I have read this entire thread but didn't see anybody that went into detail (may have missed it) about the 639CB vs 699pro. I am currently demoing the 639CB and I love the looks, feel and feedback it gives but I am probably a shade or two short on the talent required to play them (if interested see thread here ). I have read the website copy and I know that the feel will likely differ significantly going from a forged player's cavity back to an injected, hollow body milled iron but I am trying to move beyond "feel" since that is subjective. BUT, I would like to be able to feel where I missed on the clubface on mishits. That is an issue I have on my Cobra F9s and was wondering if people who have hit both 639CB and 699pro can comment on the differences in feedback on the two as well as maybe spin and ballspeed. Thanks in advance!

I have the 4 utility and the 5 639… there is definitely less feedback from the 699, but you can still feel the impact. They are solid clubs… im a 7 handicap and a decent ball striker and I’d happily play them but I don’t want the distance gains.

I'm hoping someone with experience of both will see your post and chime in.  I haven't played either, so I'm no help there.  I will say all the hollow bodied irons I've hit, including 2 models I've owned, gave less feedback than muscle backs or small, one piece cavity backs.  I am currently playing the original PXG 0211 irons and can tell by feel and sound when I mishit it, but I can only tell where on the face I hit it if it was a HUGE mishit.  Another factor is the shaft.  Graphite and shafts with dampening inserts will give less feedback.  I have an ancient set of Wilson blades that I put prosoft inserts into.  I used to be able to pinpoint the mishits with those.  With the softening inserts I only get a general idea.

So question to everyone (maybe someone has hit both), and @GolfSub70. I game the 939X hybrid. Is it worth it to upgrade to the 949X? Is the face really much hotter? Does the sole really help the turf interaction(looks really nice in the pictures)?

It's a bigger number, so of course it is better /s  

 

(honestly no idea, but I'm looking at it for a 4H.  I'm torn between a 4H, 4U or a 4i.  I need something that gets a bit higher in the air, so I'm leaning hybrid, but I don't know.)

You should check out the TXG youtube video on long iron vs hybrid vs fairway wood for flight, spin, etc. It was eye opening to me and the results should have been fairly obvious (iron flights lowest, hybrid mid, fwy wood highest) but the spin was interesting because the irons not only fly low they also have less spin and less steep decent angle so harder to hold greens. I also find that, off a tee, a 4 hybrid is straighter than a 4 iron most of the time.

At my skill level, I don't realistically have any hope of holding a green from 220+ all I'm looking for is nGIR (obviously, it makes sense to have the best tool to hold the green).  

I tend to hit pretty high in general, but it looks like my 5i has a descent angle around 35-38*  That isn't giving me a great chance to hold a certain distance as it tends to run quite a bit after landing.  So I think perhaps a 4H is the best option for me (and probably to replace my 3U with a 3H as well).  The upper end of the bag is a challenge for me to find the right clubs.

Feels soooo god to be able to swing clubs again. 

I currently have 2 sets of demos. 699 and the 699 pros. 
I really like the 699’s. Smooth same distance as my current XHot Callaways, but have a better feel and the ball flight is the same. To me easier to work a draw but it takes me a bit to hit a fade with them which I am fine with. 
 

I haven’t hit the Pros yet but will either tonight or tomorrow. 
 

i think my biggest problem is going to be figuring out the top end of the bag. I won’t have anything from a 4 iron to my driver. The reason I’m in the market for clubs is my bag took a dive and I had 4 of the clubs break. Driver, 1 iron , 4 & 7 irons. a phone call will be made to get suggestions soon.

 Check out my review on the hybrid that I just posted. I was in the same boat it is filling that gap perfectly!

Yeah, I went 286 54 and low bounce jb 58… it’s a solid combination that gets things done around the green for me…

I shot a 75 with 11 GIR and 4 bogeys… the wedges gave me makeable par putts all day long.

Being that you were a bit skeptical of performance across wedge brands (I think that was your thread), do you think the Sub70s are that much better than the other stuff you tried? I've been eying the JB wedges and am thinking a set of raw ones might be my next wedge purchase.

Had a bunch of back and forth with Dan regarding shaft selection.

I have a very high ball flight with my DG S300s and was looking for a way to drive that down some.  Problem is the S300s are low flight already.

After some conversation I may try C-Taper Xs soft stepped when I finally jump in.

Is actually high or perceived high? What’s your launch angle, spin, apex, land angle?
