Up Close: Titleist U500 and U510 Utility Irons

Titleist has announced the newest additions to their utility iron lineup — the U500 and U510 models. Available for fittings on August 8 and in golf stores everywhere on August 30, these utility irons are sure to appeal to mid- to low-handicap players around the globe.

Titleist U500 and U510 utility irons.

From Titleist:

• The U•500 is the player’s utility iron designed for superior shot making. The extremely versatile, low loft utility features a compact shape that delivers high launch with a soft landing and precise distance control.

• The U•510 provides hybrid-like performance in a forgiving, muscular iron shape. The high-launching, easier-playing utility offers a larger, wide-sole design for consistent shot-after-shot performance. U•510 creates such a powerful combination of distance, launch and forgiveness that Titleist engineers were able to create a 16-degree 1-iron that is very playable from both the tee and turf.

Both options will be on display at this week’s 2019 Open Championship, which is no surprise as more players are putting Titleist utility irons into their bags.

“There are a lot of golfers out there who don’t want to play a hybrid, but are still searching for that kind of performance at the long end of their iron set,” said Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Clubs. “They want to be able to launch it higher and farther, they want to be able to shape shots, they want to be able to land it close to the hole – they just want to do it with an iron in their hands. Everything that went into U•500 and U•510 was geared towards giving these golfers the performance, look and feel they’ve always hoped for in a long iron, and maybe didn’t think was possible.”
