Lofts differ on 1 of the 7 clubs the two sets share. A lower point is a stronger loft.

What the differences mean

At the 7-iron, the KM-700 is 33° and the TC-202 is 33°, 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 PW (46° vs 45°). The pitching wedges are 46° and 45°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.

The sets are built differently: the KM-700 runs 4-iron to PW (7 clubs), the TC-202 3-iron to GW (9 clubs).

Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. 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.

The KM-700 is listed as forged compact cavity with toe-cut sole grind and the TC-202 as forged tour cavity with T-Weight Bar and variable-depth cavity. 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 TC-202 came out 3 years after the KM-700, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.

Which should you choose?

The TC-202 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the KM-700 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
