Official Titleist Iron Release Photos-T100, 620CB, 620 MB

[Golfspy_CG2]

Despite some unofficial photos making the rounds out there, Titleist began it's official Tour Seeding this week at the US Open.   Below is some official news and photos from Titleist. 

 

The new Titleist T100, 620 MB and 620 CB irons will make their tour debut at this week's U.S. Open, marking the first opportunity for players to use the new irons in competition.

 

The three new iron models follow the successful introduction of the new TS2 and TS3 hybrids and U-500 and U-510 utility irons at the recent Memorial Tournament. Validating product performance across the worldwide professional tours is a critical step in the development of all high performance Titleist golf equipment.

 

Based on initial tour player testing and feedback, the new lineup is poised to continue Titleist's run as the most played iron on the PGA Tour for each of the last five years and 14 of the last 15 seasons. Titleist Tour Representatives and members of the Titleist Golf Club R&D team will be on site at Pebble Beach, fitting players into the three different iron models and gathering additional feedback.

 

Stay tuned to Titleist.com and Titleist's social channels for updates as this process continues over the coming weeks across the worldwide professional tours.

So what does this mean for AP1, 2 and 3

They get new names. There’s also a new line bring added and the t-mb full set is going away with two utility irons replacing them.

t100=ap2

t200=ap3

t300=ap1

t400=new line

U500/510 replace t-mb

This new naming scheme for irons is a head scratcher to me. 

Before TS1, 2, 3, 4 seemed to correlate somewhat with their iron names.  AP1-TS1 for slower swingers or players needing forgiveness/distance, TS2-AP2: more conventional/ "better" players, TS3-AP3 distance focused/better players, TS4- (What would have been AP4/T400)  Low-low spin/better players.

At this point,  can't say exactly.  And by that I mean, we don't know, not that I know and cant' say.  I would think the rest of the line might be seeded or revealed sometime between the Travelers and the British Open.

It means the prices of used sets will start to come down as people trade them in.

T400 is rumored to be an sgi line which would not fit the concept of matching ts4 for better players and t400 for those needing help.

while I’m not a fan of the name changes it made sense in he driver and woods to promote the speed aspect, I prefer the ap designation in the irons. But I do get the need to change things up and try to draw in more consumers.

without any knowledge my guess is the t will probably refer to titanium and how it’s used in the construction of the iron and how they took feedback from the cncpt irons to make this lineup

Marketing.

Titleist isn’t necessarily Pepsi Co. but take a page from their book.

Giving a product line a fresh look is how certain companies ignite life into a product. The AP line has been going for a decade and the average golfer wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between 712’s and 718’s.

Changing cosmetics and offering a new name is the key to creating that excitement for the consumer.

... I could see a true combo set with these, depending on head size and look at address. MB pw-8, CB 7/6 and T100 5/4. 

[RickyBobby_PR]

I’m curious about why 620 vs 720 based on 718 last release. I’m guessing either throwback to the old 600 line or they are using 8620 steel

... Regardless of what anyone thinks of the name change and/or why, it is already creating quite a bit of buzz. Marketing Director mission accomplished.

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the pic of all three heads lined up.

I don’t own Srixon irons but have been tempted because of the similar look between each iron line and how easy they are to make a cohesive combo set. These new Titleist irons have the same seamless combo look.

620 as in seeded in June (6) for model year 20 = 620.   Weren't previous years seeding for irons done in July...thus the 718, 716 etc

714 and 716 iirc were seeded in late June. But that makes sense too

I wonder if the CB’s are loaded with tech... tungsten etc...

[ejgaudette]

Looking at those CBs they seem to be following the Mizuno 919 Tour/Forged moving more weight toward the toe with the cavity ending a good bit before the the end of the club. And as some mention I wonder if they have pushed this even further with tungsten in there.

Unless it's a 100% complete overhaul of the previous CB, I'd say yes.

[cynogriffin]

The T100 look an awful lot like the Ping i E1 set (if anyone remembers those) that I currently game.

Completely understand.  The excitement appears to be working

I volunteered at the web.com event last weekend. During one of the many rain /lightning delays, some of the caddies were in the volunteer tent with bags. I believe I saw the MBs in one, and the CBs in another. What I saw looked pretty sharp.
