Titleist 718 irons

Ok, so I found this article about Patton Kizzire winning at the OHL Classic at Mayokoba and it has a WITB section because, well, Titleist is trying to sell clubs.

I also found a page with the specs for the 718 irons...

My questions is this... why if you're using the 718T-MB in the 4i would you switch to the CB for the 5&6, then back to a MB for the 7-PW?

It seems to me the T-MB has been designed as an "easy to hit" long iron and they continued that on down to the shorter irons. I'm sure there are feel differences between the T-MB and MB which could easily explain the move from T-MB to MB, but if the 4i is easier to hit in the T-MB than the CB, then why would that be different for the 5&6?

Anyone?

Bear in mind this is conjecture coming from a person that is not savvy in the ways of good players.

(If it is not a typo or the wrong club was in the bag at photo time) I think there may be a possibility that the player may be more interested in being able to shape shots with the 4i than with the 5 and 6 irons. Perhaps he is confident to fly front of green obstacles and stop the ball near the pin whereas the 4i might need to be guided around those objects. And/or the 4i is a first shot club on short par 4 holes and wants to shape it for those reasons. The short iron muscle backs may be for preferred trajectory.
