Tour New 2021 Titleist irons (Updated w/ Links to in-hand photos)

[DCDeac]

Have any of the early adopter PGA guys gone T100s?  Seems like entirely T100 far with a few T200 long irons thrown in? 

[tsecor]

Just ordered the new t100-S in 7-pw

 

have to find my 5&6iron  blend.....i do not like the T200.....looking at Mizuno HMB which are the same lofts as the T200

T100= redressed 718cb

[halfsumo]

well, just impulse bought a u505 3 iron as I have not owned a utility iron in some time and almost picked up a u500 a few weeks ago. 😁

 

Hopefully, that is enough to scratch the itch.  I will hold out for the black finish T100 as long as I can.

The T100 is multi-piece head, I think the CB just had tungsten plugs. The S has the PING i210 type channel.

[meh]

Finally got to see them in hand yesterday. Short irons aren't clicky like the first version, if I didn't have 3 sets of irons already I'd get a set.

Shaft supply sounds like it’s an issue. Various KBS and True Temper shafts are back ordered. Hopefully it will get resolved but a launch date delivery doesn’t sound certain.

Quote regarding the 718cb: 

 

“In the 2 to 7 irons the forged 1025 carbon steel body features a small cavity hidden in the lower part of the muscle that is behind a thin High Strength Steel face insert.”

 

Sounds multi material to me, nearly exact construction to be honest. Im sure there may be some small aesthetic changes, offset, topline etc.

1* weak in the T100S would reduce offset and make that look fantastic!   Vokey worked the sole so more bounce in the toe and less in the heel.

Came here to ask the same question and was leaning this way. Appreciate the response. Thanks.

Hit the T100 today and just ordered 4-9, with SM8 46 and 51. Looks awesome, flights really well, and felt really solid. I'm excited!

 

Will hang onto my 716 TMB 3-iron for now, seems likely that I will order a T200 for that slot but want to first see what my real world T100 4 iron distances are and play around a little bit with potential shafts for the 3i. Not sure if I would go utility build or just go with a steel PX like the rest of my set and what I have played in the past. 

[PingGuy123]

Can someone give me some insight into what the difference is between T-100 and T-100s? Specifically want to know difference in feel and forgiveness. I hit the ball far enough so am interested in bending T-100s weak if it provides more forgiveness. 

[JStang]

I did it. I ordered T100’s (not s) after dropping my index 2 points after going to ZX7’s. This site is pure evil.

Would ordering heads only help? I have a set of Modus 120’s that I would swap in anyways. 

[youngunz5840]

Order t200 5/6 with t100s 7-p. Coming from zx5/7 combo. Love the Srixons but the feel and looks have me missing my t100 irons. This should be a good mix of the performance since I am a high launch and spin played with the t100s. I’m hoping the modus 120x isn’t ok back order like my last orders have been with Titleist. I told them no grips as that seems to be another pain point and I ended doing my own grips with wraps the way I prefer anyways

[nickosbad]

I'm seriously tempted by either the T100 or T100S (even though I only got my P7MC late last year)

 

The one thing that is a bit disappointing about the T100S is the fact that even the 9 and PW have 2' stronger lofts...it kinda makes the AW a must for anyone using a 52/56/60 setup

 

I've played this wedge setup for years and I have my yardages dialled in but can't be having an 8 yard gap between PW and 52 and I still need a 4 iron

 

A sneaky way of making people but an additional AW or Vokey in my eyes!

 

Still gonna try them but make me lean more towards T100 as I don't know which club i'd drop to accommodate the AW

good to know, I can’t decide T100 or T100S!

I don’t know why you would call the loft of the t-100S “disappointing.” Of course the t-100S in 9 & pw have 2 degrees more loft…that’s the point of those irons specifically. 
 

And, how is this “a sneaky way of MAKING people buy an additional AW or Vokey”? That’s a ridiculous statement. No one is making you to buy anything. It’s not an 8 YARD gap, it would be an 8 DEGREE gap in loft. Vokey recommends 4-6 degree gaps in loft. Not everyone plays your specific wedge setup. If you dont want to adjust your wedges, then don’t buy those irons. Stick to the regular 100. They are doing nothing sneaky at all. 
 

