The Titleist 680 Forged MBs are the irons that never left the bags of the best ball-strikers in the world, until they did. Not because they couldn’t keep up, but because the line sheets moved on. Their exit wasn’t a matter of performance, but packaging. Because the truth is: a proper set of blades never goes out of style. It’s not just analog energy for aesthetics’ sake, it signals a different value system. One that puts craft and feel above efficiency and distance.
Originally released in 2003, the 680s were made for players who wanted total control. For many, they remain the last true blade Titleist ever produced: minimal offset, a classic muscle-back silhouette and a razor-thin topline. It’s a set that rewards good technique with consistent feedback and performance in any conditions.
Each head is forged from a single billet of 1025 carbon steel and finished in a rich nickel chrome plating. Just enough shine to stand out in the bag, but never enough to distract.
More than two decades later, Titleist has quietly brought them back in limited quantities. Offered in 2-PW, 3-PW, or 4-PW configurations, priced between $1750 and $2250 USD. The lofts are traditionally spec’d, like the 48° pitching wedge that’s four to five degrees weaker than most modern sets. Because here, it’s not about power, but rather precision.
