Titleist New Irons 2026No new design this year. Only a limited finish in March. Here are the four current models lined up by 7-iron loft

Updated: Nov 5, 2026Contains affiliate links

I want a Titleist iron, but I can't decide whether to wait for the new model.The short answer: Titleist has released no newly designed iron in 2026, and as of Oct 30 no 2027 model has been announced either. All that came out was the "oil can finish" on March 27, and what's inside is the current T-SERIES from August 2025. T-SERIES arrives every two years, so at the same interval the next one would land around summer 2027. I think the T-SERIES on shelves now is the newest you'll get. Once you know there's no need to wait for a new model, you can buy without glancing at what's next and trust the irons when you swing. I'm a gear nerd who lines up the official spec tables every time a new model comes out, so I went on to how to choose among today's four. The numbers are from Titleist Japan's official site (checked Oct 5, 2026).

Titleist new irons release date: bottom line

All That Came Out in 2026 Was the “Oil Can Finish”

As far as I can tell from following the official releases, this is the only iron announcement Titleist made in 2026. I've lined it up against the standard version.

Source: Titleist official news releases (3/13/2026 and 7/11/2025). Prices are MSRP. The Oil Can release does not list lofts.

The difference is ¥39,600, about 22% more (author's calculation).

Oil Can is a dark, blackish finish. The shafts are black to match.
It looks great. I'll give it that.

But nowhere in the release did I find a number suggesting the performance changes. It doesn't say more distance, and it doesn't say more spin. So I see this as a “different color,” not a “new model.” It simply comes down to whether you'd pay ¥40,000 for the look.

It's a limited edition, so if you want one, check store stock first. The quantity has not been announced.

Choose Among the Current Four by 7-Iron Loft

Every 6-club set of the current T-SERIES is ¥178,200. You can't choose on price. What to look at is loft and head size.

There are three criteria: the 7-iron loft, the PW loft and head size. The table below lines up those three.

Source: Titleist Japan's official product pages (loft by club) and news release (7/11/2025). The T250 Launch Spec was released 9/18/2025.

The 7-iron runs from 29° to 35°. That's a 6° spread.
Irons from the same maker in the same year, a club and a half apart. Choose by name alone and you'll miss.

The column I most want you to look at is PW. The T250 and T350 are 43°. Add a 52° wedge and you have a 9° gap. Nine degrees is close to two clubs, so unless you add one around 48°, you get a hole around 100 yards. I read that as the reason the T350 set comes with a W48 from the start.

The T100's P is 45°, so the gap is 7°. No extra club needed.
That's why the T100 is my pick.

The club-by-club differences among the five models, plus the numbers for the 620 MB and CB that have been in the line since 2019, are all in Titleist Irons Compared. For how the T100 differs from its predecessor, see T100 2023 vs. 2025.

You Don't Have to Pick Just One: Titleist Itself Recommends Blending

There's a reason they all cost the same. Titleist recommends building a set that mixes models by club (a blended set).

An official Titleist article (Jan 9, 2026) says that on the PGA Tour and the Japanese tour, more than 80% of players combine multiple models, and many use a different model for the long irons (#3–#5). For example, T100 from the 6-iron through the P, with only the 4- and 5-irons in T150 or T250. For someone who struggles to launch only the long irons, it's a logical setup.

One caution: the loft steps.
The T100 7-iron is 33° and the T250 7-iron is 30.5°. Where the set crosses from one model to another, the loft gap can bunch up or stretch out. If you blend, check the lofts of the two clubs at the boundary in the official chart and make sure the gap falls within 3–5°.

To find where your own set has a distance gap, enter your lofts in the Club Setup Check (free).

What I found hitting the T100 and mixing in the T250

I hit the T100 (2025 and 2023 models) and the 4-iron and 5-iron of a used T250 I bought. The T100 oil can finish, T150, T250 Launch Spec, T350 and 620 MB/CB I only handled.

These are numbers I measured myself. I hit the T100 2025 model for 15 balls in a hitting bay at a shop attached to a driving range in September 2025 (shaft: N.S.PRO MODUS3 TOUR 120 S, about 120 g). I played the T250 for 18 rounds from March to August 2025.

I couldn't decide between the 2023 model's 34° and the 2025 model's 33°, so I didn't buy and hit both on a driving range. Carry was 155 and 158 yards, so 1° was 3 yards. The 33° has 6,600 rpm of spin and a 50.5° descent angle, and flies a little lower. The gap between clubs is about 9 yards, and in my set the 2025 model fits together better.

