talk among your fellow kings about stock portfolios rather than how...

Pros: High quality, Titleist name
Cons: Costly

The Price
The site claims that these clubs retail at $1100, however I have seen this set for much cheaper. I purchased my new set from a club pro who is sponsored by Titleist for about $400. However, at the pro shop that he owns he offers...

Pros: well made, strong performance
Cons: expensive

I've been playing golf for 25 years and I've used many clubs over the years. I definitely feel that Titleist are my personal favorites. What I really like about these clubs is the cavity back. I used to be a big fan of a "bladed" club but...

Pros: accurate, easy to swing
Cons: a little expensive

I no longer struggle from the fairway as I once did. I bought a Titleist DCI 962 2-iron, and have found that my long fairway game has improved considerably. I have found the DCI 962 to be a smooth swing, and make clean contact out of the fairway as...

Pros: A pleasure to strike the ball
Cons: Less Strokes

These clubs are a pleasure to play eighteen or even 36 holes with. I had never played better golf before I start swinging with DCI's. I was given these clubs by my father for a birthday/high school graduation present. Before, I had been playing with...

Pros: Good distance, feel, and control.
Cons: Not the best iron for players with a higher handicap.

I guess that my qualifications for writing this opinion start with having grown up next to a golf course, having an older brother who is a golf enthusiast, having started golfing around the age of 8, and still living 4 doors away from that same golf...

Pros: The best irons for the buck. Titleist Quality.
Cons: Might not be good for beginners. Harder to find new. Might be expensive.

Ok, so I read a few of the reviews on the Titleist 962 irons before I wrote mine.

First of all, the guy who was the "#1 reviewer" and other people who have reviewed these clubs sound like they know what they are talking about. Doubt it....

Pros: Excellent Distance, Solid Construction, Great Feel
Cons: Long Irons are tough to hit, Unforgiving

Titleist has once again done a great job with its DCI 962 irons. These irons come in 3 different versions, the 962, 962A and 962B. The A and B models offer less of a cavity back and should only be played by low handicap golfers who are excellent ball...
