Titleist Ap2 Irons

Hi there Mandy, good to see you, thanks for asking the nineteenth hole. I would check eBay definitely. I would also look at your local golf shops. Most have a bag that has single odd priced irons that have been found or handed in. If you find it there, odds are you would get it for next to nothing!

You are a good father. There are some info about Titleist AP2 Iron Set. Hope it useful for you The AP2′s high-tech, multi-material construction features a steel body, tungsten nickel sole, elastomer bar and aluminum cavity plate. AP2 is built to deliver both performance and feel. The dual cavity design of the Titleist AP2 irons pushes weight to the perimeter for forgiveness. A central cross member featuring a soft elastomer cushion provides structural rigidity behind the impact area while also dampening face vibration for better overall feel. The lower cavity of the Titleist AP2 iron is enclosed by a tungsten nickel box. This high-density material locates the weight low and deep while providing structural rigidity and low frequency vibration dampening for outstanding solid feel. The tungsten nickel box helps reduce the sole and back flange width for better turf performance and shot control.

Titleist AP2 irons provide a comfortable and confidence-inspiring appearance in the set up position with a traditional blade profile and hosel junction. The metallic back cavity plate contributes to the AP2′s great looks and bag appeal.

Features:

Multi-material, dual cavity, technically forged

Advanced performance with a traditional solid feel and looks provide shot control for the skilled player handicap 5-9

Definitely the 5.5. I have them in the 5.5 and they are butter. The 5.5 plays just like a DG S300 in terms of stiffness. I hit my 8 155yds and my 7 167yds, so I think you are pretty close to me in yardages. I tried the 6.0, and way too harsh, no feel (And I have a quick tempo as well)

My only question, is why do you hit your 8 only 140yds, and your 7 160yds? An average gap is a 10-12 yd gap b/w those irons…

Titleist irons are very good, if funds permit and you can justify the new purchase, then go for the Titleist AP2 irons. Ask yourself if the clubs will give an increased benefit for your game, will the cost translate into better scores.

Ap2 are a more forgiving iron than the cb’s but no question the cb’s are beautiful, small, compact, and more classic lines. I am more of a titleist iron guy, but if you’re looking for other options, you might also consider forged mizuno irons, they feel excellent.

Be carefull about looking for the cheapest set. There is very little margin for golf clubs, so if you see a set for $500 cheaper than majority of the brick and mortar stores, be aware you could be getting a stolen, abused or fake set. In Canada the avg retail price is around $1000 CAN.

Good choice on the irons if you do buy them. They have a nice soft feel when you hit them.

Mp 58 will not be any more forgiving than your 32s. Really none of these are going to be light years easier to hit. Not $900 worth anyway. If you are a 1 handicap then its not that you need more forgiveness in your irons, since your misses tend to be from the clubface open or closed at impact, rather than missing all over the face. Something like Ping i10, Callaway x-22 tour, something along those lines will be more difficult to work, but easier to hit straight than your current irons. If it is definitely going to be one of the 3 models you mentioned, then get the AP2s. No point in ever buying TM clubs at retail, you know they will be 30% off in less than a year and replaced soon after

I have hit both and I find some slight differences between the muscle back and the cavity back, but they are both excellent irons. First off, the cavity back on the ap2 makes it slightly more forgiving than the mb 710. I also noticed that the ball flight on the ap2 irons were slightly higher than the 710s, but not by much. Also, if you have a tendency to dig into the ball a little more at impact I would recommend the AP2s because the shot comes off a little more fat with the muscle back 710s. As a 5 handicap, when comparing both irons on the range and the course, I noticed that the ap2s went a little farther, maybe 5 yards more, than the 710′s on decent shots, but when I flushed the ball the 710′s would go farther. If you have never hit a muscle back iron before, I would highly recommend doing so on a driving range, just to see if you like the muscle back feel because it varies between players. If you can’t decide and you equally like them both, I do know that the 710′s are $100 cheaper than the AP2s. Hope this helps.

The Primary difference is that the AP1′s are cast and the Titleist AP2 irons are forged. Both are generally for more skilled lower handicap players according to Titleist.