As for the link to my wedges, my ZXi5 PW is 46° and my Vokey SM11s are 50°, 54° and 58°. PW to 50° is a 4° gap, which holds to about 10-yard steps. Back when my ZX5 Mk II PW was 45° and my wedge 52°, the 7° gap made a 105-yard shot awkward. Adding a 50° filled in 105 yards. This article says a T100's 45° PW and 52° wedge are "only 7° apart," but in my case, 7° was still a gap.

My mixed-set experience is the T250. For 18 rounds from March to August 2025, I played a used T250 as my 4-iron and 5-iron and the ZX5 Mk II as 6-iron to PW. What bothered me was that the gap between my 5-iron and 6-iron was only about 10 yards, and that the T250's sole was thick and looked different. I lined up my ball position, but the odd look stayed. In August I let the T250 go and went back to the ZX5 Mk II 6-iron to PW.

What I use now is the Srixon ZXi5, 6-iron to PW.

The numbers I hit told me to wait: T100 gaps and the link to the wedges

In September 2025, on a 22°C mat with a Pro V1, I hit a T100 15 times on TrackMan.

I also used the T150 and hit the 7-iron a few times. It carried 162 yards, 4 yards farther than the T100. The head is a little larger and feels reassuring. If you want fewer misses, I can recommend the T150.

I also measured how the irons connect to the wedges. The ZXi5 PW (46°) carried 122 yards, the SM11 50° 105 yards, the 54° 90 yards and the 58° 78 yards. The steps are 17, 15 and 12 yards. Around 100 yards, you end up choosing between a full 50° and a three-quarter 54°.

Even the same "7-iron" is 33° on the T100 and 30° on the T250, so the distance steps from club to club change. You may need to add a wedge, so check the lofts first before mixing sets. That's the order that keeps you from getting it wrong.

If you decide to wait, you can keep your current irons and choose after seeing used prices in summer 2027.

My call:I'll wait. I didn't wait for a new model; I checked the numbers by hitting it. If I buy the T100, I'll aim for summer 2027, when used ones should appear. New ones carry a high list price, and hitting lets me compare well enough at this stage, so waiting fits how I want to spend money better than buying now.

Are Titleist's Next New Irons Coming in 2027? Should You Wait?

There is no official announcement. From here on, this is my read.

The previous T-SERIES generation came out in Aug 2023 and the current one in Aug 2025. Every two years.
If that interval holds, the next one is around summer 2027. So far I see nothing pointing to a new design this fall or winter.

So the answer comes out like this.

• Unhappy with your current irons → don't wait; get the current T-SERIES. If my read is right, the current models stay the newest until next summer.
• Using the 2023 model and happy with it → stay put. The T100's 7-iron only got 1° stronger.
• Want to keep the price down → look at used 2023 models. The list price of a 6-club set went up ¥13,200 with the 2025 model.

Other makers have launched new irons this fall: the Srixon ZXi and the Bridgestone B-FORGED. If you're not set on Titleist, it's not too late to compare 7-iron lofts in the list of new irons 2026 first.

Update history

• Nov 5, 2026: Added the setup of the T100 session to the box (an indoor hitting bay, alone, room temperature) and spelled out the criteria for choosing. Some wording was also reworked (the numbers are unchanged)
• Oct 5, 2026: Published
• Oct 18, 2026: Reworked the title, description, intro and 1 FAQ to answer the question about 2027 models (no numbers changed)

Will the 620 MB and 620 CB get successors?

As of Oct 30, no successor has been announced. The 620 MB and 620 CB went on sale Aug 30, 2019, and while T-SERIES gets refreshed every 2 years, these have stayed the same for nearly 7 years.

The two forged soft-steel sets you can buy now have 7-iron lofts of 34° for the CB and 35° for the MB. The numbers are in Titleist irons compared.

About the writer and sources

The writer has an average score of 72, plays 150 rounds a year, has a driver head speed of 46 m/s and hits a slight fade. I read the official numbers side by side, and for the gear I used I give my own numbers too.

I wrote the T100 I hit and the T250 I mixed into my set in the section "What I learned hitting the T100 and T250, and mixing them." I did the subtraction and sorting of the official numbers myself. Last updated: Nov 5, 2026.
