2019 Titleist T100 irons

[jrshelby]

I laugh when people say AP2 / T100 spin too much and don't go a particular distance when they are traditional lofts. The 34° 7 iron in the T100 gets compared to the T200 30° 7 iron (really a 6 iron) and the T100 spins too much whilst the spin on the T200 is the correct amount and goes 12 yards longer. Really can't figure it out. My coach says it's not how far, it's how close. AT the course I play, we put a premium on holding greens.

I'm pretty sure that the distance difference between the T200 and T100 is 95% loft. That said, the T200 felt really good to me and sure inspired a lot of confidence. The T100 also felt great, but I felt like maybe were not quite as forgiving and didn't have as much "pop" - but as to the "pop" I'm objective enough to recognize that's also probably 95% loft.

 

Going to be a really tough decision between those two. I have an actual fitting in a week that I am hoping helps clarify. If I had to guess right this minute, I'd probably go with the T200. And that's for a near scratch player with no distance issues. That's just a really solid set of clubs.

I would normally be in total agreement with you on this but in the case of the T100s and previously 716/718 AP2 they spun way higher than optimum for him. Like 1000 rpm plus above optimum and no matter what shafts he tried it made minimum difference. He is a really good young player (+1) and he much preferred the look and feel of the T100 but it was just not right. This was via 2 separate fittings with Trackman, off grass with top fitters. The T200 and KBS Tour X combo got him to around 6800 spin with its 7 iron and perfect launch/descent. Obviously how he delivers the club to the ball is different. Maybe he does not deloft/trap like others and the T200, extreme though it is, seems to really help.

No disrespect either I hope you know. We all deliver the club differently. I actually had 2 different titleist fitters disagreeing as I launch to ball to high with little spin. One fitter claimed I had a late release and the other said you can't turn the ball over the way I did with a late release so he said I had an early release which the other argued that's impossible with the launch I was getting.

 

[MattyO1984]

Supposed to hit them last night...work totally ruined that! Hopefully get the chance to rearrange later in the week.

[Big Bri]

Gosh i was about to order 718 cbs. I have ap2 in my bag right now and grew sick of the futuristic look. But now that ive read so many good things about t100, not sure what to do.

[mlecs03]

Had a fitting last night, and really liked the look and feel of these. I was fit into the ns pro 880 amc shafts and they were so much smoother than my current DG S300's.

I don't believe I gained that much distance over my current 712 AP2's, which was a little disappointing.

I didn't have any issues with too much spin, as I was seeing 6500-6800 with the 7 Iron.

[B_of_H]

I just looked at the specs on the titleist site for the t100 and I can't believe how far they've jacked up the lofts. 43 degree pw? that is a deal breaker for me most likely. > @MattyO1984 said:

ah, I was looking at the wrong line. same specs as the ap2 makes a lot more sense.

If you’re going that direction, the T100 are way better than the CB in terms of spin.

My spin never creeps into the 7’s with my 7iron and I was about 6800 with the T100 and 7800 with the CB, which lead to a full club less distance with the exact same shaft and loft.

Someone help me decide between T100 6-PW/T200 4 and 5 iron combo set or P760/790 combo set. Forever played Titleist until using Mizuno this summer for a while. I can't decide...I like the T100 and P760 the same and numbers are all similar but leaning toward liking P790 > T200 in the 4 and 5 iron. Feel like I'd be happier with a T100/P790 combo set even though that's weird. Or just go 5-PW T100 and use U500 4 iron just not so sure I'm sold on using the 5 iron. Played AP2 5-PW and TMB 4 iron the past few years and that was a great setup.

I play 718 T-MB 3-5 and AP2 6-P

 

I’m quite annoyed I can’t “convert” to U500/T100.

The T200 might be a decent solution for 3-5. Bend 2 degrees weak for gap purposes and you lose most of the extra offset in the process. And if they really have improved the feel vs AP3 that would be a bonus. The T-MB feels better than AP3, but it's still nothing like a forged head. The T200 might be better than both in that respect? The T200 topline would still be an issue, but I think the topline on the U500 is thicker than the T-MB as well (not 100% sure on that).

