Titleist CNCPT iron range, featuring the new CP-01 and CP-02 irons, coming to retail
Titleist has introduced a brand new iron range CNCPT – which begins with the new CP-01 and CP-02 irons. The irons appeared on social media and in our forums last year, and we got a look at the clubs during the PGA Show, but until now, it was unclear whether the built-without-regard-to-cost clubs would come to retail.
The CP-01 iron is a players distance iron, which features high-density tungsten weighting, averaging more than 100g per head in the lower-lofted irons.
While the CP-02 Iron is a classic blade shape iron and averages more than 110g per head in the lower-lofted irons. The high-density tungsten weighting of both irons seeks to provide golfers with a higher launch, greater distance and the most generous impact possible.
Both sets of irons also contain a Super Metal L-Face Insert made with a super-strong alloy which aims to produce maximum ball speeds off the face of the clubs. According to the company, the alloy faces are the thinnest unsupported faces in golf, and they wrap under the sole, which maximizes the hitting area. Additionally, the face thinness allowed engineers to move discretionary weight throughout the clubs to maximize MOI, much like in a driver, as well as strategically position CG in each club.
Speaking on Titleist’s new CNCPT irons, Kelley Moser Jr., Brand Manager, CNCPT Clubs, stated
“CNCPT is an idea, a promise. It’s our answer to ‘What if?’ What if our R&D engineers could bring their dreams to reality, using materials and processes never before used in golf? We promise to provide them all the resources they need, so that CNCPT will always deliver the ‘wow.’
Those interested in purchasing the irons, which retail for $500 each, can contact Titleist’s CNCPT concierge to schedule a fitting.
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Is there literally any other facet of life where people continually line up to pay hundreds, thousands…..for literally no increase in performance. Pissing $$ away.

Also, look up Honma Beres – over $1k per iron. No one is forced to buy them and they are not necessary in any way. Want to complain about pricing – complain about profiteering in prescription drugs. That actually kills people.

The answer of course is simple: if you want companies to stop doing things like this, vote for socialism. Well-run socialism would end unnecessary products and prices.
In the meantime, PXG has proven without any doubt that a market exists for golf clubs in this price range (even if they’re ugly). Why should Titleist ignore the possibility? Wouldn’t they be stupid not to? Wouldn’t their shareholders see missed opportunity? How would their top execs get huge salaries for doing nothing and new yachts every 2 years?
There is an “ultra-premium” price range in almost everything. Clothing, wine, cars, houses, home audio and video systems ($50,000 in audiophile speaker wire, anyone?). This is a natural and obvious progression of capitalism. Apart from JDM clubs, it’s actually kind of funny this hasn’t hit golf long ago – consider what people pay for club memberships, their own golf carts, etc.
The biggest laugh, though, would be to know the actual factory cost of these irons – I assume made in China. I’d bet the markup would be astounding. Meanwhile, Titleist make tons of clubs in the “normal” price range, and eBay overflows with enough used golf equipment to keep equipped the huddled masses yearning for a tee time.

Vote for socialism? This is your answer? The biggest laugh (more like a sad shake of the head) is that you suggested such tripe in the first place!

I can’t believe that Titleist would even think of letting the public see such an ugly club from their company.The terrible part is, its an attempt to match PXG prices.

I don’t have a problem with the price, it’s a concept iron, not meant for general release
No doubt bmw and Aston Martin concept cars are really expensive too

One of those looks like nothing more than a tricked out Titleist T-MB iron.

$500 per club………….I just threw up in my mouth a little. Golf for most equipment is already pretty steep. At those prices I will not worry about them until they show up on the used rack 5 years from now.

New release date: 2040! I like the $50k asking price, but I wouldn’t pay over $42k for ’em!! On the floor crackin’ up! 🙂

I am a Titleist diehard, but I’m not sure what these are about or what they can do better than the AP1, MBT, AP2, CB or MB ???
Totally pointless

Why stop at $500? Let’s call it $1,200 per club and offer financing. #MoreMoneyThanSense

Should be at least $50K per club, no shaft or grip. /s
Insanely stupid program.
