Titleist revives 680 MB irons with a limited custom release
Titleist has brought back its forged 680 MB irons for a limited time, clubs that Adam Scott, Webb Simpson and other stars loved for years.
Gear: Titleist Forged 680 MB irons
Price: Starting at $250 per club with steel shafts
Specs: Forged 1025 carbon steel with pre-worn leading edge, moderate camber, strong bounce and classic nickel chrome finish.
Who It's For: Golfers who want a traditional blade with precise shot shaping and timeless feel.
What You Should Know: Titleist has brought back the original 680 MB irons in a special limited run—unchanged from their 2003 design—for players seeking a pure, classic blade with a soft forged feel and traditional lofts.
The Deep Dive: If you've ever admired the buttery feel and clean lines of a classic blade, this may be the rare moment you've been waiting for. Titleist has re-released its iconic 680 MB forged irons for a limited time, offering custom-order availability through in 2-PW, 3-PW or 4-PW sets (right-handed only).
Originally released in 2003, the 680 MBs were a staple among better players seeking shot-making control and old-school, no-frills confidence at address. Their following with Tour players was extensive in their time, and Adam Scott continued to play them for years. Webb Simpson still carries 680 MBs in the bag as his 5-iron through 9-iron.
The loyalty was really driven by the feel and looks. Compared to the current 620 MBs, the 680 MB irons feature a shorter blade length, slightly more offset and a higher toe profile. They also have weaker lofts throughout the set. For instance, the 7-iron's loft is 36 degrees, which is significantly weaker than the 34 degrees designed into the 620 MB.
Each head is forged from a single billet of 1025 mild carbon steel and finished in a high-gloss nickel chrome, giving the clubs a premium, timeless look. The soles have a pre-worn leading edge, strong bounce angle and moderate camber, helping skilled players manage turf interaction on tight lies or firm conditions.
This isn't a redesign—it's a revival. The specs, shaping and feel are all exactly what made the 680 MBs cult favorites to begin with. And while modern muscle backs might add slight forgiveness or tweak the center of gravity positioning, these irons remain unapologetically pure.
