Titleist has been seeding their new T-Series iron lineup on Tour since the Memorial and select fitting events for a while now, however, today we finally get to share all the under-the-hood details on just what is going on this time around. The success of the previous T-Series among amateurs has been well documented, but people forget that they have also been a part of keeping Titleist as the most played brand on Tour for eighteen of the last nineteen years.
So, where do they go from the success of the previous T-Series which cleaned things up and streamlined the lineup? They lean even more on their design team who continues to flex their willingness to keep evolving and optimizing in order to continue being a standard bearer in the industry.
2023 Titleist T-Series Irons
Sure, you can likely predict that Titleist is talking adamantly about the newest T-Series irons bringing even more feel, better looks, and higher performance than the previous version. If you hit the previous versions, then you also know those are lofty goals. The manner at which Titleist is attacking this version though, is befitting of the brand, they are one who grind over the details, all the details, and that certainly appears to be the case here from their initial discussion:
“The new T-Series irons embody a unique approach to iron design and creation,” said Josh Talge, VP, Titleist Golf Club Marketing. “Down to the finest details, this new line delivers best-in-class performance with stunning aesthetics and feel. Each model has been designed to feel as good as it looks, look as good as it performs, and perform better than any iron we’ve created before it.”
Going forward, the T-Series will be a four-pronged iron release. Where last time there was a bit of redundancy in the naming methods, now it is simplified with the T100, T150, T200, and T350. Yes, more numbers, but the system will make perfect sense when we dive into just what each head is intended to do, and how it does it.
This release is once again making it fun to see how far Titleist has come in terms of embracing what they do best, and how they do it, while accepting that trends change. The emphasis on creating four irons that will allow golfers the confidence that they can and will hit their intended numbers with the accuracy Titleist is known for, while also acknowledging that it may mean a blending of the designs to find the right fit for the individual, is a cornerstone to the new T-Series. In fact, of their Tour staff, almost 80% are playing some form of a blended setup. To aid this, you will actually be seeing 5-irons make their way to fitters to ensure the best blending possible for those who pursue it.
The best way to break down the unique characteristics and changes, however, is to go iron by iron, so let’s get into it!
2023 Titleist T100 Irons
The T100 is staying true to its roots in being a true players cavity back iron for the most discerning and demanding ball strikers on the planet. What you may not fully realize is that the T100 has actually been the most played model on Tour since the first iteration in 2019, and with the 2023 model the early adoption has been immediate.
Titleist is calling the T100 “The Modern Tour Iron” and rightfully so, this is a CB which is aimed at precision, control, and feel/sound. With the feedback the previous version has garnered, it had to be a daunting task to tackle making it even better, but refinement was the ultimate goal here, starting with the forged dual-cavity construction itself. Through new CNC face milling to shift the CG slightly, combined with the brands already precision driven forging process, they claim the T100 is more solid feeling at impact this time around to give even more immediate feedback on strikes to the user.
Internally, Titleist is implementing Tungsten to the heads in order to shift the CG to their goal locations and achieve the feedback their Staff has asked for. To do this D18 Tungsten is being brazed via a 2000-degree aerospace process. Why? According to Titleist it means the forged feel/feedback they desire is not hampered in any way compared to some other attachment processes.
Along with the nee CNC Face Milling processes for precision off any lie, Titleist also took feedback and input from their Tour players as well as Vokey grind experts to make a better sole. This T100 has had its variable bounce smoothed and softened in the trail section in order to create better, faster, cleaner interactions to and through the turf.
T100 will come standard with True Temper AMT Tour White shafts in steel, while the Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei White AM2 is the graphite option, both paired with an all-new proprietary Titleist Universal 360 grip.
2023 Titleist T150 Irons
You read that correctly, the T150. Last time around, Titleist presented the T100S as an alternative to the T100 for golfers who wanted something still in a player type profile but with more power. The T100S was a definite success, but the T150 move cleans up any potential confusion and looks to cement it as the iron for golfers who want T100 precision, but more speed, distance, and forgiveness. Makes sense that Titleist is calling it “The Faster Tour Iron”.
In a familiar move, the T150 is built on the same fully forged base design as the T100 is, but it has 2-degree stronger lofts and a slightly larger profile comparatively. That specifically means a more confidence inspiring look at setup differentiated from the T100 where the T100S was essentially identical. Fret not however, the offset and blade length remain identical to the T100.
The design is fully forged to bring feel to the stronger lofts, and the “Muscle Channel”, which made surprising speed jumps in the T100S, is back in the T150 albeit blended to the new shaping of the iron in order to keep the precision look Titleist wanted. The channel is situated closer to the face this time, but to a point where during internal testing it retained the feel/sound which the company demands.
