Titleist T350 irons

[KRCGolf]

I may be the odd ball that is more interested in them than the T150 and T200 irons, but has anyone hit them or had much feedback on them?

[goin'low]

I’ve picked up a 5i and I like it, basically use it off the tee and can get up to 230 total yards. I’m waiting on a 4i to be delivered as well

I recently purchased a set of T350’s after gaming a set of 2021 T300’s for the last year or so and absolutely love them. I can’t make a direct comparison though, as my T300’s were bought off the shelf, where my T350’s were custom after a Titleist fitting. The 350’s do feel and look much better though,  and I’ve gained about a club length through the set while hitting the ball higher with a much improved descent angle. 
For me it was worth upgrading, as if I’d have changed shafts and regripped the cost wouldn’t have made sense opposed to selling the 300’s and purchasing the 350’s set up as I needed.

What shaft do you have in the T350's, and what shafts were in the T300's?

[Tiptx1122]

Well I might be odd as I went with the T-350's over the T-200's. I could easily game them but the T-350's to me made the biggest improvement especially when it comes to looks compared to the previous T-300's. Everything about them makes me glad I made the purchase. Very forgiving, plenty of distance, nice feel, really like the looks and so easy to hit goes high but with a penetrating flight. I'm coming from Mizuno's JPX 923 HMP both sets have the Aerotech shafts Regular soft stepped. HMP's had i95's and the T-350 have the i80's. Not any longer than the HMP's but more forgiving and easier to hit. HMP's are some great irons as I wanted to try out Titleist as it's been close to 8 years since I last played Titleist. The T-350's check all the boxes that I want out of a set of irons so I really don't think there is anything odd about going with them over the other T- Series as Titleist has done a very good job with this Series of irons regardless of what model you play.  

 

I've only played them for 4 rounds as each time I go out I'm hitting several shots thats puts a big smile on my face that has other friends that I'm playing with ask me about them. They aren't cheap OK I know but if you want to miss out in playing some exceptional forgiving irons and wait 2 years from now you may get them a little cheaper. Out of all the other brands to come out with newer models Titleist was an easy choice for me. Titleist doesn't come out year after year with new irons which is another reason why I like them. The brand / reputation is well proven to stand the test of time as the craftsmanship/quality is top notch as I'm sure the other series perform just as nice as they look too.

Had a hard time relegating my excellent performing G430 to our home in the PNW, heading back to FL. Now my garaged HM 923s will most likely be the trade victim of either the T350 (or T200 if I suddenly feel I am better than I am....not!) Either way we all go we are in Game Improvement heaven with all the great stix available...

I had AMT black R flex in the T300’s. Now that I’m 70 y.o. I was fit for the Tensei red graphite in A Flex. Never thought I’d get graphite shafts in my irons and definitely didn’t think I’d be using A flex, but couldn’t argue with the numbers. I am hitting them much higher than the old set with further distance. I’m averaging 155  yards with my 7 iron and stopping it on the green, so very happy with the entire set, as it’s allowed me to get the most out of my slower swing speed.

You actually crush the ball for a 70 year old...That's impressive

[Phebus]

If I only had a better short game, lol. I need to spend more time chipping and putting. I once had  a low single digit handicap, now playing to an 11, but from the white tees. 

[lambo428]

I've owned owned 718 AP1, '21 T300 steel and T300 graphite and each of these sets went left - left - left.  For me, offset is the enemy so I tried the '21 T200 = much fewer lefts on-course and much more accurate with great stopping power.

 

The '21 T100s was just as good with better feel than either T300 or T200 but I was less consistent with it.

[Lefty87]

Does anyone know the VCOG measurement for the T350’s? This is something I always look at as my miss is low on the club face.

Ya know I think 70 is the new 50. I just turned 62 and I'm playing and scoring better now than I ever have in the past 36 years. Driver is going 230-240 and 7 iron is ~155. Those distances are pretty close to equal what I hit 30 years ago and the accuracy is much better.  I'm shocked playing with 20 and 30 year old guys and being the longest in the group. Equipment for sure has made a big difference. These T350's are a different breed. I've never hit irons with so much height that travel that far. It's like voodoo magic, but I'm loving them. 

[Ripken08]

These were the one of the heads I narrowed it down to in my fitting yesterday.  Focused on ZX4s, T200s and I asked to hit the T350s.  I was trying to find the best steel and graphite options to fit me as I moved to graphite last year and have been inconsistent.  At the end of the day, the T350s were the winners with the trusty Nippon NSPRO 950s and Kuro Kage 85s.  And then in our chat after the fitting, the fitter felt bad because the KK 85 was in his fitting cart and I hit it the best by far, BUT Titleist no longer offers that shaft!🙄.

