It may have been the sleek chrome finish or the old-world styling but whatever the case, they drew attention from a wide spectrum of golfers. Before hitting the irons, like those many admirers, I had a strong appreciation for the look of these sticks. With a compact head shape, slight cavity enhanced with a solid weight pad, and slender soles they draw easy comparison to the classic Titleist blade irons of the past.
Titleist CB 710 Irons is very good looking set of irons. The head size and amount of offset clearly state that these are players clubs and all clubs look the business at address. The consistent sized heads look especially good in the short Titleist CB 710 Irons and also manage to make the long irons look approachable. One thing that others have commented on is the size of the number on the Titleist CB 710 Irons sole. Since it's on the sole it doesn't matter but while it makes it easier to see from a distance it doesn't seem to match the rest of the elegant look. The 1025 carbon steel has a high shine chrome finish which is top draw but I can't help but think how good they would have looked in a satin finish.
Titleist forgings are generally held to be firmer than Japanese forgings and that feels true here but the difference is minuscule. That's not to say the shot out of the sweet spot doesn't reward you with a gorgeous thrill as you feel the benefit of the soft carbon steel used in this forging. The feel in general is super solid and feels much closer to a blade than a typical cavity back. Mishits off the heel or low on the face are dealt with very well. Toe strikes are only slightly less well dealt with and one high offs the face produces a 'clack' that will surprise you but the perimeter weighting ensures that there is no real loss of distance in either case.
