About this product
This is a Titleist 681 forged 8-iron, right-handed, with a Precision Rifle FCM 6.5 steel shaft measuring 38 inches. The club features a loft of 6.5 degrees, which is unusually low for an 8-iron, and is made in the United States. It is a single iron, not a set, and comes in a silver color.
Our take
When comparing this single 8-iron to a full set, the decision hinges on your needs. The Titleist 681 is a forged club, which typically offers better feel, but the 6.5 loft is extremely low for an 8-iron—most 8-irons have lofts around 35-40 degrees. This suggests it might be a custom or vintage club, possibly with a strong loft that could affect distance and trajectory. If you're a collector or need a specific replacement club, this could be a good find. But for a typical golfer, the odd loft and single-club format make it less practical than a matched set.
