Titleist AP2s Are Where You Will Find The Ability To Play Them


TItleist this year, went about trying to tweak the AP2 series a good bit.

The Titleist AP2 710 Irons have a multi-material construction—a steel body, tungsten nickel sole, elastomer bar and aluminum cavity plate. With their classic blade looks, improved feel and playability for excellent shot control, these multi material, dual cavity forged irons use the latest in ground-breaking technology to give golfers the advanced performance, increased distance and exceptional feel that they are crying out for. By listening to feedback from the Tour and using the latest cutting edge design and technology, they have come up with the new and improved versions, the AP1 710 Irons & Titleist AP2 710 Irons. The titleist ap2 710 has an unwarranted limit of playability as well. The size of the blade is compact, and seems slightly larger in the 3 & 4 iron, although I have read nothing to indicate this is the case. With the clubhead and topline being small and thin, the ability to get creative and play shots you can dream about becomes a reality. If you enjoy playing high fades, baby cuts, Bubba shots, and such, the AP2 are where you will find the ability to play them.

Titleist 712 AP2 Irons are designed for low handicappers. Titleist has significantly increased the club’s MOI by re-positioning tungsten weight within the clubheads. AP2 irons are technically advanced blades that provide increased forgiveness without sacrificing shot workability while combining traditional blade length and sole width with a more efficient multi-material weight distribution. The AP2′s have roughly the same. According to the specs, the 7 iron has the same offset as the 710 AP2, and 01 mm MORE than the MB’s. The titleist 712 ap2 Irons are more forgiving and more distance control. It gives the AP2 player more consistent ball speed over a larger area of the face. This year’s version is now a two-piece tungsten (not tungsten/nickel) weight, which accounts for more of the head’s mass (20% on average). Based on player feedback and grind work done on tour, the AP2’s offer narrower sole profiles in scoring clubs to increase playability and improved turf interaction.

I am a HORRIBLE hybrid player. I am a digger by nature, and rely heavily on proper turf interaction with all of the clubs in my bag except the driver. I like the fact that because the titleist 910h hybrid allows weight adjustment, the fitter or PGA Professional can control the weight of the head, therefore they can control what length the club plays for their students. There are few golfers willing to pay this much for one golf club, let alone a hybrid golf club. Titleist is getting into the price of a driver, which is probably used more than the hybrid clubs. Fairway wood users will feel immediately comfortable. Those who prefer smaller hybrids may need some time to adjust. I personally found the size and the shape to be very appealing. Titleist offers over 25 different hybrid shafts which is AWESOME! Considering shaft variables such as weight, spin, launch, and flex, it is nice to see one company give us options. Most companies offer very few shafts in the hybrid category.

Enjoy your golf game!  You can check this titleist at the golfsmith, too.
