T200

Did you get fit? It is possible you might have done well with the T150. For design, Titleist matched the irons to allow mixed sets. Many have found what they thought would be their iron, ended up with a different primary iron. Iron sets are pretty much in excess of a grand. I’ve found I’m the last person to recommend any club to me - essentially to not be happy with the wrong clubs.
Hence, I have T200 instead of T350. Empirically, I am a prototype T350 golfer. On my own, I would have gamed the T350. For the intended audience, I suspect the backing will stay for 2025 even if they change the finish to matt. The design needs to move MOI to the bottom. A metal backing hinders that. Not to mention the issue of the back popping off has been overblown. No reports that the back plate has never come off.

We don’t even know for certain yet if the new models will be based on the past ones. Occasionally there is such a dramatic shift that you will not even be able to call it a transition from like models. I remember a day when blades and the DCI were the only models. We will just have to see what Titleist has in store for us.
