Titleist gives five iron models one lie angle row
Loft gets five rows in the T-Series table. Lie and length get one each, shared by every model — which says what belongs to the club and what belongs to you.

Titleist T-Series: all five models in one loft table
T100, T150, T250, T250✶ and T350 lofts side by side, straight from the maker comparison table — plus the two rows that are not split by model at all.
What Equipment Can Fix: the Adjustable Hosel
Adjustable hosels change loft, but on most modern designs they change face angle too — a fact that trips up golfers chasing a fix for their hook.
Opus SP+ Is Not Opus SP: Spec Table Missing
Opus SP+ sounds like an SP update but is a different three-piece build. The full spec table we found belongs to SP, not SP+.
Callaway Quantum: Only 2 of 5 Move Weight
Callaway's current driver is the Quantum. Of its five models, only Max and Triple Diamond let you move the weight; the rest are fixed or skip the system.
Callaway Quantum Max Hybrids: Three Loft Ladders
All three Quantum Max hybrids offer a 3H — at 18, 19 and 20 degrees — and that offset holds the whole way up each set. Checked against Callaway's spec sheets.
Cleveland RT i-Forged: Sharing Srixon's Steel
Cleveland's RT i-Forged wedge shares a material and process name with Srixon's i-Forged irons — sharing names isn't sharing technology.
Cleveland RTZ: Widest Loft Range, Grind by Loft
RTZ runs 46-64 degrees across 20 loft/grind combos, the widest spread here, but names on its spec table often lack supporting explanation.
Four Drivers: Same 460cc, Different Weight
PING, TaylorMade, Titleist, and Callaway's 2026 flagship drivers all share the 460cc cap. What separates them is who lets you move weight around.
Driving Iron vs Hybrid vs Fairway Wood: Pick One
Driving irons, hybrids, and fairway woods fill the 185-240+ yard gap, but head structure and launch behavior differ completely. A decision framework.
Ten Clubs, Five Usable Distances: A Gapping Case
A golfer suspected his long irons flew too far. The real problem was gapping: two clubs overlapped almost exactly, and his set had three dead zones.
One Hybrid Set, Opposite Shot Shapes
Ping states its 2-hybrid is fade-biased while the 5-, 6-, and 7-hybrids are draw-biased — one set, built in opposite directions by number.
Hybrid Lofts Span 10+ Degrees Across Brands
PING, Titleist, TaylorMade, and Callaway all sell hybrids, but where each brand draws the category's boundary differs by more than 10 degrees of loft.
What a Hybrid Number Means — No Wood Past 5
Ping's spec sheet lists a matching wood for the 2H through 4H — then the column goes blank at 5H. Past that loft, no fairway wood exists to fill the gap.
Slow-Swing Hybrids: Same Goal, Opposite Fixes
PING's HL, Callaway's Max Fast, TaylorMade's Max Lite, and Titleist's GT1 target slower swings — one adds length, another adds loft, opposite trade-offs.
Hybrid vs. Wood vs. Driving Iron: Loft Overlap
Overlaying official lofts for hybrids, fairway woods, and driving irons shows a zone all three overlap, and a higher zone where only the hybrid remains.
Odyssey Ai-ONE: A Face Shaped by Mishit Data
Most putter inserts are a story about material. Odyssey's Ai-ONE is a story about surface geometry, shaped from analysis of mishit patterns.
P770 vs T150, M-13, i240: 2 Loft Systems
Four brands each build a compact-yet-long iron for the same bag slot. Overlay the official specs and four lines collapse into two, just 1 degree apart.
P790 vs 3 Hollow Rivals: Not the Strongest Loft
Line up P790 against three rival hollow-body irons on official spec, and 'flies far because it's strong-lofted' falls apart — it's not even the strongest.
P7MC vs 620 CB, Blueprint S, ZXi7: Who Discloses
P7MC isn't TaylorMade's only forged tour cavity-back. Lay it against three rivals and the real story is who publishes which spec, not who flies longer.
PING G440: 5 Drivers Not Ranked by Distance
PING's G440 platform spans five models — MAX, LST, SFT, K, HL. Official specs show they aren't a distance ladder, but five answers to five problems.
PING G440 Hybrid: Fade Low, Draw High
PING's G440 isn't six versions of one club — the low-numbered heads are built fade-biased, the high-numbered heads draw-biased. Full spec table and why.
PING s259: Lie Angle Shifts With Loft
PING s259 publishes a full spec table, and it's the only wedge line checked where lie angle, length, and swingweight all shift with loft.
PING Scottsdale: Why It Skipped Zero Torque
Zero torque is 2026's putter trend, but PING built a ten-model Scottsdale line around stroke arc instead and says outright why it skipped it.
