At the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club, Titleist begun it’s TOUR validation process—commonly recognized as the final step to obtain feedback from the professionals before launching them to the public—for the new TS2 and TS3 hybrids and U500 and U510 utility irons.

With respect to the TS2 and TS3 hybrids, it’s been approximately two years since the 818H1 and 818H2 hybrids were released.  Presuming the new hybrids follow the pattern established by the TS driver and fairway woods, the TS2 will likely be the more forgiving hybrid with a fixed CG location to help improve launch and forgiveness, while the TS3 will be equipped with a SureFit port in the toe to help dial in launch and spin.

Meanwhile, the U-Series utility irons appear to be breaking stride with the current-gen T-MBs, which have acted as the de facto utility iron, despite the fact that the 716 T-MB was released as a complete iron set.

Presumably, the U500 and U510 were designed as dedicated-utility irons and, therefore, will be sold as such.  Initial glances make it appear as if the U500 features a slimmer profile and, as a result, will be the lower launching model, while the U510 appears to larger with a wider sole, thereby making it the higher launching more “forgiving” (which isn’t exactly a word you’d use to describe utility irons) model.

Perhaps most interesting about the U500 and U510 is their appearance.  Indeed, a quick glance of the iron brings the recently released CP-01 and CP-02 CNCPT irons:

However, now with the 2019 U.S. Open Championship at Pebble Beach just days away, Titleist followed up with another product debut: the Titleist T100, 620 MB and 620 CB irons. Based on initial tour player testing and feedback, the new lineup is poised to continue Titleist’s run as the most played iron on the PGA Tour for each of the last five years and 14 of the last 15 seasons.

While much isn’t known about the 620 MBs and 620 CBs, there really isn’t too much new “technology” you can really incorporate into a traditionalist’s Tour Blade and Cavity Back.  On the other hand, the T100 really stands out and has some people guessing where it’ll fit into the Titleist lineup.  With the U-Series utility irons likely being the replacement to the current-gen T-MBs, perhaps the T100 is the next-gen AP2s (in which case, I genuinely hope the T100 isn’t the final name since it would be really sad for Titleist to drop the AP2 name).

Regardless, while most of the major manufacturers announce and release their newest products at the beginning of the year around the PGA Show, Titleist has demonstrated that January isn’t the only month that premium performing golf equipment gets debuted. Personally, I’m very excited to get some more information on all the new gear and to see how it performs.
