Fantastic pictures, thanks. What a great looking line up.

One odd thing I've noticed is that while the cb 7 iron in these and previous photos has tungsten stamped on the toe, the 7 iron on the titleist website doesn't. Wonder which it'll be?

Am I the only one who thinks they really changed the looks at address compared to the 714? Don't like it...

Definitely a change. I for one am ecstatic. Hated the look of the last three models of Titleist irons. They're finally going back to what they do best.

[Lefty19]

I really like the T-MB and AP2 looks from address.....

I may have to hit these and see what the dealio is for a digger.....

Loving the CB and mb. Combo set might work.

Wow, talk about loft jacking. The AP! has a 43 degree PW. so you have to carry there "W" to have a traditional PW at 47 degree's. That is how you try to become the longest in the game. I thought TM was the only ones that did this stuff.

[ram01002]

Could just be my eyes but it sure looks like the top line of the CBs has been thinned significantly.

Those lofts are not really all that alarming as most GI or SGI when compared to other GI or SGI offerings from the other oem's are strong lofted and think a minute who these clubs are for ....those who struggle with distance and hitting shots on line ... yes they can be played by a 5 handicap but they are geared towards a higher handicap player who wants to improve or just does not fit into a players style iron

[Jsjones]

Man a t-mb/mb combo set could be in my future.

[fairwaysRoverated]

They can't possibly make the lofts any stronger than these, you think? I see where some poeple would like them, but for me it just throws the bag all off. That said I don't play the big irons anyway, I'd be more for the AP2 or CB's. The CB's are one of the best looking irons I've seen in a while. MB's are great looking to, but all I'll do with those guys is admire them. One day I'll make the switch to Titliest. I have a bag all ready to go, just need the clubs.

[GC70]

Thanks for the great pictures!

[crazyray]

Just e-mailed my Titleist rep, and ordered 4-PW AP2, and 3i & 4i T-MB

Looking forward to giving them a shootout with the new Apex Pros when they get released

[ob1soccer]

look sweet as usual

Aaaaaaah, ya lucky bas****! Seriously though. Enjoy.

[mason82]

Well I should have waited to try the CBs before buying the MP 25s. At least I have 90 days to decide.

[Puppetmaster]

Excellent comparison pictures, thanks for putting all that effort into those.

 

I'm guessing this was supposed to be the MB on the right though?

 

 

Anyway, they all look great to me. Nice fresh take on the MB and CB, with a nifty pre-worn leading edge grind. And to someone else's point earlier, looks like they've thinned out that topline on the CBs. I feel like even the MBs look thinner, if that was even possible. The T-MB look nice too, and if they offer more forgiveness than the 712U, could be a hit as far as players' utility irons go or even the full set.

 

With the DG AMT as a shaft option, this is a solid line.

[Puppetmaster]

Also, it's very nice that Titleist has included more tables for specs comparison on the site. I particularly like the offset chart.

I play the 2013 mizuno jpx 800hd irons which have a PW at 44* & the GW comes at 47*. So I agree Titleist aren't the only ones "lofting up". Love my irons, but I can see the ap line giving them a run for there money.

[jay65]

For me, I don't see any issue whatsoever with the lofts of the AP1's. 5-W (7 clubs, 25*-47*) in the AP1's is almost exactly the same as 4-PW (7 Clubs, 24*-47*) in AP2/CB/MB in terms of lofts, so I can't understand where the descension is coming from personally.

A 43 degree pitching wedge? So I need five wedges now? I'm done with Titleist.

No, you just need 14 clubs to hit them the distances you want. No more complicated than that. Or, if what it says on the bottom of a club bothers you, you could go buy a sharpie and put what you want on the bottom if that suits your mindset better?

[jokerusn]

Good looking irons. I love how the DG AMT is standard on the T-MB, AP2 and CB. Titleist's site only has the T-MB in 2i-5i. Is the 6i-PW going to be offered as MOTO or will it come later?

[t4t3r]

I think the CB will be the winner this year with improved forgiveness along with the looks, kind of a "best of" version of the AP2.

[Steelhead]

Just ordered the AP1 with KK graphite...always liked the AP1s and hope these are up to the task of competing with my XR pros and GMax for the varsity spot in my bag...

I tend to agree. I was pretty damning of the original pre release pics, I admit that, and never that fond of any of the Titleist CB iterations, but I'm with you, for some reason, the CB's on this occasion, are the standouts.

How much more forgiving ? Plenty of mid-handicappers play the AP2's...What is the lowest handicap range that the CB is targeting ?

[gioguy21]

i'd be all about a set of MB's, with a T-MB 3i...just gorgeous.
