Tour Speed’s thermoplastic urethane (TPU) cover is proprietary Titleist golf ball technology specifically formulated by R&D chemists, generating greenside spin for short game scoring control with soft feel.

T-SERIES BLACK IRONS
Now available in a stealthy all-black set-up, the T-Series irons have quickly become the most-played iron model on the PGA Tour, where Titleist has been the longstanding #1 iron since 2005. The new T-Series T100•S and T200 Black irons are finished with a sleek High Polish Black PVD coating which have been continually requested by tour players and members of the Team Titleist community. Each model is complemented by a glare-reducing matte black shaft and an all-black Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 grip. Australia’s Cameron Smith won the 2020 Sony Open in Hawaii playing a set of T100 Black irons. Lanto Griffi n, who put in his request for black T100’s after seeing Smith share a picture of them on social media, used them to win the Houston Open.
T200 TECHNOLOGY
T200 irons deliver powerfully playable distance in a tour-inspired shape – with Max Impact Technology, a striking innovation that extends maximum speed across the entire face of the mid and long irons while preserving superior sound and feel. A super thin forged face is backed by a unique polymer core to provide consistently better distance from every swing, without sacrificing looks, feel, trajectory or stopping power.
T100•S TECHNOLOGY
T100•S irons are the only fully-forged player’s distance iron in the category, designed to deliver the same tour-level precision and signature feel as T100 in stronger lofts for a more penetrating ball flight and longer distance.
STUART TAYLOR: “The pictures don’t do justice for how these irons look – they are simply a work of art. This extension of the T100•S and T200 irons has been greatly anticipated and the new tour-inspired finish with explosive distance, giving players long-range stealth performance, will make you the envy of any fourball.”