While some might be saddened to hear the profile changed a bit from the T100S, the consistent feedback was that it was perhaps on the small side. So, a slightly thicker topline and wider sole while keeping the blade length and offset the same makes for a more friendly look. Not to mention, those changes also allowed Titleist to shift the CG lower in the head for easier launch even at stronger lofts while keeping all the feel in the forging combined with the new softening of the rear sole.
For the T150, the standard steel shaft will be the Project X LZ and Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei White AM2 for graphite, both with the new proprietary Titleist Universal 360 grips.
2023 Titleist T200 Irons
Ah yes, the T200. This iron has for the past couple of releases been simultaneously beloved for the sheer performance it offers and faced some criticism for the sound/feel differentiation from the T100. You would be hard pressed to find someone who didn’t like the visual change of the last T200 which created a much more players like look that was Titleist clean as opposed to all visual tech. However, the goal remained to create a jump in feel while improving the look even more.
The T200 is the “Players Distance Iron” of the T-Series and so every effort was made to keep or increase the trajectory and stopping power that blends with sheer ball speed potential. However, while the last T200 nailed making such an iron look like a player’s iron, it still needed a jump in feel. It is for that reason that every single change was intent on helping remedy that.
Internally, there is an all new structure that makes for more stability in the frame/chassis of the irons which works in conjunction with an evolved Max Impact Technology power source. The Max Impact now fits much more snugly to a new dual taper forged face and with the stiffer frame Titleist claims it has a much more solid feel/sound at impact now. The T200’s also use the same D18 Tungsten and aerospace brazing technique as the T100 and T150 to dial in the CG.
Even with all the changes to improve the sound/feel, Titleist states that the new T200 have the same shape which proved so impressive in the last release. Add in the improved variable bounce sole with more relief on the trailing edge now and the T200 may be even more versatile. However, it is all still tied together with a bow that is a clean, and concealed, cavity look which based on initial pictures flows effortlessly into T100 and T150 and boasts identical offset and blade lengths as them to boot.
At standard, the True Temper AMT Black (steel) and Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei Blue AM2 (graphite) will be the options using the new proprietary Titleist Universal 360 grips.
2023 Titleist T350 Irons
Finally, “The Ultimate Game Improvement Iron” according to Titleist joins the T-Series. This is the T350, and the objective in design was simple, make it go high, long, and far while keeping forgiveness across the face. How did they accomplish that? Well, they went hollow body of course. But fret not, there has been a lot of attention to making sure the T350 blends with the rest of the lineup visually, rather than standing off on its own.
The T200 chassis is the basis of inspiration for the T350 and that is what allowed more forgiveness, launch, and power. The keys are again the evolution of Max Impact Technology along with a new dual-taper forged face and dual tungsten weighting system. A good way to think about it is Titleist has taken all the tech they use in the other T-Series irons and put them into a profile that all players can enjoy.
By moving to a multi-material hollow build, The T350 seeks to create more speed all the way across the face along with better retention of both speed and spin on misses. Like the T200, there has been a lot of discussion from Titleist about being relentless on getting the sound/feel right, which is the make or break for any hollow body iron.
Through the same techniques as in the new T200 via the Max Impact Tech and polymer adjustment in relation to how it snugs to the face, they believe the sound/feel is right. Another aspect is using the same variable bounce sole with trail relief that the other three irons to also impact that feel as the irons gets into and out of the turf. Perhaps there is no better backing of that than the T350 actually getting play on Tour, yes, you read that right.
Big MOI, lower CG, as well as across the face speed and forgiveness with emphasis on dispersion are all things golfers love in game improvement irons, but the way Titleist is visually tying it together might make it a smash hit in the segment. The hollow design has allowed for the tech to be more concealed in the T350 like its sibling the T200, and while usually golfers in these irons love visual tech, this is much more in line with the cleanliness and class they expect out of an iron with the Titleist script on it.
The T350 is paired at standard with the True Temper AMT Red in steel and Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei Red AM2 for graphite. But, as with the whole line, there will be a plethora of custom options available.
The Details
All four of the new T-Series irons will be priced at $200 per club or $1,399 for 7-piece in steel and $216 per club or $1,499 for 7-piece in graphite, very much another example of the continuity Titleist is striving to maintain in their flagship iron lineup. The irons are all in play on Tour already with one of the fastest adoption rates Titleist has seen. Officially, the T-Series will hit shelves on 8/25/23 with fittings available now.

