Behind The Scenes At The Titleist Performance Institute & Our 2025 T-Series Irons First Impressions
Kick Point: The Golf Gear ShowAbout this episode
Happy Friday, folks. I hope you're enjoying The Open! We've got a very, very special episode lined up for you this week, the first of three from our trip to the USA in late June. Our first stop was with our friends at Titleist, which was recorded from a state-of-the-art podcast studio at the Titleist Performance Institute in Carlsbad, California. We had a jam-packed day at Titleist's US HQ, so expect to hear about our time behind the scenes at the Titleist factory and everything we saw behind the scenes at the stunning Titleist Performance Institute. We were both lucky enough to experience a full fitting for the new T-Series irons, too. While our full review of the 2025 T Series irons will come once we've had a chance to test them all thoroughly, we had the chance to hit all the new irons out on the fitting facility. While we will linger more on the new T100 we were both fitted into, you'll hear our first impressions of every iron in the sizeable new range. We're also excited to welcome Marni Ines, Director of Iron Development, onto the show to answer some of our questions about the new T-Series as well as some wider questions about how iron design takes place at Titleist. There's also an Ask The Pod as well as a trip down memory lane as Joe recounts some of his favourite Titleist clubs of all time.
