Here are in-hand photos of Titleist’s new CB Forged 716 irons, which we spotted on the the range at the Quicken Loans National on Tuesday. Titleist is mum on details, but the photos show that the long irons (4-7) have a tungsten weight in the toe to improve forgiveness.

I don’t see anything wrong with the “Tungsten” engraving on the toe (it’s a selling point). In fact I like the square toe look of these heads.

Can they make it busier? Need more words, like the loft number. I need more engravings

Agree these are best looking so far of the 716 models. Interesting to see what the specs are (loft, length).

It looks like some of the design queues from the Callaway Legacy towards the toe. Overall they look good.

I would love to see this up against the new Hogans to see which clubs play more forgiving.

Now this is interesting that short irons don’t have the Tungsten weights. And so those also look more appealing to the eye

The Tungsten and CB writing look super tacky

Does anyone else look at these and see 990Bs? They look a lot like them. Now if they brought back some forged 962Bs I’d rethink my upcoming set of MP5s.

I think the new AP2s look better. I prefer the look of my 710cbs over both. I could sure use a bit more forgiveness…

I like the look. Classy yet suggests increased forgiveness vs the 714 CB.

Get rid of “tungsten”, “forged” and “CB” and it’s perfect!!

  Even the new PING irons have Tungsten but PING realized they should remove the word from the clubbed. Good.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

Will Schube

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
Mizuno MP-32
Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
Bridgestone J33cb – still own
