Titleist’s new 620 CB and 620 MB irons aren’t for everyone—they are made for golfers who want to shape shots, and hit precise distances. If you’re a golfer who is looking for more distance or help when you don’t catch the center of the clubface, these aren’t for you. But you probably already recognized that. By boosting the performance and playability of the long irons in the sets, and enhancing workability, Titleist has opened the CB and MB up to a slightly wider audience, one that demands the feel and sound that comes from forged irons.
Here’s what you need to know about the new lineup.
Classic look
Not much offset, all in a small package—that’s what you get with the CB and MB irons from the line. The MB, as the acronym suggests, is a classic muscleback, while the CB is a slight cavity back iron. Not shockingly, many of the best on the PGA Tour are playing these irons—from Webb Simpson (MB) to Charles Howell III (CB).
Modern
Both the CB and MB offered a modern take on these traditional looks. Both are forged and offer a great feel and sound at impact, with very little offset to speak of. The MB aesthetic is minimal—just slight branding, which results in a very clean look.
Progressive blade lengths
Thin toplines—exactly as you’d expect— and progressive blade lengths throughout both sets make these clubs easy on the eye, and make the long irons easier to hit.
Matched sole
Interested in playing the MBs in your short irons and CBs in the longer irons? Titleist created a matched profile that makes the sets basically interchangeable in terms of aesthetics. From the topline, you won’t know where one ends and the next iron starts.
Who are they for?
With the ability to mix and match the CB and MB irons, these are a player’s clubs designed specifically for low-handicappers and the best in the world. If you’ve been seeking a near-blade that offers a small package on the short irons, and some added technology with the longer irons, 620 CB/MB could be just what you’re looking for. Modern classic—that’s what these irons aspire to.
