Titleist DCI 981 Irons

Pros: Incredibly true ball flight. Price was right. Overall beautiful club to look at.
Cons: Not quite as responsive.

Let me give you a quick background of my game;

I used to hit cavity backed Harvey Penick clubs with Graffaloy still graphite shafts, and I was tired of a flat ball flight with not much responsiveness. I decided to look at another set of clubs....

Pros: Great solid feeling but forgiving compact irons. Somewhat heavy swingweight (D-21/2), but sweet.
Cons: The shafts are stiffer than the rating.

For the past 10 years I have been playing Nicklaus "The Bear" irons. The 5 iron and Pitching wedge were lost and I could not find replacements.

The "Bear" irons are moderately compact, and slightly forgiving, particularly in the long irons....

Pros: solid feel, low center of gravity, good sweetspot
Cons: Ugly ugly ugly!

I am 5'2" and had always played with ultra-whippy, women's clubs cut down -1/2". Even though I played with a very beautiful set of cavity back irons, I couldn't control them and didn't understand why. That is, until I went on vacation and...

Pros: good look,added distance
Cons: none

This is a great golf club. I got them in July of this year and in my first tournament, I could already tell the difference. I hit the ball about 5 yards further with each club and my accuracy for my irons improved drastically. The great look on these...

Pros: feel great, custom, selection
Cons: none

I had been using the same clubs for years and not only did they not fit anymore but they were OLD. I must have spent two months at the driving range being fitted and trying out several different types of clubs. I chose the titleist 981. I love the way...

Pros: forgiving, high ball flight, easy to hit
Cons: takes time to develop accuracy, shafts light

I am an 11 handicap and have been playing these irons for around 4 weeks now. First of all, these irons look incredible and set up well. My last set were the Top Flite ProGrind irons with Rifle 6.0 extra stiff shafts. These clubs were also pretty much...

Pros: Forgiving, Accurate, Appeals to both low and middle handicappers
Cons: Flat feeling on most shots, Progressive Offset bothers some

The Titleist 981was designed to be like the 962 irons, but for higher handicappers. All around, it may be a better iron than 962, suitable for players of all skill level. I recently played with a 24 handicapper who used these clubs, and also saw...

Pros: everything!
Cons: none!

Simiply the finest Irons Iver ever hit, and Ive hit them all, a small enough head where you know you can still shape the ball but the perfect size telling you that you can really crank it. which you can.. These Irons Are everything that you couyld ask...

Pros: Distance, Purity
Cons: cost

Recently, I purchased the Titleist 981 irons, 3-PW. I use to play with the older gold Titleist irons and I thought a change would be nice. These new irons add a significant advantage to my game and I will tell you why.

The 981's are better...

Pros: Great looks, comfortable at setup, Titleist quality
Cons: none

The Titleist 981 irons are by far the best irons I have played thus far. They are extremely clean looking at address due to their classic styling and very easy to line up consistently. Their unique weighting provides for a ball flight that does not...

Pros: The BEST clubs in the market!!!
Cons: none

I bought these clubs last year. I was vey unsure whether to get these or the new King Cobras that had just came out. I ended up choosing these and let me tell you that i love them. I recently had the KCII and they were pretty good but not close to my...

Pros: Easy to hit, easy to get in air
Cons: Not as solid as steel

I bought a used set of Titleist 981 Graphite Shaft regular flex irons that had only been played with for 10 rounds. The irons were purchased from eBay and were in new condition. My previous set of irons were Tour Model II steel shaft irons which were...

Pros: Forgiving, low vibration when mis-hit, great overall value
Cons: high-priced

Titleist DCI 981's are a great set of irons. They are forgiving even sometimes when mis-hit. The price range for steel shafts is $515-$650 and graphite runs about $700-$775. Although the price seems a little steep, the clubs surely are worth it....

Pros: flexible shaft, greater distance
Cons: a little bit expensive but worth the buy

I recently purchased a set of DCI 981 Titleist irons and let me tell you that it has been my most valuable investment yet. The graphite shafts allow for flexibility in my swing. I have a very athletic approach and these shafts seem...

Pros: great ball flight