 

Their site shows SFi80s as being similar.  @Tiptx1122 do you have feedback on the i80s?

Anyone try the 4 iron in the T350 as a driving iron? It’s 20* and I was smoking it on the simulator

[Tiptx1122]

I have had the best results playing SF’s as I recently switched from JPX 923 HMP that had i95’s to the T-350’s i80’s as both were soft stepped. I feel I have more control when I keep a normal swing or when I get more aggressive. SF’s help keep my dispersion tighter as well. The feel is nice, but it’s very subjective as all graphite‘s have a unique feel to them, but I think these play closer to the way a steel shaft performs.
When I played Recoils they didn’t perform for me as well when I got more aggressive with my swing. Accuracy with steel shafts very similar to my SF shafts. 

I was considering trying Fujikura Axiom Shaft but my fitter told me SF’s play just as nice as the SF’s are pricey but not like the Axioms. So sticking with my i80’s as they seemed to be a very good match with my T-350’s as for only having them since late August these perform just as nice as they look. Will have to wait and see how well they wear with that chrome look as that’s the only thing I’m still trying to get used too.

I was fit into the Kuro Kage 85 stiff also, albeit with the T300. They were in very short supply. I wound up installing Elevate MPH 95 Stiffs and Dynamic Gold 95 S300s.  I stuck with the DG95.

How do they launch? What steel did you used to play?

I was kinda bummed about it.  I am trying to get into graphite.  The Tensei Blue AMT2 stiff were also decent, but not as good as the KK 85s.

Check out Mitsubishi MMT 95 or 90S if you can find them

I'm getting some trackman numbers on that exact thing tomorrow.

let me know how your session goes. I finally compared it to the T200 utility and the U505 of the same loft and i was hitting the T350 longer and straighter. It was crazy

The 350 is the straightest iron I've ever played.  The 4 iron is two fold: off the turf with a normal swing it's money.  I can tee it up and go after it for extra yards and it's baller.

I have both sets - the Srixon ZX4 Mkii (Recoil SmacWrap 760) and the T350 (Tensei Red AM2) and they are both incredibly good. I prefer the firmer (clickier) feel of the T350's vs. the ZX4's, it feels like I'm compressing the ball more, but performance-wise they are nearly equal. Can't go wrong with either one.

[Ripken08]

TBH these are stupid priced with Steelfibers especially given the fact that the cosmetics won't hold up.  For $1700+ they should look new a lot longer than they will.

[Tiptx1122]

Everything with Steelfibers is stupidly overprice but so is LAGOLF and Axioms. Now mine will look new for a long time as I know they are tools not jewels but after every round I clean them and I do use head covers as why wouldn't I. If I didn't use irons cover what difference does it matter if they don't look new after 6 months as I could see them getting dinged up easily as that is with most forged irons. So as of right now the only thing that would get me to switch irons is if they start flaking, chipping and showing their wear quickly just from normal use as bag clatter is not normal use as that's a good way to get your irons beat up when riding a in a cart. Plus living in NE Ohio my golfing days are just about done till the spring. 

[Tiptx1122]

Just curious as winter is here so no golfing till 4 months from now how is the chrome holding up for those who plays them and are able to golf year around. 
Anyone experience any flaking and what is the durability for those who don’t use iron covers with bag clatter. I seen a picture of someone T-200 and they looked pretty beat up. I know they are tools not jewels but for me they are both. I know they play every bit as good as they look as I sure hope they don’t wear super quick

[Tiptx1122]

They must be holding up nicely as I was just curious what the outcome might be for someone who is able to play them year around.

[mtnbiker5]

Here’s what happened to my T350 on range yesterday.  Deplorable.   I know there’s been some chatter here on what the back “plate” is that they are now using.   It’s cheap plastic.  I still love the iron but wow.

 

 

Edited December 10, 2023 by mtnbiker5

[Tiptx1122]

Titleist should replace this iron for you no questions ask as this isn't good. Is this the only case as the is the 1st time I've heard of the back plate coming off. Now I'm thinking do I need to invest in another set of irons just in case I have to have something replaced because of a defect. I mean doesn't every one have more than 1 set. Thanks for the picture as I sure hope Titleist gets this fixed for you quickly
