How is the finish holding up on the T100 for everyone? JPX 919 Tours I had looked amazing at first with the more brush finish but started to look pretty dull after only a few weeks.

Mine still look amazing. Some folks have posted early wear in their irons but i clean mine religiously and they have stayed in great shape. There’s some minor faint scratching happening to some of the faces but that’s just part of playing irons. Happened to my mp20 mbs as well. Forged irons are soft and wear happens. I was worried from some posts about the faces scratching and changing their coloring. Nothing has happened on mine that isn’t out of the norm.

Got an order status update today. T100s went from "in process" to "not ordered". For context I ordered 8/20 and have since received the driver that was a part of that order. When it shipped the status update said "shipped". I sure hope this is just some input error and not some accidental cancellation thats going to somehow set me to the back of the line..

Just to be clear, I’m talking about their Carlsbad TPI facility. 

I want to correct myself after checking today. They do not offer this since 2020 anymore. So it doesn’t make a difference where you get fit or order. 

[drscott266]

for people who ordered through titleist direct do they charge at point of sale or when they ship?

[halfsumo]

I am pretty sure I was charged instantly.

Paying full retail and paying prior to shipping is insanity

Ordered 9/23 through Golf Galaxy --- T100s w/ C Taper X stiffs and mid size tour velvet -- update I got today was that they are just waiting on heads, likely mid december.

 

Interesting side note -- the guy was telling me their ping rep was just in the store and told them not to expect any new bags, at all, in 2022.

Same here. Attached is my 9-iron which is the most used in my bag so far. After about 5 rounds and range sessions, there’s some minor dings and scratches but nothing that is offensive or really bothers me. It’s expected with just about any forged heads that are as soft as these unless you are OCD and using iron covers for each and every shot. For those it does bother, then forged heads are probably not for you 😉

Got the same thing - had my proshop call - it got delayed again but order was not cancelled.  Magically the status is updated again.  I ordered mine on August 4th and at the time of the fitting was told they would be delivered before the retail launch (august 26th).  It’s kinda laughable and no proactive approach from titleist - the date slips further every time they call (because I can’t call anymore - as there policy changed).  I play titleist all thru the bag and this may be it for me - as they are saying late November at the earliest.

I was wondering about the bag front. I went ahead and ordered the Vessel Player III as soon as it was available.

I’ve been playing golf since 1983 (I’m 43 now) and I have never had such an amazing equipment experience ever like I had today. 
 

I’m a Titleist fanboy and have normally early access to new stuff. I did “fitting” in July but a basic one, range balls on mat. I tested T100/T100s and T200. 
 

Last two years I’ve been playing T100 with AMT White s300 in stock spec. Even though I’m a decent player with hcp 2.1 I felt two things this year. I wanted something a little bit more forgiving and also take the step to AMT x100 (but soft stepped) since I tend to over-draw the ball. And as a reference I play Smoke 6.5 in all woods. 
 

I ordered a set of T200 4-P and a set of T100s with AMT White x100 SSx1. 
 

Got the T200 set two weeks ago, tried it for a week and then sold it. Why you can read about in the T200 vs U500 thread under “Equipment”. As a summary I didn’t like anything about that club, especially the offset. Shaft felt great though. 
 

T100s is still not delivered even though pre-ordered in July. 
 

Today I found a stock set of new T100 with AMT White s300. I thought, what the heck, it’s soon to be winter here in Sweden and I really want to test T100 series this year, so I bought it and went immediately to the practice area since it was as good weather it can be here now (+10 Celsius and sunny with no wind).

 

I’m not a big fan of thrusting Trackman numbers on a short fitting that is not on the course in a real environment. This Practice area are real holes you can play, but hit as many balls as you like.  
 

The main two things I’ve been skeptical about with T100 series is the turf interaction since I really liked the pre-worn edge on old T100, and the fact they made these irons to spin more. As a high launch, high spinn guy that didn’t sound very good. 
 

But MAN these iron feel good on real grass. I’ve never been more impressed by turf interaction, it was heavenly good. I was blown away that it could be such a difference. I was hitting every second shot with my old T100 with same specs to compare. And the feel in the new T100 is nothing short of outstanding! 
 

But this wasn’t the thing that blew me away the most. I was afraid of the spinn, that’s why I ordered T100s. 
 

With the new T100, and I can’t explain why, I hit the ball constantly 1/2 to 2/3 clubs longer than my old T100. Same shafts, same specs, just longer with better turf interaction and better feel. No need for T100s for more length, no need to mess up the wedge gaps! 
 

And what about forgiveness? For sure no need for T200, T100 is as forgiving for me! And in the perfect visual package. 
 

I was at the practice area for several hours with just a large smile on my face and constantly saying “This isn’t happening”. 

