As you would expect with all Titleist products, the irons on offer in its current range are some of the best golf irons on the market. The brand seems to understand that irons are incredibly important to get right in every golfer's equipment setup and they need to help them be confident, accurate and consistent.
There are a number of factors that need to be considered when purchasing a set of irons and, thankfully, Titleist caters to all ranges of abilities. Whether you are after the most forgiving irons on the market, or perhaps the best distance irons, the company knows how to provide the right design to suit your needs and desires.
Below, we have taken you through the best Titleist irons available in its current range, with there being a number of excellent performers. However, if Titleist isn't for you and you are after a specific model, then why not check out the best TaylorMade irons, best Callaway irons, best Mizuno irons or the best Ping irons.
The Quick List
Despite minimal changes to the 2023 version, the T100 features subtle fixes that a really well thought out - new grooves in shorter irons allow for more spin and control whilst the longer irons deliver even higher launch - a classy set of irons.
An outstanding option in the game improvement category - the T350s maximize performance and forgiveness whilst now boasting a fantastic visual makeover.
The T150 sits in that perfect gap between player's iron and one that delivers plenty of speed and forgiveness to those who need it and should be very successful at retail as a result.
The T400 is a hybrid-style iron which we found to be effortless to hit and extremely long. They will definitely help golfers get the ball in the air whilst forgiveness comes from the wide sole design.
Replacing the T200 irons, the T250s are a significant step in the right direction for players' distance irons. Delivering a more refined, 'players'-like look, this set packs a punch in terms of distance.
This is a beautiful blade made for confident ball strikers. The changes in design versus the previous range are minor, but the cleaner, more refined look is very easy on the eye

Top pick
If you were to look at the professional circuits, you would likely see the T100 cropping up, with a compact profile, soft yet solid feel and workability providing users with exceptional all-round performance.
Aesthetically, and in testing, it was clear to us that it is designed for the competent ball striker, with the thin sole and top line joined by a narrow blade length and barely a hint of offset. What's more, when struck, it's clear that the sensation is different to all the other irons in the T-Series. The feel is more dense and less springy, which is particularly satisfying when you strike one out of the middle. Through the turf, the narrow sole also enters quickly but has been shaped to get out just as fast - creating a satisfyingly crisp and well-formed divot.
The main standout of the T100 though, especially when it comes to the best golf irons for low handicappers, the new grooves on the shorter irons. These more aggressive grooves increase spins levels, allowing more control and stopping power for both full approach shots and even if you want to hit bump and run shots around the green. Higher launch has also been achieved with the longer irons thanks to a muscle channel that has been strategically placed to help increase peak height. There aren't any groundbreaking differences between the 2023 and 2025 versions of the T100 but when your starting point is at the upper end of excellence, change may well be a bad thing.

Best game-improvement
The T350 continues to be Titleist’s main game improvement iron offering and, in terms of design, this iron benefits from split tungsten weighting like the T100, T150 and T200 for the very first time, making this a more forgiving prospect versus the T300. Improved Max Impact Technology leads to more consistent xarry distance and a tighter dispersion, whilst more aggressive grooves in the shorter irons have been added to enhance spin control from any lie - similar to the T100 irons.
Impressively, unlike some of the best distance irons on the market, the T350 doesn't have a chunky sole or thick top line. This set of irons went over quite a makeover compared to the 2023 version and the results are superb. Re-engineered with its high-strength steel face and body, the T350 presents a noticeably sleeker-looking head shape than previous game improvement models - impressive given the number of performance technologies housed within.
Performance-wise, Titleist have very much delivered their goal with the T350s in terms of maximum distance and enhanced consistency. It's one of the most powerful irons we've tested in recent memory but the sheer consistency on offer was the standout feature. In the game improvement category we often see a large variance in terms of front-to-back dispersion, even with the technologies designed to retain ball speed, but the consistency of all parameters, such as ball speed, launch, and spin, produced very predictable and reliable numbers.

Best looking
The T150 bridges the gap between the player's T100 iron and the more distance-orientated T200 iron. How, you may ask? Well, it does it through both its size and construction, with the sole and topline noticeably wider than the T100, as well as the blade length, which we felt is more generous. Along with the sole and topline, the muscle channel behind the face is filled with a polymer to create a more lively feel along with a softer sound. The differences don't stop there though, with the T150 featuring stronger lofts.
These irons fully deliver on their promise of elevated speed and consistency. We hit it noticeably further in testing, thanks in part of the stronger lofts particularly with long iron in hand. Turf interaction is also wonderful thanks to the Variable Bounce Sole which slid beautifully through the turf - most of our testing took place on firmer links turf, making this even more impressive.
In testing, we felt, at impact, it was slightly heavy to hit, but the two D18 tungsten weights, which sit in the dual cavity behind the bottom portion of the face, produce a high amount of mass when making contact with the ball. What's more, the resulting flight was a strong, yet playable one, with the head very stable on off-center strikes.
The looks are the star of the show though - the classic, plaer-preferred shape remains but the slightly larger head size compared to the T100 will fill the player with confidence before they swing. This subtle increase in profile offers that little bit of visual reassurance than the T100 without compromising on the wonderfully clean aesthetic. From the playing position, the fairly minimal offset and crisp topline are exactly what you'd expect from a Titleist player's iron, a job well done.

