Titleist U510 Driving Iron vs 917 F2 4 Wood

[Jul89]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to fit the Gap between my 16.5 degree Titleist 917 F2 4 wood and my Wishon 565 MC Forged 4 Iron, which I have bent down half a degree to 22,5 degrees. I was thinking tu utilize a titleist U510 Driving Iron. Either bend a 2 Iron a bit up or a 3 iron a tad down. 

 

Is the U510 really low spin or is it comparable to the 917 F2? I don't want too much spin, but also not too little. How does it compare to my 4 iron and the 4 wood?

 

I figure that I will save more shots with 4 wedges than with too many long clubs. That is why in the long game, there are larger gaps. I don't mind swinging a long club a little softer, if it means I have tight gaps with the wedges. Playing Stiff shafts at 100-105 mph driver speed.

Thanks

I have the 510 2 iron and I noticed I get a mid flight with a good amount of roll. I can hit it off the deck but I gotta land it short of the green as a shot landed on the green wont hold. That being said I do think it offers pretty good launch for a 2 iron and is fairly forgiving

Right, but i guess the same applies to my 4 wood right? If it stops as well as the 4 wood... I just don't want crazy much roll.

22.5 4 iron vs my 24' 4 iron, wow.   Anyway, you will need to adjust lofts which adds or removes bounce from club head.  Removing bounce can slightly decrease offset.   All depends on the club head design and starting spec and how club looks in your eye.  For a 2* increase in loft, offset will be reduced.  Most average golfers wouldn't notice offset adjustment.  Better golfers notice.

 

I hit U500 (17') & U510 (16'&18') before deciding on a new 718 T-MB 17' 2 iron, which fit nicely between my 21' 3i and TS2 16.5' 4wd with 3wd length and distance.  Even though lofts are close, club lengths make them nicely different, as are trajectories.  I can land my 17' 2i on a green and stop it - whether that happens or not depends on how you impact the ball and how hard you hit it.

 

Your last comment about saving shots with more wedges, will ONLY be true if you practice with those wedges.  I've seen plenty of guys with 3-4 wedges, but only use 2 because they seldom practiced with the other wedges, so their confidence was not up to par.
