What I was looking for

I was looking for a blade that felt and performed great. The feel aspect was especially important for me since it’s hard to come across an iron that feels perfect.

Why I chose this club

I picked the Titleist T100S as my favorite club over other clubs based on the feel alone. While other clubs gave me consistent performance like this one, the feel was nowhere near as buttery. Its looks were a bonus as it aesthetically catered to my eye.

What I love about it

  • Distance: The “S” in the T100S stands for “strong” as Titleist has cranked the loft down just a little bit to help with those who need an added distance benefit. While they aren’t going to go as far as players irons and game improvement irons, they still go farther than other blades because of the lofts.
  • Feel: The blade’s feel is impeccable and completely unmatched. I don’t know what Titleist does to make this feel so nice but whatever they’re doing, they’re doing it right.
  • Sound: If an iron has a good feel, it usually has satisfactory sound. The T100S follows that pattern perfectly and provides a flush sound whenever I make great contact with it.
  • Workability: The limited offset combined with the lack of added weighting helps this club make shots that other players and game improvement irons can’t.
  • Shaft Feel: The shaft felt great in my hands. While it may be too heavy and too stiff for others, it’s perfect for those with a fast swing speed.
  • Shaft Performance: It launched the ball at the perfect height and performed great. True Temper shafts never seem to fail me.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: I couldn’t ask for more from Titleist when it comes to aesthetic appeal. Titlelist did a great job designing this from the back and the top down.
  • Grip Feel: The T100S came with the normal Tour Velvet grip I see on most irons I test out in the store. While I like a harder grip, this is the grip that most people like.
  • Launch Angle: The launch angle had a more piercing ball flight than the regular T100 simply because of the lowered loft.
  • Spin: Even with the lowered loft, this club was still spinning back on my shots that hit the green, which really impressed me.

Issues I’ve encountered

  • Forgiveness: Forgiveness is the only drawback I see from this club. The club doesn't offer any forgiveness. If I hit it badly, I won't see my ball go as far as it should.
  • Adjustability: There is no adjustability, but like with all irons, one can go to their local pro shop and get it bent if needed.

Best shot with this club

While I didn’t hole out from far out, I can confidently say that I was throwing darts. The consistency within the club itself definitely helped me get closer and closer to the pin.

Value for the money vs. other options

The T100S has an expensive price tag, to say the least. However, if someone is looking for an amazing set of blades, there aren’t any lower-priced options out there. I’ve tested the Callaway Apex Pros and the TaylorMade P770s and can confidently say these outdo them.

Final verdict

The Titleist T100S is my favorite iron I’ve ever tested. It unlocks some incredible feel and performance for those who can hit them well.

Hello! My name is Jackson Newsum and I have been a golfer since the first day I can remember. My childhood was always wrapped around sports, however I always had a natural talent for golf. But, there was a bit of a problem. I didn't like the lack of physical activity and didn’t enjoy the pressure. As I went into middle school, I decided to quit golf in pursuit of playing basketball. These were sad times for me and my dad who used to love to play all the time. The good news is that my game was shortly was revived when I decided to give high school golf a shot for fun. ​ As I developed paying basketball and golf together, I decided I liked the mental challenge and peace of mind better with golf, so I quit the sport that I quit golf for just to go back to golf! I wanted something to do with helping the industry, so I quickly chose to attend Penn State for its Professional Golf Management Program. I ended up enjoying this a lot... in the beginning. I soon found out that the career options for helping the golf industry were incredibly limiting and soon found myself out of the program due to lack of motivation. Now, I have this incredible talent used for nothing but to access a piece of mind while at the range or going out with friends on the course. ​ This opportunity at Curated has given me true freedom to make a change within the industry by helping customers make informed decisions on the clubs they are buying online. I have done my thorough research on the technology behind each brand's head, face and shaft options, and will give my honest opinions about each brand's technology. However, I also realize that some of the technology in one club may benefit a high handicapper while hurting a low handicapper or vise versa, so thoroughly knowing the extent to what a company is "really" marketing is extremely important, and I'm glad to say that I was absolutely OBSESSED with club and shaft research while I was in high school bored out of my mind in class. I have years worth of educating myself through club/shaft review articles and videos, and am excited to apply my research to help any customer out there!
