Titleist T100-S irons: Calibrated for distance
The best way to describe the new T100-S irons from Titleist is: More speed, stronger flight, same package.
In the late summer of 2019, Titleist released the completely re-engineered T-Series irons that included the T100, T200, and T300. The T200 and T300 both offer new Max Impact face technology to increase ball speed and launch, while the T100’s greatest performance feature is extremely high MOI in shrunken down player-preferred look—it quickly made the T100’s the number one iron model on the PGA Tour.
T100 (top), T100-S (bottom)
Every bit of technology is the same, from the thinner, more responsive face, co-forged dual-density tungsten, to the shape and sole design. The goal was not to reinvent the wheel—just refine it. Similar to the way a Porsche offers a turbo S, but in the case of T100, everything is exactly the same under the hood.
This popularity caused the Titleist iron design team to take a second look at fitting requests, and consult with their large network of TPI fitters to find out if they could do even more to help in fitting players’ wants and needs.
One of the biggest requests was to make the lofts slightly stronger on the T100’s to put them closer inline with the specs of the T200 & T300 for a number of reasons:
- For players that have grown up with strong lofted irons and lower spinning multi-layer balls, they wanted to see a stronger flight. The issue with just bending them strong is reducing the bounce and increasing offset.

With the popularity and performance of the entire T-Series, it lead to a spike in combo sets being built along with some needed loft tweaking to dial in ball speed numbers between the three models. Rather than increasing loft on the longer irons and producing higher spin, the new T100-S allows the shorter irons to maintain stronger lofts without excess bending.
“As we were launching the new T-Series, we met a lot of golfers who were really excited about T100 but had become accustomed to playing stronger-lofted iron sets. It would have been really easy to just take T100’s and bend them stronger for those players. But by doing that you start to sacrifice the incredible feel and turf interaction … So our engineers went back and redesigned each individual iron to give these players the stronger lofts and distance they’re looking for, while preserving the performance of that pure forged shape and sole.” – Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing.

Accra Golf shafts have long been synonymous with fitting, and the new GX line of driver, fairway, and hybrid shafts continues that legacy.
Since 2004, Accra has been making high-end performance golf shafts that use the latest in materials and design philosophy. Their group of around 350 fitters are some of the best and most highly ranked in the world. While you might see other brands on professional tours more often, there are plenty of touring pros using Accra products and winning.
Accra’s new GX line of shafts is designed to offer a consistent and accurate shaft to a wide range of players. The GX line consists of 3 different shafts in driver, fairway, and hybrid designs.
The Accra GX shafts are designed for fitters to dial in golfers to the perfect shaft for their swing. Accra included a ton of technology into the GX line including their S3 profiling, DyMatch, and Constant Flex technology. DyMatch has been Accra’s quest to ensure that all shafts in a family feel and perform similar from driver to hybrid or iron shaft. Typically shafts get stiffer as they go up in weight, but Accra’s Constant Flex keeps the flex of the shafts consistent so fitters and golfers can dial in the weight that the golfer need without have to work around a stiffer or softer flex. Accra worked with Cool Clubs to build out its S3 Shaft Profiling system that not only allows a quick and easy EI profile of any shaft, it helps with quality control to ensure shafts come out of production exactly as they were designed.
Accra GX Red 300 Series
GX Red is lowest launching and spinning option in the GX line. Driver shafts have fewer options with just the 360 and 370 models that come in at 63 and 71 grams. The GX Red is made for faster swinging, or stronger, players who require a stiff (M4) or x-stiff (M5) shaft for their swing. Fairway and hybrid models are also on the higher weight side with the fairway clocking in at 80g and 90g for the hybrid. Accra designed this series with one of the stiffest tip sections of any Accra shaft in the current line, and while it is built to control launch and spin, the Red 300 Series will still offer that smooth feel.
Accra GX Green 100 Series
If your swing usually works best with mid-launch and spin, then the GX Green 200 series might be the right shaft for you. Offered in more weight and flex options, you can get a GX Green in 52 grams and all the way up to 70 grams in regular, stiff, and x-stiff flexes. GX Green will give the player a smooth feel and transition from the handle down to the tip section while still providing great stability and consistency. Accra also focused on the energy transfer of this shaft, and golfers can see some increased ball speed compared to other shafts.
Accra GX Blue 200 Series
While the GX Blue 100 Series is the highest launching and spinning option in the GX lineup, it will still give golfers the control and consistency they need. Starting off at 40g, the GX Blue series puts an emphasis on lighter weight to allow players to swing the club faster, promoting more distance. Accra touts the stability of the GX 140 Blue driver shaft by stating that some long driver competitors have put it in play to try and gain every MPH they can. Matching fairway and hybrid shafts are both on the lighter side at around 60g for the fairway and 65g for the hybrid depending on the flex.

