REVIEWS:<\/strong><\/p>\n The following reviews are from various sources across the internet and not the opinions of AHG Golf.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s finally time, \u00a0our review of the Titleist 716 T-MB Irons. \u00a0This one caught us by surprise at the Japan Golf Fair and just a few days before the event leaked spec sheets were floating around the web, \u00a0we scrambled jet lagged the day of the show waking up at 1am to prepare the product listings and placeholders in the newsletters for an iron we had never seen in the flesh, \u00a0somehow we knew this would be big, \u00a0and it was.. it is.<\/p>\n After hitting just a #7 iron in the swing cage \u00a0I knew it was special and while it looks like a blade it doesn\u2019t perform like one, not even close. \u00a0This thing whatever it was is different and after a weeks worth of play It\u2019s time we spill the beans on what could be one of the most awesome irons for many years. \u00a0Follow the Jump to Read on you do not want to miss this!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today was my 2nd round with the new Titleist T-MB, \u00a0I also enlisted the help of a couple of my pals to share to provide feedback, \u00a0one a Titleist staffer golf instructor who was floored to see these as he prides himself about knowing all things Titleist he hadn\u2019t the slightest clue these had been released.<\/p>\n At first I handed him the #2 iron on the range and he said ya he already has the \u201cU\u201d in his bag so then I handed him the 8 iron and said 716 buddy. \u00a0You should have seen the look on his face, \u00a0it was disbelief that this release could sneak past him.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get the specs out of the way, \u00a0these are Stainless Steel not forged so bend at your own risk. \u00a0I suggest ordering custom from TSG as Titleist is willing to bend loft\/lie 2* for us. \u00a0The new 716 T-MB features a unique design utilizing a hollow body and within a composite tungsten material behind the toe and heel section to produce a low center of gravity and mucho forgiveness, \u00a0it\u2019s thin face structure increases ball velocity making not only the most forgiving muscle back iron in golf but also the longest distance MB ever produced. \u00a0Sounds too hypey! \u00a0but I confirm longest MB I\u2019ve ever hit but can we really consider this a true MB? \u00a0I say yes.<\/p>\n Below the #2, 7, and PW sole profiles, \u00a0the charcoal PVD finished tungsten thingy looks much better in the real than in photographs btw.<\/p>\n JDM enthusiasts know the Titleist VG3 very well and while holding these at address you can totally see the two are related in not only minimal offset but also similarities in shape, \u00a0roundness of the top line and it\u2019s extra added heft. \u00a0Hit them and you fully know the two are most likely designed by the same person or team. \u00a0This is a blade for people who normally wouldn\u2019t play an MB, \u00a0hit it all over the face, \u00a0go ahead it\u2019s soft mostly everywhere and long. \u00a0I wasn\u2019t kidding when I said longest blade, \u00a0let\u2019s toss most forgiving in there as well. \u00a0Titleist has combined strong lofts with a low center of gravity which is like mixing low trajectory with high launch to create penetrating mid trajectory bullets. \u00a0And don\u2019t forget it\u2019s hollow on the inside AND Stainless steel, \u00a0it should feel like s**t then right? \u00a0not at all, \u00a0this thing is spongy soft metal again sharing some of it\u2019s DNA with the same impact sensation as the VG3 CB.<\/p>\n Below the address pics of T-MB #2, 7, and PW\u2026<\/p>\n The #2, #7 and #PW are gorgeous! And I tell you what, the #2 iron is extremely hittable, \u00a0now days we don\u2019t get to enjoy many #2 irons and especially any that are this forgiving and easy to hit. \u00a0Titleist has got to release these to the rest of the world! \u00a0I\u2019m hitting these with S200\u2019s they could feel so much better with a different shaft but still these are just blowing my mind with how they look, \u00a0feel, and perform. \u00a0Distance is 1.5 \u2013 2 clubs longer than the traditionally lofted butter knives I usually play, \u00a0the #2 iron is 17* btw!! \u00a0PW = 45* trajectory is very penetrating, but still easy ups.<\/p>\n Most MBs have near 0 bounce all the way through, \u00a0these are 0 in the #2 and #3 but then increase in bounce thru the PW so my takeaway from this would be it\u2019s better in average to softer conditions, better for the slider, \u00a0and great from the rough and in my testing that was all confirmed, \u00a0I come in pretty steep and still these did the job for me but I could imagine them being a touch bouncy in hard pan conditions.<\/p>\n Again all beautiful shapes, \u00a0nothing to quibble about here it\u2019s curvey, \u00a0got a nice amount of real estate these truly are mini driving irons all the way through hence why it\u2019s based on the 712U driving irons.<\/p>\n Ok so what am I forgetting in this review? \u00a0different shafts yup I got to yank the S200\u2019s these are tried and tested but still no fun so I\u2019d like to see some distance enhancing shafts in these perhaps MCI 100\u2019s in stiff for me or the Modus3 125 if accuracy is the goal \u00a0whatever the case the Titleist T-MB 716 Stainless Steel Irons are legit and what I consider \u00a0a big advancement in muscle back design, \u00a0if you like a minimal appearance, distance forgiveness, and nice feel do consider. \u00a0The only segment I could see not liking these are people who play a lot of hard pan or like flatter and narrow soled short irons or those who feel comfort in familiarity of that pure MB impact as these are different compared to just about every MB I\u2019ve hit in almost every way but in a very very good way.<\/p>\nTitleist 716 T-MB Irons Review<\/h1>\n
