Yahoo Sports Titleist irons 2024: Which are right for your game?
Walk in the practice area at a PGA Tour or LPGA event, and you will see plenty of stars using Titleist irons, including Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg, Jennifer Kupcho, Jordan Spieth, Will Zalatoris, Danielle Kang and Max Homa. But Titleist not only makes irons for elite golfers, the company also makes better-player distance irons, game-improvement clubs and irons developed to maximize distance and stability for new players too.
What Titleist works hard to do is make each iron appear aspirational, like it could be in a tour player's bag. Even the largest and most forgiving clubs are made to appear clean in the address position, with their game-improving technologies out of sight.
But with several different Titleist irons currently available in golf pro shops and specialty stores, finding the ideal club to match your game can be tricky. The best way to discover which irons are best suited to your game is to work with a custom fitter who has a launch monitor and test several different clubs, then compare the numbers and see which produces the best results for you.
The list of Titleist irons below is meant to be a starting point and to help you see which Titleist irons might be good for you to try.
T100
Price: $200 per club with True Temper AMT Tour White steel shafts and Titleist Universal 360 grips; $216 per club with Mitsubishi Tensei White AM2 graphite shafts
Specs: Dual-cavity design with SUP-10 stainless steel body, 17-4 stainless steel cradle and internal tungsten weights.
Who it's for: Low-handicap golfers who want increased consistency from an iron that delivers maximum feel and control.
What you should know: While keeping the size and shape of the T100 irons unchanged, Titleist worked to enhance their consistency by improving how the faces are made and continuing to boost the blend of workability and stability.
Excerpt: "As with the previous T100 irons, the 2023 version is designed with a dual-cavity construction that combines a forged, SUP-10 stainless steel face and body with a 17-7 stainless steel cap piece in the back of the club. Inside the cap, designers added pieces of tungsten in the heel and toe areas. There is an average of 80 grams of tungsten added to each club, with the piece in the toe larger to help offset the weight of the hosel and to pull the ideal hitting area into the center of the face."

T150
Price: $200 per club with True Temper AMT Tour White steel shafts and Titleist Universal 360 grips; $216 per club with Mitsubishi Tensei White AM2 graphite shafts
Specs: Dual-cavity design with SUP-10 stainless steel body, 17-4 stainless steel cradle and internal tungsten weights.
Who it's for: Low-handicap golfers seeking more distance, but who still want the look and feel of a compact iron.
What you should know: Designed like the T100 irons, the T150 delivers extra distance thanks to a polymer-filled muscle channel bar and lofts that are 2 degrees stronger than on the T100, but Titleist focused on making them sound and feel better than the T100•S irons they replace.
Excerpt: "While the T150 line has lofts that are 2 degrees stronger through the set than the T100, the biggest difference between the two irons is the addition of a muscle channel in the T150 that is in a bar connecting the toe to the heel. It is filled with a silicone-like polymer that absorbs some of the vibrations created at impact and encourages a slightly higher launch. It also helps the hitting area flex more effectively. The last version of T100•S had this feature too, but in the T150 irons it has been pushed slightly closer to the hitting area, which lets it work more effectively." Read the full review.
T200
Price: $200 per club with True Temper AMT Black shafts and Titleist Universal 360 grips; $216 with Mitsubishi Tensei Blue AM2 graphite shafts
Specs: Forged, L-shaped stainless steel face and forged body with internal tungsten weights.
Who They’re For: Golfers who need game-improvement clubs that deliver more distance and stability, but who also want a softer feel.
What you should know: Titleist adjusted the internal Max Impact system and the polymer back plate to enhance the sound and feel of the T200, while maintaining ball speed and forgiveness.
Excerpt: "The Max Impact polymer piece is thinner, and the support bar has been shifted more toward the heel, so it is now near the center of the face. Titleist also made the shelf that the back plate rests upon much wider in the toe area. The polymer plate that covers the back of the club and encases the hollow chamber has also been given a series of ribs and panels. All these things work together to stiffen the T200 at impact and change the harmonics, so it sounds better and feels better without a loss of speed or distance." Read the full review.
T350
Price: $200 each with True Temper AMT Black steel shafts and Titleist Universal 360 grips; $216 each with Mitsubishi Tensei Blue AM2 graphite shafts.
Specs: Forged SUP-10 stainless steel face with 17-4 stainless steel body and internal tungsten weights.
Who it's for: Mid- and higher-handicap golfers who want to maximize distance and forgiveness.
What you should know: This game-improvement club utilizes a hollow-body construction and multimaterial design to provide distance and stability, while updates to the internal design have made it sound and feel better at impact.
Excerpt: "The T350 has the widest sole and the thickest topline in the updated T Series iron family. While elite golfers want a thin topline, golfers who routinely shoot in the high 80s, 90s and over 100 often find thicker toplines reassuring. The trailing edge has also been made with a sharper upward curvature, which should help the club work through the turf more effectively, especially for players who have a steep angle of attack."

T400
Price: $185 per iron with True Temper AMT Red steel shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Lite+ grips; $199.99 per club with Mitsubishi Fubuki MV IR graphite shafts
Specs: Hollow-bodied irons with forged SUP-10 stainless steel face and internal tungsten weights
Who it's for: High-handicap and slower-swinging golfers who need to maximize forgiveness and carry distance.
What you should know: Released in 2020, the T400 is a super-game-improvement club that is bigger, more powerful and more forgiving than any other iron in Titleist’s stable.
Excerpt: "An added benefit of making the T400 irons hollow is Titleist designers were able to add large, internal pieces of heavy tungsten to the heel and toe areas. The precise amount varies by the club but goes up to 100 grams, which creates extreme perimeter weighting to boost the stability on off-center hits." Read the full review.
620 CB
Price: $175 each with Project X shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 shafts; $187.50 with Mitsubishi Tensei White AM2 graphite shafts
Specs: Forged 1025 carbon steel with tungsten weight
Who it's for: Elite ballstrikers, aspiring college players and golfers who have powerful, repeatable swings.
What you should know: The Titleist 620 has the short blade length, thin topline and minimal offset that elite players demand, but a small degree of perimeter weighting and a tungsten weight add some forgiveness.
Excerpt: "The 620 CB has less offset than the 718 CB it replaces and the same blade length as the 620 MB, but it also features more perimeter weighting. In the 3- and 4-irons, Titleist co-forged pieces of tungsten in the heel and toe to increase stability on slight mis-hits, but this still is a club designed for purists who demand great feel and the ability to shape shots." Read the full review.
620 MB
Price: $175 each with Project X shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 shafts; $187.50 with Mitsubishi Tensei White AM2 graphite shafts
Specs: Forged 1025 carbon steel.
Who it's for: Professional golfers, elite players and golfers who value control and feel over forgiveness.
What you should know: The 620 MB is the muscleback blade Titleist developed with feedback from PGA Tour pros and players at the highest levels, and it provides the highest levels of feel and control for golfers who want to work the ball around the course.
Excerpt: "The 620 MB is forged from 1025 carbon steel and has a thin topline and virtually no offset. Titleist modified the sole and gave the leading edge more pre-wear. Looking down at the sole, it almost appears to have a wedge-like C-Grind. It makes the clubs work through the turf more easily, even for players who have a steep, trapping swing."
