Titleist’s Vice President of Golf Club Marketing, Chris McGinley, answers questions about the Titleist 735.CM irons.
What type of golfer are the 735’s geared towards?
The Titleist golf club line is designed for the competitive and better player, and we have seen these clubs attracting a wide range of better golfers.We recommend that any golfer, no matter what their talent level, be custom fit by a well trained, professional club fitter to find the appropriate model and personal specifications that work the best.
I would also recommend getting custom fit for golf clubs. When I took lessons at the beginning of the summer, the instructor took a look at my clubs and we found out I needed a thicker grip because I have such large hands.
Titleist has posted an excellent article on their site titled Where’s the Harm? which challenges the idea that golf ball technology is harming the game of golf.
For those who deem a distance “problem” exists, to identify the golf ball as the sole contributor to and the solution for is an over-simplification. While the professional game has experienced a paradigm shift toward the “Power Game” in the past two decades, it has been the result of six contributing variables, five of which are continually overlooked by the media and antitechnology pundits. In addition to lower spinning, high performance golf balls, other factors include larger, thinner-faced titanium drivers with graphite shafts; improved golf course conditioning and agronomy; bigger, stronger and better conditioned athletes; improved technique and instruction; and launch monitors and customization of equipment.
This summer I bought some mint condition Titleist Pro V1 golf balls off eBay and I can assure you they didn’t improve my scoring by much, if at all. I like the feel of the ball and the confidence I have hitting them, but I’m not sure they’re worth the money.
Titleist’s newest irons are targeted at skilled golfers. The irons are the first blended set created by Titleist. Blended sets have been getting more and more popular among golfers. As a blendeded iron set progresses from long iron to pitching wedge, the focus of each club shifts from forgiveness and distance to spin and control.
The 2, 3, and 4 irons in the set feature cavitybacks; the mid-irons have a shallow cavity; and the short irons employ a full muscleback. It’s the first-ever blended iron set from Titleist.
The cavity isn’t the only thing progressing in this blended set, however; Titleist also makes slight progressions in the blade heights, blade lengths, offset, topline, center of gravity and moment of inertia through the set, tweaking each club for maximum performance.
Titleist is normally recognized for making golf balls, but they make some great golf clubs as well.
