  1. Was looking to get into a driving iron but as a lefty there aren’t many options. I’ve been seeing the U510 come up a lot in my searches. Is that a viable option?

  2. I have a TMB and it is good, but swing the u510 in a golf store (I’m a lefty too) and even mis hits we’re going. I’d definitely go newer series rather than older TMB

    The U510 is insane, like cheating! Great forgiveness and ball speed across the whole face. You will not be sorry!

    I was at a demo and the only 510 they had LH was the 1-Iron (16 degrees). There's no way I have the club head speed to consider one that de-lofted. But while it didn't gain much height, it was easy to hit, went straight and with a 4 degree launch rolled forever. For my next fitting for clubs transitioning from irons to fairways (even my 4W has more loft), I want to throw in the 3 and 4 irons into the fitting mix. Since Titleist doesn't have a LH 21 FW, this is an option to a hybrid.
  5. Yeah I think it would be something new for me. I hit irons well, and I'm really struggling with my woods. I could use the nice ball flight a driving iron can potentially give

    I understand. Over the past year, I have purchased two U510 driving irons (2 and 4). I don't use them all of the time, but enjoy having them when I am struggling with my medal woods.
  8. Same here. I'm thinking it might be my way out LOL

    Matt: I am left handed and have two U510 driving irons (2 degree and 4 degree). I don't use them all of the time but really enjoy having them as options. I have them with Project X Smoke shafts. They are smooth as can be and frankly, I find I hit them with more consistency, than I do with either my 5 wood or hybrid.
  10. Awesome to hear Rob! Definitely helps knowing that they're well liked. I think its definitely what I'm looking for. I need a more consistent flight and I really think they'll help

    All the 500/510 utility irons are offered I. Left handed. I have demo’d both and they are easy to hit and the results they generate are fantastic with an excellent ball flight.

    U500 - Loft Options (RH/LH): 2i (17°), 3i (20°), 4i (23°)

    U510 - Loft Options (RH/LH): 1i (16°), 2i (18°), 3i (20°), 4i (22°)

    What is your opinion about the standard HZRDUS smoke 5.5 80 gr. shaft in the U510? I never hit one but in my hand this club-shaft combo feels very heavy. What about the ball flight? Hope not to low, my swingspeed is about 88-90.

    I'm a lefty and added a U500 3 iron (20 deg) to the bag this year. I love it! I put the Tensei CK White 90 stiff graphite shaft in (low launch low spin) for a little more speed than steel. I replaced my 818 19 deg hybrid with it as I felt my hybrid was just launching higher than I like. I use it off the tee on shorter holes but it's very playable in fairway and light rough, too. The U500 is easy to hit and really jumps - my playing partners have taken notice. :)
