2025 Titleist T-Series Irons

[JB]

My last round had these irons in the bag. I love the look.
I love the feel of the T250s for what they are.
One area I am struggling a bit is with the scoring clubs at a transition point. My distances all seem rock solid with the 5,6,7 and when I get to the 8,9,PW, I am coming up just a tiny bit short on good strikes compared to where I am normally. Its led to some tough scores being short sided or falling into a bunker.

Im going to get them out on the monitor this weekend for a gapping session and see if its a contact thing or if its something else.

For those using the T250s, where do your distances fall compared to where you are used to? All rock solid? Longer? Shorter?

How much short are you finding your coming up? Is this maybe a case of what Marni was talking about with the strike location and higher strikes coming up short?

Hitting the simulator this weekend. First time swinging a club since Thanksgiving. Only played 2.5 rounds with the 250s since I got them so I'd like to get some baseline numbers heading into next season. During my fitting for these, my 7 iron was carrying about 157 yards which was about 7 more than my last set. Obviously stronger lofted, but we will see where the gaps are.

While my situation is a bit different in that I had to adjust to the different lofts (and total distance impact of the ball not releasing nearly as much as my T200’s did), I experienced something very similar with the T250* (Launch Spec). What I found for my situation was it had to do with ball position.

For some reason that isn’t clear to me is that when I play the T250* a little too far forward in my stance (but is similar to where I played the T200 or ZX5 before them), I lose distance and this happens most frequently in the shorter irons. The strike feels fine and ball flight looks good but the carry will be 1/2 to 1 club shorter. The ball placement difference we are talking about is 1-2 inches depending on the club. When I move the ball back a little, all is good. The challenge has been that it isn’t natural to where I placed the ball for the last several years so it can creep back in. As such, I made a note for myself in my phone (in addition to a few other reminders) that I’ll review before playing.

I believe you mentioned you were changing out the Tour AD shafts, did you end up doing that?

Forward ball position is probably going to get you some more height just based on the swing arc, but that’s been my experience. Do you have numbers for your peak height, etc of what your ideally looking for?

my experience with the T150 irons has been extremely positive throughout my time with them. I've really benefited from some sim time over the last couple months because I feel like in many ways it's a validation of real distance expectations to see the number on a screen vs hitting it outside and wondering if there are other things happening.

With some of my latest swing adjustments through GolfTec I've been promoting a bit more of a neutral face (I think I've been a bit closed) which has really been positive with the T150 head. While I still get that big time stability from the perimeter weighting, I can definitely still bringing the ball back to center when it starts out to the right, where I was starting to make a habit out of hitting down the line with the ball rolling over to the left rather than a true draw.

I'm curious for those who are in these heads, what your workability perspective is.

With the swing tweak, are you still more toe biased with your strike?

I wouldn't say so, no. Toe miss used to be quite common for me but it's been pretty neutral of late.

You?

 

[JB]

Its hard to say, because I am not as some would say, an elite ball striker, but do make my way around the course. If I was a betting man, I would say 5 yards, but a consistent 5 yards.

I’ve been a heel banger for as long as I can remember, but with the swing tweak (and maybe because of swapping from the LZ’s and having a different feel there), I’ve found myself more toe bias with these. It’s been a bit of a change as I think we can get comfortable with our bias, and the results that present because of it, but the 150 is really strong on that side, and unless I panic and really shut the face down, the toe side strike is not a miss on the face to live in fear of.

5 yards is 5 yards . Elite ball striker or not, it’s worth noting, especially with the example we were given with the island green and the fitting mentality.

I think toe contact on these are incredibly healthy from a result perspective, and a bit unsatisfying in the feel perspective haha - there's just a level of 'oomph' that comes from quality contact in the middle of the head that I miss when i toe ball.

Also fair. I think that feel quality fall off is maybe less so with the 250/U505, maybe because of the larger mass of tungsten, but there has to be a point of diminishing returns at some point when we start talking about this category of irons. When you have less real estate to build a castle on, your defense will suffer somewhere.

Good question. Almost all of my observations are outdoors with only a Mevo but I’ll go back and look at data and see if anything jumps out there. Visually, I don’t remember peak height changing dramatically but I hit them pretty high (80-100’)…at least for me and how they were fit.

Could be nothing more than just how your delivering it (presenting more/less loft at the ball position), but it’s interesting to hear what your seeing from the Launch Spec.

Yes it’s interesting. Tomorrow morning I am going to dive in and get solid distances for all irons on the launch monitor and see where it is.

Very curious to see how these stack up against some new faces in the category this release season. The 2-year release cycle is spoken about with a lot of confidence from our friends at Titleist, and the team spoke about these in August with every indication that they had gotten it right.

 

[Hawk]

The biggest difference I continue to see with the T350s is launch and peak height. Even when contact isn’t perfect, the ball gets up quickly and comes down soft. Mid-iron shots in particular are holding greens far more consistently than I’m used to.

What’s really stood out is the 6 iron. That club has always been a bit of a question mark for me, but with the T350 I’m swinging it with actual confidence. I don’t feel like I need to guide it or hit it perfectly to get a usable result. Between the tech and the fitting, this is the first time in a long while where I genuinely trust that part of the bag.

For those using the T250s, where do your distances fall compared to where you are used to? All rock solid? Longer? Shorter?

Just out of curiosity, have you checked the lofts? Are they different than other OEM's 8 - PW that you've been using? Or have the lofts moved, being that they are forged?

 

[R-Yang13]

Been a couple weeks with some minimal swings, but for my part the T150/250 combo is really impressive. One of the things that was important to me in my fitting was dispersion, and to come in relatively cold today, and sort of use the time to shake off some rust and see where I was at, this is fun to see.

We’ve had the discussion about “scoring yardages”, and what club you feel most comfortable in putting the ball in good positioning, and I’ll take 50% all day. I spent about 20 minutes or so in the combine feature, firing at greens from different yardages, using my goal cap of 0 as a baseline.

I’ve got some work to do still on my approach game, but these were not easy targets by any means, and compared to the last data sets I have from Shot Scope, this season with the new T-Series could show some really positive numbers.

 

[Jiffypop]

What is the biggest differenced between the T250 & the T250U for like 3,4 or 5 iron?
Is it just like, launch?

I'm still amazed by the toe forgiveness. to answer your workability question, I don't really try to work the ball much so don't have a lot to add. My desired/normal good shot result is a nice baby draw. With the T150's, I've probably hit more straight-ish than nice baby draws FWIW.

 

[CoyExotic]

I'm curious for those who are in these heads, what your workability perspective is.

I have a very neutral to slight draw swing and feel the 150s are very point and shoot when compared to other clubs I’ve played in the similar field. I can sling it way left or right but I have to put a strong focus on really pushing the ball to first or third base.

 

[Kmench]

Oh my my, the T100 have a real shot of being in the bag for this summer. Just hit the demo 4 iron with the demo AMT White and man did impress me. I wouldn't put that shaft in the set as I'd like to have graphite, but the feel and flight I saw out of the few shots I had made it very tempting.

Here's my first swing with the club

 

[Turbodog384]

I went to Dicks today and asked to demo the T150 & T250. I also hit the Maxfli XC2. It was not a fitting, I just hit them a bit. Unfortunately, the worker was an elderly man and not the "golf guy" so things didn't really go too smooth with the simulator or pairing club/shaft. Also, I never really seem to hit well in those situations.

I will say that I thought all three irons felt really good on impact and I'm anxious to hit again. The price point on the Maxfli is definitely tempting.
