Fantastic review! Great data, not rushed....excellent teamwork.
That reaction at 9:18 is pure gold 😆
Swing looking great, Ian! Looks more athletic than even a few months ago 👌🏽
The T200 seems to look better to me in my eyes but I tend to favour hybrids and fairway woods more based on the courses and conditions here in Malaysia. Waiting for the lockdown to end so that I can get to test the new 2021 collection from Titleist. Thanks for the great reviews and content guys 👍👍👍.
Good video, I have a U505 3iron 20deg, it's been a pleasant surprise. I have it in the bag as an alternative to the hybrid. I typically only use it off the tee on course. Back in the day I could swing a 2 iron dead straight off the tee, missed that ball flight on tight courses, now I'm happy again with the U505.
This type video with the tech, the course management insights, the educational component, and the beautiful shots is why TXG is so good. The 3 people that downvoted this are clueless.
Love my U505. Perfect blend of the U500 and U510.
This might be the upgrade for my 716 TMB 2 iron. Loving the look of these!!!
The science behind what you guys do is perfect
Noone else does this
I have a U510 and love it off the tee.
keep up the great work boys. on the way to 300k!!
Definitely food for thought. I just don’t like the look of anything too big behind the ball when holding an iron. T200 looks like a great option. Would love to hear your thoughts on shaft choices!
We need more TXG course vlogs!
boys we need more course vlogs ASAP
lol, Ian, that was a great shot haha!! (edit: don’t want to spoil anything)
Great comparison
Would have liked to see you try to hit the stinger with the 505 and the high approach with the t200 just to show how limited they might actually be.
Likewise , I would have liked to see how they match up on the same shots.
Has to be easier to knock the 505 down more consistently compared to adding height to the T200
Agreed. However having tested both off turf I can attest as you would imagine flighting the T200 is easier than hitting a low ball with 505. However all shots did seem possible and if you have a decent level of shot making they will do what you want. I went with U505 rdx black 6.5 90g 2 iron as this seemed unbelievably forgiving accross the face and the only shot harder to hit was stinger but in reality I can do that easily enough with 4 iron on the rare occasion I need it. . For reference my hdcp is 5.2 at present.
When are you guys going to go back out on the course?Ithink you should add a mini series of a 18 hole match a week.Keep up the great reviews.
I ordered the 505 last week! Glad I made the right choice!
I was just looking at these yesterday
I have no confidence in my current hybrid. So despite being a higher handicapper, I think I'm going to test drive some of the new utility irons.
I have the u500 cut to 4 iron length with an x100 in it, my absolute go to club for short par 4s. Just 245 down the middle everytime.
Similar here, the 2 bent down to 15* with a 3i length GD AD DI105x. Absolute low spin bomber off the tee, and can get it to land pretty soft from the fairway. 270-290 off the tee, 250-270 from the fairway. Love a good 2 iron with a shortish shaft
Awesome comparison review! A quick question, please. Did you guys tip the shaft?
Would love to take some swings with that U505. I currently play the 2019 T200 irons 4-PW. Thinking about swapping out my 4 for a U505 4.
Currently gaming Epon Tour CB. The T100s and T200 combo is really intriguing me. It’s just so hard for me to accept moving away from an Endo forged club.
recently I just can't hit my driver with any consistency, so I been driving with a p790 17* 39.5 inch, I swing it 100 mph, it goes about 240 more or less, the distance can be adjusted with tee height if I need to hit it a little shorter, really liking it. I think I just can''t handle the swing plane of driver sometimes. Driver is really kind of intimidating with the length and head size, causes me to swing too hard and out of control.
I just realized that “in to wind” in this video is 10 mph which in links golf is the same as no wind :P
Would be great to see a video on how to handle windy conditions which should be at least 20+ mph.
Ian can you please review the l.a golf shafts tour axis blue shaft please. Let matty let loose were around similar club speed.
Would LOVE to see the t200 UDI up against the previous U500. The u500 was an incredible DI and think the t200 would be a good comparison review
I'd be interested to know your view on these clubs - how painful is it to fat it? I have 110 chs with driver but when I mishit my U510 with Hzrdus smoke shaft it sends so many bad vibrations up my arms!!!!!!
