Forged heads give good feel, but most importantly very solid contact. The increased density compared to cast head gives increased distance. I got mine with Precision Rifle Flighted 6.0 which are great. I was using S300 stiff flex and the 6.0 is just slightly less stiff and combined with flighted flex it is easier to get the ball up - especially long irons. I swing much easier now, good thing since I am not young anymore, and am getting 10 yards extra per club. i am also hitting very straight shots. The heads are large and very forgiving. Off center hits still go ok. There is a very healthy offset. This is great on 3-6 irons. But I sure wish the offset was less on the 8-W, especially the wedge. Have to change the swing to get that "pinch" contact. This is why I could not rate them 5/5. Overall, happy with them, love the longer distance, easier swing, awesome shafts, and glad I opted for easier to hit clubs vs. more demanding shot shaping clubs. Who shapes shots anyway besides pros? I'll take straight anyday.Read full review
I hadn't bought new irons for over 12 years because I was satisfied with my old ones. Recently retired and wanting to do a lot more golfing, I decided to look for something more up-to-date. I bought these Titleists because they were priced right, were forged, were being played by some professionals, and were aimed at players of all skill levels. I don't keep a handicap, but if I did, I'd be about a 12-14. Since buying these, I've purchased two additional sets of irons for comparison and the fun of change. These Titleists are as long, if not longer, than the other brand-name sets despite the high ball flight that I get with them. The feel of the forgings is excellent and they seem to be as forgiving as the others. I believe that the OS label means that they're oversized, so they shouldn't be very effective at shaping shots. However, as I mentioned earlier; some professionals are using them so they must be capable of doing it. I don't shape many shots, but I can do it in my own small way with these irons. I've measured them with my imperfect tape measure and they appear to be the exact same size as my other 'mid-size' irons so what does 'oversize' mean? I bought my set brand new on ebay at a significantly-reduced price and am very satisfied. They're worth an in-person look at your local golf shop before you buy new irons.Read full review
If you like a good amount offset and need help hitting the ball higher the 804 os is great. If you do not,go with the 704 cb.

The 804's are most definately the best feeling set of irons I've hit, and over the years I've had many sets, mostly the game improvement type of clubs. Although these are referred to as blades, they aren't actually blades. I would say they are the bridge between the cavity backs and blades. They are forgiving up to a point. A good strike is a marvelous feeling. For me ( 10 hdcp) I find that I get better results with a more downward blow that with a sweeping one. Don't know why that is,but it just feels very much more solid in the the 4, 5 6 irons. The short irons are incredible. Solid, like the ball gets squished. Lower hdcps would probably like these clubs also. They are workable. Higher hdcps , 18 or higher might be unhappy with them. There is some forgiveness, but when you get beyond that point, they miss like a true blade.Read full review
I believe without doubt that Titleist makes the best no gimmick clubs period. Forged clubs outplay cast clubs anyday, simply by adding more spin which is the greatest plus around the green. Other club manufactures all tell you this and that about their latest model clubs only to find that next years are even better and that is a load of crap in my opinion. Titleist doesn't do that because they make a great product and stick with exactly that. I love the 804's because of their weight and feel. If you want value for your money... buy Titleist.
