The T100 is the modern Tour iron in the T-Series range. It’s popular on elite circuits because of the compact profile, a soft yet solid feel and the workability it offers. In testing, it was clear that it's 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.
Aesthetically, then, it is very pleasing and, when we struck the T100, it was clear to feel 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 enters quickly but has been shaped to get out just as fast - creating satisfyingly crisp and well-formed divots that are easy to replace.
Where we felt the T100 stood out though, especially in the low handicap department, is the split tungsten weighting inside a dual cavity, which has been refined for 2023 to be more precise. This meant it had a soft yet solid feel with an element of forgiveness. It’s arguably one of the more stable tour played irons out there and, while it’s not built to be especially user-friendly, there is some help at hand.

The new T150 bridges the gap between the player's T100 iron and the more distance-orientated T200 iron. It does this 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. Also, there's a muscle channel behind the face filled with a polymer to give it a more lively feel along with a softer sound.
It's worth noting that the T150 has stronger lofts and, at impact, it felt heavy to hit, with the two D18 tungsten weights, which sit in the dual cavity behind the bottom portion of the face, producing 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.
In our opinion, low handicappers for whom iron play is a weakness will appreciate the extra size of the T150 as well as the forgiveness. Sound-wise, it isn’t harsh or clicky and is much closer to a fully forged club than it is a hollow headed distance iron. Versus the T100, the T150 went higher and had a little more spin for us, which helped it fly in the window we wanted.

The T200 continues to be Titleist’s main offering in the compact mid-handicap iron space, providing plenty of speed without the chunky looks. In this year's model, Titleist has re-engineered the Max Impact design feature to make the head more stable, while the polymer back plate has also been reconfigured to better manage the vibrations that occur when the forged face strikes the ball. In testing, these changes led to a hard feel which, depending on your preferences, will suit.
Furthermore, the looks are slightly better than its predecessor's, with the T200 looking a tad more sleeker and modern. However, in our testing, there weren't major gains over the older model, with one of the slight differences being the forgiveness. There’s more tungsten in the head now and it extends further towards the heel so, when we struck the ball off-centre, it was still preserving our ball speed and flight.
Although this is a very solid iron, our conclusion is that there is certainly potential to mix up this iron with the T150 iron to provide the added speed and forgiveness in the longer clubs where this iron excels.

The T350 continues to be Titleist’s main game improvement iron offering and, in terms of design, this brand new 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. The Max Impact technology also sits a little higher and, coupled with the dual taper forged face, should feel more solid and stable over the previous iteration.
So, how did all of this technology do in testing? Well, quite quickly, we were able to deduce that it felt the fastest of the new range and also had the loudest sound at impact,. Consequently, it added to the feeling of power, with the springy feel off the face coming from a wide range of area. Importantly, when we struck the ball low off the face it still delivered good launch and speed.
Down at address, the T350 has a noticeable amount of offset, but it's the generous footprint that will appeal to a wide range of golfers. What's more, it does this without having a chunky sole or thick top line. There's no doubt that the T350 slots in amongst some of the very best distance irons capable of combining speed and playable trajectories with an explosive feel.

The Titleist T400 iron has been designed to be the longest iron in Titleist’s popular T series, as well as one of the most forgiving irons on the market. It has the strongest lofts in the Titleist range, but the launch is not compromised because when we tested the iron it produced a strong, high ball flight.
Featuring a split sole design, for us it delivered smooth turf interaction, while a super-thin face and hollow head are fortified by high-density tungsten weighting making this a powerful and supremely forgiving iron.
What's more, the set is progressive with blade lengths, sole widths and hosel lengths, which decrease towards the shorter irons. Overall, we think the T400 is a great game improvement iron and one of the best distance irons out there that will really help higher handicappers get the most from their games.

We think the Titleist T300 is undoubtedly one of the best game improvement irons available. To begin, in our testing it offered strong forgiveness, distance and feel, whilst the max impact technology remains and has been improved aesthetically because Titleist has taken the extra tungsten weighting and hidden it. Consequently, this technology allows the face to be thinner, thereby improving launch, speed and feel.
Along with the technology above, it has a gentle offset, which means this iron will appeal to a wide spectrum of players seeking forgiveness and distance. In testing, we found it produced a noticeable jump in distance compared to the Titleist T200 and the dispersion was excellent too. Additionally, they are very easy to hit.
We believe this is a great option for improving players seeking a little more distance and consistency – A distance machine with a classic look, and one of the best game improvement irons out there just now, it earns a spot on our Editor's Choice Awards for 2022.

