Golf Monthly is the market leading golfing magazine in the UK. It's a lively and welcoming read that is targeted at good golfers who are regular players - and keen to get even better.
With over 100 years of heritage and authority behind it, it represents the real 'voice of golf' with leading columnists, top players and unrivalled coverage of equipment and instruction.
The T150 irons are aimed at the golfer who wants the look and feel of the T100 irons but with increased speed, distance, and forgiveness. The new refined Muscle Channel has been designed so it sits closer to the CNC milled face. This not only helps with ball speed, but the milling process has helped eliminate imperfections, giving the irons more consistency.
Titleist have introduced an ultra-dense D18 tungsten combined with a 2000° aerospace brazing process, giving the T150s a precision placed CG that helps give the irons greater MOI to its fully-forged design.
They have kept the shape, looks and blade length and offset of the T100, but increased the topline thickness and widened the sole, while making the lofts 2° stronger. The wider sole design has seen improvements to the variable bounce, which was also achieved by softening the trailing edge.
This is topped off with the Project X LZ shaft which stands for “Loading Zone Technology” that allows the player to load the shaft for increased energy transfer, increased feel and offers a lower launch with less spin.
Conclusion:
II loved testing the T150s over Heythrop Park’s, Bainbridge course. For me one of the big things I look for from an iron is the feel at impact, the strike, the sound and then the ball flight.
The feel, strike and sound at impact can tell you a lot about the quality of the metal that the club is forged from. The ball flight will tell you how good the technology used is, and even more information can be gained when you misshit a shot or don’t catch it out of the middle, because then you find out about the club’s consistency and forgiveness.
What I learned from those three days at Heythrop Park was that the T150s averaged around a five-yard gain in distance compared to my normal irons. I loved the design of the sole and the turf interaction and solid strike it gave me, the sound at impact and that my miss hit shots didn’t turn out as bad as I thought they would be as the ball left the club-face.
So, if you are in the market for a new set of bladed irons and you want the looks of a forged blade, but with some of the forgiveness and distance of a cavity-backed iron then I would definitely make sure you get the Titleist T150s in your hands before you make your final decision.
