FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Aug. 6, 2019) – For the purists and the shotmakers, the new Titleist 620 CB and MB irons carry on Titleist’s legacy of delivering tour-proven shot control and unmatched feel in precise cavity back and muscle back forgings.
Available for fittings beginning Aug. 8 (and in golf shops Aug. 30), 620 CB and MB have been refined based on tour player feedback with improved shaping and even smoother turf interaction.
The new 620 CB and MB designs feature progressive blade lengths, with compact short irons progressing into slightly larger blade lengths at the long end of the set. The profiles of 620 CB and MB have also been matched to make for seamless transitions for the growing number of players with mixed CB and MB sets.
“The ‘600’ designation is a nod back to our original 600 series of forged blades from the early- to mid-2000’s,” said Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing. “These designs are an important part of our company’s heritage, as they proved that Titleist knew how to make the best irons for the best ball strikers in the world.”
Beginning Aug. 8, golfers can experience the performance of new 620 irons by attending a Titleist Fitting and Trial event (including Titleist Thursdays), being held at hundreds of locations nationwide. To find an event, or book a free iron fitting with a Titleist Product Specialist, golfers can visit https://www.titleist.com/fitting/appointments.
620 CB provides playability and precision – plus a boost in long iron performance – in a classic player’s shape and feel.
- Progressive blade lengths with thinner top lines offer player-preferred shaping from long to short irons.
- Co-forged high-density tungsten in the 3- and 4-irons maximizes ball speed and forgiveness for more consistent long iron performance.
“Our ability to use co-forged high-density tungsten in such a compact blade size like 620 CB is extremely powerful, especially at the long end of the set where players need the most help with launch and forgiveness,” said Marni Ines, Director, Titleist Irons Development. “We’ve seen many MB players gravitate toward mixed sets particularly because that combination of performance and workability in the CB 3- and 4- irons is so compelling. At the same time, with mixed sets becoming so common, we matched the profiles and blade lengths of 620 CB and MB so that players can start blending at any point in the set without making any sacrifices.”
620 MB is a modern muscle back designed for precision shotmaking – with the look and feel demanded by the golfing purist.
“The performance of Titleist MB’s is so tried and true that when we ask players for feedback, many of them just want to talk about the aesthetics,” Talge said. “One request we started to hear over and over from both pros and amateurs was to make MB as clean as possible. Really the only way to do that was to remove any ‘MB’ graphic, leaving only the Titleist script on the back of the club head. MB players know what an MB is, so that’s what we did. It’s a simply stunning result.”
Following their tour debut at the U.S. Open, 620 CB and MB irons have already become two of the most played models on the PGA Tour. Webb Simpson (MB), Jimmy Walker (MB), Charles Howell III (CB), Patton Kizzire (CB/MB), Byeong-Hun An (CB/MB), Max Homa (MB) and Lucas Bjerregaard (CB) are among the growing number of players who have put 620 CB and/or MB irons immediately in play.
In addition, Titleist offers an industry-leading number of custom shaft choices, many at no upcharge.
New Titleist 620 irons will be available in golf shops worldwide beginning Aug. 30, with fittings beginning Aug. 8.
