    The T400 irons were released in 2020 and marketed by Titleist as a club designed for players with moderate (slow?) swing speeds. The T300s came out about the same time. Since then the 300s have been updated, reimaged into the T350s and a newer version comes out again this summer. Why no love (improvements) for the T400s?

    The idea for the T400s really appeals to me but they could certainly be improved. Has Titleist moved on from this market segment? The clubs were classified as "super-game improvement" but I think this is misleading, as a player can have a pretty good game albeit with a slower swing speed.

    Would love to see Titleist back in this segment as they are with the TR1/GT1 drivers, fairways and hybrids. Any plans to try another iteration of the 400s? Cheers.

    Ther was a 2023 version but only released in Japan. My thought was the T300 was updated to the T350 as the alternative to the T300 and T400.

    The wide sole of the T400 resembles a superGI iron. The lofts are strange even in a world of jacked lofts. I’m a slow swinger, but I enjoy the T200 far more than a previous T400 set I’ll guess the market did not support continuing the T400 series.

    I would guess the market did not respond well to the T400s. The lofts were too strong and, based on my experience, they just did not fit what I was looking for. Titleist seems to have done well with the TSR1s and now the GT1s for the players with more moderate swing speeds. I hate to see them give up on this market segment in the iron offerings. I play the T350s with senior shafts but these are more a "game improvement iron" for everyone offering. I still think the T400s were a great idea but they need some modifications to meet what the potential buyers want. Still hoping Titleist takes another stab at it.

    I just think the market segment was too small to justify the cost that Titleist puts into their irons. The brand will not stoop to producing a cheap product and risk their reputation just to capture a super small segment. I believe their goal was to produce a T350 that is capable of helping the high handicap player but great enough to perform in the hands of any golfer.

    That's me. I swing on the slow side which means not as long. When I try and crank one I start getting inconsistent. I play the 2019 T300 and T200 in short irons. Honestly I can't tell much distance gained from those from the 2016 AP2s I use to play.

    I have a set of 2022 T400's (JP Version) that I play occasionally when my T200's give me fits. Titleist incorporated the "Max Impact" Technology and they have much better feel than the 2020 T400's. They launch high and are crazy long too! Below is a link to a video.

    I am not sure Titleist's plan for a future T400 release. I am excited to demo the 2025 T350's!
