Joining the releases from Titleist today is their new utility iron, aptly named the U505.
Why U505? Well, because it is essentially like the U500 and U510, which were incredibly successful, had a baby. That baby is a blending of styles and principles with the new technology of the 2021 T-Series involved to create an even more playable utility iron.
Titleist is referring to this one as, “The Do It All Utility Iron” and it is aimed directly at the player looking for more speed and launch in their long irons.
Design wise, this one has a wider sole and chassis with a shorter blade length and more heel side CG which the Titleist Tour Staff directly asked for. Additionally, Max Impact technology is alive and well in the U505 while it also utilizes an engineered muscle plate that looks very similar to that on the T200 and a forged face insert for speed and feel.
The U505 really does take what was much loved from the U500 and U510 and with the Max Impact 2.0 looks to make a utility that gives Titleist an edge on set blending and versatility.
As for shaft pairings, the U505 will come standard with the Project X HZRDUS Black RDX hybrid shaft plugged in, though premium options of Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 85 and Tour AD-IZ 95 are also available. The utilities will be available in a 1-4 iron (16°, 18°, 20°, 22°) and be priced at $249 for the HZRDUS and $369 for Graphite Design.
Release date on these will be 8/26/21
