I want.. I want.. I want..

I totally have a hard-on for these. I live 5 minutes from the PGA Superstore, and I swear, I've probably played maybe 36 holes with these demo clubs in the simulators. They might FORCE me to buy them I "try them" to much.

They look great, feel great. The shafts I think they had are rifle 6.0 I think.

Who knows if thats the shafts I need, because they feel so good.

I have the 2005 CB, but I just LOVE these MB irons.. The smoke finish makes me never want to lift my head again, I just stare..

Those are rather unforgiving, my friend. You're better off with something that has a cavity.

Doesn't matter.. I like to look good driving around the course more than playing..

I've always thought they were one of the most beautiful golf clubs ever made.

I can take or leave the smoke finish, but yeah, otherwise, I agree. I almost bought a set of MBs a couple weeks ago, and probably will before fall. They even make a 1 iron!

I want these. They hit soooooooo gooooooodddddd. but then again i pretty play blades as it is so it wouldn't be much of a change for me. But I also may get a set of those Titleist ZM muscle back blades or whatever they are.

Those are some damn pretty clubs, no doubt about it. No way I could hit them worth a poop, though. I wonder how durable that finish is.

I have these but not the smoke ones, and let me tell you something...! They are awesome, and they look amazing, but when they go wrong, they go BIG wrong...

Makes you practice a lot more though and the control is like nothing I've seen before!

I play with the 2005 Rac TP CB's, and I've been told they aren't forgiving at all.

I'm around a 16 Handicap from my latest scores, and while I'm not 100% consistent at striking the ball perfect, I'm pretty close, with the occasional worm burner.

I love the simplistic blade look. I love the think top line on my irons, and the thinner sole.. The forged feel is just great. I love the feedback, although my hands might not sometimes. I hate all the colors, the plastic inserts, the logos, and whatever else just beaming off irons that are on the market these days. I feel like someone let a pre-schooler design them as an art project.

I want to barf when I see the Callaway Fusion irons.. How fat are those damn things?! The soles are wider than bike tires!

I just hit better when I'm confident at address, and these MB's are just that.. Haven't used them on the course, but in the sims' at the stores, I'm dead nuts with them.

Maybe when I can find a nice 1,000 I'll grab em, and sell my CB's.

I tell you what, if you can play them, or you're not far from playing them, ho them. But please please make sure you play them on the course before you buy them. Find someone in the club that has some, or get them to tape them up and send you out with a couple. I love mine like I said, but when I first got them, I was scared sh*tless when I pulled the 3-5 out of the bag. The heads are tiny!!

I really would say that these are without doubt the most beautiful clubs made, and I would get everyone to have them, but people can't play them. I found when I got mine I did skull a few and a few more fat shots, but that'll go if you put the time in!

They are the same profile as your irons now. Combine the two sets, and you will have a disgustingly beautiful iron set.

I think the Titty 695cb.s look better than these. But whatever floats your boat.
