The TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Irons boast the highest MOI of the three 2011 TP irons. It is a multi-material forged cavityback design, with a two-piece head. The TPCB’s advanced construction combines a forged face with a cast body.
The undercut cavity delivers the forgiveness of a deep cavityback, whilst producing the pure feel of a forged iron. The Inverted Cone Technology (the only iron of the three with ICT) promotes faster ball speed on off-centre hits, and helps make the TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Irons extremely forgiving for consistent distance with every club.
The TPCB also features a precision-weighting port that guarantees consistent swingweight throughout the set while ensuring a lower centre of gravity to optimize ball flight on every iron. Additionally, the TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Iron features the advanced groove design to promote more spin and control from the rough.
The TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB irons are the game improvement cavity back irons in the TP range. The sole is a little more chunky than the other TP irons thanks to the undercut cavity of the cast head, but that is what gives the CB irons their forgiveness and high MOI. The head includes a forged face insert and combined with the sound management badge does make these irons feel very good indeed.
This is a little surprising as the heads are oversized with a little more offset than the MC irons, so you would expect all the usual game improvement characteristics, but no. The flight was a little higher but still penentrating and the long irons in particular were very easy to hit.
Mid-handicappers may want to blend a few of the MC short irons into their set, but otherwise the CB irons are well worth considering.

The TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB's are another solid iron from TaylorMade. With a slightly chunky top line they still look good behind the ball and the head shape is nice. Good performance too with a penetrating ball flight. The only downside for me was the visibility of the cavity back in the longer irons.
