Hey Jarred, the Ap2's are more forgiving than the CB's but take a look at the AP1's though too.

 

Connor,

 

The AP2s will be more forgiving overall, but still a great set of irons, since you have a bigger sweet spot and more forgiveness, but not bulky.  Since you are an 8-handicap, It depends on what you want from a set of irons? Why don't you consider building a combo set of irons, it doesn't cost any more than a stock set (unless you upgrade shafts and grips), but all it takes is time to have them built and sent to your house. 

I've seen people with an MB-CB-AP2 set of irons, so you can do whatever you want. 

Let us know what you decide on and how they turn out for you.

i'm a 4 handicap , do you think a CB would be the club for me?

Both will work great for you. Hit them both and decide what feels better. I just sold my 712 CB and now have 714 AP2. I love them both. Dont be afraid of the CB's; they are great. I will say the CB is better suited for a higher swing speed.

I'm a 5 handicap and I have the CB's and love them. It just depends on how you control the club head.