How would you compare the T200 utility to the set iron? Have you compared them at all?
Question is a utility iron like the 505 going to have the same length of shaft to a traditional club if you get them in a “3” or will the utility 3 iron have a longer shaft than the traditional 3 iron? I recently bought a used 500 utility and noticed the shaft is longer than my 3 iron.
Ian was 100% correct at 9:18
Which one would have more stopping power for a 4i replacement?
Would be great to review against the u500 and u510?
Interesting. I would’ve thought the 505 would carry more and the 200 would run more.
I have trouble hitting hybrids because they almost all draw too much. Would this be a better option? Are they less draw biased or maybe a little flatter lie? Or are there any options for a hybrid that has a flatter lie?
I have the same issue. In my experience, yes. I tend to slightly push the driving irons and have a slight draw. My miss with them is a smidge right but it’s far more consistent than the hooking hybrid.
how it compares with the TaylorMade DHY ? same category?
U500 every day for me. Wonder how far things have progressed since the 2005 J33 Air Muscle (Hollow body). Hmmm
Where the U505 is a forged club, assuming it would be okay to bend it and strengthen loft; what other side effects would it cause?? Any negatives?
Your angle of attack was more shallow with the T200. Was that intentional flr how the clubs are meant to be hit?
Curious why no one punches a driver off the tee for a nice low and under the wind 2 iron type shot. Runs a mile too.
Hey there, may i be able to adjust by bending the 505U? Loft & lie
Has a patent prevented Titleist putting a polymer or rubber in the head?. I just feel that it was the missing ingredient with the 510 series. To me the UDI and PXG irons feel so much better than the Titleist
How's t200 compare to u500?
I kinda dont understand the point of a 2 iron other than playing tee shots into the wind. I would assume a hybrid or a wood would be much easier to hit a green with?
Not just into the wind. It's a club for better players that they can keep in play off the tee.
A lot of hybrids just go left. These Utility's are so much easier to hit off the deck, compared to the models from just 3/4 years ago.
For me I just personally like the look of mine down by the ball. It seems weird but I actually hit my driving iron better then my hybrid and 4 wood.
Objectively you're correct but subjectively personal preference on visuals is huge. Also finding the right hybrid that doesn't turn over a ton is much more difficult for better fast players than people realize
To add what some of the guys are saying here. A lot of hybrids are draw/hook biased - increase the swing speed and it just exaggerates more and more which makes it less desirable off the tee.
You should take a look at the last video these guys did talking about the Cobra hybrid that Matt is going to try. At the beginning he was drawing it more than he’d like with lower flight but they messed with it to change the descent angle as well as other things.
In the end it will always be situational which club suits you better
5 min mark. You seem to have forgotten the 1 deg loft difference. With the results so close together, my observation is that at the same loft, the u505 would give the same ball data and probably more foregiveness.
More titleist
What length do you use those irons at? Like 39"?
39.75”
What prompted the AD-IZ as the shaft of choice?
It’s a low launch and low spin shaft, typically this is what is expected from a driving iron being used to find the fairway in windy/less than ideal conditions. Not universally true though!
@@ProfessorSteez not according to the GD website... it's listed as high launch
@@keithfinley2939 the website actually says mid launch, if you’re going to be the newest Google University graduate at least get it right 😂
At 95g in extra stiff it’s lower launching than most shafts out there.
Not enough to part with my T-MB. Can hit it high and low.
The U505 sounds like a submarine.
Whats the U505 like compared to the U500??
Not even close, t200 more u500 like for like
Wish I hit my not so great shots to 2 feet....
This might be just me, but I think calling it T200 is a marketing mistake 🤔😬
I guess it because they blend in with the T200 irons.
Can you guys test forgiveness in your reviews? Can you purposely hit off center shots to show the level of forgiveness in some of the products? Lot of us are high handicap players so a section for forgiveness would be nice.
THUMBS DOWN
(Ian hits the utility iron as far as I hit my driver))
😂, we’ve got some speed related content coming soon!!
@@ianfrasergolf Thank you. Hoping to see something for those of us wanting to break the 100mph barrier (early release has always been my problem). Many of us aren't 110-115 wanting to get to Matty's speed and I'm sure I'm not the only 50+ golfer here.
