Lofts compared

716 T-MB
718 T-MB

Lofts match on every club the two sets share, so the markers sit on top of each other.

What the differences mean

Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 33° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show. Lie angles and lengths match as well, so any fitting adjustment made to one set would carry straight over to the other.

The sets are built differently: the 716 T-MB runs 2-iron to PW (9 clubs), the 718 T-MB 2-iron to W (10 clubs).

Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Forged or multi-material heads that keep a compact look while adding face technology and stronger lofts for distance. 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.

Both heads are listed as hollow body with a thin high-strength steel face insert. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.

The 718 T-MB arrived 2 years after the 716 T-MB, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.

Which should you choose?

The 716 T-MB and 718 T-MB share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Titleist 716 T-MB stronger lofted than the 718 T-MB?

No. Both have a 33° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.

What is the loft difference between the Titleist 716 T-MB and 718 T-MB?

There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 33° 7-iron.

Are the Titleist 716 T-MB and 718 T-MB aimed at the same golfer?

Yes. Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.

Do the Titleist 716 T-MB and 718 T-MB have the same lie and length?

At the 7-iron, yes: both are 63° lie and 37 inches long.