A steep swing with 2* more bounce sounds good in theory. Getting better numbers with the change back to the standard lofts?
[/QUOTE]
I’m shallowing out some, but I was getting better contact with added bounce.
I just went to the range today and hit wedges. I just love the pw and gw t150 for partial shots. Just consistent distances but baked in forgiveness.
Considering the brisk wind today (quartering into on 12, quartering with on 18) and that it’s still March, these approach shots were just so money. Having the confidence to pick a line and fire is my favorite part of my T200s.
They do what they’re asked to do!

Work with the irons is paying off. Better contact and swings as of late. The 2i continues to impress me with its forgiveness and feel. Even in cold weather I have not felt the hand numbing mishit. It is very easy to keep in play and get the distance or close to the distance I want with my swing.
Off the tee, I am seeing over 50% fairways hit and am shocked that a 2i can be a club I have confidence in.
On a great hit I am seeing longer shots than my hybrid.

In less than good contact, I still get good distance and control.

Definitely worth a look for those who might not enjoy hybrids a lot.
These irons were on fire today. Played in super windy canyon course. The 4i off the tee was so good. My bag is so locked.
Curious if anyone is playing 150 or 200 with Tensei blue AM2 shafts. I have a soft spot for Titleist. Back in grad school there were a group of us that played every week at the Rose Bowl, and my iron play was strong, gaming a set of DCI golds including a 1-iron (my driver liked to visit different zip codes). I’m having good luck with a Vokey lob experiment and am doing a Titleist wedge fitting next month. I’m committed to getting my wedge play strong – I can’t bomb it from the tee anymore but no excuse for not making up strokes in the short game.
Anywho after coming back from a multi-year injury lay-off, I’m finding the Tensei blue shafts to typically time well for me as long as the weight is right. The Blue AM2 in the Vokey is great – no issue with near full swings on the 60. Seems like 7 or 8-PW might be good. Maybe when I do the wedge fit I can hit an iron or two, but curious if anyone has gone that route.
I love these so much, it’s great walking in a store and having no desire to look at new irons.
I have been moving my irons a bit too much right to left lately, but it is me and not the irons. I did have 4 good birdie looks today that I failed to convert. I have been focusing so much on my driver swing that I need to get back and work on my irons a bit. I still like everything about the T150/200 combo set and it is solidly cemented in my bag.
I tried the T-200 and T-350 irons at my fitting 2 weeks ago. Just didn’t get along with these irons for some reason.
I am testing out new wedge lofts now to gap better with the irons. I am still very happy with the T series that my bag has been tailored to fit around the iron set. I may have added some custom paint to the 48* and utility irons…

I’m planning for a fitting sometime late April/Early May and am very interested in testing the T-Series irons (among others) but the T-Series has captured my full attention lately.
I’m currently playing Ping i200’s and not really sure where i fit into the T-Series. I’d like to think maybe a 200/150 combo set, but even a straight 200 set or 350/200 mix could be in the realm of possibility.
The goal is to find the set that really fits my swing/game the best and affords me the chance to shoot some decent numbers consistently. I really haven’t been able to play golf much the last 2 years due to work responsibilities and, while my game hasn’t tanked, it’s certainly not as strong as it could or should be. It may sound ridiculous looking at my current handicap (and considering that i’m not getting any younger) but i really feel like i am capable of cutting my ‘cap in half. So… that’s the goal.

Some ice blue on my favorite slubs: 48°, 4, and now the 2i.
[ATTACH type=”full”]9254531[/ATTACH]
I have been moving my irons a bit too much right to left for a minute now. When I went in for my Vokey Experience wedge fitting today and was fit to one degree flat, I decided to see if it would help the ball flight in my iron set. I took them in and, lo and behold, they were one degree upright, even though ordered standard. They moved them to one degree flat. I hit the 7 iron on the foresight monitor at the store for 5 or 6 swings and wow, what a difference. I am now getting a bit higher peak height, much less movement left and better descent angle. Now I am really excited for my next round.

