Titleist T100 vs Srixon z785

Has anyone tried these side by side and have insight on performance, feel, forgiveness, etc? I’m currently playing the T100s with KBS Tour S shaft, but not entirely feeling those irons. I was checking out the z785 as it looks like there is slightly more club behind the ball, maybe added forgiveness, and have hit the stock Nippon Modus 120 S shaft which feels great. Thoughts?

Side consideration would be Mixuno JPX919 Forged - bit of a different category of iron though.

Thanks all!

I think the 785s are better clubs, more forgiving but a little bigger. Srixon's are also softer. Full disclosure, I think the T100s are a little small for my liking.

Bump. Long time 785 player and I just ordered a t100s 7 iron to compare.

I'm a shallow swinger and feel like a little more sole will help my when i miss thin. Love my 785 though. No complaints - just wondering if there's more.

I have a T100S 7 iron and it is a nice club. But 785s are softer and I like the sole design much better on the 785s as well.

From an MOI perspective the T100 will be a bit more forgiving. Toe and thin strikes should perform a touch better. The 785 will feel softer, go through the turf better, and give you more confidence if you like a larger club.

T100- more moi. But smaller head. Forgiveness is a wash in my opinion. T100 better for shallow swingers, 785 for steeper swingers. Feel is subjective. Comes down to what you prefer to look down at basically.

Thanks for the advice. I also ordered a New Level 623 demo iron to try out as well. Lots of great options out there nowadays. Its a great time to be a golfer and I'm blessed that the courses in Houston never shut down.

Tried the z785 versus T100s 7 irons today. Unfortunately I didn't realize there was a difference and ordered NS Pro 105 instead of modus 3 105 for an even comparison. But I felt like I found the middle of the T100s more. The t100s was a little better for taking a divot for my thin swing. I couldn't tell much of a difference on mis hits to be honest, but I think the real test is going to be on the course, side by side. The T100s felt like pure butter on centered strikes. I am impressed but I don't see much of a flight difference yet. Have a 623 demo coming in tomorrow and can't wait to try it out. Would try the 901 from NL but it seems to be too much like my 785 to justify trying.

YMMV, but I typically only miss low on the face and keep it pretty centered, so I'm testing for that as the big difference between the sets.

This for sure. I have owned both and played extensively with each. Feel is a wash. 785 gave me those low spinners that flew forever where the t100 is extremely consistent. Better turf interaction for me with the t100 as well. Both are fantastic don’t get me wrong. I am hitting the t100 further but with more spin and better launch conditions so holding greens better. Both with modus 120 shafts too so pretty apples to apples.

That might be your experience and I may be way off here but I’m not buying that. There are quite a bit of 785’s on tour and few if any t100’s. I can’t imagine they would be playing clubs that give them inconsistent results.

I play CB’s and ordered a set of 785’s. Curious to see how they compare especially as I prefer a smaller head. There are a ton of 785 threads on here and this is the only one I’ve seen where the 785’s are not the preferred club but to each their own.

If you look at those threads there are a ton of comments about spin and getting some low spin flyers with the 785. Probably not the case for everyone but at least a few dozen of us have commented on it.

Not the case for me.

I do know comparatively the 785 are slightly lower spin, but shaft selection can fix that if its a problem. Never heard of flyer problems though, like what you hear about p790s. I gamed my 785 for almost a year and never had spin or flyer issues, but i play a slightly higher spin shaft (modus 105) and my swing speed is more modest than most here (100 with driver). And to respond to a few posts ago, my set starts with 5 iron and the z785 5 iron gets it in the air, no problem. In fact I probably flush that club more than my PW haha. I'm going to try the T100s again today and hopefully the demo new level blade will be in before I head to the range for more testing.

765 got fliers for me. Never get them with the 745 or 785. YMMV but the 785 is one of the most consistent irons for distance I've ever hit.

Srixons have always been lower spinning relatively but also keep in mind the lofts are stronger than the t100 too.
