  1. Hi all, I tried the 620 CB and couldn't believe how soft it was compared to my current gamer, the Wilson Staff CB. Looking online about the clubs, I read a few people stating that there is more forgiveness with the T100 but I am curious to know how much of a difference is it. How do they feel in comparison to the 620 CB?

    thanks

  2. It is a difference to the positive side which is why so many tour pros have changed to the T100 from CB or MB....however at this skill level the difference is in the eye of the beholder IMHO
  3. So if the tour pros don't use the 620 CB as much as the T100 then there is very little point an average golfer using them then? I don't have experience with the T100 so I don't know how soft they feel in comparison to the 620 CBs.

    I found with my swing, I got better turf interaction with the CB's than with the T100's. But off the face I learned that the 100's fly more but still have enough spin to stop quick enough, which with my old irons was not the case. One thing about the 100's that I wasn't ecstatic about was, I couldn't flight the ball as well. That could be a swing mechanic but I was flighting shots more consistent with the CB's

    As someone who has had both the 620 CB and the T100(s) in this case, both are really forgiving. The Tseries line of irons has more tech and "stuff" in the iron to help with ease of launch, dispersion, feel, sound, mishits and overall forgiveness. Yes, pros still play the CB but their swing is more consistent over and over that they don't need that much help with the tech side of the iron.

    With that being said, I loved both my CB and T100. The T100 I am hitting the same height as the CB but overall picked up about a half club more distance.

    The sole on the CB is thinner which is something I like as I want the club in and out of the turf quickly. I am looking at new irons in 2025 and looking perhaps to go back to CB but I will allow the fitting process to decide what is best for me.

    As Chris mentioned it is about allow you to play your best.

    I know this will not help tremendously but i play AP2 718s but have 1 690CB in the bag (long story there). When I go to hit the 690 I really have to focus b/c it is not forgiving, for me, at all. If I do not hit center face it's far from the desired result. A lot of technology has improved since both irons so I can't speak to the current lineup.

    Realistically, you'd have to be a ridiculous striker of the golf ball to give an accurate answer to this question. Sorry, but only Tour players need apply. Different blends of metals comprise these irons as the forging process is hardly true forging anymore. They're all very soft, and there's nothing like the sweet spot on a true blade. Truth be told, Tour players switched to the T100 for workability ease, not feel. I'm a decent ball striker, hard for me to hit a "slight" draw with the MB's, it's technically a slight hook. With the 100's, it's a little easier to control. Precision is the key, which is why many Tour guys have a blended set.
  8. I have played both irons. I personally experienced less consistency with the T-100 than I do currently with the 620 CB. Looking to go with MB’s 8-PW. Love the classic look. I had some and sold them. Been regretting it ever since.

    Over the past 2 years, I've gone into golf shops and hit the T100 at least a dozen times... Every single time I've hit the 620 MB longer and straighter, without question. It's why I've just realized my 12 year old 712s are fine, and spending $1400 on new irons is a waste of money when it won't significantly lower my score compared to irons I paid $250 for.

    The CB/MB blades are solid forged heads. There is only so much improvement that can be tweaked into the design. Hence the current products are from late 2019. If there was room for design growth - and a growing market, Titleist would upgrade them with the T-series irons.
    The T-100 are multi-piece forged irons with tungsten weighting to improve forgiveness and optimize the moi. As to feel versus performance, there are individuals that prefer the fully forged products. When the AP lines came out in 2008, the common mindset was to start with AP-1, progress to AP-2, then move onto fully forged products. With pros now mixing in T100-T150 irons with T200 driving irons, the best club to play is the one that checks performance for your game as well as feel. Not aspiring to forged clubs is the new reality.
    Play your best with what club allows you to do that. You should be able to demo a T100 (or T150) at large retailer to compare feel your 620 CB. Also be sure to use your own gamer ball. I’m used to seeing 3 or more different balls in a hitting bay.
  11. I have played both. I like the feel of the cbs much better. Did not see much difference in overall performance. Everyone says the t100s are more forgiving, but that was not the case for me.
