- The PERFECT Mid Handicap Clubs? TITLEIST U500 & TITLEIST U510 To partner the titleist 620 range of irons we now also have the titleist u500 and titleist u510 driving irons... this is the mid handicap review of the clubs and I personally think for people who don't like hybrids these could be the perfect golf club for mid handicap golfers. should you use a hybrid vs driving iron? a 5-wood vs driving iron? who should use a driving iron? or a utility iron? can a mid handicap golfer use a 1 iron? lets find out... and lets do it now!
I am a 5 handicap and just bought the U 510 and LOVE IT! So easy to hit and for shaping shots. Low from the tee and from deck this is amazing. 85 feet hight with 45 landing angle and +4000 rpm :)
I'm a 7 handicap and carry the U510 2 iron. Often play a fairly short course (350 avg par 4) that is ungodly tight and 100% tree lined tee to green. There are a few par 4s in the 300-320 range I can break out the driver and go for it, but I absolutely love the U510 on the standard par 4s. Easy to hit and puts it out there 250 average yards. So I typically have a 9i to SW left into the green. Perfect for my game. I will say it's very difficult for me to hit off the ground if it's the stick I want to hit into a par 5 on a 2nd shot. I'm used to looking down at thin lined Mizuno mp20s, so it's a bit off-putting off the deck. I considered the U500 but because I'm not really interested in moving the ball and just trying to get it in play, I went with the high handicapper version.
I also play another course that's out in the open and subject to very high winds. South Dakota is crazy windy. So if it's a day where I know the wind will be up and I need to hit keep it low, it's quite easy to hit a stinger to thump a midget in the forehead at 100 yards and keep the wind from moving it around.
Dare I say the look or appearance of these clubs is similar to the very popular TaylorMade P790. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thanks James. Appreciate the addition of Mark on this channel. His insight is very relatable for me.
Tried the U510 in 3 and the U500 in 2 iron today ...the shafts were different in flex 5.5 and 6.0 .....didn’t like the look of the U510 but it was very easy to hit and did go a mile...
Like Mark said... “... they are supposed to be driving irons...”. Why test them from the deck? I carry a 3i driving iron, and does nothing for me off the fairway, but off a small tee, it’s an absolute rocket launcher and a beast in windy conditions. Bring these on the course and test them off the tee and results will be much different.
I’m looking forward to trying these clubs on Tuesday, good effort Mark and I would like to see a video with James and Mark trying them out on the course
I got gapr in my bag, and that feels just solid, looks perfect i won't take it out until i am going in to the pga tour.
Always watch you guys, great job but I’ve seen Mark hitting 4 iron longer!! Can u explain why James???
When ???
My Srixon U65 3 iron is awesome. 20 degrees loft..... it’s a great looking driving iron and is my ‘go to’ club in windy conditions. These look similar 👍🏻😁⛳️
Titleist vs Taylormade vs Ping long iron mid handicapper test like you have done previously!!! Cross section and then mixture of all!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Sounded like he was getting them a bit heavy, and maybe didn't have quite the club head speed to get enough out of them?
Well if it's a driving iron, don't most people use them with a short tee instead of off the deck? Pardon my ignorance, but most mid-handicappers don't have the swing speed to get the most out of these types of clubs off the deck.
Give us a video out on the course 3 hole you vs mark with his new clubs to many club reviews and not enough golf ⛳️
I was just hitting that in a 1 iron the other day and I think its a great club
A bit of a struggle. A bit more practice with the clubs might help and may be his swing wasn’t top form on the day.
What handicap is Mark? What do you consider a mid handicap? Great video by the way!!!
Obviously not the club for Mark. I use a 5 wood myself and switch out my 4 iron and my 7 wood as needed...or when one has been a bad boy
Keen to see Mark hit the bigfoot wedge.
Hit both yesterday, prefer the 500. Hit it better vs 510.
Great videos James, love your channel, I'm playing almost 20 year old Taylor Made firesole irons with the bubble 2 shafts. Is it time to upgrade? Thanks!!!
Ben Rich ha i have just upgraded from them great clubs
Love the content guys but could you please stop using clickbaity titles? It's a tad too extreme now. Naming your video "The PERFECT Mid handicap club" when your mid handicapper clearly can't use it is kind of annoying.
It's kind of a douchebag title really, given the content and the ending.
Defo needs to hit from a tee most mid to high won't hit it off the deck often
Surprised that the “higher handicap version” does not go down to a 5 Iron, but that’s true to form with Titleist. I prefer the more “iron-looking” hybrids, so I’ve just about given up on Titleist. At least with Mizuno, they don’t force you into “Wood-looking” hybrids if you want a 5 Iron replacement.
Unless you are a good ball striker with a faster than average swing speed these are not for you. Mark's distances with the utility clubs (ignoring the crap shots) were broadly a little down on what I would expect from my 4H lofted up to 23 degrees, and I carry a 3H and a 5W (and I am not a really good player or particularly long)
Not a club for Mark, due to the dispersion and distance discrepancy, going with the hybrid, as Mark says is probably preferred. 🏌️♂️🏒⛳
Looks like a quick production Titleist put out to sell. Looks like Imitations of TM P790’s. Not bad looking..... but not that appealing either.
The 510 is chunky like the GAPR clubs.
I really think you should have given a tee to Mark. Hitting a driving iron off the deck just is not ideal for a mid handicapper. Also, a lighter shaft option would been better for him.
Supprised on poor distance
Still wouldnt like to give mark 5 shots
Put an old ping eye2 1 iron as driving iron my 210yd shot
Keep in mind, only you can see the clubhead, everyone else sees the shot you hit with it.
I really like the look of both these clubs!
I’ll have to try them before I decide if either of them could replace my 2i & 4i T-MBs though.
I really love my T-MBs so it’s going to take some doing to pry them out of bag.
This review makes me think my wallet
May be safe for now.
😀
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
why hitting without a tee? its the purpose of this club
I wasn’t impressed with these and I play titleist irons. Liked the T-Mb better
Looks suspiciously like a p790???
Definitely fancy that 510 (I think I've got that right. The slimmer one)
500 is the slimmer one.
Mark clearly does not have the club head speed to hit any of these
That wAs the worst help I could ask for!
So Mark on Twitter is @golfspriggsy
Yes I’ve put it in all our videos
@@JamesRobinsonGolf Yeah, but this video has it as @golfspriggy

510 is mid handicapper the 500 is single digits
Hes like Rick shields rob potter . Come on get more original.
Again false advertisement from the big companies. I hate the terms they use. Low handicap to high handicap clubs.
Your gonna have to elaborate on that one Craig... “they” have used no such term. I have.
Pointless
Yes... this comment is pretty pointless Graham.
I agree
Those clubs look boring
You have said a couple of times .......Hybrid or 5 wood....... should you not have both??????? My longest iron is 5 and I have a 3 hybrid and my favourite club a 5 wood. The 5 wood is longer than the hybrid so I figure it fills the gap. Am I wrong?????
You're not wrong if it fills the gap you need, but for many people a 4 hybrid (the most common) and a 5 wood, tend to go about the same distance. TXG has a great video comparing the two clubs.