These look so good in hand dude.
I don’t have stats to share for yesterday’s play – it was a scramble with [USER=10378]@dAS0[/USER] [USER=52080]@blazinden[/USER] and [USER=69044]@Sarzar[/USER] – but these are still the star of the show for me. I think I only hit one bad iron shot all day – unfortunately it was on an island green :poop: – but otherwise I was golden. First iron shot of the day, no range at the course so a completely cold swing, hit a 7i from 160 into a pretty good breeze to about 8′. Now that’s called being comfortable!
More work on my swing to do. After seeing some images of my backswing, it looks flat, but contact was still good over the weekend.
Shanking the first tee shot in a tournament is a poor way to start, but that was the only major issue. I am pulling the irons a bit still, but am finding the green even with the miss hits. I did have a bunch of shots that felt great, were on line, but landed short of my target by 10 yards. I am not sure if wind played a factor or if I am lifting the irons more than I should. Still, being around the green on off shots has helped.
Two bright spots were a 2i from 220 yards that I hit well and ended up between a green side bunker and the green. [USER=15030]@SkiBumGolfer[/USER] chipped in for eagle from 15 feet or so. I’ll take the assist ?
The other shot was an 8i into the wind on an island green par 3. I clubbed up twice to make sure I got there and the club did everything I wanted it to. I went long, saw some back spin and almost holed it. These clubs do well in my amateur hands and perform perfectly when I manage to swing well. I am still very happy with feel across the face through the full iron set.

Don’t feel too bad about the shorts. I think we all saw similar – case in point hole 9, all three of us thought we flushed it and still ended up just short on the closely mown area. There were a lot of swirling breezes. Also right there with you on pulling – that was my miss yesterday also. I know why I’m doing it, but it still needs more work.
You’re definitely flushing it more often than not, and even when you’re not it’s turning out pretty nicely.
A really solid round with these today. Back into the mid 70’s scoring. I love the gw, had a pitch in for birdie.
The guys from Titleist are at our course for a demo weekend and I decided to try out the irons.
The T200 and T350 were absolutely sweet. Some of the best irons I have hit.
My friend was hitting the TSR2 and TSR3 drivers and he was just creaming the ball!
After being a Callaway guy all my life I am very tempted to give these irons a shot!
Not sure why more folks don’t play Titleist gear. Absolutely top notch.

It’s funny because with the latter, they are the only major OEM (that I know of) that offers the Tensei AM2 graphite shafts as a stock option, which are one I get along with well. I’m pondering them despite the price and because of that.
I have them in my 2021 T300s
Had a day with the irons in 30 mph winds today. Lots of guessing games with distances, but teeing off with the 5 and 4 irons went well. Swinging less aggressively and letting these clubs do what they do was the best course of action. A lot of smooth, soft contact today after I worked a few things out.
Also, with the way these clubs get through the grass, I am more confident hitting a longer club out of the fescue. Not that I should hit a 6i out of tall grass, but it did work…
Today reminded my why I love my Titleist irons. After 15 holes, I had 11/15 GIR. I threw up all over myself on the last three holes, but the irons really performed throughout the round.
T200 long irons are fantastic. Really confidence inspiring over the ball and the ball shoots off the face. First round T my home course tomorrow and looking forward to playing.

I recently purchased a T350 (5 iron) and T200 (6-P) with the Tensei shafts. Really like them. Liked the 5 iron so much that I ordered the 6 in T350 as well.
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but at the risk of being a broken record, these irons continue to be the strength of my game. I have been gaining strokes on a 10 handicap on approaches in every single round since December, with the average being 2.09 strokes and the most being 4.26 strokes. I’m even averaging 0.12 strokes gained on a 5 handicap in the last 10 rounds. Don’t get me wrong, I am certainly not perfect, and I continue to struggle at times with a pull, as well as with tending to miss short (though I suspect that has something to do with how cold / windy it’s been), but the misses are SO much smaller than they were with my previous irons.
The T200 long irons are so crazy good. I hit a 4i uphill into a breeze from 200 and ended up just slightly over the green on the toughest hole on the course, and also hit a 5i to 20′ into that same breeze from 190 onto the 2nd toughest hole and toughest green to hit. They are the easiest long irons I’ve gamed by a long shot, and they still feel so good considering the speed and forgiveness that’s there.
Also, I have gone back to the 48* and the 9i being my key go-to chipping clubs to great success. I really need to work on my wedges in general, but the lone bright spot in my short game right now is chipping with the T150’s.
Highlight shot yesterday was a T150 9i into a real breezy sky to a very small par 3 green, that I hit to inside 10′ and made the putt for my only birdie of the day. Perfectly struck and with the T150’s feel, I immediately knew it was going to be a good one.
I am back from a long weekend in SC and put these irons through a lot! The point of my trip was to play The Ocean Course and the irons were the key to me staying in play. The wind was thankfully 5-10 mph (a gift out there) and with my driver being what it is, hitting irons off the tee was important a a number of par 4’s. The T200 4i utility was the star of the show with a gentle draw finding a few fairways and a few rolling a bit too far into waste bunkers. Still, easy to swing and let the club do the work.
My pull left is back, so I have work to do, but it is consistent and I made it work (kind of). When I managed to find the greens which were paspalum and something I never really got used to. It felt very grabby for both iron shots and chips and I made a bad habit of adding too much to chips which went long. The irons and wedges got through just fine but I still added extra to my swing and suffered the consequences. I need to trust the club design.
Greens were firm and tough to hold like back home on bent grass, and were quite firm (rarely made much of a ball mark) but I did not see a ton of roll out with mid irons. Greens were smaller than I thought that they would be, so keeping shots tight from landing to full stop was important.
All in all, letting the clubs do the work and not adding or adjusting for new grass types would have been the better idea. I had a ton of fun testing the irons out on unfamiliar territory (also on beach sand. A lot of beach sand).
I had a great round with my T150’s Saturday. A very tough and tight course and stuck alot of approach shots.

