Summary:
I love these Irons
before i got these i had the 735CM's with a 14HCP
now im an 8HCP and what i like about these ap2 irons compared to the 735cm's:
1.when u miss the ball its that of a hard punishment and it doesnt hert ur fingers..it feels always soft.
2.the stock shafts are much better.\i used on my 735cm's the s300 now i use the project x6.0 that adds hight and distance.
3 theym might look big but when u see them in ur own eyes the heads are small and when u look at the head from hitting position it looks like a blade
4i can say these irons preforme like blades but u cant compare them to the zm/mb
5! \i suggest these irons for anyone that is thinking of getting full blade ...the ap irons will be a good practise for him before he gets the real deal-new MB's
when i mean practise i say 1.5 ys or 2 seasons
when u reach a point that u can fully control ur shots consistently and almost never have a miss on a round of 9
then u r ready to get the full blades
atleast thats what im doing and it works pretty good.

Summary:
I belong to a country club and play 4 days a week. I'm a scratch golfer so if you want a valuable review keep reading. The AP2 is just OK. I would have expected more for the money. They are a little clunky, a little too flashy and the feel of the Titleist ZM is just not there. Mizuno has done the same thing with the MP-30, Mp-60, MP-57, etc. They just don't feel as good as a real blade. In addition, they aren't as accurate either. Believe it or not, the most accurate iron I've ever hit is the Wilson FG-17 and I've had my lowest scores with them. If you pay $899 for a set of AP2 irons then I think you've made an investment in trying to look cool instead of playing well. I haven't met anyone yet who's bought these irons and has improved their iron play. But, alas, let the Koolaid pour.

Summary:
I have been using my new AP2's for 6 months. I switched from Ping i10's. With the i10's my handicap was a solid 2-4 and I shot my best score 68 in match play. With the AP's the best I have done is 70, but my handicap has balloned to 7-8?
Anyway this is the most solid and especially stable club head I have ever hit. Where ever it is lined, that's exactly where it goes, period. Like other reviews I have problems fading it, easier to hit a slight draw, but I prefer straight anyway. Pure hits are rewarded with a buttery soft feel and beautiful ball flight. I find this club fairly forgiving and think anyone up a 15 handicap could hit it easily. My only issue is yardage control. I know exactly how far I hit each club but every once in awhile I get a pure flyer, I mean like 20 yards more than I expected?? Others I have talked to have experienced the same issue. One good player I know (2 handicap) switched back to his TaylorMades for this reason alone. Both of us have Project X shafts, maybe that's the reason, I just don't know. I really love the feel of these irons but I sometimes wonder if I should have stayed with my Ping's just for more predictalbe yardage control.
I also think my 9 iron and wedge specs are off but have not had time to get them checked. A club maker I deal with said Titleist is notorious for bad specs.
Anyway in summary, very beautiful looking iron. A bit over priced, and extremely slow delivery, but overall worth the wait. Titleist or Ping, tough choice, but I think I prefer the feel I get with this forged iron, now if I can only get the yardage under control I will be happy.

Customer Service:
Slow, slow and slower!
Specs not as stated, very dissappointing considering the price.

Summary:
I have been looking at the new Ping I15's when my club pro offered for me to play a round with a set of AP2's. Amazing is all I can say. My first hit with the 3 iron went 220m dead straight. I felt I was in control of the ball and even a miss hit went straight (just not as far). My Ping ISI's are going into the roof storage when I pick up my new AP2's on Saturday.
