The CB look great.  The MB, it's fine.  Kind of New Level or Sub70 vibes.  Not that it's a bad thing.  But, I think there are cleaner looking MB's out there.

Waiting for TXG's video and may order come CBs.  Really nice you can order individual clubs.

Holy offset Batman

[Lemonde]

There appears to be a lot of offset per the pics posted.  Perhaps Mr Knudson can let us know his thoughts on this. Those CB’s look great.  

[animalgolfs]

Actually looks pretty good - hopefully heel to toe length is as short as it looks 

 

Thicker top line & touch of offset frames the ball nicely IMO

They look good, not sure what the actually technological benefits would be other than they look good? Nothing wrong with that, just feels like it is already a pretty crowded market at the moment. Is the hosel shorter or standard length?

Seeing the ceramic in the muscle reminded me of the Proto Concept C01s.

Definitely a little offset in both irons, but nothing too crazy to my eye. Here are the Bettinardi irons on a different background that might show the offset better.

Can anyone find out where they are forged?

 

 

[Lemonde]

Thank you sir!  Definitely looks like more offset in the CB vs the 150’s. Blueprints look more offset than the 150’s but less so than the MB or CB.  Can’t wait to hear your review of these! 

[Lemonde]

Are these 4 to PW in both or does one of them come with a GW? 

[arhhhhjay]

These look nice!

[Cirta69]

There is something about that sole that doesn't look right. Also, the bottom face has a pronounced radius. It will interesting to see how much it digs. Would have been nice to have a relief on the leading edge, for such a high-priced iron.

[vman]

CB’s remind me visually of the Apex CF19’s at address…..nice looking irons.

Any idea of the cost and how are the lofts . thanks if anyone knows .

I don’t like the top line at all..

The T150 wins in clean looks..

[Tugu]

The sad thing is in an magazine article, Bettinardi specifically mentioned getting the offset right. I'll admit to vomiting a smidge in my mouth when I saw how the CB's looked at address. 

 

So sad because the CB's are right up my boy's alley. 

 

T-150's look money at address.

I read Taiwan. Same place that made TM irons.

To me they look really nice. The offset is just right and should be praised. Glad they did not fall for the no offset foolishness, (which is mostly a wrx craze). Looking at the irons pictured above, the T150 looks as bad as an iron can look IMO. I cannot stand the flat, unframed look of a low offset head. When I hit it, I hated it. A little offset on an MB helps get the ball in the air. To me the benefits of appropriate offset far outweigh the negatives, which are none (the Myth of Hooking is not a true negative.)  Across these threads the Srixon 745 and Bridgestone J15CBs are much beloved — and they’ve got some offset! These look very similar. 
 

The tech in these Bettinardis is all you need. Tungsten co-forged into the toes. Another poster mentioned Proto Concept using a ceramic pocket and those are Endo forged, expensive irons. These definitely remind me of an og TM 770 or a RAC LT in some ways, but nothing wrong with that. I’ll be interested in seeing some reviews.

Cavity backs look meh. Blades look good. Sole design is a bit funky on both models. Forged in Japan?
