Titleist alternate the years they bring out new drivers and irons and 2016 is the year of new Titleist irons. There will be the AP1, AP2, CB, MB and T-MB.
Titleist 716 AP1
The stainless steel Titleist AP1 716 
has a thinner face which makes it more flexible than its
predecessor, which leads to more ball speed, a higher launch and likely more carry distance. The 3- through 7-irons have 50 percent more tungsten in the low toe than the previous AP1 (42 grams per club versus 28). This will boost the MOI by 4 percent and lowers the center of gravity, letting Titleist strengthen lofts by one degree without flattening launch. Plus, more sole camber should prevent digging for mid-handicappers who need help through impact. $900, steel; $1,100 graphite.
Titleist 716 AP2
three through seven irons have 25 percent more tungsten in the heel and toe than the 714 model (56 grams per club), which concentrates mass low and toward the
perimeter. And because the AP2 716’s blade length is identical to the AP2 714’s, the result it has an 8.5 percent higher MOI.
The 3- through 5-irons have a slightly lower center of gravity that’s positioned closer to where you typically strike the ball, which helps increase speed. And by design, this model has similar launch and spin characteristics to the AP2 714. They will sell for $1,200, steel;
$1,400, graphite.
Titleist 716 MB
The Titleist 716 T-MB is a blade like look and comes with the True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT shafts, but the stainless-steel body is packed with a
high-strength steel face reinforced with tungsten weights in the heel and toe. This distribution of mass contributes to a low, deep CG and an MOI that’s 6.8 percent higher than the one found in existing 712U utility irons.

The Titleist 716 MB Irons
, a fifth new model (not pictured), is a pure muscle back blade with a thinner top line than its predecessor. The muscle has been shifted higher in the head to improve impact feel. $1,100, steel; $1,300, graphite.

Titleist 716 T-MB
The Titleist T-MB also has one-degree stronger lofts than the 712U, which helps generate 2 mph more ball speed and an extra 3.9 yards of carry. The T-MB profile and blade lengths are similar to the AP2’s.
The stock standard lofts are 17°, 20°, 23° and 26°, but full sets ($1,600, steel; $1,800, graphite) are available through Titleist’s MOTO (“made
only to order”) program. $200/club, steel; $225/club, graphite.
Titleist 716 CB
The Titleist 716 CB’s body size and dimensions are very similar in terms of blade length, top line thickness and offset to the AP2
irons, this is a high-tech construction to the cavity-back club.
By adding an average of 55.2 grams of tungsten in the form of those two weights, the center of gravity is lowered. The long and
middle irons should produce a slightly higher ball flight that stops quicker for distance control.
The Titleist 716 CB -3-P 
are priced at $1,200, steel; $1,400, graphite