The T200 has been made smaller overall to give a sleeker look - specifically, the blade length has been shortened and the offset reduced to match the new T100. From the back, the cavity has been enclosed by a polymer cap that has a metallic appearance to match the rest of the head, making it look like a hollow head
For any low handicapper that isn’t the best ball striker, or a keen golfer in the low teen handicap range, the T200 would seem to offer the ideal blend of performance attributes. However, better players should certainly consider following the Tour players lead and adding the T200 model in the long iron slots in their bag (or as a utility iron too) because of the extra playability it affords versus the T100 irons.
Where this club stands out from the T100s is the more powerful feel, but also the forgiveness. It feels a lot more stable overall and the margin for error is certainly a lot greater here, which enhances your confidence over the ball and the dispersion of your shots, making it one of the best compact mid-handicap irons on the market.

The T100 is an iron for the low handicapper seeking a classic compact shape whilst still benefiting from a degree of forgiveness. They feature traditional players’ iron lofts in a forged cavity construction, whilst the face is thin and responsive and the use of tungsten weighting in the 3-7 irons boosts off-centre strike forgiveness.
At address, it actually looks like the old Titleist 718 CB model. This is thanks to being a bit more compact on the top rail. However, we felt there was even more forgiveness on offer to rescue a poor strike and it feels noticeably solid and soft at impact, with the extra camber on the sole helping it glide through the turf a little more easily.
We very much enjoyed the T100 in testing and particularly found the longer irons easy to hit with good launch, consistent ball speeds and tight dispersion. Overall, this is a good, compact iron for better players looking for a blend of control and consistency.

The Titleist T100s iron provides the looks and feel of a Tour-level iron, but with extra distance due to two-degrees stronger lofts than the T100. They are configured in such a way that it ensures turf interaction isn’t compromised.
Down at address, the T100s certainly looks like an iron that should be in the hands of an accomplished player. This is due to its thin topline and compact overall size, which may put off some players looking for more distance.
It's worth noting that it shares many of the same design features as the T100, including the heavier tungsten weights, but also boasts a Muscle Channel in the longer irons that increases ball speed and launch while preserving control and stopping power. Overall, this is an excellent and compact iron for better players looking for a blend of control and consistency.

The Titleist 620 CB irons have been designed with lower handicap golfers in mind and offer a classic look that comprises of a compact head with a narrow sole and minimal offset. In terms of our look at the best Titleist irons, this one is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing.
A thinner topline and tungsten weighting in the 3 and 4 irons give a degree of forgiveness and strategically located Centre of Gravity locations throughout the set help to deliver great workability as well as responsive feedback.
In testing, we found the mid and short irons particularly soft to hit and we were able to shape the ball nicely. Overall, the 620CB will suit a better player looking mostly for feel and control with just a little extra forgiveness thrown in.
Titleist’s real player’s iron, the 620MB is a one-piece forged muscleback that delivers sleek and simple looks as well as tremendous feel and feedback. One of the best golf blade irons we tested, the muscleback design produces a Tour-proven flight that is workable and controllable.
What's more, the Centre of Gravity locations have been designed to allow for shot-making and to deliver responsive feedback and, when hit off the face, we found it to be supremely smooth with a penetrating ball flight. It has to be said, 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.

The Titleist U505 utility iron is designed to be a hybrid that looks and plays like at iron. It certainly follows those ethos with a deep head that is one of the largest in the category with plenty of offset in the hosel to increase forgiveness.
It's not the cheapest utility iron out there but the design reflects this with an internal tungsten weight and a wide sole that draws the CG back to ensure easy launch. It also comes with a wide range or lofts combined with plenty of steel and graphite shaft options so you should get a specification that is worthy of the investment.

How We Test The Best Titleist Irons
Our testing for golf irons is built upon a comprehensive process combined with the knowledge and expertise of the Golf Monthly test team. As far as the specific procedure goes, before testing, the team will usually attend product launches and meet with the manufacturer's R&D experts to understand the new technology.
When it comes to testing, we often head indoors first to try the irons in a controlled environment. This usually takes place on an indoor simulator at Foresight Sports, with premium balls and the GCQuad launch monitor. Our outside testing normally takes place at West Hill Golf Club, a course with top-notch practice facilities.
We think it is vitally important to do both and continue to test the irons so they have been comprehensively put to the test in different conditions. It should also be mentioned that manufacturers cannot pay for a good review and we make our conclusions from the testing and our experiences. This is because we strive to give the best reviews possible so you can get a greater understanding of the irons themselves.