Most forgiving
The T400 iron has been designed to be the longest iron in Titleist’s popular T series range, as well as one of the most forgiving irons on the market. First things first, we must note that it has the strongest lofts in the range, but the launch is not compromised because, when we tested the iron, it produced a strong, high ball flight.
Aesthetically, the size and thick topline of the T400 makes it inviting to hit, with the offset and back of the sole visible to the naked eye. Titleist have crammed in up to 100g of tungsten in each head and, with the wide body shape and Split Sole design, the T400 screams forgiveness.
Because of the low CG and loft, you would think the T400 would struggle to get the ball airborne. However, this was not the case as we found no issue in getting the ball in the air. Importantly, the fast ball speeds easily put this in the best distance iron category, with the extra forgiveness helping those who struggle with inconsistent hits.

Best for distance
A brand new edition to the wonderful T-Series is the T250, an iron specifically catered towards players who want a distance boost without compromising on looks.
Looks-wise, these are a stunning set of irons. It presents a genuinely clean, modern, minimalist design that oozes quality, and I believe will appeal to a wide range of discerning golfers. Without sounding hyperbolic, these could well be the best looking set of irons anywhere on the market, pipped only by the T150s, but even that is a coin flip between the two. While T250 absolutely offers a slightly larger profile than the T100 or T150, I found this increase to be barely noticeable because it is so beautifully executed in terms of the shaping.
In terms of performance, Titleist promised more speed and consistency with the new T250s and have delivered. The stronger lofts (7-iron is 30.5˚), combined with the refined internal weighting and muscle channel, provided some exceptional ball speed numbers and pretty explosive distance! The feel is also wonderful but also allows the user to know where on the face you've struck the ball. Front-to-back dispersion was also very tight during testing, proving there is both consistency and forgiveness on offer here.

Best blade
To begin with, the 620 MB is one of the best golf blade irons we have ever tested, as the muscleback design produces a Tour-proven flight that is workable and controllable.
When it comes to the overall technology, Titleist have made sure the Centre of Gravity locations have been designed to allow for shot-making and to deliver responsive feedback. When hit off the face, we found it to be supremely smooth with a penetrating ball flight.
Being a blade, this is really only a club for the best golfers, but those with the necessary ball-striking skills will get a great deal out of it. What's more, Titleist does offer the ability to create a combo set, with MBs in the short irons and CBs at the top end of the bag. Unless you are an elite ball striker, we would certainly recommend going for this for that piece of mind over the ball.

How we test irons
Our testing for golf irons uses the knowledge and expertise of the Golf Monthly team with a thorough testing procedure. We start by attending product launches to meet with the manufacturer's experts to understand the new technologies.
Then after getting samples, we head indoors to test the equipment in a controlled environment. This will usually take place on a simulator or launch monitor, with premium golf balls to get some basic data. We then head outdoors to test the equipment on outdoor facilities and then out on the course because this lets us see how they perform in different conditions, and how they are to actually use when playing. Specifically iron testing is headed up by Joe Ferguson, a PGA Professional with over 20 years in the industry.
It should also be mentioned that manufacturers cannot pay for a good review and we make our conclusions from the testing and our experiences. We then look to be as insightful and honest as possible with the audience so they have more information on the equipment.
How to choose new irons
As you have seen, the market for Titleist irons, and the wider golf iron market is crowded and confusing and being sure you're getting the most suitable iron for your game can be a minefield. So here are some top tips and factors to think about when thinking about purchasing new irons...
Your Handicap And Ability
Knowing which type of iron best suits your game is arguably the most important step. This is by no means gospel, but higher handicappers tend to use cavity back irons that offer maximum forgiveness in a larger iron head, while mid-low handicappers tend to use more bladed irons that are forged, offer more feel and control but less forgiveness.
You'll know how good or perhaps not so good your ball striking tends to be, so make sure you invest in a set of irons that matches where your game is out now, not where you'd ideally want it to be. We have great guides that go into more detail on this, so check out our guide on the most forgiving irons if you're a higher handicapper and our guide on the best irons for mid-handicappers.
Price
This will be a major factor in anyone's decision of what irons to go for. As you'll have seen in this list, the price can vary dramatically between irons. Typically, for a set of cavity back irons - those that provide most distance and forgiveness - you'll be looking between $600-$800 for a set of seven irons.
This obviously can fluctuate between brands, and we've highlighted in this list the ones we think give the best value for money in this category. The price jumps quite significantly when looking at the forged and bladed options - up to and above $1000 - but this is par for the course and you'll be getting a high quality, premium product in return.
Custom Fit
This is probably the most essential part of the iron buying process, no matter the irons you're after or how good you are at the game. A custom fit session will make sure you get the right flex and length of shaft, correct lie angle and correct iron head for your game, meaning you'll finish with the best golf clubs that are as suitable as possible for you out on course.
Custom fits can be a daunting process if you're a true beginner or you aren't that confident hitting golf balls in front of people, but they're a vital part of the club buying process.
