What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Staff FG Tour V6 is 35° and the Staff Model 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 Staff Model CB should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the Staff FG Tour V6. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the Staff Model CB averages 1° stronger, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (21° vs 20°). 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 Staff FG Tour V6 runs 3-iron to GW (9 clubs), the Staff Model CB 2-iron to GW (10 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.
Both heads are listed as forged. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.
There are 4 years between these sets (2016 and 2020), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 35° to 34°.
Which should you choose?
The Staff Model CB is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the Staff FG Tour V6 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
