What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the PTx Pro is 34° and the Fort Worth CB is 34°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 7 clubs both sets share, the differences roughly cancel out, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (22° vs 23°).
The PTx Pro is a players distance iron and the Fort Worth CB a players iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The PTx Pro is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The Fort Worth CB trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
The PTx Pro is listed as co-forged multi-material and the Fort Worth CB as forged cavity back, co-forged Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) core. The PTx Pro adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
There are 6 years between these sets (2019 and 2025), 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 Fort Worth CB is the weaker-lofted set — up to 1° weaker than the PTx Pro. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
