About the Callaway X Forged CB (2021)
The 2021 X Forged CB is Callaway's tour cavity back, announced on 13 October 2020 alongside the Apex MB and X Forged UT and at retail from 29 October 2020, which is why it is catalogued to 2020 here despite the 2021 model name. Unlike the typical one-piece forging in this category, it pairs a forged 1025 mild carbon steel body with custom internal and external MIM'd tungsten weights that centre the CG behind the face, and a Tour Tuned face plate. Lofts are traditional — a 33 degree 7-iron and a 45 degree pitching wedge with a 49 degree A-wedge. Specs below are the standard men's steel-shaft numbers.
Stock shafts
- Project X IO — steel
- Mitsubishi MMT — graphite

Finding a used set
The Callaway X Forged CB (2021) ran from 2020 to 2023 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.

- Plugged In Golf 'Callaway Announces New X Forged CB and Apex MB Irons' (14 October 2020) — announcement timing, 29 October 2020 retail date, multi-material construction and Tour Tuned face plate. year_introduced records the 2020 announcement year per this database's convention; the model was sold as the 2021 line.
- Note on offset: the sources publish offset in millimetres (3.43 mm at the 3-iron down to 2.03 mm at the A-wedge), converted to inches here. Bounce was not published and is omitted.
- Note on year_discontinued: recorded as 2023, the year Callaway announced the Apex CB of the 2024 line, which took over the tour cavity back slot; no later X Forged CB followed. That model's named predecessor is the Apex TCB, so no direct successor is recorded here.
