EQUIPMENT: Titleist Releases New U•505 Utility & T200 Long Irons

Titleist has introduced 7 new opportunities for golfers who are looking to increase launch and spin from their utility and long irons, including 4 options in the new U•505 model and 3 irons from the new T200 family.

“The new U•505 is the direct result of tour player feedback of the original U•500 and U•510 utility irons,” said Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing. “The U•505 combines the best of both and the result is our highest performing and most playable utility iron yet. The new T200 long irons offer similar high launch and speed with the look and feel of an iron set at the top of the bag.”

U•505 | PERFORMANCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Featuring a thinner forged L-Face and the infusion of Max Impact Technology (Max Impact 2.0), the U•505 is Titleist’s highest COR (Coefficient of Restitution, which is a measurement of how much energy, or speed, the club face is imparting into the golf ball) utility iron ever. A new reconfigured hollow body, core support structure, and enhanced high resilience polymer core, ensures that dynamic speed generation now comes with superior feel and sound.

But speed isn’t the only trick, as Titleist incorporated denser D18 tungsten weights and a brazing process used in aerospace construction to concentrate weight more efficiently and be even more precise with CG placement. In the U•505 utility iron, that meant sliding it lower and towards the heel, where tour pros and better players felt it improved launch dynamics the most.

And to make sure the U•505 blends closer to the rest of your T-Series irons, the U•505 has been designed with a shorter blade and shallow face but kept the wide sole to maintain all of the performance advantages while moving towards a look that feels more in line with an irons set.

The U•505 is offered with an exclusive shaft option: the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX HYB in 80 and 90 gram weights.  Featuring the Hexcel HexTow IM carbon fiber in the tip for added stability and lower torque, the HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX is designed with optimized material placement for improved feel and playability, with a focus on a low/mid-launch, low/mid spin design.

T200 LONG IRONS | THE TOUR’S DISTANCE IRON

For better players who are looking for an even more compact profile, new T200 long irons are designed for golfers who are looking for long irons that increase launch and speed at the top of their bag. Indeed, the new T200 can currently be found in several Tour players’ bags, including Jordan Spieth (2-iron), Justin Thomas (2-iron), Bern Wiesberger (2-iron), and Charley Hoffman (2-iron), among several others.

Much like the T200 irons, the T200 Long Irons feature a multi-material hollow body construction with the improved Max Impact Technology that provides core support and enhanced high resilience polymer core that improves both off-center speed and mass efficiency at impact across the forged, high COR SUP-10 L-Face Insert.

To enhance sound, feel and looks, the T200 Long Irons feature an engineered muscle plate that modifies the impact sound and saves weight, all in an optimized and streamlined 17-4 chassis. A shorter blade length, less offset (same as T100), narrower topline and thinner sole provide a tour-inspired look and feel while delivering maximum speed and distance.

“With the U•505 and the T200 Long Irons, we have players covered regarding what they are seeking in launch, speed, feel and looks at the top of the bag,” said Marni Ines, Director, Titleist Irons Development, Golf Club R&D. “The immediate positive feedback we have received by players who have put these in play has been encouraging. They love the balance of the height advantage and control they are getting from a utility and long iron. That’s what these clubs give you. In addition, players love the look when they put it down at address. Even though they may play blades or T100’s in their regular set, they want the confidence and forgiveness these clubs provide irons when they set them down.”
