, though the 775.CB is forged from stainless steel instead of carbon steel like the rest of Titleist's irons (with the exception of the 735.CM irons, which are available in forged stainless and carbon steel flavors). The forged stainless steel used in the 775.CB irons is not as soft as the carbon steel generally used in forgings, but it is also more durable and resists rusting. The buttery soft feel of forged carbon steel isn't a selling point for the higher-handicap player who is likely to use the 775.CB, but I found the irons to feel solid and fairly soft. Not as soft as the 690.CB irons I have, but softer than investment cast stainless steel irons. And while the 775.CB irons don't punish miss-hits with the harsh sting that forged blades impart, they do give you plenty of feedback at impact so you can immediately tell if you've missed the center of the clubface.
