TITLEIST INTRODUCES NEW U•505 UTILITY AND T200 LONG IRONSDesigned for Golfers Seeking to Increase Launch and Speed from Long IronsNew from Titleist Titleist introduces seven new opportunities for golfers who are looking to increase launch and spin from their utility and long irons, including four options in the new U•505 model and three irons from the new T200 family. Titleist has been the overwhelming most played utility iron on the PGA Tour for several years running and the addition of the new U•505 and T200 long irons will contribute to its most played position. The new U•505 utility iron and T200 long irons will be available for fittings starting today and available in golf shops globally beginning August 26. “The new U•505 is the direct result of tour player feedback of the original U•500 and U•510 utility irons,” said Josh Talge, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club Marketing. “The U•505 combines the best of both and the result is our highest performing and most playable utility iron yet. The new T200 long irons offer similar high launch and speed with the look and feel of an iron set at the top of the bag.” “With the U•505 and the T200 Long Irons, we have players covered regarding what they are seeking in launch, speed, feel and looks at the top of the bag,” said Marni Ines , Director, Titleist Irons Development, Golf Club R&D. “The immediate positive feedback we have received by players who have put these in play has been encouraging. They love the balance of the height advantage and control they are getting from a utility and long iron. That’s what these clubs give you. In addition, players love the look when they put it down at address. Even though they may play blades or T100’s in their regular set, they want the confidence and forgiveness these clubs provide irons when they set them down.” Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Charley Hoffman, Garrick Higgo, Adam Scott and Bernd Wiesberger were among several players who added new T200 2-irons to their bag at Royal St. George’s. U•505 | THE PLAYERS UTILITY IRONImproving upon the foundation of the previous generation U•510 and U•500, the new U•505 is a wide-soled, high-launching utility club. Designed for the player who is looking to increase launch and speed from their long irons with a faster face, the U•505 features evolved Max Impact 2.0 technology and new denser D18 tungsten weights, delivering improved sound and feel with outstanding versatility. The player’s shape provides confidence at address. U•505 | PERFORMANCE AND TECHNOLOGYSpeed that Feels Amazing: With a thinner forged L-Face and the infusion of Max Impact Technology (Max Impact 2.0), the U•505 is Titleist’s highest COR utility iron ever. A new reconfigured hollow body, core support structure, and enhanced high resilience polymer core, ensures that dynamic speed generation now comes with superior feel and sound.Better Tungsten for Better Launch: Utilizing Denser D18 tungsten weights and a brazing process used in aerospace construction, Titleist engineers were able to concentrate weight more efficiently and be even more precise with CG placement. In the U•505 utility iron , that meant sliding it lower and towards the heel, where tour pros and better players felt it improved launch dynamics the most. Looks Like an Iron: Based on U•510 player input, the U•505 was designed with a shorter blade and shallow face but kept the wide sole to maintain all of the performance advantages while moving towards a look that feels more in line with an irons set.T200 LONG IRONS | THE TOUR’S DISTANCE IRONThe new T200 long irons are designed for the better player who is looking for long irons to increase launch and speed at the top of their bag. Tour players currently carrying T200 long irons include Jordan Spieth (2-iron), Justin Thomas (2-iron), Bern Wiesberger (2-iron) and Charley Hoffman (2-iron), among several others. The 2, 3 and 4 T200 long irons, with lofts of 17*, 20* and 22*, respectively, are the choice of those players who want maximum speed with their longest irons, but prefer compact player’s irons for looks versus a utility iron.T200 LONG IRONS | PERFORMANCE & TECHNOLOGYPower Packed Design: Every component of the multi-material hollow body construction contributes to the long, consistent distance of the T200 Long Irons. The improved Max Impact Technology includes a core support design and an enhanced high resilience polymer core that improves both off-center speed and mass efficiency at impact across a forged, high COR SUP-10 L-Face Insert.Multi-Material Body: An engineered muscle plate contributes