What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 695.CB is 34° and the Forged 775.CB is 33°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Forged 775.CB should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 695.CB. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the Forged 775.CB averages 0.6° stronger, with the largest gap at the 6-iron (30° vs 29°). 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 695.CB runs 2-iron to PW (9 clubs), the Forged 775.CB 3-iron to W (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 695.CB is listed as forged and the Forged 775.CB as forged, blended channel back to cavity back. 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.
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 Forged 775.CB is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the 695.CB on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
