What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Forged 735.CM is 35° and the 695.MB is 36°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Forged 735.CM should carry roughly 3 to 4 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 0.6° weaker, with the largest gap at the 6-iron (31° vs 32°). The pitching wedges are 47° and 48°; the stronger one leaves a 3° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The Forged 735.CM is a players iron and the 695.MB a blade iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The Forged 735.CM 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 Forged 735.CM is listed as forged, progressive cavity-to-muscle back blend and the 695.MB as forged muscleback. 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.MB came out 1 year after the Forged 735.CM, 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.MB is the weaker-lofted set — up to 1° weaker than the Forged 735.CM. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
