whoa!! get that baby off the asphault, man!!!! that is very nice, though, jp. i saw one in the store and they are great.

Will be curious to hear your thoughts once you get it out on the course. I picked one up earlier this week (19 with Aldila NV) and will not be able to play for another week or two, which is killing me. I have read quite a few good reviews on the various sites, so it seems to be favorably received thus far. I am replacing the 503H in my bag, and although I like the "iron look", I will not miss it's inherit ability to go left. As for the 585H, is it just me or does it seem to be a bit heavy?

[EdmontonGolfer]

Nice club man, but yeah, get it off the asphault!!!!

I'm not a big fan of hybrids but that is the best looking of the lot.

Any idea on how the 585's are weighted? So many of the retail heads out there today have so much draw bias in them, they're not worth hitting. I saw some today at our club and they look and setup nicely. I might try one if they're neutrally weighted or even a little fade bias.

[cubuffs]

Take this for what is worth, but from all the reviews I have read (which has been quite a bit), this club is very neutral and should avoid the typical hybrid miss to the left. I bought the club without hitting it outdoors (hit it on the local Golf Galaxy simulator and it looked real good, but I don't always trust it) based on the numerous reviews. I am coming from a 503H, and although I loved the iron like look, I will not miss the inherit ability to miss with a quick hook. I have not had a chance to get this on course yet (in South Dakota on a family event this weekend), but am looking forward to breaking this in on a long weekend in Colorado next week. I will post reviews when I am done.

I played today but only used it once off of the tee.

 

The weight balance was great and didn't feel heavy at all (to me).

 

Nice and solid feeling. I lost it to the right a little as what happens when I usually miss shots. but definitely a keeper.

 

It sets up beautifully and by far is the best looking hybrid I've owned (i.e. Rescue Mid, Nickent, LDI, Baffler Multi-Metal).

I have a 17° & 21° w/ DGS300 that I've been playing with for the past three weeks. Hands down this is one of the BEST hybrids that I've yet to try. Trajectory, distance, feel, and sound are dead on. I'm interested in how this will compare to the Baffler Pro, but as of right now the 585 is secure in my bag.

[mistral]

Picked one up last week (Actually three but two were for others.) Played 18 holes with only the 906F2, 585H, 5 iron, wedge and putter. Both the new Titleist's were superb. Missed only one drive right. I hit two tee shots expecting the wind to affect the ball but the ball went straight through the wind.

The clubs sound much softer than I am used to but the performance is as expected from Titleist. Great clubs which are now being reshafted with Accra SE80*. Highly recommended.

I just got my Friday night and played with it Saturday morning :beach: I couldn't wait... here is my quick review...

 

 

If I had to compare it to someting already in existance I will call it a cross between the TM hybrid and the Sonartec MD... The forgivness of the TM with the distance and feel of the MD :ok: ...

 

 

I know its a little heavier to me... but I like heavy so it works well for me... ;)

 

When I got it on the range it was hook machine for me, but after about 5 minutes I was working it left and right. I hit it about 5 times on the front 9 (I only had time for 9 :D ) I hit it good every time... Maybe not as long as my MD, but a lot more forgiveness...

 

To sum it all up... ;) :fool: ;) ;) ;) :cheesy: I gots myself a keep for a long time... or next week when the next big thing comes ou.... :D :)

[budathephat]

Thread Bump! :cheesy:

[golfebj]

budathephat...

 

How are you liking this compared to hybrids that you previously owned.

 

I think hands down for me appearance, performance, sound and feel are the best I've experienced.

[budathephat]

I think that the 585 :cheesy: is a little less forgiving than a lot of the hybrid's out there like the Nickent or TM's :fool: , but it is alot easier to hit than the sonar ;) ... I have hit alot of hybrids, but not all of them, so thats all the imput I have.

 

I have the 17* verison and hit it with a pretty boring ball flight, I like that, for me if I hit the 19* it would be too high.

 

That's it!... one more time!!! ;)

mine most definately seems heavy, then again the shaft is also 85 grams, personally i like it.

...the 19* 585.H is by far, the most solid hybrid i have hit. almost muscle back solid feeling. it is also neutral and l-o-n-g. about 10 yards longer than any 19* hybrid i have owned or demoed... i was hoping to like it, but was not prepared for how much. i have played tour edge tour ironwood's and think they are the best iron like hybrid out there. especially if you play irons with very little offset. i recently switched to A2's in 4/3/2.. the 4/3 perform very well and i consider them a cross between an iron and wood hybrid, the best of both worlds. however the 2 did not give me the distance i was hoping for. after owning the rm tp, dual tp, nickent, clk, md, j33 utility and the A2, i was still lookin for a 2i/5wood replacement. the 585 is certainly it. as long as any 5 wood and longer than any 2 hybrid. it is in my bag. i don't believe i have ever been convinced of a new club so quickly. i have a feeling it may not be as forgiving as some of the others however, bcoz it is just so darn solid. i highly recommend you demo one to see how it works for your swing.

it really is amazing, mines dead straight and soooo long too. I demoed and bought mine in the same day.

[JHR]

I am glad to hear that everyone thinks the same thing that i do, these are great hybrids and i will keep this one in my bag over any others.

I hit it like two or three times into a net and bought it one the spot.
