I am hearing the T150 is now a players distance iron?

1 degree only matters if you are applying the same exact strike each time. Dynamic loft is much different than static loft so unless you are applying this exact loft at the strike point, these are just numbers....most amateurs do not apply the same dynamic loft on each full or half strike......This is way pros can be fit with such accuracy. Amateurs not so much.

shipping $85??? wow

Clarks ball moved during his shot prep and wasnt called,,,,,,,should have been a playoff with Rory

to save time and effort, juts buy the current Prov1......it does everything great.....

The CSX is an amazing ball too right below the Left Dot My top 5 balls are Left Dot CSX 2019 TP5 2023 V1 Tour RBX

Does anyone game one of these putters? I know nothing about them but the price is right for a forged carbon putter. i was going to buy another Mills but with the price increases, i may reconsider Grindworks putters

is the final list of balls for this test out yet?

SATIRE ALERT someone stated that the PGA will control holes 1-8 and 12-18 while the live guys get the others

The PGA should have just waited it out. LIV was gonna fold eventually but now the PGA has egg all over thier face and are no longer immune from tons of criticism.

good for you bro.....blades should be played by everyone....real golfers anyway...lol

TM did not release a new version in 2023 like many other manufacturers so the test will be with the 2021 version which has been tested already.

the fact there is no new TP5 / TP5X to test this year is a huge fail.....these may be the 2nd best balls on the market as Tony has mentioned in NPG......

The First Strike: Lee Hodges Tests NEW Titleist T-Series Irons

all this supports my postings from early on. Others were saying i was not giving credit to R&D people and blah blah blah.....i said it many times. Aesthetics play a huge role regardless of performance. It can be the MAIN driver in buying or designing new clubs. In fact the entire thread is basically about this very point. Totally agree with you.....the eye is HUGE for tour pros

i think Titleist missed the blending sweet spot with the T100-s and T200...which is why these two clubs are updated...to make the blending much better between the two clubs...which were truly much different than one another.......presumably the T150 will blend better with the new T200

Its more than an updated AP2, i agree I will call it a progression if you will. They (Spieth and Titleist) actually referred to it as a rebadged Ap2 with less offset and thinner topline. this was confirmed by Spieth in 2019 prior to the Open championship when he switched clubs. He recommended some changes to the AP2 and they came back with the T100. "improvement" is a generic term however....Spieth got what he asked for and its based on Aesthetics....he wanted less offset....thinner top line...it fits his eye better. Thats an "improvement" .....that was the basis of his recommendation.... he also wanted a slight sole change for turf interaction but looks the big thing for him. Titleist performs so that is just an automatic. im sure they are more "forgiving" a fun fact Speiths game has been worst since moving from AP2. 2013 -2017 - 11 wins with the AP2 2020- 2022 since his switch to T100 - 2 wins no majors

I have been a titleist guy since I started playing golf at age 13. i tried TM clubs years ago and hated them. Ive only played titleist because im totally on board with their quality, looks, performance and everything else....I own 710 MB, 712 CB and T100-S (2021). I play the 910 D3 Driver still and still hit it within 5 yards of the new TSr3 ive tested head to head. You mean to tell me the TSR3 jump in Tech or innovation shouldnt be larger since the 910 D3? Maybe im a pessimist, im not sure. Im just saying the jump in engineering year to year is considered large in the engineering world but real world performance gains are basically 0. is gaining 12 feet or 4 yards of driver distance in 10 years considered great to you? not me. Not worth the $600 driver price tag unless once again...i love the looks and want something new and shiny....like a gucci bag so everyone can see it.....idk, maybe i need a snickers bar or something because im a titleist lover but this release makes no sense to me. I get the issues with blending T100-S and T200 so that was a big miss and an issue for Titleist along with the plastic back of that club so IMO that club needed an overhaul.....the rest was not needed.

Are you saying the T100 isnt an updated AP2? and I didnt have AP2's, i came from the 712 CB. And yes, I "upgraded" because you would think after 10-11 years a big leap in performance could / would be seen......hate to burst the bubble, but with 8 years of R&D and innovation, you only get so much out of CB and its minor with these type of clubs....lets say you can add 2-3 yards with the tech they add and tungsten weighting and moving CG or slightly improving MOI......in the engineering world, thats huge....we all get that......BUT that doesnt translate to barely anything on the course for the average golfer. As we already established many golfers like the new shiny item with updated aesthetics. its not like you take an AP2, add some tungsten, change the looks and all of a sudden you have a super hot TM770 and gain 20 yards of distance throughout the set. Titleist's current marketing is "farther".........farther than what? the last version of the T100? if its 3 feet, they can make this claim.....they will talk about "forgiveness" which means what in a T100? the ball will only fly 10 yards shorter on an off center hit vs 9? Kinda begs the question why this upsets you so much.....i thought MGS was immune from "marketing" and relies solely on real life, real world testing......

A big miss will be no new TP5/TP5X balls for this test

I love the way Titleist "seeds" their iron releases. im sure a huge percentage of amateur golfers base their purchases off what the pros do whether they admit it or not.......you now how many Stealth Driver i see on the course? TONS......some of my friends will say "This is Rory's driver" or something like that.....this is marketing at its finest.....all the testing has already been done, all the pros have given thier input, the clubs finalized.....this is pure marketing.

its essentially the same club as the AP2. im not sure you improve scoring with an updated AP2 but gain in the aesthetics department

yup.....some people buy cars for the same reason.....buy designer bags to show off the name......its pretty normal but for golf it makes no sense when you want to get better. This came from GOLF.com "Unlike the T100S (and as the numbered naming suggests), this is a true blend of the previous T100 and the T200 for golfers that want additional forgiveness and ball speed in a compact shape but also wanted something a little more confidence-inspiring at address than the current T100S." - golf.com

my last set of irons was the 712 CB from Titleist.....loved those irons for years and still have them.....I still play the 910 D3 driver because in everything ive tested, i still hit this within 3 yards of all the new releases that cost $600. I play a combo set of t100-S and T200 and they are great even though the T200 is a totally different club and to me, not really a good blend with T100....its hard to control distance with the T200 and has made the iron gap almost hard to control. I dont know if my T200 5 iron is going 180 or 195 and the 5 Iron T100-S is 175. its a strange blend to me. If i make a change, ill just go with all T150's or T200's I almost moved to TM but in testing i hit fliers all over the map with their 770's they are beautiful which supports my points above how average golfers may buy based on looks and not MOI or Turf interaction improvements

lol...yea but according to most marketing and testing, the ball can be a very big part of scoring improvements......definitely more than a $1500 set of irons
