Two T-Series irons, two different missions: the max game-improvement T350 against the players-distance T250. Both are long and forgiving — the question is how much help you actually need, and how much club you want to look down at.
Quick verdict
The T250 is the higher-rated iron— it scores 9.2 to the T350's 8.8 and wins four of seven categories: looks, feel, distance/gapping, and workability. With tour-clean looks, a crisp forged-face feel, and more hidden forgiveness than its compact head suggests, it's the better all-around iron for low-to-mid handicaps who want help without giving up control.
The T350 is the max-help play— it wins the two categories that matter most to a struggling ball striker: forgiveness (a 9.5, the highest in the comparison) and turf interaction. If you want the biggest possible margin for error and an easy, high launch from any lie, the T350 is the smarter buy. Value is a dead heat at $1,499.
Titleist
Hollow-body, high-strength all-steel with a forged L-Face. The longest and most forgiving iron in the T-Series — max game-improvement help in a sleeker, more premium head.
Titleist
All-steel hollow body, forged L-Face with V-Taper. The players-distance iron — tour-clean looks, explosive and consistent ball speed, and hidden forgiveness.

T350
T250
Genuinely clean for a game-improvement iron — high-strength steel slims the head into the better-looking end of the GI class. Golf Monthly called it a successful merger of form and function.
Near-universal aesthetic praise. The all-steel build dropped the T200's rear badge for a clean, monochromatic profile reviewers compared to the Mizuno Pro — among the best-looking players-distance irons ever made.
T350
T250
A clear step up from the 2023 model — muted and solid — but the hollow steel body still runs a touch firm and clicky versus a soft forged blade.
The all-steel construction delivers a crisp, connected snap on centered strikes. Plugged In Golf called the impact immensely satisfying — one of the T250's strongest traits.
T350
T250
Some of the fastest ball speeds in the category from the forged L-Face and strong lofts — but those strong lofts compress gapping at the bottom of the bag, the one knock on an otherwise very long iron.
Explosive, exceptionally consistent ball speed across the face — testers said you could throw a blanket over the front-to-back distances. Slightly cleaner gapping edges it just ahead of the T350.
T350
T250
Its headline strength. Split high-density tungsten, multi-zone Variable Face Thickness, and the deepest CG in the T-Series make mishits fly nearly full distance — Plugged In Golf called the sweet spot the size of Rhode Island.
Surprisingly forgiving for a compact players-distance head — low-face strikes still launch and ball speed holds — but it can't match the T350's oversized margin for error.
T350
T250
The weakest axis. The larger head and a draw bias limit shot-shaping, and Golfalot measured wider left-to-right dispersion — this is a distance-first iron, not a shaper's tool.
More workable than the T350 thanks to the compact players profile, though the players-distance build still favors a stable stock flight over big intentional shape changes.
T350
T250
The wide, cambered game-improvement sole glides cleanly through turf and aids launch — the better performer from a range of lies.
The narrower players-distance sole is less forgiving through turf from tight or heavy lies — the one category where the game-improvement T350 pulls clearly ahead.
T350
T250
$1,499 steel ($1,599 graphite) sits at the premium end of game-improvement — reviewers noted rivals from Ping, Cobra, and Wilson offer comparable help for less.
Same $1,499 set price, at the top of the players-distance market against the P790 — the performance justifies it, but the T250 rewards a proper fitting to unlock it.
Buy the T350 if you...
Buy the T250 if you...
This is the “how much help do you need” question inside a single brand. Both irons share the same hollow-body, all-steel, forged-L-Face DNA and the same $1,499 price, so the decision isn't about quality or cost — it's about which kind of help you want. The T250 is the players-distance iron; the T350 is the full game-improvement iron. They overlap, but they're built for different misses.
The T250 wins on paper and in most bags. It takes looks (9.8), feel (9.0), distance/gapping (9.8), and workability (8.6), and its 9.2 consensus is the highest-scoring iron in the T-Series. Reviewers consistently called it the best-looking players-distance iron on the market and praised its blanket-tight gapping — you could throw a blanket over the front-to-back distances. For a low-to-mid handicapper who finds the center often enough, it gives up almost nothing and looks like a tour iron doing it.
The T350 wins where a higher handicap actually needs it: forgiveness and turf. Its 9.5 forgiveness is the single highest score in this matchup — the deepest CG in the T-Series, split tungsten, and a sweet spot Plugged In Golf likened to the size of Rhode Island — and its wider, cambered sole glides through turf from lies the compact T250 fights. If you don't find the center every time, that extra margin and the easier launch are worth more than the T250's sharper looks and gapping. Find the center reliably and you want the T250; miss more than you'd like and the T350 is the smarter buy.
“One of the most powerful irons I can ever recall striking in terms of raw distance output.”

T350 — our take
The max-help iron. It owns the two categories a struggling ball striker needs most — a class-leading 9.5 forgiveness and the best turf interaction here — with serious distance and an easy, high launch from a wide, friendly sole. It gives up looks, feel, and workability, but for the right player that's a fair trade.
✦ Best for: mid-to-high handicappers who want maximum forgiveness (9+)
T250 — our take
The all-around winner. At 9.2 it's the highest-scoring iron in the T-Series, taking looks, feel, distance/gapping, and workability while staying surprisingly forgiving for a compact head. The right call for most golfers who find the center often enough and want tour looks with real help.
✦ Best for: low-to-mid handicappers who want distance with control (0–15)
For most golfers the T250 is the better iron — it carries a higher 9.2 consensus score (vs the T350's 8.8) and wins four of seven categories: looks, feel, distance/gapping, and workability. But it isn't simply better: the T350 wins forgiveness and turf interaction, making it the smarter buy for mid-to-high handicappers who want the maximum margin for error.
The T350 is more forgiving, scoring 9.5 in forgiveness versus the T250's 9.0 — the highest forgiveness score in this comparison. Its deepest-in-the-T-Series CG, split high-density tungsten, and multi-zone face hold ball speed on mishits (Plugged In Golf likened the sweet spot to the size of Rhode Island). The T250 is surprisingly forgiving for a compact players-distance head, but it can't match the T350's oversized margin for error.
The T350 is Titleist's max game-improvement iron — a larger head, wider sole, stronger lofts, and the most forgiveness in the T-Series, built for mid-to-high handicaps. The T250 is the players-distance iron — a more compact, tour-clean profile with crisper feel, cleaner gapping, and more workability, aimed at low-to-mid handicaps who find the center more consistently. Both use a hollow all-steel body with a forged L-Face and both cost $1,499.
It depends where in the mid range you sit and how consistent your strike is. A lower-mid handicapper (roughly 9–15) who finds the center often will prefer the T250 for its looks, feel, and tighter gapping. A higher-mid handicapper who misses the center more will get more out of the T350's class-leading forgiveness, wider sole, and easier launch. At the same $1,499 price there's no cost penalty either way, so a fitting is the best tiebreaker.