to precision sound tuning and saves weight which is optimized in a streamlined 17-4 chassis. A shorter blade length, less offset (same as T100), narrower topline and thinner sole, provides a tour-inspired look and feel while delivering maximum speed and distance.Better Tungsten for Better Progression: Utilizing denser D18 tungsten weights in the T200 long irons provides greater mass efficiency and allowed Titleist engineers to position the CG more precisely for maximum benefit, that is, fast, forgiving, and high launching long irons.FEATURED SHAFT: U•505 OnlyHZRDUS Smoke Black RDX HYB (80, 90g)Hexcel HexTow IM carbon fiber in the tip for added stability and lower torque.Optimized material placement for improved feel and playabilityLow-mid launch, low-mid spinPREMIUM SHAFTS: U•505 and T200 LONG IRONS (Custom Only)Graphite Design Tour AD-DI Hybrid Shaft (85g)Mid launch, low-mid spinGraphite Design Tour AD-IZ Hybrid Shaft (95g)Low-mid launch, low spinGraphite Design has the most played hybrid shafts on PGA Tour GRIP: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 with white paint fill and black flat cap.PRICING: $249 MAP (HZRDUS shaft) | $369 MAP (GDI shafts)ON THE WEB: For more information, please visit: www.titleist.com/ ...

From PGTAA member Dr. Patrick CohnDo you become so stressed out in training or before competition that you don’t enjoy competing and perform horribly? Do you feel you cannot do anything about your stress levels or believe that you are just a nervous athlete? Stress has many sources for athletes. Some stress comes from the challenges in sport itself, and other stressors come from your personal life. Common stressors for athletes include:-Personal relationships-Injuries-Interruption of training regimen-Bulling-Playing in adverse conditions-Feeling expectations from others-Perfectionism-Critical game situations-Opponents and team dynamics-Lack of playing time Psychological stressors hurt your game in several ways, such as:-Slow down recovery from training and competing-Deplete energy sources more quickly-Inhibit fluidity of movement-Build tension within muscles-Hamper your ability to focus in a competition-Create excessive worry-Slow reaction times-Interfere with decision-making-Increase the chance of acute and overuse injuries If you do not have a plan to manage stressors, your physical and mental well-being will be at risk, as well as top-level performance. Holly Edmondston, a New Zealand cyclist and 2020 Olympian, has worked through a lot of stress to achieve her Olympic dream. The 24-year-old Edmondston’s Olympic journey has been challenging. Edmondston overcame a bad back injury in 2017, surgery in 2019, and the postponement of the 2020 Olympics due to the worldwide pandemic. EDMONDSTON: “Stress is normal in sport. I was quite stressed because of my injuries. But now, I have managed to turn them around. Mental health was quite low, and now I’m doing a lot better. Some people might not consider stress as an injury, but 90 percent of the sport is mental.” How was Edmondston able to deal with all the stress she was facing to make New Zealand’s 2020 Olympic team? Edmondston and the New Zealand Olympic team sought the help of mental training professionals to learn how to navigate the increased pressure and stress of being Olympic athletes. Edmondston: “We do group mental training and psychology sessions. It is important because being mentally strong is what gets you across the finish line.” They learn stress management strategies. When you were born, you were not readily equipped with strategies to deal with the stressors of being an athlete. In fact, most stressors you learned to cope with as you progressed through life. When you develop an array of stress management and relaxation strategies, you have more tools at your disposal and are better equipped to handle the various stressors that come your way throughout your athletic career. Dealing with the Stress of Being an Athlete Knowing your sources of stress is a starting step to coping with it later. What are three top stressors or triggers? What signs precede these stressors? Awareness of your mental push buttons is a good starting place. Anticipate the stressors you might encounter in your sport. Think about how you might cope with each stressors. Have a plan. For example, how will you cope with an injury that sidelines you for one to two weeks? This is where are trained mental game coach can help you--manage the stress you might encounter as a natural part of playing sports.Mental Training for a Competitive Edge888-742-7225 | 407-909-1700 (local)www.peaksports.com ...
