The two sets have no club label in common.

What the differences mean

The sets are built differently: the Ft. Worth 15 runs 20-iron to 44-iron (7 clubs), the Ft. Worth Black 4-iron to PW (7 clubs).

Both are blade irons, built for low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently. Compact muscleback irons with minimal offset, thin toplines and the smallest sweet spot — built for shot-shaping over forgiveness. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.

Both heads are listed as forged. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.

The Ft. Worth Black arrived 3 years after the Ft. Worth 15, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.

Which should you choose?

The Ft. Worth 15 and Ft. Worth Black share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.
