What We Tried
Titleist T150 Irons. The slightly stronger-lofted player’s cavity-back iron in the new Titleist T-Series lineup.

Chris Nickel. MyGolfSpy Director of Business Development who is only asking for an iron that looks and feels like a muscle-back but plays with cavity-back levels of forgiveness. Is that really too much to ask?
Context and Primer
Sometimes in a club fitting, you end up where you were expected to but not necessarily for the anticipated reasons. It’s both the journey and destination, people. That serves as your synopsis of my Titleist T-Series iron fitting experience.
Generally, I’m a “player’s CB” sort of golfer who isn’t opposed to a bit more (or less) forgiveness as needed. I don’t have trouble generating a reasonable amount of ball speed (7-iron is +/- 120 mph) or height. If anything, I often end up with a 44-degree pitching wedge in order to produce a playable combination of trajectory and spin. This is the result of adding loft at impact, which is something I’m working to mitigate.
Also, for every golfer, there comes a point in the setup where you no longer have the swing speed to generate enough height and spin to justify a cavity-back or muscle-back iron. To toss out a juicy stat, more than 75 percent of Titleist tour professionals play at least two different iron models.
