What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 695.CB is 34° and the 695.MB is 36°, a 2° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the 695.CB should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 695.MB. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the 695.MB averages 2° weaker, with the largest gap at the 2-iron (17° vs 19°). The pitching wedges are 46° and 48°; the stronger one leaves a 4° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The 695.CB is a players iron and the 695.MB a blade iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The 695.CB is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. The 695.MB trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently.
The 695.CB is listed as forged and the 695.MB as forged muscleback. The 695.MB's muscle-back shape keeps mass directly behind the strike for feedback and control, where a cavity spreads it to the perimeter for forgiveness.
Both sets were introduced in 2006, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Titleist designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The 695.MB is the weaker-lofted set — up to 2° weaker than the 695.CB. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
