Are you looking for the best Titleist irons to take your approach shot game to new levels? If so, you’re in the right place.

After playing this crazy, awesome, and sometimes frustrating game for over two decades, I’m here to tell you that equipment is everything. If you’re playing the wrong clubs, you’re making this game significantly harder. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s already extremely challenging, so don’t make it harder by playing the wrong set of irons.

A good set of irons will help you lower your handicap, play more consistently, and ultimately have more fun. Today I’ll recap my favorite Titleist irons after hitting a ton this season to help you buy with confidence.

When it comes to Titleist irons or any set, you want to consider three things:

  • Type of clubhead: The bigger the clubhead, the more forgiving it is on mishits. But a bigger design also makes it harder to shape shots and change trajectory. Beginners should play large, forgiving, cavity-back designs. Intermediate mid-handicappers should play a mix of forgiveness and playability. While elite golfers should play smaller clubs that have some forgiveness but focus more on workability.
  • Shaft flex and weight: The shafts are nearly as important as the irons themselves. Faster swinging golfers should opt for steel shafts, while beginners or seniors should play graphite shafts. The flex is based on your average swing speed and weight is more player-dependent.
  • Hybrids instead of long irons: A lot of new iron sets replace traditional long irons with easier to hit hybrid/rescue clubs. The higher your handicap, the more likely you should skip 3, 4, or even 5-irons and opt for hybrids instead, which are available in a combo set.

Now you know what to consider, let’s review five different Titleist iron sets.

1. Titleist T400 Irons

The T400 irons from Titleist are the most forgiving and largest clubhead in their T-series irons. Titleist doesn’t offer hybrid like irons (like Cleveland and Cobra), but these are still very easy to hit golf clubs.

Distance and high launch are the two biggest features of these irons. They’re ideal for moderate swing speed players, making them a good choice for beginners or seniors. The strong lofts in these Titleist T-series irons make them longer than ever.

As Titleist said, “Every aspect of Titleist T400 irons is engineered to produce greater playing distance – starting with the incredibly fast Super Thin L-Face.” The lower edge of the face wraps around the sole of the club to help maintain speed even if you catch it on the bottom of the face (aka hitting a thin shot).

There are up to 100 grams of high-density tungsten weights integrated into the hosel and toe of the 5–7 irons, which helps improve launch and mishits with longer clubs. The hollow construction also helps deliver the most MOI for a straighter, higher launching shot, even if you get it on the toe or heel.

If you're a high handicap golfer, I couldn't recommend these, as they're the most forgiving irons in the Titleist lineup.

2. Titleist T350 Irons

The Titleist 350 is a newer forged iron that replaces the T300 from previous years. These are considered game improvement irons thanks to their larger design, but are still smaller than the T400.

These easy to hit irons are ideal if you want high launch, long distance, and consistency even on mishits. The new hollow-body construction and Max Impact Technology makes it fast even if you strike it on the toe or heel. Your mishits are a lot more playable and should help keep you out of trouble on the golf course.

Most higher handicap players will benefit from the lightweight steel shaft options for the graphite as well. These sets are available with a gap wedge if you want a little more forgiveness with your wedges too. Additionally, you can also buy these irons separately to replace a traditional long iron in the T200.

3. Titleist T200 Irons

The T200 is a smaller design than the T350 or T400 and considered a distance iron. Titleist said on their website, “T200 is built for the player who wants distance help, without sacrificing looks, feel, trajectory, or stopping power.”

After seeing and hitting these in person, I can say they look very clean and don’t appear like a normal distance iron. But if you're someone who needs a little more distance and help on mishits, these are a solid choice. It has less offset than the T350 and an optimal blade length to avoid a clunky design like some distance irons.

You’ll have effortless turf interaction thanks to the variable bounce sole which is standard with their Vokey wedges. They’re the same loft as a T150, which should also help add a few more yards with each club - without sacrificing trajectory.

4. Titleist T100 Irons

The Titleist T100 irons are defined as the modern Tour iron that has a solid look and feel. These clubs were even spotted in the bag by Jordan Spieth among other Tour pros. They’re less forgiving than the other irons above, but still provide effortless turf interaction. They also have a softened trail edge, which allows the club to glide through the turf faster for better contact and faster ball speeds.

The T100 irons also have dual-cavity forged construction for a more solid feel at impact. I hit these irons and was impressed with how good they felt on well-struck shots and reduced vibrations on less than perfect shots. There are a ton of stock shaft options that make it easy to find the right one for your ideal trajectory and spin rates.

Or, you can opt for the Titleist T150, which is a newer design and slightly easier to hit than the T100 but still has compact heads. The lofts are also stronger and can help you add 3–5 yards per club vs. the T100’s.

5. Titleist 620 CB Irons

The final Titleist iron you might consider is the 620 CB (cavity-back). These are some of the least forgiving sets from Titleist and a fantastic choice if you’re a consistent ball striker. But if you’re someone who needs more forgiveness on mishits, I’d skip these clubs.

While they’re more forgiving than the Titleist 620 MB irons (which are pretty much only played by professionals like Justin Thomas), you still need a consistent swing to reap their benefits. Titleist made a few design changes for reduced offset and thin topline, which is preferred by better golfers. If you do play them in longer irons, they also have a co-forged Tungsten design in the 3/4 iron, which makes them easier to hit.

These irons are available in five different steel shaft options and three graphite shafts to fit all types of players. If you’re someone who wants more forgiveness than a blade but tons of options when it comes to shaping shots, these are a solid choice.

Optional: Titleist Driving Irons

All five iron sets above are great choices, and I would also recommend the Titleist driving irons. I’ve played their older U505 3-iron for years and it’s my absolute favorite club in the bag.

I wouldn’t replace it if my life depended on it! Seriously, it’s that good and has helped me on more par 5’s than any club I can remember.

Titleist has two options if you’re someone who prefers driving irons (also known as utility irons) instead of high-lofted fairway woods or hybrids.

  • Titleist U505: These driving irons are the best option for mid-handicappers who want a larger design and more forgiveness. They’re easy to hit off the tee, from the fairway, and even in the light rough. The graphite shaft also makes the club significantly lighter, which will help increase ball speed and total distance compared to a normal long iron.
  • Titleist T200 Utility Build: These driving irons are available in 3 or 4-iron and the same clubs used by Tour pros who want more speed and forgiveness. They have minimal offset and the same benefits of the T200, plus a graphite shaft to improve launch.