How about this, let’s shaft the original t100 one club different, So we can put the 9 iron head in a PW shaft. We’ll just call it a PW and That will net 4 degrees stronger.
Bam…..we’ve got the new t100SS model

I hate when companies offer more options.
I hate when new products come out on a regular basis.
I hate marketing and believe it to be all lies and money-grabbing.
I do not believe in technology or improvements over time, unless they are “completely new”.
I am a rabid defender of capitalism and believe corporations should be free to do whatever they want.
Words like “socialism” and “regulation” make me so scared they give me bowel disorders.
I am not in the least bit a hypocrite.

So is the bounce still decreased? The article touched on this but it never said bounce and turf interaction are the same as the regular T100.
Josh
Jan 20, 2020 at 3:30 pm
Dude, no. They made new molds (how they justified this expense is beyond me) for all the irons to keep the standard bounce at the jacked lofts.
I did notice this when I was looking at the specs to dream up a combo set with T100s in the short irons and noticed the T200 has jacked lofts.

Jan 16, 2020 at 9:36 pm
They didn’t sell enough of the 100 so they went stronger. Laughable.
Greg
Jan 17, 2020 at 1:48 pm
I know, right? OEMs just jack up the lofts and claim that the new clubs are “the longest ever.” Of course they are- you just turned a wedge into what was an 8 iron in 1995. Where does it end? When you have to be single digit to get a 5 iron off the ground?
Robert
Jan 16, 2020 at 5:04 pm
Every swing is different. I think more options during the fitting process is a good thing and it’ll make it easier to blend with the t200’s. Don’t see an issue here.

I like it cause it blends to the T200 irons better. I’ll take the T200 6(27), T100S 7(32) and 8 (bent to 37), T100 9(42). Throw in my TM PW(47), GW(52), and SW(58).

Most people carry a 58/60 wedge, a putter, driver and 3w. That gives you 10 clubs to fill on the gap between the 3w and the wedge. Does it really matter what each club says, or that is fits the gaps????
Acemandrake

Equipment is trending toward very individualized customization. Types and number of clubs will vary from player to player.
It’s a fun experiment to see which clubs are essential & work best for you.

Why not crank them down as low as humanly possible so I can hit my 7 iron 300 yards?

This is so dumb. Why do people pay attention to numbers on the head. I can hit my MP-14s just as far and well as this. Who cares if my old 6 iron is a 7 iron today?

SPIN IS YOUR FRIEND. I don’t understand the search for low spin and strange flight.
Alex
Jan 16, 2020 at 1:25 pm
Exactly. Its only not your friend hitting driver longer and into wind. I for one like holding greens on par 3s and 4s.

Spin helps you stop the ball. But there’s a level of over spin that’s unnecessary and actually hurts distance consistency on the green. I don’t want to spin back 9 irons 10 yards, it makes a gap in yardages I can hit to on the green.
Most players do not want 9000+ rpms on a 9 iron, especially at high launch and decent angles.. 8000 will stop dead at over 45% decent, and give you extra carry yards. That’s why people want to optimize spin.
