Technology
The Titleist T100 irons feature a forged dual cavity construction for the ideal combination of modern engineered performance and solid forged feel. Each club is precisely made for a specific purpose. The 3-iron through 7-iron features a forged body and forged SUP10 face design that is thinner than ever with a higher COR rating which means more speed and more distance in your long game. The 8-iron through wedges are fully forged from 1025 carbon steel for the soft feel and control golfers want in their short game.
Titleist used more dense D18 tungsten weighting in the 3 through 7 irons so they could concentrate more mass to precisely locate the center of gravity in each club head. This tungsten in the heel and toe make the club head more stable and forgiving where you need it.
The new version of the T100 irons features Titleist’s brand new sole design. Using what they call a variable bounce design, Titleist reduced the amount of bounce in the heel and increased the bounce in the toe for better turf interaction and improved feel. In keeping with that theme, Titleist’s continuous face construction provides a more uniform leading edge and a seamless striking area for even better performance.
The Titleist T100S irons share the same DNA and shape as the T100 irons, just made faster. Every club is 2° stronger in loft and they added an engineered Muscle Channel on the back of the club head. By backing the forged face with this Muscle Channel, the T100S irons feature faster ball speed and high launch while preserving the touch and control you need.
Performance
We tested the performance of the Titleist T100 and T100S irons with the help of Rick Hatfield. Rick is TGW’s Master Fitter and resident product expert. For both tests, Rick used a 7-iron.
The T100 7-iron has a loft of 34° and Rick’s average swing speed for this test was 82 mph. His average ball speed with this golf club was 111 mph and he achieved an average launch angle of 18.7°. With an average spin rate of 6,292 rpm, these irons produced plenty of spin to help hold the greens for Rick especially with his average descent angle of 44.7°. All together, Rick averaged 156 yards of carry distance with the T100 7-iron.
The T100S 7-iron has a loft of 32° and Rick’s average swing speed during this test was 82 mph. Compared to the T100 irons, Rick’s ball speed was a bit faster with the T100S at an average of 114 mph while his launch angle was just a bit lower at an average of 17.9°. He also saw less spin with the T100S at an average rate of 5,324 rpm. That increase in speed and decrease in spin added up to more distance as promised with an average carry distance of 165 yards.
Who It’s For
The Titleist T100 irons are best fit for more skilled, low handicap golfers. Players who want precise control, incredible feel, and a compact look will benefit most from this design.
The Titleist T100S irons are best fit for the more skilled golfer who wants the exact look and feel of a Tour iron but wants to hit the ball farther. These players will benefit from the added speed technology in these golf clubs.
Appearance
The Titleist T100 irons and T100S irons share the same look and design. These golf clubs are compact blades with a thin topline and minimal offset, made to the fit eye of more skilled golfers. Titleist also included a new Tour-preferred brushed chrome finish for a classic look down by the golf ball or in your golf bag.
Feel & Sound
The Titleist T100 and T100S irons both feel and sound soft and muted at impact just like you would expect from a forged golf club. Turf interaction is sharp and smooth as well. Titleist knows what more skilled golfers want their irons to feel and sound like and they nailed it with these golf clubs.
