Most Titleist irons are best suited for golfers with mid to low handicaps. Titleist irons are very popular with tour professionals. Titleist irons provide excellent feel but are less forgiving than irons with thick club heads and heavy cavity backs.
Consider the following features when deciding which Titleist irons are most suitable for your game.
Titleist irons – cavity backs
Cavity back Titleist irons have a hollow in the back of the club head. This creates more mass around the perimeter of the club head. Titleist irons with cavity backs are therefore less prone to twisting when you miss the sweet spot. This makes Titleist irons with cavity backs more forgiving. Many tour professionals now use cavity back irons. Titleist irons with deeper cavities are more forgiving but offer less feel to your shots.
Titleist irons – blades
Bladed Titleist irons have a thinner club head and no cavity in the back. Titleist blades provide lots of feel but are less forgiving to hit. Blades are best suited for players with low handicaps.
Titleist irons – shafts
Titleist irons with graphite shafts are lighter and more suitable for golfers with slower swings or higher handicaps. Golfers with fast swings usually find they are more accurate with steel shafted Titleist irons. Most golf professionals with Titleist irons play steel shafts. New Titleist irons with graphite shafts typically cost euros 100-200 more than a set with steel shafts.
Titleist irons - flex
Titleist irons with regular flex shafts will be suitable for most golfers. If you have a low handicap or fast swing you may prefer Titleist irons with a stiffer shaft. If you have a higher handicap or slower swing you may prefer Titleist irons with a more flexible shaft.
Titleist irons – lie Titleist
irons with a standard lie are suitable for most golfers. If you are a tall golfer or have a more upright swing you may prefer Titleist irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees upright. If you are a short golfer or have a flatter swing you may prefer Titleist irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees flatter.
