Introduction
New Level Golf’s 702 Series irons aim to meet the needs of a wide range of players by offering three distinct models: the 702 CB (cavity-back), 702+ (player’s distance) and 702 MB (muscle-back). Each iron offers precision-forged construction and tungsten weighting to improve launch and forgiveness while maintaining a high level of playability.
Four Forum testers evaluated these irons. Erin B tested the 702 CB, cjeffs12 tested the 702 CB, ce05krug tested the 702+ and 03trdblack tested the 702 MB. Their experiences provide a detailed look at how each model performs under different playing conditions, highlighting strengths and potential areas for improvement.

The irons arrived in perfect condition.”
ce05krug (702+): “I went into this test expecting a bulkier club, but the design is refined and sleek. The custom ferrules add a nice pop, and the satin chrome finish is stunning.”
03trdblack (702 MB): “Most blades are similar in appearance, but the 702 MB’s milled look on the back adds a unique touch. The shape at address is exactly what I want in a blade.”
Aesthetics and feel

Erin B (702 CB): “The 702 CBs have a unique look—classic and modern all in one club. Players stopped me to check them out.”cjeffs12 (702 CB): “These irons feel like launching marshmallows off the face. The sound and feel are as good as Titleist 718 MBs.”
ce05krug (702+): “Solid and consistent feel. Mishits don’t feel punishing, which is impressive for a players-distance iron.”
