What the differences mean
The sets are built differently: the Ft. Worth 15 runs 20-iron to 44-iron (7 clubs), the ICON 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.
There are 5 years between these sets (2015 and 2020), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently.
Which should you choose?
The Ft. Worth 15 and ICON share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.
