After a spring season of my son playing 101 baseball games, I have finally had the chance to play my new Titleist T-150 (6-9 irons) and T-250 (4-5 irons) for 10 semi-frequent round in the heat of summer. The blend of these clubs, specifically with the project x red shaft has produced off the chart results that I am compelled to share.
For context, previous sets of irons were T-100’s, 2 versions of AP2’s and another older Titleist iron set. For over 20 years I have maintained a plus index handicap - not due to distance - but too accuracy and a solid short game. For all my previous iron sets, my 7 iron was my go to for fades and draws and the distance was between 150-160 yards based on the shot type. Literally, no change in distance over the 4 sets and custom shafts.
My new T-150 7 iron is my go to for a 192 yard fade and 198 yard draw.
I’m 57 years old and have truly found a fountain of youth. On hot days, these new clubs and shafts are 3 club lengths further than any model over the past 20 years. On cool days, they are 2 club lengths further. And all the while maintaining the same accuracy level.
My project for this fall is to seek a a driver that can do the same. If successful, I will no longer hide my ambition to play golf professionally (aspired at one point to qualify for Champions Tour events). However, if I find a driver config that works like these irons … the hell with the old guys, look out Sheffler cause a soon to be 58 year old is coming.
Thank you Titleist and Project X for enabling this fountain of youth.
