Bettinardi Launches MB24 & CB24 Irons By Ed Travis Bob Bettinardi has been known for milled putters, of the highest quality, for 30 years, but now he has released his first sets of irons, the co-forged MB24 and CB24 irons. Bettinardi’s reputation for innovation in milled putters has carried over to the new irons and if looks are an indication of performance, both will be an instant hit with golfers. Using a sophisticated co-forging technique, the one-piece heads have a tungsten ceramic matrix (CMC) composite weight on the inside, with the size and placement, loft dependent. This means a lower center of gravity in the long irons helps create a higher launch, plus a higher center of gravity in the shorter irons, aids in producing more spin. The cavity back of the CB24s is generous and changes shape from the lower to higher lofts to increase the modulus of inertia, or resistance to twisting, just a fancy way to say more forgiving. Mixed sets are easily accomplished because the MB24’s and CB24’s stock lengths and lofts are identical. Golfers may want the CB24 long irons mixed with the MB24 scoring irons.
