    I recently got a new set of T250 irons, to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. When you call a set of irons players distance irons there’s a certain expectation that the size of these irons are going to be small and compact. These are not players irons, the scoring irons are much larger than the long irons. From the 8-GW they look huge. Titleist need to correctly name these clubs, these are game improvement irons. I hope no one else buy these irons thinking there getting players irons. Now I’m stuck with a set of irons I don’t want.

    Did you not look at the irons before buying?

    The designation as a "Players" iron would be from the stronger lofts versus the T100 and T150 - a blended set of T250 and T150 with the scoring clubs in the T150 bent 1 degree weak would potentially be visually appealing to you. I will "tongue in cheek" take the T250s off your hands. Best in luck in resolving your issue.
  5. Unfortunately, there is no consistency between different iron brands between what is advertised as a players distance iron and a game improvement iron. As suggested, it is always better to look at the irons (pictures, or better yet go to a store that carries them). I would call titleist and see if they can do anything to help you out. Good luck.

    Did you not go through a fitting and compare the T150 as well as the T250? The T250 is “the player’s distance irons” for those needing more forgiveness than the more compact T150. With forgiveness size invariably matters.

    I called Titleist, I was told there a players improvement irons, but there’s no where on the website that say that. The pictures that are on the website are of the 7 iron, the 8-GW has a high arc across the top line which is exactly like a game improvement irons, I think there more worried about mixing sets instead of properly naming a set of irons . I’ve been playing players clubs for nearly 20 years, never seen anything like this before.

    Just from a comparison perspective, I picked up my new T250's yesterday after a fitting a couple of weeks ago. As the fitting is done with a 7 iron, that is really the only club of the T250 set that I handled. During the fitting, I compared to both my T150 (2023 version) as well as my JPX 923 forged 7 iron. Size was comparable. I had not even considered the 8-PW sizes, but after seeing this post a few days ago, was curious as to the size of the T250 higher lofted irons to the JPX923 which are most definitely a player's distance iron. The blade length of the T250 is actually a bit shorter than the JPX923 forged in the 8-PW (highest lofted set iron is the PW for any iron set I purchase). It may be marginally taller from the sole to the top line, but at least to my own eye, it seems comparable. I totally understand the importance of the look of the club when you are addressing the ball, so definitely a personal preference.

    I don't care what they call them. Titleist makes them, so they can call them whatever they want. I worry more about how they perform for my game. I have last years T200 8 thru gap and they're the best feeling/performing irons I have ever played.
    Don't know about the new T250 yet. They look awesome, but I'm a little hesitant to give them a swing, only because I am really enjoying the T200's.
