Anyone else still using Titleist 962b irons?

[Mitchell]

As title states, anyone else still using these irons? Just got another set of unused heads for shaft experiment, low offset,more traditional lofts, great sole grind, smaller head size, conforming grooves and practically indestructible in same fashion as older Pings. I am curious if others appreciate the irons or if I am one of few remaining.

My tourn partner still games them... He picked these up to replace an older set of Snake Eyes CB's...
I believe shafted with s300's & he throws monster high cuts into every green with them... Perfect consistent spin every time....
Like clockwork

I played the 962's till I flattened the grooves. I love that sole grind, but I can't remember what they called it. Seems like all my subsequent irons, with the exception of a set of Callaway's for half a season, have the exact same look at address. A nice straight leading edge helps me point in the right direction.

I think that they are one of the top irons ever made. Great looks and playability with a bit of forgiveness.

[BirdieBob]

I had some for 7 years but moved on...... liked the stainless steel heads.
Did have to send the PW in to have it regrooved once, but GolfWorks did a great job on that.
Played well with them!

[MrParr1Noid]

Triple sole grind... I have a set of 962's in the basement with "Precision" Rifle 6.0's in them. My son would disown me if I ever got rid of them...

[bppry]

I sold my last set to a buddy two years ago and regret it. I keep asking to buy them back but he won't do it. Loved those clubs.

[Tee2Green85]

i had both the 962 and 762 but i prefered the 762, they were such sweet irons, and i really miss titleist making the 2 iron for there sets. Those were the good old days!

[Mitchell]

In addition to my normal playing set of 3-pw listed in my signature, I have an x100 shafted 962b 2 that sees a fair bit of use in windy conditions as well as another unused set 2-pw I am planning on shafting up soon.

[VinceFurnier]

I still play the 962 irons. Not the B's, but still have the triple grind. I have played 6-7 sets in the last ten years and keep going back. Accurate, versatile, and somewhat forgiving. S300 shafts haven't changed a bit. Trustworthy sticks.

[Rbh32]

Have played the 962b since 1998 when I got them new. Would love to find some unused heads just to have "in case."

[Grim]

Just bought my 962s back from a buddy I sold them to when he was getting into golf.

First real set I ever owned.

[Buzzkill]

Great clubs! Had them twice - bought them new when they came out and had a used set a couple years ago.

[Dragonfly]

Backup bag (which gets about as much play as the "A" bag), has a mixed set of 962/962B's. One of the best ever to come from Titleist.

[yellolab]

Still have mine, along with the 975J driver and 975F 16.5 4 wood. Fun to take them to the range, they still represent well!

[TitlePured]

currently in the bag... picked up a used set cheap. Plugged some original satin Project X with gripmaster stitchbacks in them. Needless to say they are one of a kind at my home course. I like these A. the triple grind is versatile B. Very durable cast C. a very workable players cavity back, compared to modern irons including many MBs I hit a more penetrating ball flight with these. IMO for value sake you can't go wrong with a set of these older Titleist castings, durable as heck and perform as long as you hit the sweetspot consistently.

Excuse me as I troll ebay for another lightly used set!

[Froo Shon Tay]

Old old topic. But just picked up a set for $22. 3-PW, x/100, new grips, 1/2 inch longer, played two rounds yesterday with them. Holy smokes I forgot how good these feel. Compact head and the way it frames up the ball is perfect. Anybody in 2016 playing these?

[Mitchell]

Still using 962b set in starting line-up, see absolutely zero reason to change in foreseeable future.

[jmbean50]

Still playing the 962 with S300s. Got them used 10 yrs ago for $125. Had been thinking about getting fit for new irons, as I have never been fit for irons, but as I read this thread I'm having second thoughts...

[Badgergolfer2]

Funny, today I was at the local Golf Galaxy and they had a set of 962s on the used rack. 3-PW set with S300 shafts for $80. I havent gotten the chance to try them out yet but its nice to hear so much great feedback on them.

How do they compare to DCI 981s?

[Rbh32]

Still gaming mine.. since '98. Also went back with the PT 15* 3 wood (bought new in the mid 90's I think), so I'm basically regressing in club age, except for my putter and driver, which are still 6 and 10 years old respectively. Balls have to be new though, I can't go back to balatas....

[longballjs]

I did up until this year when I finally made the switch to a more forgiving club due to my drastically reduced amount of golf. Had them since 97 or 98. They will never leave my backup bag.

[apprenti23]

The 962B irons had one of the absolute smallest sweet spots of irons I've ever played. Loved the head shape, size, and grind but moved onto forged irons and have never looked back. I'd have to go back to playing 100 rounds a year if I wanted to play the 962B's again.

 

I find it extremely hard to believe that avid golfers still play these! Pretty much any iron made in the last five years is light years better- even the 716 mb's are going to be more forgiving!

[bladehunter]

nah... B heads are right there with any MB made.... Ive had experiences with irons like that where i thought the sweet spot was tiny.. usually turns out to be a lie angle issue etc where im just not catching them right .... B heads are longer hosel and therefore favor the hosel side though...But nobody playing them is hitting them on the toe so thats really not an issue... I could play my set in a second and be just as good as the 680 proto set im playing or any other MB i have.... Somebody somewhere is playing them at a high level ... how do i know that ? they are on the USGA conforming list....and they wouldnt have gotten there if someone hadnt sent them in and forced the USGA ( yes i know they test anything you send) to test their set and enough samples to put them on the list... Plenty of other sets around those years arent mentioned on the list as good or bad.... and individually tested sets dont make the list ( my protos are unstamped and passed, yet arent mentioned) ...i wonder who that player is ?? anyway point is they pass muster...

I gamed them from when I was like 15 until this past year, so... 17 years! I wasnt really playing that much, but when I started back up I picked up a set of Callaway x forged from 2009.

 

I loved the 962b's, still have them, was thinking of selling them but probably cant get much for them. have 2-pw

[golfgolf77]

Some nice feedback on these. Anyone want to unload a set? They must be good, they're not cheap at all on the Bay, other older Titleist models are CHEAP, not these...

[CapnSwagga]

962b's were my first set of clubs. I would hit buckets of balls until I could hit them straight. Life happens sold them unfortunately. I play TM today but fight myself constantly to rebuild my titleist bag

[Walter]

Picture anyone ? Would Nice to see them in your bags.

[Booker]

I use them in the winter months to hit balls in the garage. Great looking iron, they don't feel as good as my 680s, but still a very gameable iron. They're much smaller from Heel to toe than most mbs. I have 2-pw, got them heads only from mikes golf outlet a few years ago for under $100. I can take a few pics tonight of them, the triple grind sole is a winner.

Do the 962b's have the same shaft as your 680's? Not doubting your statement on 962b vs 680 on feel, but shafts can make a difference on feel, I believe. The 680's are a set of clubs I would like to have some day, I've had the 681[liked], 690mb[liked], and 670[didn't care for].
