TITLEIST T100 S

◆ Forgiveness 2 ◆ 7i loft 32°

VERDICT As good as the original T100s were, and they remain hugely successful on tour, Titleist realised golfers today buy on launch monitor numbers. Having weaker lofts than most, the T100s really struggled to compete in the launch monitor wars. Titleist’s answer was the T100 S. The new model have stronger lofts (2° stronger in the 7-iron) and, according to our data, they now position Titleist right at the sharp end of the ‘players’ iron category. Our pro saw a gain of seven yards of carry distance switching from the T100 to the T100 S. The S was also his second-longest model (170 yards). There were significant drop-offs in backspin and descent angle to upgrade to that extra power, but we, like a lot of good players, still rate this model as tops.
