👍 Buy This If

You want a driving iron that performs: Prior to reading this article, you may have been on the fence about trying a driving iron. Well, we are here to tell you, they’re worth trying, specifically, Titleist U•505. In most scenarios, you’ll be hitting a driving iron off the tee box. Titleist U•505 delivers accuracy and distance. Even at 18°, we saw Titleist U•505 produce playable peak heights and descent angles. This suggests you could even consider this driving iron as a direct long iron or hybrid replacement. It is the best for accuracy and distance, so the performance is there. It is up to you whether or not it is a viable option for your golf bag.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You want forgiveness: Driving irons have an Achilles heel – forgiveness. Mishits are brutal on these golf clubs. Relative to the field, Titleist U•505 has a performance drop off in our forgiveness scoring category. This is surprising as Titleist U•505’s design suggests it is a “forgiving” driving iron. If you are considering this driving iron and we highly suggest you do, be wary that it might not be consistent shot-to-shot.
