Name is Ryan, I live in the Palm Springs, CA area. I shared this somewhere else, though you all might get a kick:

I called Titleist just maybe 2-3 days ago and asked them if they make a 2 Iron in the new 710 MB Forged Clubs. The lady laughed at me and told me that I have not had one of those request in quite some time. I know that most players including tour players have gone to hybrids. I have actually never tried a hybrid. I love my 670 (old Titleist) and I don't have the heart to change. I guess now I am forced to change unless I keep the 670 or I know they make the 2-iron in a cavity back, but I have not hit a cavity back in about 22 years.

First thing, welcome!

So, if you're wanting the new 710 series MBs, I would think an option you may have is to get a 2nd 3 iron at .5" longer, and have the lie and loft bent down to that of your current 2 iron. It may not have the same bounce angle as your current one, but that may be as close as you'll get. That's the only thing I can really think of if you're dead set on the MB. Also, I'm not sure if you've looked at them very much, but the CB isn't exactly a big, full size cavity like you may be thinking. It's nowhere near the size of an AP1 or AP2. We covered the release of both the MB and CB here , so take a look and it may be able to help you make a decision on them.

    • Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
