Who are the 716 CB irons for in golf?
Who they’re for: The 716 CB irons are a great choice for golfers who think the 716 AP2 irons are too bulky at address, as well as those looking for more forgiveness than one-piece cavity-back and muscleback irons can provide.

Can a 716 MB be used in a mixed set?
The 716 MB irons are a testament to that. Both the 716 MB and 716 CB irons are designed to be used in mixed sets. For that reason, they use the same stock lofts. For true purists, the 716 CB is available in a 2 iron (18 degrees). See what GolfWRX Members are saying about the 716 AP1, AP2, T-MB, CB and MB irons in our forum.