 

It’s the greatest equipment experience I’ve ever experienced - and I’m a equipment geek deluxe buying everything new coming out…

 

Old T100 is sold, wish I only could cancel my T100s order, I for sure don’t need it. (Can’t cancel custom orders in Europe). 
 

What a day - what a club release from Titleist! 👏🏻😍

I’ve mentioned this somewhere before. But if KBS is your shaft company, buy a set of T whatever you want and send them to KBS and have them install new shafts. It’s done through their tour department, in less than a week, and they are freaking awesome. I have the T100’s and they are the best clubs I’ve ever hit in 30 years of playing golf. Long, forgiving, and beautiful. (I had the tour spec stiff Tour V’s installed.)

I'm a couple rounds in with my new T100 irons.  I agree with the last few posters that these are just solid, great feeling irons.  I've been playing 716 mb's for the last 3-4 years and wanted to maintain a similar look at address but add some forgiveness.  The short irons in the T100 appear nearly identical at address, the long irons are slightly chunkier but look really clean.  The turf interaction is exceptional, the feel is wonderful.  I gained at least 5 yards on all my irons going to the T100 and I'm still dialing that element in with gapping but so far I absolutely love these irons.  Also, the forgiveness factor is strong in the T100 irons.

I got a hold of titleist and they didn't have an answer for why my clubs status updated to "not ordered" but they did still have my order on file and informed me it went into production and should ship within the next 7-10 days. Woke up to a surprise notification email that my clubs have shipped! Due to arrive early next week. t100s project X 6.0 1* upright, standard grips.

I have 2 rounds with these and just going to go ahead and stick with my TC 201's. They are great performers but so are my TC 201's and just not really much difference so either going to return these for full credit or if someone wants them to save the manufacturer delay, hit me up.

Thanks buddy!

 

Feel is subjective but very similar, for me. Turf interaction is also about the same. I seriously wouldn't know the difference if I was blindfolded.....

Finally got my u505 out to the range. I had a terrible day swinging with all my clubs so I can definitely speak to how forgiving the u505 is. I got the 3 with Tensei White 90x. Very forgiving and straight with a mid-flight. The few center strikes I had felt explosive in a good way. The off-center shots felt pretty bad, to be honest. Real clanky and hand stinging, but I was swinging it terribly today and even my wedges felt harsh so will chalk it up to me just being bad at golf. Performance was outstanding for such poor strikes and swings. I will probably swap this in and out with the 5 wood. I feel like this thing has so much more control and accuracy than the 5 wood and for me off the deck was definitely a playable trajectory. I was laughing out loud at how consistent it was flying with poor strikes. If I can just figure out how to find the center of the face a bit more consistently this will be a nice addition to the top end. Likely just be a ball position thing.

Glad to see a u505 review. I’m still waiting on mine with a hzrdus smoke black RDX shaft, along with a 100s/200 combo. Hoping it works as well as my previous SIM UDI.

Man I want to order a T200 4 and 5 iron but seeing the delays everyone is having, I really don’t want to deal with it.

At this point I would rather buy off-shelf or from here than waiting for ever. I just heard update that My order has been delayed another 6 weeks …..

I’m semi fortunate that the original T100s fit me off the rack without needing any tweaks. I just mainly want to get the 4 iron upgraded

[car1]

I will be listing a new t200 4 iron x100 on the BST in a couple days. I ordered 5-pw t100 and 4 t200 on 8/2. I’ve had the t200 for over a month and may end up canceling the t100 order.

Well Titleist told me last week that it was mid-november on the Tsi3 woods I ordered along with my t-100 set which is 'hopefully early-mid december', but the woods just shipped.... seems a bit chaotic over there at Titleist HQ lol but I do think they are being conservative on the wait times which I appreciate, nothing worse then being promised something in 2 weeks when they know damn well it could be 7 weeks

Another couple days with the u505. The standout thing for me with this club (unfortunately a negative) is that anything slightly high on the face feels super harsh and can be jarring and hand-stinging. The fact that the face is shallower, especially toward the heel makes it very easy to hit high on the face for me. I haven't played a utility iron since the original Apex UT, so not sure if this is a common thing for utility irons. 

 

That said, for my swing, I figured out playing it a bit farther forward and more of a sweep and it is fantastic. Super hot off the face and just mid-flight bullets. I really like it, just have to remember ball positioning. Also, most of the bad feeling shots still perform really well.

I had always been a PING player - always. I got frustrated with weight times, and traded the motherload of clubs I had and got the T200s with AMT black shafts. Frankly, I could not be happier. I find the feel to be great; maybe that is a result of coming from PING. I am able to flight them as I wish, and with regard to on course playability, have been very happy. I have enjoyed the workability, and the irons banged around in my bag and had no damage. Really happy with these.

Ping wait times vs Titleist? Umm...
