What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 35° 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.
The sets are built differently: the Staff FG Tour M3 runs 4-iron to GW (8 clubs), the Staff FG Tour 100 3-iron to GW (9 clubs).
The Staff FG Tour M3 is a players iron and the Staff FG Tour 100 a blade iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The Staff FG Tour M3 is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. The Staff FG Tour 100 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.
Both heads are listed 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 Staff FG Tour 100 came out 1 year after the Staff FG Tour M3, 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 Staff FG Tour M3 and Staff FG Tour 100 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.
