Titleist Golf has now introduced a new set of Utility Irons the 716 T-MB set, that are now available in pro shops and golf retail stores. See your local golf professional or certified Titleist fitting professional and lock in to the set of irons that works for your swing and your game.

Titleist has created the 716 T-MB Irons with an extreme amount of high density tungsten, which delivers a combination of high launch, longer carry, and better forgiveness in a muscle back frame.

“T-MB’s are the most playable, most forgiving irons in the game. They will change the way players look at this type of club from a driving iron to a true utility club that can be integrated into the long end of a players’ set to improve distance gapping and shot stopping,” said Chris McGinley, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing. T-MB is loaded with technology. That’s what the ‘T’ in T-MB represents. Our R&D team has given players more launch, carry distance and forgiveness where they need it most at the long end of the set, all with an incredible, lively feel.”

Due to demand from golfers and the Titleist Tour staff players, Titleist has increased utility irons availability to full sets through MOTO (Made Only to Order) program.

“The design and technology of T-MB was so compelling that we did not stop at long irons,” said McGinley. “We’re also offering full sets of T-MB irons through MOTO program, for golfers who want this type of performance throughout the set.”

The T-MB look features a high-tech muscle back frame with thin, fast unsupported face that increases speed and launch for more distance.

The T-MB’s construction allows for maximum use of high density tungsten- an average of 80 grams per head, the most of any Titleist iron-providing a powerful combination of high launch and forgiveness with a playable trajectory.

“The T-MB provides the most deceptively shocking performance result versus what you see,” said Dan Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club R&D. “You’re looking down at a muscle back blade, then you hit and realize how much performance it offers. The ball jumps off the face and launches high but just keeps carrying downrange. Our 712U models have been the most played utility iron on the PGA Tour for more than two years now. The first week we brought this out on tour, many of our players witched immediately.”

T-MB irons, in robot testing versus 712U, registered on average 2 mph ball speed and up to 200 rpm less backspin, with a similar launch angle at 1 degree stronger loft. The result was an average carry distance of four additional yards.

Golfers can fit for the T-MB irons at 110 locations across the country within the Titleist fitting network, plus over 3,000 fitting events held annually around the country. More information at Titleist.com.

Titleist staff player Adam Scott shared these thoughts,” The way I see the T-MB iron is really the future of the game. Technology is involved in everything. This is going to be a revolutionary set of irons.”