I currently play a 46/50/54/60 wedge setup. They fit perfectly with my original t-100 (I dropped my set pw for a Vokey) This go around, I ordered the 100S to gain a bit more distance as I’m getting older. When my t-100S comes, I’ll get on a launch monitor, figure out my distance gaps and have those wedges bent slightly to accommodate, if needed. They can go 1-2 degrees in either way. Not a big deal at all. If I have to drop one, so be it. Don’t have to go out and buy new wedges…until the SM9’s come out, lol. 
 

Good luck in you quest for the best setup for you! 
 

With respect!

I am also very tempted by the new T100S and will probably opt for 3-GW then 54 and 60 wedges, I also like the fact that there is a constant 2 degree difference thru the entire set because bigger differences in lofts would create bigger distance gaps, in my view going for the T100S with effectively a 5 wedge setup is just overkill and there is no need to have basically 2 gap wedges at 48 and 52 plus it would create un-necessary larger gaps at the top end of your bag, therefore either a similar setup to what I am considering with 4-GW or just the 4-PW then 50, 56 and 60 would also seem to make perfect sense to me.

I would definitely say to get a Vokey gap wedge as opposed to the set gap wedge. The Vokey will be way more versatile, accurate and consistent. Don’t forget that it’s also very easy to bend the Vokey wedges a degree or two to even out the gaps.

same design basically except the T100-S was designed, not bent, for 2 degrees stronger lofts. The sole is cambered a bit differently in the toe and heel and was actually designed by Bob Vokey as he brought in elements from his wedge line. This is huge as his wedges are world reknown as having the best soles in the business. the "S" also has the "muscle channel" which gets the ball up and promotes faster speeds. On average the "S" version is showing to be 9-11 yards longer in early testing.

the only difference is cast vs forged.....Vokey wedges are cast......still awesome, but some people want a forged club....

I would agree with this post. I have even gone one step further and pulled the set PW out of the bag and put a 46* Vokey in for my PW. I actually did Trackman testing and on course evaluation, but I am more accurate with the Vokey, hit it with more spin for stopping power and can work the Vokey with fade/draw better than the set PW.

I’ve known that forever. Most people have no clue and most people cannot tell the difference in “feel” when it comes to a Vokey wedge being cast. 99.9% of pros use a speciality cast wedge (i.e-Vokey) verses a set forged gap wedge for a reason. Many have even been swapping out the sets pw for a Vokey, and that trend is going up. Simply put, a Vokey is a better scoring tool.

So... Could it be a good idea to bend the T100s 2 deg weak to get hot, high launching irons !?

Especially if I'm a little steep the extra bounce wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

Or would too much spin become an issue?

[halfsumo]

I had the same question on the 100S. I am wondering because I would be hesitant to bend it more than 1 degree weak since it might affect all the thought that they put into the new sole. I need more launch AND spin, so stronger lofted irons are pretty much a no-go for me. 

 

As for the set gap wedge vs vokey gap wedge. I buy the vokey becuase it is cheaper and more easily replaced. I personally think a set matching GW would be better for me, though, since I really only use it for full swings. 

[LafFord]

I couldn’t take it anymore, 4-GW in the T100S it is, I’ll rebuild with some high launching graphite that fits me and play them from there. 

[B_of_H]

i'm thinking the t100 6-pw, then a t100s 5 iron bent a degree weak, then t200 4 iron.  I'll have to test them out but I think a little extra forgiveness over my current set would be nice.  The added launch of the t100s on the 5 iron would be interesting and the t200 at 22 degrees would be a welcome step up from my mmc 4 iron (which i love but a little higher launch and wider sole would be beneficial).

Greetings all! I ordered T100s 5-P on launch day. Curious from those with prior new product launch experience with the MFG if and how the direct order ship/delivery dates coincide with the 'release' date, if at all.  Cheers!
