Still have my 1978 Tour Models 2-PW. Do not game any longer but looking to game a MB in the coming weeks. Should be an adventure...

I'm with the 710ers, love the Titleist down low on the iron.

I owned a set of 680 mb and sold it to buy the 714 mb.
For me that was a very bad move.
The 680 was outstanding with a center of gravity higher on the face of the club that was giving a lower ball flight.
I bought the 716 Mb, after selling the 714 mb. 716 mb are good but not better than the 680.

Been playing for 40+years, I’ve had these in my bag for almost 20.
I cannot get myself to buy new. I hit these things so crisp, the feel is like nothing else: I’m a 2 handicap and these things are the best thing I’ve ever played. I’m on TSR and SM 8 just can’t give these old MB’s up.

Why don't 660's ever show up in Titleist convos?

How about 1981 Titleist Tour Models. Feel great when you pure it.

Something about the apparent bulge on the back of the 680 looks good to me, but that's just comparing these pictures. I played some 690.CB irons for a long time in the early 80s or so. I don't think I ever hit blades anymore by then.

My all time favorite iron set was the Titleist 981 T. I would give anything to own a set of those. Why doen't Titleist re launch these? the 981T would sell like hot cakes. They could easily sell 10000 sets across the world.

I've gamed 690MBs since 2003... wife purchased 690CB for birthday, but I traded up (no offense CB, but I was vain!) to the MB.

Loved them, played them, bought another set as backup, refinished them 13 years later, one in chrome, one in satin... anyway favorite sticks of all time.

THEN, sat in on a fitting, tried the 718MB with different shaft and now I have three sets of MBs. The 718s are great for me, little heavier than 690s, got a lighter shaft as well, love them as well, maybe picked up a 1/2 club (loft stronger also).

Could do without the big MB stamp in toe, but nevertheless, I say to you... go try em out.

I absolutely loved the 690 with the px6.0 shaft. I played them for about 10 years to the point where the grooves were gone/dull as could be. My only complaint was I couldn’t get a 2 iron for the set and had to settle for the 695z blade which I hated the look of but loved the results. Switched to the AP2’s for 2 seasons and absolutely hated them and setttled with the CB’s.

The 710 looks like you can shave with the leading edge! Those are art, a thing of beauty.

712 MBs

I love them all. Interesting that Adam Scott still uses 680's.

I’ve played with my 690 MB’s for so long, nothing else feels any better. Just tried the 718 AP2’s They were ok, but felt very light compared to the 690’s - they are pretty beat up, but not horrific, BUT I feel it’s time to make a change after all these years. I’ve yet to try the 718 MB’s. Any advise here? Anybody try or have the 718’s that have an opinion of any difference between their older blades? Blades obviously have the least details out of all types of clubs, I guess it’s mostly aesthetics and slight weight distribution of the muscle back and contour. Lastly it definitely feels good with a new set of anything and with blades, there’s a longer in between gap of not feeling like there’s another completely different model coming out next year. One aesthetic that throws me off is the MB laser engraved white outline, almost looks like it’s printed on the club. Any feedback or add ons to my rant, lol, would be appreciated.

Muscle Backs are out of my skill set right now. Based on looks though, I prefer the 690. They just look sleek to me. Love my AP1's though.

I liked the square toe model the best, 690's would take second place

I loved my 690.MB's before I moved to the dark side with miz and then back into the light with the 716CB's. I keep them as my second set, including my 905S driver, steel shafted 980F Strong 3 wood and Scotty Luguna for the occasional 18 holes in the summer as a change. There is nothing that feels like striking a blade from the sweet spot, especially the 2 iron.

What a beautiful bag that is! The 905S is a BEAST and all those clubs in your bag I was a big fan of when they came out. How cool it is to see this bag and get transported back to 2004/2005..

Is there any documentation we can see that proves this difference or can someone at Titleist confirm? As a 690MB owner, I'm very curious to know. My understanding was that the only difference between the 690MB and the 690.MB was the lie angle and shaft length.

Slightly wider sole of the 670 makes them sweet to hit ....
