Titleist 718 T-MB Irons Review
Put on the map by Jordan Spieth’s miraculous recovery on the 13th hole during the final round of the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, the new 718 T-MB iron is a technologically advanced distance muscleback.
Previously it was only available in 716 2 – 5-iron but now golfers can benefit from the performance in a full set.
The irons feature a hollow-back construction with a thin, unsupported L-Face insert that allows the face to flex more at impact, increasing launch and speed for more distance.
The most high-density tungsten in the Titleist 718 lineup – with an average of 93.9 grams precisely placed in the heel and toe – highlighted by the brown sections on the sole, optimises launch and spin to produce higher shots that go far and land soft.
