Titleist T350 Irons Review 2023 – Are They Good For Beginners And Forgiving?

Titleist hails the T350’s as “game improvement reimagined.”

I tested these irons to see if they are truly useful for beginners and high handicappers.

Titleist T350 Irons Overview

“If Titleist was referring to the looks of these irons when they described them as game improvement reimagined, they were right.”

The Titleist T350’s are possibly the cleanest game improvement irons I’ve ever tested.

However, this should come as no surprise to anyone who is familiar with Titleist irons.

Even their past game improvement irons have been downright beautiful. The Titleist T350’s follow in the same tradition.

The Titleist T350 irons have a sort of rounded top line that makes it look thinner than it actually is.

And as always, Titleist kept things minimal and understated with the T350’s.

The branding is minimal, the lines are traditional and the cavity plate is simple.

But it’s what’s under the hood that’s important. The Titleist T350’s sport a hollow-body design backed up by a forged face.

The hollow body design allows for great distance. In fact, these are some of the longest Titelist irons I’ve tested in a long time.

I was getting an average carry distance of 170 yards with the 6-iron.

The forged face gives a nice, soft feel to these irons. And it feels consistent. On mis-hits, I still got that soft feel.

However, I was a little disappointed with the dispersion. It was much wider than what I am used to from Titleist. However, when you add somewhere you usually have to subtract from somewhere.

The Titleist T350 irons have moderate footprint so the tradeoff for forgiveness is control.

Side spin rates were higher than what I usually like to see; but that was to be expected given the generous size of these irons.

Are the Titleist T350 Irons Forgiving?

“The Titleist T350 irons feature tungsten weights that have undergone an aerospace-grade brazing process for a seamless fit and precise positioning.”

The perimeter tungsten weights cannot be seen at address. They are perfectly blended into the shape of the head to maintain a classic look.

But they sneakily add a good amount of forgiveness to the irons themselves.

Yes, side spin was a little high. But the forgiveness was also high – especially on toe-side mis-hits.

On these kinds of shots, I wasn’t losing very much ball speed. The flight was also pretty much the same as face-center strikes.

The stability on off-center strikes was really impressive. So much so that I completely forgot that these are hollow-body irons.

The Titleist T350 irons were built for forgiveness and they really deliver.

Are the Titleist T350 Irons Good for Beginners and High Handicappers?

“I would say these irons are good for high handicappers.”

But if you’re a true beginner, there are probably super game improvement irons out  there that would benefit you more.

The Titleist T350 irons offer stability on off-center strikes and will keep you in play for birdie as a high handicapper.

But if you’re a beginner, the head shape will throw you for a loop.

These are generously-sized irons…for Titleist. But objectively, they’re not big enough to be suitable for beginners.

In general, I would say that the Titleist T350 irons are good for players in the 15-25 handicap range.

Should you Buy the T350 or the T300’s?

“The T300’s are cavity back irons with tungsten weighting in the long irons.”

The short irons lack this tungsten weighting to improve feel and control around the pin. The T300’s also feature a polymer insert to soften up the feel.

However, I found the T300’s to have a more clunky, unresponsive feel compared to the Titleist T350’s.

I think pure beginners might actually fare better with the T300 irons but the Titleist T350’s are more refined and bring well-rounded performance for a wider variety of players.
