The Titleist 716 T-MB 3-iron is a long-iron/utility-iron style club in a refined, “muscle-back” profile designed for skilled players who want a compact look at address combined with modern distance and launch technology. According to Titleist, the 716 T-MB line uses hollow-body construction with high-density tungsten weighting for a low and deep CG to deliver higher launch and more carry distance.
Key Features
-
Hollow-body construction + tungsten weighting: The club uses a thin, fast face and heavy tungsten in the heel/toe to push CG low/deep, supporting stronger lofts and higher launch.
-
Players’ profile look: Despite its performance features, the T-MB retains a blade-like top-line and minimal offset, giving the appearance of a players’ iron while offering enhanced launch/forgiveness.
-
Long-iron utility angle: In the specification list for the 716 T-MB, the #3 iron is listed at 20° loft.
-
Custom shaft compatibility: Though stock shafts are steel in many models, the T-MB line allows for custom shaft builds — your build with a graphite ~75 g “TX” flex shaft is a highly specialised custom build, which is less typical but can provide unique feel/weight benefits.
-
Forgiveness in a refined package: Reviews indicate that while the T-MB looks like a blade, its performance is much more forgiving than traditional muscle-backs, making it a strong option for better players who desire both look and performance.
