Funny, I just bought T300 7-iron to PW.  I think they look fine at address, and they feel find with anything near centered contact.  I had bought G425 7-iron to PW earlier this spring, and the feel and flight of the T300 is measurably better.  How the back of a club looks is not important to me.  If it was, I would be playing my hickory irons more often.

Amen, back of club does hit the ball. It’s all what’s underneath the back of club or hood for car guys

I hope that the lofts stay the same as the T300.  My fear is that the T350 lofts stray toward the T400.

Not 100% positive, he mentioned I think the T200 not sure on the T350 that the lofts would be increasing 1/2*.

I heard a significant boost in price is to be expected in this year lineup.... anyone heard the same from reliable source too ?

I was almost about to order T300 for 800€ a few weeks ago and thought that would be stupid so close to the new irons launch.... but now, if the price is x1.5 the 2021 versions, I am not so sure ^^

I have to believe if the T300 cast iron is done with and replaced with the new forged T350 there will be a increse. As someone who has loved the AP1/T300 lines I hate to see it go away, people will now be able to blend sets with all forged models now. I only wonder if this means that Titliest is out of the cast iron market as of this August

I think you will find the T300 / T350 and T400 line to be plenty forgiving. Titleist has always had the "brand" of producing players clubs thou but at this point, their portfolio will suite anyone - same as for all major OEMs.

Do we know when these will be sent to fitters/available for pre-order?

Titleist makes the best game improvement irons. They look great and feel better than the competition since the 718 models

No absolutely not. They are just as forgiving as the other brands out there.

I think a T350 2 iron could just be the perfect driving iron.

I'm so anxious to see these in person. I have T100s now and I have been pleased with them for the most part. I'm leaning toward T200 in this release but the more I look at T350 I'm beginning to think about a 200/350 combo set. 

[Tiptx1122]

My Mizuno JPX 923's HMP are not going anywhere as all the big brands are pretty forgiving these days. It all comes down to looks and feel for most people as there isn't a brand that I can't mishit as some just don't punish you as much.

I need this release to get here. I rices out 10 different bag options with the current lineup. Then figured out how to order new lineup of irons when they come out.

Had about a 7 minute window to hit  and visually compare the new irons

T100, not much of a departure from the 2021 interns of looks and feel.  Pretty much the same iron.

T150, Slightly wider sole and a little more meaty on the back toe side, little thicker top line, pretty much head size heel to toe is the same.  Definitely more friendly on toe side hits, feel is still very good.

T200, much improved in the look and feel on the back.  Doesn't have that plastic ,tinny sound when you tap the back plate with your finger.  Feel is much improved, but I equate that to the sound being better.

T350, from the back side much, much improved.  As far as any difference in playability and looks, I didn't find much in it.  Just a very solid game improvement iron.

Something that struck me is the the Titleist fitter said he won't be surprised if a lot of people use the T350 instead of the usual T200  with a graphite shaft as a driving iron type.  Launches very easy.

As for me, I love my T100S but get punished pretty severely with a toe miss and I think with the little wider sole and the extra mass out on the toe of the T150 is going to be a little more forgiving and help out on that toe miss.  Probably will make that change.

This is really encouraging to me, I played the AP2 718 decently enough a few years back. When the T series came out, I had a combo of T100 and T100s and they were a bit much for me.   So last series, I had both the T200 and T300.   There were things I liked and disliked about both of those.    

 

Your description of the T150 has me really intrigued and sounds like it just might work for me.   But I also love hearing about the improvements to the T200 and of course the looks of the T350 look great in pictures.   I'll definitely hit all three in my fitting next week and see where I land.

I tried that route years ago with the Cleveland VAS 792, they didn't last very long

Really hoping for some more photos and spcs on the T350's.

 

I am a T100 player, but would love some added forgiveness most of the time.

I am afraid that the new T350 iron will be a combination of the T300 and T400, with more "help" than the current T300 and even stronger lofts.  This may have the effect of driving some prospective T300 customers to look at the T200.  I hope that doesn't happen. 

 

If that is the case, Titleist would be doing it as a result of positioning against other brands.  IF it does, it is because Titleist is positioned as a serious players club maker, and three irons in the T100 to T200 space sort of makes sense, with only one club in the game improvement space.

 

I will be playing Titleist irons for quite a while now because, at age 70, I really like the Fubuki MV IR shaft (senior flex).  I finally found a graphite iron shaft with feel that works with my swing.

Thanks for that image, @MattyO1984

 

What a great looking series.  Wonder when they will be available to retail order.  Probably moving from T100s to the new T100.

Titleist is fitting staff members.  I saw the new T200, and the back is metal. I compared the 6 iron versus my 2021 T200, blade length looks similar,  and the 2023 is noticeably slimmer.

How does the T150 compare to the new T200?

I just happened to be at the driving range.  I am not on staff and did not compare them.

I was supposed to see them yesterday but had to cancel due to a bit of an emergency.  I know what can be more important than seeing the all new Titleist irons 🙂    But I will be getting fit next Thursday and as someone who is probably more suited to the T350 than 150, I'll be sure and give a full report (and pics) on those.

Me as well.  I saw David Dusek's photos of all the the others in the GW email and he of course mentioned the Tour Trailer didn't have any T350's on it.   Can't imagine why...LOL   But I'll surely post in depth thoughts here afterwards

I am really interested in your judgement of whether the T350 is a love child of the T300 and T400, or whether it is a slight improvement of the T300.

 

I fear love child.
