We just finished our Titleist 2023 T-Series Irons review. Wow we are impressed. The new T-Series Irons focused improvements on look, sound and feel. And we validated that they nailed it with their new forgings. And, the T-Series includes lower CG, precision metal forging and more. The playability and workability of these irons is impressive.
Methodology: In our testing, we normalize our results as best as we can using Trackman a temperature controlled Indoor Practice Facility at 5280 feet and 72 degrees. Further, we use the same shaft across multiple heads to normalize club performance for testing. Notably, there are loft differences between 6-iron models - we do not change lofts in our testing. See Titleist T-Series specs for standard lofts.
Results summary: The Titleist T-Series irons are ripe for creating combo iron sets. The top line of the T200 is slightly wider than the T150, and T150 slightly wider than the T100, while the overall head size between all three is nearly identical. The T350 is a noticeably larger head with a wider top line and more offset. The T350 is a high-performing, forged, game improvement iron that mid- to high-handicap players should absolutely consider.
Med High Swing Speed Test – 80-90 mph club speed
Pairing the Titleist T-Series with a Fujikura AXIOM 125X shaft, every T-Series model produced more distance and more consistency than the benchmark 718 AP2. Notably, the 718 AP2 with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts produces a very tight dispersion because they were precision built.

About the T100, T150 and T200 Models
The T100 and T150 irons generated an average of 6 more yards than the 718 AP2, and comparably 3 more yards than the 2021 Titleist 620CB. The lower CG and spin control of the new face is blatantly apparent. And, the T100 generated noticeably more spin, about 10% more than the T150 (by design), producing average spin rates of 4900 rpm. The T150 generated roughly 4400 rpm spin, partly due to the lower loft (6-iron at 28° vs. 30° in the T100). The 718 AP2 also generated 4900 rpm spin.
The T200 produced some interesting results but felt absolutely fantastic. Definitively, the T200 is a lower spin, higher launch club ideal for mid-handicap golfers. The consistency is off the charts, producing just a 1.6 yard delta on carry distance; although the carry distance was 3 yards shorter than the T100. Consequently, the total distance from the T200 6-iron was 4 yards longer. IMPORTANT: With a precision-built set from D’Lance Golf, we optimize your spin, launch and carry distance for irons.
- Look: Subtle differences in the top line of the T100, T150 and T200 and overall club head size is identical. And, the back of the T200 is not visible at setup.
- Feel: The buttery feel of precision forging came through in the 620CB, T100, the T150 and T200. Subtle feedback was still apparent in each with mishits felt most in the T100 and 620CB.
- Sound: Consistently, the 620CB, T100, and T100 had a crushingly soft sound at impact while the T200 produced a slightly higher pitched contact sound, likely from the enclosed cavity back.
About the T350 Model
Lastly, the T350 is a powerhouse of a club with the soft buttery feel of a forged-head. Even with its larger overall head and thicker top-line, the T350 sets up very well. It generated another yard of carry, primarily due to the lower CG and lower loft (6-iron at 26°). And at a spin rate of 3800 rpm, it rolled another 20 yards.
About the 2021 620CB
While we primarily tested against the Titleist 620 CB as a benchmark with the Axiom 125X shaft, the 620 CB was also a top performer. It generated similar spin rates of 4800 rpms as the T100. And, at a loft of 31°, carried within 3 yards of the T100. Impressively, the 620 CB had a variance of 0.9 yards in carry and generated a smash factor of 1.37.
Precision Built Titleist 2023 T-Series Irons
We discovered that the entire T-Series line of irons for 2023 is a safe bet, whether building a complete set or taking advantage of a combo set. It is very important to ensure that you’re getting the optimal launch, landing angles and spin rates from the shaft. And, the shaft is key to tighter shot dispersion. Instead of shopping off the shelf or settling for limited shaft options from the manufacturer, and guessing at the right shaft and flex, get started with our online club fitting. And trust your precision iron build to the experts at D’Lance Golf - it's our Secret Sauce . Your golf game with thank you for it.
For me personally, a 7-handicap player, I would build a combo set of a T100 PW - 7-iron, a T150 6- through 4-iron and a T200 Utility 3-iron with the AXIOM 125X shafts and a flex around 5.7 (R+). Here's to throwing more darts into the greens.
