Titleist Review: 981 Irons

Manufacturer: Titleist Golf


Details:

Purchase: I'm 15, and I bought these irons off of Ebay for around $200. I had to buy them off the net since we don't have much selection here in alaska without ordering offline or through the shop.

Pros: I like them alot. They are the perfect mid muscle-back iron. I'm a 10 handicap. They are so soft off of hard ground, and very solid feeling off of soft ground. The weather is varying here in Alaska and it can be windy and dead calm the next. With these clubs you can hit all kinds of shots with them, in the wind I will hit knockdown shots from 150-100 yards in. If your in dead calm weather you can aim right at the pin. These irons are extremely accurate and really keep your trajectory the way you want it to be in the shot. I like the way that Titleist made the longer irons more offset, but decereases the offset as you come more into the 8 iron through pitching wedge, it really gives the the power to work the ball and put spin on it.

Cons: Can be difficult to hit off of the tee, so I tee it up as low as it will go, so that I get the soft feeling. Not a huge sweet spot, it is about the size of a nickel.

981 Quality: The construction was well thought of by Titleist, they made sure that these irons were going to be winners. The steel shafts give it that extra weighting that keeps your swing in a smooth tempo instead of trying to hit too hard.

Summary: I love these irons, if you are looking for irons that are cavity but the control of muscle then these are for you! I'd say if you have a good smooth sming and hit the sweetspot majority of the time then buy these! Good deals of brand new ones on Ebay!
