Which to choose

The biggest difference is purpose. The T100 is a forged cavity-back players' iron built for feel and control. The T200 is a multi-material, hollow-body players' distance iron with a stronger 31° 7-iron loft, compared with 34° on the T100. Testers found the T200 a bit easier to hit and more forgiving. Some saw a clear carry gain over the T100, while others found only a small one.

The T100 has the softer feel. Its strike is described as soft and solid with clear feedback, while the T200 is slightly less soft and some testers found it louder and clickier. Both look compact at address, launch easily, hold greens and shape both ways. That's why they blend well in a combo set.

Choose the T100 Irons if…

you're a low-handicap or elite ball-striker who puts soft feel, clear feedback on misses and a blade-like look ahead of extra distance and forgiveness.

Choose the T200 Irons if…

you play somewhere from about scratch to a 12 handicap and want a players'-iron look with more forgiveness and stronger lofts. It's also a good choice if you want more forgiving long irons in a combo set with T100s.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving, the T100 or the T200?
The T200. Testers found it a bit easier to hit than the T100, and mishits don't sting. The T100 is forgiving for its size but not forgiving enough for mid and high handicappers.
Is the T200 longer than the T100?
It has a stronger 7-iron loft, 31° compared with 34°. Some testers saw a clear carry gain over the T100, while others found only a small one.
Can I combine the T100 and T200 in one set?
Yes. Testers say the 2021 T200's narrower topline, shorter blade and reduced offset make it easy to mix with T100s in a combo set.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Feel and Sound: The T100 Strikes Softer

Reviewers consistently praised the T100's feel. It was described as soft and consistent, soft and crisp on centre strikes with clear feedback on mishits but no sting, and solid and stable, with one reviewer singling out chips and pitches. In a testing video it felt premium, like a true muscle back on centre strikes. Opinions on the T200 were split. One reviewer felt it was slightly less soft and louder than the T100, "more crack than thud". Another praised its feel but still found it louder than the T100. In a testing video it felt soft and full like a forged iron and sounded good outdoors, but clicky indoors. The T100 is the more consistently praised of the two for feel and sound.

Looks at Address: Both Compact Players' Shapes

The T100 drew praise for its blade-like look, with a thin topline, minimal offset and a compact, sleek shape. Two sources noted that the brushed or muted finish cuts glare off the topline. The T200 was also rated well. One reviewer called it clearly improved over the original T200, with a more compact topline, less offset and the same offset as the T100. Another said it is closer to the T100 than the first-generation model, with a shorter blade, narrower topline and thinner sole. In a testing video the head looked like a players' iron, sitting between the T100 and the bulkier T300, though that reviewer found the plastic-looking back insert cheap. Both look compact at address, but only the T200 drew a complaint about its looks, and that was about the back insert.

Launch, Spin and Distance: T200 Has Stronger Lofts

Both 7-irons are 37.0 inches long with a 63° lie, but the T100 has 34° of loft and the T200 has 31°. Reviewers found the T100 easy to get airborne, with a high, piercing flight, and said it stays playable on thin strikes. On spin, one reviewer found it higher than expected and another saw it as helpful for stopping power. One reviewer felt it was about half a club short. The T200 was described as launching high with a steep descent, and one reviewer found its flight and spin very similar to the T100's. Its distance gain over the T100 ranged from noticeable to modest, and one video noted occasional long flyers. The T200 has stronger lofts, but reviewers disagreed on how much extra distance that delivered.

Forgiveness: Both Earn Credit on Mishits

The T100 was rated more forgiving than its size suggests. Reviewers credited the tungsten in the heel and toe with adding stability and keeping ball speed up on heel and toe strikes. One reviewer said it was close to a cavity back. Another felt that slight misses cost some distance, which they considered fair for a players' iron. One reviewer called the T200's forgiveness very strong, adding that mishits feel less satisfying but don't sting. A second reviewer found it slightly easier to hit than the T100 but didn't assess it further, and one testing video didn't cover forgiveness at all. Two reviewers gave the T200 credit for forgiveness, and one of them directly rated it slightly easier to hit than the T100.

Shot Shaping: Both Workable, Neither Biased

Reviewers found the T100 workable. One said fades came easily, another described it as staying workable for shaping shots, and a third, who naturally hits a draw, said it has no built-in bias and shapes shots both ways. Only one testing video looked at shot shaping with the T200. In it, low and high draws and high fades were all simple to hit, and only the low fade was a struggle. Neither model was described as having a draw or fade bias, and shot shaping for the T200 rests on a single test, while the T100's comes from several reviewers.
