Titleist DCI 990 Review:
| Accuracy |   Less-Avg-More |
|
| The minimal offset makes these irons easy to set up sqaure to the ball. Good swings result in very consistent and accurate results. Mis-hits are penalized more in distance than direction. | ||
|
||
| Distance | Short-Avg-Long |
|
Better
than average. These irons are 1/2 club
longer than current set (Ping Eye2+)
on ball hit flush. Off-center hits result
in 1 club shorter shots. Very consistent
distances.
|

|
||
| Trajectory | Low-Avg-High |
|
| Not too high but not too low. A nice boring ball flight. | ||
|
||
| Feel |
|
|
In one word, SOLID. These irons provide excellent feedback on off center hits. Progressive weight cavity makes these irons feel like muscle back blades. |
||
|
||
| Forgiveness | Less-Avg-More |
|
Not very forgiving on off center hits. Slightly more forgiving than the DCI 962. |
||
|
||
| Looks | ||
| Very traditional with clean lines; 431 stainless steel; arguably the best looking model in the DCI family; thin topline, minimal offset, and "v" grooves; classy, tasteful graphics with "Titleist" script, small DCI logo and "990" in the cavity; minimal cavity near the sole of the club. | ||