[maowv]

Had high hopes for the new Titleist lineup but having a hard time trying to create a hybrid set of T100 8-PW with T200 the rest of the way. The lofts are too spread apart and the tech makes the yardage gaps impossible. Hit all of these and they don't feel as good as the 718 AP2 IMO. Just not impressed with this new line. Itching for new irons but it won't be Titleist for the next few years.

[tubeampnut]

I got my new T100's on Tuesday and immediately ran to my club's range. Compared to my old Cobra King Forged Tour irons, the T100's are a tad smaller in size with a thinner top line. The T100's go about 5 yards farther I'd guess due to a hotter face (The Cobra loft is a tad stronger as well). The sound on the T100 is superior. I could work the Cobra a bit more and get more shape from the shot as T100's seem to want to go straight (shaft, grip and lie angle are the same). The T100 also stops quicker (7-iron compared)

 

Super happy with the acquisition!

What’s your handicap?

I don't understand why you cannot do what you want. The specs are the exact same. I went from T-MB 4-iron and 5-9 AP2 718 to U500 4-iron with 5-9 T100. The lofts on all are the same. What did I miss?

I don’t think they made a U500 5 iron

[Brennanf]

Nice lines for a titleist club.

[revanant]

I had the chance to hit the new t100 this week. Really love the new look—the topline looks great and reminds me heavily of the CB.

 

Spin was a little low, surprisingly, but I didn’t get to play around with a lot of options. Was only getting around 6100-6200 rpm in the 7 iron. I had higher spin numbers in the 718 AP2, closer to 6.5k.

 

My swing was admittedly a bit off during testing. Had a few good strikes that gave me my expected distance and ball speed, but I definitely got to test out the AP2’s forgiveness. : )

[Jeffyr11]

Great looking set of clubs. Thinking of going with:

Titleist U500 4 iron

Titleist T100 5-9

Vokey 46.10

[youngunz5840]

Hit these today at golf mart on go quad. They only had the Amt black s300 in +1” so launch and spin came in super highly 24* and 7300rpm. I’m not too worried about that as I know a different shaft and strengthen these to my normal specs will help.

I love the look at address and the feel is just want I am looking for. I also liked the turf interaction with the new leading edge. I might be selling the apex pro 19 smoke soon and getting a set of these. Titleist took the 718 cb and threw in the ap2 forgiveness and distance on these.

[CORN]

Anyone got the T100 offset numbers?

[Big Bri]

How are they compared to 718 ap2s in terms of forgiveness? I know the look is more blade looking but cant find the definite answer. Some people are saying they are more forgiving but others disagree.

Debating between the two right now. Also are 718 ap2 fully forged or cast+ forged like t200s. I know t100 is all forged.

VERY forgiving from my perspective... and I've been told there is more tungsten in the T100 than any iteration of AP2. Titleist, and any vendor for that matter, wouldn't release a new model with it better in every aspect; well so I would hope anyway! The new pre-worn leading edge makes turf interaction more forgiving as well.

Yeah it's quite the difference in combo sets since AP2 sits right in the middle of T100 and T200. Was dumb for me to assume the T100s were going to be like the AP2 but turns out to be just a lower spinning CB. I'm still annoyed that I didn't get a 720 AP2 that was identical to 718 but with a thinner topline and sole.

What shaft and loft would be your normal for these to bring that launch and spin down? I had to go 1 deg strong in AP2 so trying to decide if I need to do the same with these.

[Tugu]

I consistently read about people complaining about strong lofts. Imagine moving CG lower and deeper to make an easier to hit iron without strengthening the lofts, the ball would just balloon.

 

These are what the modern irons look like, hotter faces, lower/deeper CG and more weight on the perimeter. Would everyone be happy if we simply changed the number from a 5 to a 4 for instance? People can't seem to accept the modern game is as much about descent angle as spin when holding greens.

 

This reminds me of when oversized tennis racquets came into vogue. The hue and cry over that changed when they realized that one still had to rely upon their skill.

I've emailed Titleist - will post here if i get a response.

 

Thinking of ordering:

Either U500 3i or U510 2i 1deg weak

Titleist T100 4-pw - 1deg weak

Vokey 51,55,61

 

[THEROLLER]

 

[er1cchandler]

Awesome - thx.

looking at the 3i for T100 it appears to have 3.6mm of offset.

to me, the u510 2i (at 3.7 offset) would 'blend' better than the u500 (at 2.2mm)