Putter Balance: Fit to Balance, Not Loft
Putters are chosen by balance type, not loft. How face-balanced, toe-hang and zero-torque putters match different stroke shapes, and how to find yours.
Closing the Gap Between Your PW and Wedges
Iron sets stop at the PW and the gap to your wedges must be filled separately. Four brands publish full wedge spec tables; none of them recommends a gap.
PXG's Six Zero-Torque Putters, One Lineup
Most brands bolt one or two zero-torque models onto an existing line. PXG built six from the start, including a center-shafted Hot Rod ZT.
Scotty Cameron Phantom: 8 Putters, 1 Held Back
The 2026 Phantom line launched eight mallet putters worldwide on one day — except the low-torque model, which arrived a month later.
Srixon i-Forged vs. i-ALLOY: Process, Not Twins
Srixon's i-Forged and i-ALLOY share an 'i-' prefix and get confused for one technology. One is a process, the other a material, applied to different irons.
Srixon ZXi Irons: One Name, Three Lineups
The Srixon ZXi lineup isn't one list. Korea, Japan, and tour each show a different count, and overlaying all three changes what 'current lineup' means.
Srixon ZXi: One Name, Three Different Steels
ZXi7, ZXi5, and ZXiR share a name, but forged, two-piece, and cast construction mean three different manufacturing philosophies in one series.
Srixon ZXi5: One Iron, Two Different Steels
Iron heads are usually one material. ZXi5 splits body and face into two steels, between ZXi7's forged build and ZXiR's cast, new-material approach.
Srixon ZXiR: Where ZXi4 Left Off, New Material
Srixon's ZXi4, a hollow-body iron, dropped from the lineup. Its replacement, ZXiR, adds distance via a new material instead of a hollow structure.
TaylorMade MG5: 21 Combos, One Full Spec Table
TaylorMade MG5 spans 21 combos across five grinds — and the published table shows lie is a flat 64 degrees on every one of them.
TaylorMade P770: Compact Outside, Hollow Inside
P770 looks like a pure player iron, but it is hollow with tungsten inside. See the confirmed specs and the 2-degree loft gap between generations.
TaylorMade P790 2025: The 5th Gen's Big Change
The P790 popularized the 'players distance iron.' The 2025 5th-gen changed one thing at its core — face material — and that pulled several others with it.
TaylorMade P7MC: Publishes Every Spec
P7MC specs online mix two generations with conflicting claims. This piece separates what is confirmed on official spec sheets from what is not.
P7MC vs P770 vs P790: What the Loft Charts Show
Overlay TaylorMade's official P7MC, P770, and P790 spec sheets and one pattern emerges: the loft gap isn't performance, it's a one-club shift.
TaylorMade Qi4D, Not Qi35: What Actually Differs
TaylorMade's current driver is the Qi4D, not the Qi35. All four models share one loft-sleeve range; weight, 9g to 15g, is what separates them.
TaylorMade Qi4D Rescue: The Naming Trap to Know
The Qi4D Rescue layers a loft sleeve on a moveable weight — but the bigger risk when buying one is mistaking the older Qi35 for the newer model.
Spider ZT: Where TaylorMade Publishes the Numbers
Zero-torque putters rarely publish figures. TaylorMade does — 25mm of onset on the Spider ZT, and 2 degrees of lean with 34mm on the ZT Max.
Titleist GT Hybrid: Driver Is GTS, Hybrid Isn't
Titleist's driver switched to GTS in 2026, but the hybrid is still GT1/GT2/GT3 — and GT2/GT3 share identical lofts. Here's what separates them.
Titleist GTS, Not GT: What Changed in 2026
Titleist replaced GT with GTS in June 2026. The low-spin model got bigger, not smaller — the opposite of what the prior generation's pattern predicts.
Vokey SM11: 27 Combos, and What 44.10 Means
Vokey SM11 spans 27 official loft/bounce/grind combos across nine lofts — and 44.10 is not a new option, it is the model code for the 44 degree wedge.
Five 2026 Wedge Lines: Loft and Disclosure
Vokey SM11, MG5, Opus SP+, PING s259, and Cleveland RTZ overlaid on loft range and spec disclosure — the real gap is what each brand publishes.
Wedge Bounce and Grind, Explained
Same loft, many configurations: bounce and grind are the two axes behind it. Only Vokey publishes what each grind code is for.
What a Zero-Torque Putter Actually Is
Zero torque was one small brand's idea. Now Odyssey, TaylorMade, Scotty Cameron, and PXG all build it, each solving the same physics differently.
Zero-Torque Putters: Who Followed, Who Didn't
Most major brands built a zero-torque putter after L.A.B. Golf pioneered the design. One notable brand did not, and says its approach is better.
