Tech Studio will always amplify, my thoughts were from both there and outside. Part of it is hitting them back to back with other irons and getting such a stark difference. The other is preference of course. Titleist users have enjoyed the sound and feel. Others have found that sound/feel to be a bit different than what they are used to.
very interesting. i hit 100, 100S and 200 one after the other. 100 was the softest by a fair margin, but i just pick up on much between 100s and 200. and tbf i’ve read and heard the same thoughts about the loudness of t200 from others. i just personally didn’t notice anything substantially different. that probably says a lot more about my own preferences, though, as i thoroughly enjoyed the 718tmb i received in the ultimate club testing experience with titleist, as well as some 718 ap2s i had for a bit.
