FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Sept. 16, 2004) - Titleist introduces the new 503.H Utility Iron, a versatile utility club designed to provide a distance and trajectory solution at the long end of the set.

Available in lofts of 19 and 22 degrees, the Titleist 503.H provides a more manageable trajectory versus a high lofted fairway metal and a more playable trajectory versus a long iron.

"Serious golfers are more aware than ever of the importance of their overall set composition, especially in the long game," commented Chris McGinley, Vice President Golf Club Marketing, Titleist.

"The Titleist 503.H Utility Iron is designed to be a long game yardage and trajectory solution, offering players an alternative to high lofted fairways or conventional long irons."

Like all high performance Titleist branded equipment, the 503.H Utility Iron has been thoroughly Tour-tested and validated prior to being introduced to the marketplace.

Over 50 different players have carried the Titleist 503.H in PGA Tour competition including BellSouth Classic champion Zach Johnson, as well as Brad Faxon, Ben Curtis, Mark O'Meara, Robert Gamez, Brian Bateman and Aaron Barber among others.

The new Titleist 503.H Utility Iron is available in both right and left hand and will commence shipping to golf shops in October with a suggested retail price of $185 per club/steel and $225 per club/graphite.
