What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Forged 704.CB is 35° and the 695.CB is 34°, a 1° 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 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the Forged 704.CB. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the 695.CB averages 1.5° stronger, with the largest gap at the 2-iron (19.5° vs 17°). The pitching wedges are 47° and 46°; the stronger one leaves a 4° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the Forged 704.CB runs 2-iron to W (10 clubs), the 695.CB 2-iron to PW (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 Forged 704.CB is listed as forged cavity back and the 695.CB 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.
The 695.CB came out 2 years after the Forged 704.CB, 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 695.CB is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2.5° stronger than the Forged 704.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.
