T250* Launch Spec

I just got back from my fitting at TPI and was fit for T250 Launch Spec. I was in the Gen 3 T350 and always have fought a low ball flight. We did go 1 degree strong and 1/2 inch longer which brought the distance a bit closer to my old irons but more importantly, the height and descent angle was much better. I do not mind occasionally going one more club up if it means hitting it higher and holding a green. Iron play is all about accuracy so I am very happy with the fitting and look forward to getting these soon and dialing in my distances.

I also was close on the launch spec 250s - they look great as well - best fit for me was 350 2 degrees weak

Female golfer here.

Fitted into the launch spec at TPI.

BTW: Has anyone else heard that they have yet to receive any of the launch spec heads and it will be another 6 weeks? I did not hear this from Titleist, fyi

I am heading from the 400s and had no idea those clubs had such low lofts.

I also was fit one degree stronger.

However, the distance change was not as drastic as I expected. But there surely is a distance change. I am putting more blame on the 400s.

As I get older and was already losing distance to find out the lofts were so different from my 400s was a bit of a womp womp but, I was taking nice divots (tougher to do with the 400s) and the flight on the clubs was great and my accuracy still in place.

I am really looking forward to these clubs and at the same time know it might take some time to learn my new yardages, etc.

An interesting aside from that was the recommendation to pull the 250 Launch AW and swap it to a third Vokey to cover my short distances more effectively.

Bob Vokey was in the house when I was there. Nice to meet him and nice guy as well.

Fitted into the Launch Spec. I had the 2021 T100s. I lost 3 yards of carry when I hit the T100s solid. Launch Spec was more consistent for me.

Apex was higher so overall distance lost was about 10 yards but now that I would be coming into greens from a steeper angle, going to have better looks as birdie as the ball will not release as much.

I’d love to demo these irons. How do we get information to get these sent out to us to test?

Find a local fitter to try out their 7 iron during a fitting event. You will not likely find full sets anywhere for quite a while as Titleist is busy meeting custom set build demand. Then they will have retail sets produced for big box stores and pro shops. Only then might some locations have full rental sets. A rental set with stock shafts might not give you great results and could turn you off of a potential iron head. Always best to go the personal fitting route. Good luck.

Hey John,

It all depends on the height of your ball and whether you're in a spin surplus or deficit. 29* is closer to a 5 iron in loft so there is a world where you could actually carry the ball further with more loft. It all depends though on your specific golf ball needs. Hope this helps!

LUCASSSSSSS!!!!!

I ended up with the 4G T350. But apparently some T250* have shipped. At least RH. My fitter didn’t have the LH fitting head, but we were both satisfied with the results.
That was my complaint with the T400’s as well. They bordered on super game improvement and the PW with the wide base didn’t work for feel shots. At the end of the day, I don’t care about the number on the iron. Just so I know which club to pull for a 120 yard shot and that the next one will cover 130. Hope to know that in the next 2 weeks.

at TPI, the fitter had me hit the 250, launch spec and 350 (currently game 350). He liked the added height due to the loft, but I lost ball speed due to the lighter head. I ended up with the 250s 1/2 in shorter shaft and 2* weak in the loft. They arrived yesterday and they will be in the bag this weekend.

the new T-Series are easy to hit and provide great loft. The new fitting system can adjust the iron +/- 4* for loft and lie.

My fitting spec for the T259 LS is 2 degrees weak, and 2 degrees flat. Shaft is the Ns Pro 750 GH Neo.

I am coming for the T200. We needed more height to get the descent angle in the high forties. The result of the fitting was significantly more height and a steeper descent angle with no loss in distance when compared to my current T200 irons. Also, no more 4 iron. I will be using a GT1 9 wood instead. The 9 wood is easier to launch and straighter. Fitter was Colin Fisher out of 1757 Golf Club.

Called Titleist earlier today to check on my T250 Launch Spec Iron Set. It looks like there has been a delay with the iron set shipping the third week of September. They said that there looks like some components are not in stock currently.

Decided to pull the trigger and order the 250* irons after a fitting the 1st week of August. Went with Standard loft and lie based on the fitters recommendation. My ship date was supposed to be September 9. From what I’m hearing that’s probably a bit optimistic. Thanks for all the comments. they were very helpful.

My original ship date was August 28. But it has been delayed.

How did you find out your ship date was delayed?


On the plus side, I have standard lie and standard loft, so nothing exotic there. On the downside, I’m left-handed and that always seems to have issues. Cheers.

I called Titleist and gave them my order number. They gave me an expected ship date.

I made the mistake of getting fit initially at an affiliate. I was fit into T350 , ordered them and when they were delivered in 2 weeks - just couldn’t get the club on the back of the ball- I am a sweeper so to speak . I just had a Titleist fitting on Tuesday and was fit into the Launch spec - what an absolute difference . Looking forward to playing with these but notice on the site that projected delivery may be 6 weeks , but hopefully sooner

I clicked on the Order Button from the confirmation email I got. The newest ship date has been posted in the order summary online. It is now listed for 09/29/2025

Question on the launch spec and regular 250s, will a T250 launch spec 6 iron (31 degrees) have the same general ball speed, spin, height and land angle as a t250 7 iron (30.5 degrees)? Guess you could ask the same question about other clubs in the set too -- t250 launch spec 7 iron (35 degrees) vs a t250 8 iron (34.5 degrees).

Thanks

The main reason I was fit into the T250 LS is for higher ball flight and increased descent angle as a result. In comparison to my 2023 T200 set on a per iron basis, the LS goes the same distances but with a higher ball flight.

What bugs me now is that there is no 4 iron in the LS.

Good question NYC. That is generally how I started this discussion. Will be interesting to see what the answer is. The earlier comments had some points that address this as well.

Many factors here including lighter head weight , shaft choice and delivery . I currently have 2021 T100S ( was fit to T200 but didn’t want the plastic back - T100s makes current 100/150 look small ) . Sweeper so I like the sharp leading edge but I deloft to get those in the air and get distance so launch spec best fit - so in fitting got even more distance with MMT blue with same delivery than current setup - hard to say on individual basis

lol meant to say - T100s makes current 100/150 look HUGE . Had them side by side and the T100S is very small

Just received my custom build T250* and played two rounds.

Significant reduction in distance. One or two clubs. I was fitted into the t250 with a little less weight to increase height and so my fitter thought the new high launch would be a good fit.

I’m a Titleist fan big time, but I’ll be changing these out for the standard model. I wouldn’t have bought these if I had been able to try them when getting fitted.

So just beware that it’s a whole diff game when it comes to distance with these.

My new T-250 Launch Spec irons (6-9 only) arrived today (09/02/2025). They will go into play tomorrow. Fitting saw improved descent angle, with minimal loss of distance from my 2023 T-150's. Will know far better after tomorrow's play. I was fit, and the order placed, on 17 July. New irons have Mitsubishi MMT AMC Red 65 shafts, 0.5 short, in R2 (Lite Senior) flex. Lofts are 2 degrees weak and one degree flat. We will see. . . .

Can you give me an example of how your distance changed? Were you hitting a seven iron and 150 yards and now you need to hit a five iron?


Not sure how that trading them in works. Is there something like a playability guarantee that comes with the irons? At that point do you start from scratch in terms of doing another fitting?
