What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the DCI 762 is 34° and the DCI 762B 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 DCI 762 should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the DCI 762B. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the DCI 762B averages 1.4° weaker, with the largest gap at the 6-iron (30° vs 32°). 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 sets are built differently: the DCI 762 runs 1-iron to W (11 clubs), the DCI 762B 2-iron to PW (9 clubs).
The DCI 762 is a game improvement iron and the DCI 762B a blade iron, so they sit 3 steps apart on the forgiveness scale. The DCI 762 is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The DCI 762B 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 DCI 762 is listed as investment cast, dual cavity and the DCI 762B as investment cast, reduced-offset muscle cavity. The DCI 762B's muscle-back shape keeps mass directly behind the strike for feedback and control, where a cavity spreads it to the perimeter for forgiveness.
The DCI 762B came out 1 year after the DCI 762, 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 DCI 762B is the weaker-lofted set — up to 2° weaker than the DCI 762. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Titleist DCI 762 stronger lofted than the DCI 762B?
Yes. The Titleist DCI 762 7-iron is 34° against 36° for the DCI 762B, 2° stronger, which is worth roughly 6 to 8 yards of extra carry with the same swing.
What is the loft difference between the Titleist DCI 762 and DCI 762B?
At the 7-iron the difference is 2° (34° vs 36°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2° at the 6-iron, and 8 of the 9 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the Titleist DCI 762 or the DCI 762B?
The Titleist DCI 762. As a game improvement iron it is the more forgiving design, suited to roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The DCI 762B is a blade iron, better suited to low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently.
Do the Titleist DCI 762 and DCI 762B have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 63° lie and 37 inches long.
