What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 320 is 35° and the 360 is 34°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the 360 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 320. Across the 12 clubs both sets share, the 360 averages 0.5° stronger, with the largest gap at the 5-iron (27° vs 26°). The pitching wedges are 47° and 46°; the stronger one leaves a 4° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the 320 7-iron sits 0.5° flatter (62° vs 62.5°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as investment cast. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
Both sets were introduced in 2001, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: TaylorMade designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The 360 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the 320 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TaylorMade 320 stronger lofted than the 360?
No. The 360 is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 34° against 35° for the TaylorMade 320, 1° stronger and worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the TaylorMade 320 and 360?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (35° vs 34°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 5-iron, and 6 of the 12 shared clubs differ.
Are the TaylorMade 320 and 360 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the TaylorMade 320 and 360 have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the TaylorMade 320 is 62° lie and 37 inches, the 360 62.5° and 37 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
