T250* Launch Spec

I think I would like to get fitted to see if these would help me. I don't have any issue with what number is on the sole of the club, and I have plenty of 'vintage' sets with 48* PW. To me, this eliminates the need for the so-called gap wedges and would put a true 5-iron instead of one labeled as a 6 (or even 7) iron back in the bag. The idea of higher flight and steeper angle of descent is intriguing!

BTW, I was told that simply going back to my older irons with similar lofts wouldn't necessarily get my the same launch, peak height, or angle of descent even if I changed to similarly lighter and more flexible shafts.

Over these last 6 years or so, forged faces,, polymer injections and tungsten weighing has markedly altered the performance. Particularly in launch and height. There is some truth that a lower lofted 5 iron can launch like 6 iron and retain 5 iron distance. Fully forged irons haven’t

The T250* is designed for the speed challenged golfers that don’t get enough height. I may lose some distance with the T250*, but if I get more height and increased descent angle to hold greens, I’ll accommodate the distance. My old irons weren’t optimal and the LH T250* wasn’t an option for upwards of 6 months after launch. The T350 was better, now to see if the T250* is best.

I added the T250*s to my lineup this fall and have generally been quite pleased. Don gives a description of who these clubs are designed for and it fits my profiles fairly well. My previous irons, the T350s, were great but would tend to roll out quite a bit on the greens. The new irons check up fairly well. I think some oh the newer materials and tech help with my distance and I’m about half a club shorter with the 250*s as compared to the 350s. Like some other commenters i now carry a 6 to PW rather than a 7 to gap wedge. I don’t find the 250*s to be super forgiving but that is a trade off I’ll take.

As kind of a lark, I picked up a used set of theT400s at a really good price to experience clubs at the other end of the loft spectrum ( 7 iron has 26* of loft as compared to 35* for the Launch Spec). Have only hit these on th range thus far. Looking forward to taking them out for a few rounds in the spring to experience Titleist’s first real attempt to target slow speed swingers
