I recently purchased 2 Titleist 585 Hybrids, a 21* and a 24*
Both fitted with YS-6 85g shafts. The 85g shaft feels very heavy, maybe choosing a different lighter shaft will help me.

I find it easier to hit my 2 and 3 iron over these clubs. I use Titleist 680 blades playing off 5.

I have the YS shaft in my 905T and 904F 15 deg., both with stiff shafts. My driver swing speed is right around 114 mph and I still love my old Titleist driver along with the 904F 15 deg. which is easily the best 3wood I have ever owned.

Anyways, I was looking for a club to replace my 762 series 2 iron, which is a really great club off the tee for me, I can hit it around 230 with a medium trajectory. However, in the rough I have problems w/ carry, trajectory, and stopping the ball on the green from around 210-220 out (I generally hit a smooth 3 wood if I need to carry the ball 220+). Lately, I've just been hitting hard 4/3 irons from the rough to carry the ball as far as I need to.

I figured the 585.H would be a perfect fit...but I am having a great deal of difficulty even hitting the ball straight with this club! I feel like I have to forcifully release the club to avoid a nasty high cut shot I keep on hitting. With the same swing of my old 2 iron, I would hit a nice boring low-mid traj. and dead straight shot, even off the deck. The only thing I can think of is the shaft causing this problem. Keep in mind I've only hit this club 50 times or so and only on the range, but the results have been pretty poor thus far.

Any thoughts?

I am looking at these hybrids, but I am not extremely sure if I should get it. I am on the fence of being a mid and low handicap. I have hit it a few times and it feels good, but I am still not sure if I will be happy with it. I can hit my Ping 3-wood great and my long irons great, but that hybrid distance is still iffy. A little advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Excellent review and suggestion of the UST shaft. I had played the 585 for about a year and became frustrated with it. When it was struck on the screws in the right condition it would fly a long ways. I wanted to hit it out of a variety of conditions and found my old Taylor Made more forgiving. I took your suggestion and replaced the shaft with the UST and it instantly became my favorite club in the bag. 225 yards of the tee time and time again. The shaft allows a much higher ball flight and still allows hooks and fades on command. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a 905T , 906F2 wood 3 , and my irons are from 3 Iron to A from KZG ZO ( Zero Offset ). A 19 deg 585H just a tool that i need to fill between my wood 3 and 3 Iron. It replace my Adam TOur 5 Wood which i find hitting too high.

It is a utility club that i long for . Off the Tee , i am getting about 230Y and from the fairway about 215Y. Miss hit is like long irons and when you got it right , it gives you the trajectory and the distance that you want. Love the shaper and how the club at address , feels like my Irons.

A club for better players .

I'm a former 5 handicap who abandoned golf for a decade and started back up in my mid 30s, though now shooting in the low 80s. I don't think there were hybrids when I used to play and I initially, and foolishly, associated them with beginners (the equipment sure has changed in ten years!).

This 19 degree hybrid is a wonderful club. It's the size of my old rescue wood but lighter, with much better carry and control. It's like a having a 2 iron one can hit consistently and with more flight. It's very true: one can sort of punch it for a lower, really long roll, or swing through like a long iron or fairway wood. I use it twice as often as my 3 wood, which has become a club for tees and wide, safe par 5s. For anything else, this hybrid is a go-to club. It also leaves room for that critical extra wedge in my bag. Very happy with it - and with the Titleist AP2 iron, btw.
