What Titleist says about the new U505 utility irons:

“U505 lets you reclaim your long iron game. Drawing on Tour input, the refined design provides the high, explosive launch you expect from a utility, now with a remarkably solid feel and sound.

“With a shorter blade and shallow face, U505 sets up the way Tour Pros feel a utility should. Now with an even cleaner design, there is nothing to distract you from hitting the exact shot and shape your playing position demands.

“For U505, Titleist engineers use a refined Max Impact Technology with added dampening in the polymer muscle badge to guide the frequencies created at impact into the ideal player range.

“U505 features a more stable, reengineered chassis and a lower CG position to help maintain speed and stability on strikes made away from centre.

“The new single taper face improves performance towards the heel for tighter overall distance dispersion.

“Working with Tour Pros and the grind experts at Vokey Design, our engineers were able to further improve our Variable Bounce Sole by softening the trailing edge to allow the club to flow faster through the turf, even after contact. A scoring iron refinement for one of the longest clubs in your bag.”