That is a beautiful track!
Trying to work out my swing and had a few issues with irons yesterday, but I also hit a few of my best iron shots ever. My 7 iron has been the biggest issue (maybe due to being the shortest T200?) Anyway, I can pull this club left the most and did so on a par 5. A few holes later, I hit the 7i again and hit one of the best shots ever. Played my number and landed it 5 yards longer than average. Swing work continues!
I did have a bad break when warming up on the range. My 2i which is the newest club in the bag decided to separate head from shaft. Epoxy failure. Kudos to the course staff who drove the range cart out to get the club head. Maybe I am reading too much into things, but has there been an increase in epoxy failures this year? I have seen 6 clubs fail this year already.

Oh geez! I assume Titleist put this one together for you, so hopefully if you contact them they will pay for the repair or replacement.
I feel you on the lefts. That is my miss with these as well, but it also was with my previous irons. I’ve made some grip and swing tweaks in the last few months that have taken me from a previous roughly 2/3 left misses to much closer to even left vs right in my last 10 rounds. I guess I say this to say stick with it, you’ll find what works!
Had a Titleist fitting Friday for wedges – ended up filling out that end of the bag. Had a conversation about irons and took the first step down the slippery slope – ordered a T150 PW in the same spec as the wedges. Will see how that fares compared to the ZX5mkii PW. I could see then adding the T150 9i, but maybe keeping ZX5 8i as for some reason I hit that thing really well – same with the 7i.
Life is an experiment…
A few swings with the T350 4 iron sent the ponder mode into overdrive. It was a really enjoyable experience.
Where have people been breaking their set from the T350 to T200? And how do the T350 work for folks in the scoring irons? Part of me wonders jaut to lean into the forgiveness with how good it felt.

My set goes 4-6 T 350 and 7-AW T200. Love the huge forgiveness and distance in the T350s. The T200s are more of my scoring irons and they are also forgiving and feel great, no issues holding greens or anything.

How do the PW and AW play for little chips and touch shots around the green?
[QUOTE=”djt311, post: 12314382, member: 43172″]
They actually do really well. I started using the PW and AW around the green more than I ever had before with any other iron set. I typically use a 54 around the greens but for some shots where I need a little more roll out was using the PW and AW, they also have some good checking spin when needed.

Thanks, wasn’t sure with the hollow construction how they felt for you there.
The launch on the 350 today on that 4 iron was pretty intoxicating to be honest
Irons are the undisputed strength of my game right now, and the T-Series are a key reason for that. On approaches, I have gained strokes on a 10 hcp in all but one of my last 10 rounds, gained strokes on a 5 hcp in each of the last 4 rounds, and in my last round on Sunday I even gained strokes on a scratch golfer. I’m starting to feel like I’m approaching mid-season swing status right now, and the irons are close to point and shoot.
As good as the whole set is, the T200 long irons continue to be the standout. Never in my life have I had the confidence to stand over an iron from 200 yards out or more, with trouble to contend with, and execute it like I’ve been able to do with these. The below are some of the best examples from my Sunday. Just absolutely loving it and you would have to pay me quite handsomely to go back to a hybrid at this point.

does anyone on here play the T350 – say 6 iron thru gap wedge – like to hear some reviews on these irons not just the T200- say for an 8 hc senior player in their early 70’s
My current experiment – ZX5 PW vs T150 PW. The Srixon has a Dart 65R shaft, the Titleist is Tensei Blue AM2-R. I expected a bigger difference. Was swinging so-so today, most things were out on the toe. The ZX5 is a little longer so you have more toe to work with, but they were comparable. In addition distance was pretty much the same, the T150 maybe was a yard or two longer. Both are 44*. Different feel when you flush them – ZX5 has a light click, the T150 just kind of dissarears into the cornfield like Shoeless Joe.

I came from ZX5’s to T200/T150 combo and I find the T150 feels miles better to me than the ZX5 – and the ZX5 is no slouch.
