I've been experimenting with this club for quite a while. I first bought this club with a regular flex shaft, but found it to hook on more aggressive swings. I switched to the NV stiff shaft and I can now control the ball flight much better. It's usually straight or with a slight fade which I prefer. I use the 17 degree instead of a fairway wood and find it to be much more consistent and versatile. I've found that a smooth swing works best with this club and the feel is really great when hit solid. My son plays a 17 and 21 degree with the VS Proto stiff flex shaft. He is like a magician with these clubs. He even took his 3 wood out of his bag because the 17 degree gets about the same distance because of its lower, penetrating flight. These clubs look and feel great and are easy to hit as long as you don't try to kill the ball with them. I swing my 17 like it is a 5 iron and it really flies!!! About the same distance as a 4 wood. You certainly don't have to be a pro to play this club.

I replaced my 3 iron with a 21 degree with an NV Stiff shaft. The club was easy to hit out of the rough and consisten off the tee on short par 4s. I recently added the 17 degree instead of my 5 wood. These are great clubs which allow a much easier ability to work the ball than some of the other hybrids I've tried.

I'm not a good golfer. But I'm good enough to avoid slices. Titleist woods seem geared to better players. I tried the 585H for the heck of replacing my 4 iron. Do not carry a 3 iron. Provided you put a smooth tempo swing on the club, the ball goes nicely. I initally found hooks, then opened the face slightly and straighten it out with this club. I have the Aldila 85-R shaft. Since moving to Titleist woods, have now a D1 Driver and 904f 7wood in the bag. Game is improving because I can now shape the shot off the Tee and fairway. Pleased with Titleist.

I bought the 21 degree to replace the 3 iron in my 735cm set. I bought the stiff shaft YS Graphite Design. Everything I hit is a hook. The only thing that alleviates the problem somewhat is if I grip the club a little open at address. I don't think my swing is faulty, because I can immediately pick up my 3 iron and hit is straight. I just exchanged my club for one with a green Aldila NV stiff shaft and I am hoping it will help.

I have tried numerous hybrids, including these with the Aldila NV shaft and either didn't by them, or promptly dumped them. Simply I could not get the consistency I was getting out of my 2 iron and 3 iron. Seemed like distance control was not good, and with a 21* I was ballooning my shots. Finally Titleist came out with this club using the V2 Hybrid shaft, and I tried a friends on the range. Because it is a much more tip stiff shaft, it seemed to bring the flight down nicely. It did take me a while but I finally gave in and bought a 17* and a 21* to replace my 2 iron and the 5 wood I swapped in and out with it, as well as my 3 iron. I do like that the Titleist is not offset and plays square up. As someone else said, if you are looking for a hybrid for nothing more than forgiveness, you might want to look at some other brands, as this one is certainly not as forgiving as many of them are. I can however work the ball fairly well with this.

Chose the 17* because it actually gives me a 1 iron distance, and chokeing down an inch gives me a 2 iron. The 21* replaces the 3 iron nicely.

Recommend this if you can play a little, but again I would suggest you hit them first, as while this certainly is more forgiving than hitting a 2 or 3 iron, there are other hybrids with quite a bit more forgiveness.

The first thing I have to say is I waited too long to get this club. I previously played the 503h.Low ball flight and not easy to fade due to offset. The 904f 5 wood was easy to work but gave me very high ball flight. Not good on windy days. If you have tried hybrids before and have gone back to a 2 iron or 5 wood due to the draw bias in most hybrids, give this one a try. The S300 shaft gives the most control for me and I can hit it high or low. Good job Titleist on a great club.

I recently picked up the 585H with the stock 4175 shaft in regular flex and have to say that I really like this club! The first time I saw these clubs at the local golf shop I was immediately impressed with the look and aethetics of the club...after reading up on the specifications and various reviews in certain golf publications I decided to give one a try!

Like some of the others who have posted their comments on this site this club is not easy to hit right off the bat...It takes a bit of getting used to and I can see why they deem it more of a player's club..

After spending some time on the range with it though I began to find that when hit properly the balls flies of the face of the club and the feeling is absolute butter! This club is great in the fairway and also a nice alternative to driver in case you're going though a spell with yours...

Hybrids have become more popular over the past couple of years and I can see why and Titleist has a real winner in the 585H...

The weight of the clubhead feels solid and the stcik shaft is pretty solid!

So if you're looking for a hybrid with great looks, feel and workability you can't go wrong with this club!

It's slowly becoming one of the favorite clubs in my bag!

I agree with the other reviews that this is by no means the most forgiving hybrid on the market, but for me, it's pretty easy to hit, and I hit it loooooong.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this club. If you put a good swing on the ball, the result is fantastic. Much nicer to have in the back than a 2 iron for sure.

I highly recommend it for anybody with about a 12 handicap or less.

I used to play the taylor made rescue but constantly fought a hook with it because of the offset. I pretty much gave up on hybrids and switched to a 5 wood because nearly all the hybrids out there have offset. The titleist has no offset. The selling point on this club is versatility and workability as opposed to forgiveness, draw bias and higher trajectory which you can get from any of the other hybrids. The clubhead is more compact than most so while it may not be as forgiving it is usuable from a greater variety of lies. A good choice if you're comfortable with long irons and want a high powered 1 or 2 iron but probably not the best choice if you're seeking a hybrid because you struggle with long irons. Better to go with one of the game improvement designs.

I first got this club after i broke my nike cpr 22 degree because the shaft was too weak. This was last september when 585 came out, at first was skeptical because I wanted somthing forgiving like my cpr, but I figured I was good enough to buy the 585. I got a 19 degree with the adila hybrid shaft. I played with the club the next week at a few golf meets, and sucked with it. Now after hiting many balls with the club this sping this club is truely amazing. The club is not as forgiving as other hybrids but the workability is there. Personally there is only one bad thing with this club, and that is that there isnt an alignment aid on the club. Overall I would give this club an 8.5 out of 10.
