712 u

[hoffygolfsalot]

Just interested on thoughts on this club, have read that you need to be a really good long iron player to babe one of these? Haven't tested one out yet but am keen to!

The titleist 712 series Utility wedge ?

[Shane788]

I've got the 2 and 4 still looking for the 3 but I agree with being a decent ball striker is a massive help, miss hits are pretty harsh but there so soft out of the middle. great irons.

I've got the 2 and 4 still looking for the 3 but I agree with being a decent ball striker is a massive help, miss hits are pretty harsh but there so soft out of the middle. great irons. What's your set up like? I am playing a 4 iron and 4 hybrid, but looking at something that will give me a lower more penetrating ball flight off the tee and off the deck. Would you recommend the 3 or 4?

[3oneday]

I would have thought a normal hybrid to be more playable for a 15 marker.

The titleist 712 series Utility wedge ? The 712U driving iron, sorry should of put it in the title.

[hoffygolfsalot]

I would have thought a normal hybrid to be more playable for a 15 marker.The hybrids are working well for me at the moment but am playing a fair bit, my handicap was 15 start of last year then had a break due to year 12. Am Back into it now need to get my cards in to get a new number. But as I said am looking for something that gives me abit of a lower more penetrating ball flight.

[Shane788]

Hybrid is definitely easier to hit but I'm a pretty decent ball striker so I like playing longer irons but I'll still throw the hybrids in depending on conditions and what course. Bit of practice with the hybrid and you can hit low penetrating bullets.

[hoffygolfsalot]

Defiantly don't plan to get rid of the hybrid in my bag, just am drawn to this club might give it a hit on track man and see where it's fits in my yardages.
On titleist website it says it's a custom order? Do I have to go directly through titleist to get one?
Thanks for your help

Went into pro-shop with the intention of getting a 712U - came out with a 910 hybrid instead after results on the launchmonitor showed me I was getting way more distance and accuracy with the hybrid. Then again I'm a fairly high handicapper.

[mrbluu]

I had the 4 and didn't think it was that much easier to hit than a AP2 4iron.

I prefer my hybrids.

Pretty good, but tbh i find the s+ shaft in the 913H better for me (it feels a bit softer in flex vs the Kalil).

[hoffygolfsalot]

Pretty good, but tbh i find the s+ shaft in the 913H better for me (it feels a bit softer in flex vs the Kalil). Much difference between the 913h and the 910h? Is it worth the extra dosh?

[Icestorm959]

On the second hand market i think the difference is only about $30 now, so Id say yes. Not worth the full retail difference though

Just interested on thoughts on this club, have read that you need to be a really good long iron player to babe one of these? Haven't tested one out yet but am keen to! The answer is yes, you do have to be a good ball striker to hit it. Had one, now have a Mizzy MP-H4 which is substantially easier to hit.

I really like them but I also haven't used a lot of different irons. I have tried the AP1's so no idea how they go. As I understand they have strong lofts and are more offset than the AP2's.

[du-ponte]

if you're considering a 712U and aren't a good ballstriker, look towards the mizuno fli hi irons.

thick sole/base to pick the ball up cleanly...without the chunked shots. my mate who plays off 3 has both...i'm off 1 and can only hit the mizuno fli hi consistently (and really enjoying hitting it on tough long par 3's...ie 195m ones... much easier than hitting a hybrid accurately)

i hit one today on a short par 4 today for a laugh after i laced my 4 wood... hit the 712U about as far as i hit my 6 iron... not hitting that thing again haha!

Have just been fit for the AP2s was tough not to go the AP1s! My thinking was its a iron set i can play for awhile, unless my club hoeing takes toll!

I meant I haven't hit the AP1's.

There are few of the lads on here that didn't like the AP2's but that's just personal preference.

I nearly moved mine on about 6 months ago cos I bought mizuno's with c-tapers but so glad I didn't.

Will defiantly have a look at the mizzys then, gives me something to consider. Dont want something that i cant hit flush!
Thanks du-ponte

Played with a 1 marker recently who was piping his Fli Hi 2-iron. Said he couldn't hit hybrids...

Digging up an oldie.
Thinking of grabbing a 712u/S300 for hits n giggles to sometimes switch with my 18.5* hybrid. I don't have any drama hitting my hybrid how I want & it's just an itch I'd like to scratch. My next iron is a 5 iron that I give a fair nudge, so it's a gap filling between my 5 iron & 5 wood. I've hit these a handful of times over the last couple of years but can't remember whether they were a 2,3 or 4?
For those that have them or have hit them quite a bit do they launch high/low?
I'm trying to work out if I want a #2 or a 3. If they come out a little high I may get away with a 2 but if not a 3 may be the way to go?
Appreciate your input, cheers.

[mrbluu]

I found the TM UDI's nicer to hit than the 712U.

[JADO75]

Cast snob sorry Bluu, going the forged Titty way

[Dangals]

Got a 2 and a 4 and have no issues getting them airborne. I don't feel they launch any higher than my normal irons

[Jazz18]

I've got a 19deg 910H for sale. Check the list I sent you for you're Dad to look at.

I've hot 21deg one of these I want to move on as well Ben. It's 2 models before they came out with the H4. Got a project x 5.5 in it with a golf pride multi compound on it. Great condition

[Jazz18]

I think so too.

Just re read my post & realised I got it wrong sorry. I've been playing my 5 wood instead of my hybrid & the 712u will be a replacement for my 5 wood/hybrid. So it'll be between my 3 wood (12* mini sldr) & 5 iron.
Thanks again

Jado... the deal your looking for:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/waitara/golf/titleist-712-u-hybrid-iron-set-2-3-4/1085004170

No idea of seller but massive deal IMO!

Somebody grab this! That's a huge bargain

[golfbound]

I would love to but its pick up only. Can anyone collect and post for me

[golfbound]

Bugger they sold......

[JADO75]

Yes they did (smiley face)

[wazandnic]

Yes they did (smiley face)

haha... great pick up... even at Oz golf prices you will get your money back on those I reckon! ;)

[JADO75]

Organised them early early this morning & they're in pretty good nick so it's happy days. Bluu sent me the link for them early this arvo too, thanku Bluu.

[FuzzyJuzzy]

Yes they did (smiley face)

Saw these yesterday. Solid bargain. Jado, you're a bit young to be starting your iron set-up with a 5-iron, aren't you?:). For a strapping young lad like yourself, who drives it like this bloke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYI0bPnvzOY , surely you can handle a 4-iron...:).

[golfbound]

Dibs please

[JADO75]

I don't need a 4 iron brotha, the 5 goes far enough. Only one of the U's would be in the bag instead of my 5 wood/hybrid or unless the course or conditions warranted carrying two of them & I'd drop a wedge.

[golfbound]

if you want to partwith any of them please let me know

[JADO75]

Fair chance I'll be selling one, probably the 4 but it'll be to pay for the other two sorry

[golfbound]

bugger oh well good pick up let me know what your after.
