What about the shafts? Do they typically hold markings that indicate authenticity?
Yes, check the shafts! Authentic Titleist clubs have their model details clearly marked. If it’s a sticker or looks poorly done, steer clear.
That’s solid advice! Makes you wonder how many fakes are out there.

You’d be shocked! But with careful inspection, you can definitely find the real deal. Just stay vigilant and trust your instincts!
I believe the Titleist 690 MB irons were produced around 2001. They have a reputation for being really solid clubs.
That sounds right! I’ve been using them for years. The feel on impact is incredible, much better than some modern clubs I’ve tried.
The 690 MBs definitely offer a distinctive feel. If compared to newer models, I’d say they have a more traditional weight and balance. Definitely a player’s club.
Exactly! I’ve noticed that they reward good shots beautifully. But how do they hold up against the newer Titleist models in terms of playability?
In my experience, the newer models like the 760s have more forgiveness, but the 690 MBs provide unmatched control if you’re consistent with your swing.
So true! I find that I can shape shots better with them as opposed to newer models. It’s all about preference, really.
I’ve been golfing for a long time and the 690 MBs are among my favorites. They really bring a sense of connection to the ball.
I hear you! They make every good shot feel so rewarding—like you’re playing golf the ‘right’ way.
But, are they really that much better than modern options? Just wondering if they’re worth the price if someone is looking to buy them used.
That’s a fair question! For some, the nostalgia might be worth it. But if you’re looking for tech advancements, newer models often win.
