Titleist 503 H

Summary:
A good replacement for a 3 iron, not a good replacement for a 7 wood. Good off the tee on tight long par threes or short tight par fours. A little tough to get high up in the air off the fairway unless the ball is sitting up well. This club was designed more for accuracy than for rescue out of the rough and performs accordingly. I have a 22* and like it very much. Can be had dirt cheap on Ebay for around $30.

Compares to and reminds me of an old Mizuno TZoid Fli Hi I had years ago.

Titleist 503H

Summary:
Besically I like the look of the hybrid that are similar to my irons (some people prefer they looked like woods).
And the second factor is the feel when hitting the ball, Titleist 503H (22 degree) gives me a very solid & soft feel (like a forged iron).
The ball flight is just great in penetrating into the wind.
I have been playing an old Mizuno blade set for quite some time. And I have never think of pulling the 3-iron whenever my ball land in the rough (semi) area. This hybrid just did a great job every time my ball find the rough. I managed to draw the ball from the rough approx. 200 - 220 yards.
For those who can't hit this club, I would suggest you either hit this club like what you hit with the irons (indeed it is a long iron with "extra" cavity), or else, look for a lesson with the qualified pga pro.

Summary:
Tough to hit just right.
Plays like what they are:
19* = 2/3 iron, 22* = 3/4 iron.
If you can't hit your long irons, stay away from these.
No forgiveness, stock stiff shaft reduces distance.
Might be OK for the low handicapper with fast club speed.
Easy to find at low prices.
Top notch Titleist quality.

Titleist 503-H, 19 Degrees

Summary:
I purchased the 503-H because I was looking for something to replace my 3 iron, which I wasn't overly confident with at the time. However, what I got was a club that was even harder to hit that my 3 iron, and inspired even less confidence. I couldn't believe how difficult this club was to hit. If I caught it even slightly on the toe, the ball would hook hard to the left, and if I caught it even slightly on the heel, it was a hard slice to the left. I felt a lot of vibration on off center hits as well. The club does do a nice job of keeping the ball low though.

If you're looking at purchasing this club, you must have complete confidence in this swing, as this club will punish you otherwise. I hope this review helps.

503H 22*

Summary:
First time hitting the club with full swings after re-shaft/re-grip job. Excellent trajectory and distance. I found it much easier to hit than described on various web sites. Avery workable club, can play cut or draw without a whole lot of effort. Definitely harder to pure than the more fairway wood-like clubs, but I love the look of the club when standing over it. Good height and soft landings. Great club!
