AP2

Summary:
I have been playing the ap2 for two years now. I special ordered with my specs and NS shafts. However, it is important to note that these are not blades. They are not even close to the feel of a true forged blade. If you are a long term committed forged blade player you should really consider why you want to go to the ap2. I have found them to be longer and considerably more forgiving than say a forged 670 blade. But the trade off is the feel and accuracy of a well struck shot. So far I guess I am willing to continue making that trade off. But I sometimes do miss the feel of a forged blade. I don't miss the inconsistent scoring though.

Customer Service:
Golfsmith custom order was perfect.

Titleist AP2 710

Summary:
Most of the really good players at my private club play the AP2. Titleist is one of the brands our pro really pushes because he wants us to all play better. You can tell with these irons that they are made with more exactness. Actually, I think I may play better with the Callaway Razr's but the AP2s look way better in the bag.

I may get the Titleist 710 forged blades just to up the ante a little more. Give myself something to think about when I'm lining up a 180 yard shot with a little wind to the left.

My wife bought me the AP2s but I wish she would have done what I told her to do and ordered the CBs or the blades. She never does anything right.

Well, I'm going out to the course now. I like just going out there by myself because I always shoot great scores. I play 3 balls at a time.

Customer Service:
Those guys are great.

titleist ap2

Summary:
When it comes to my irons I look for something that looks nice at address but more importantly is able to work the ball left to right and vis versa. The impact of these clubs are crisp and the turf interaction is better than my previous clubs (mizuno mp 62) which just didn't offer the forgiveness I have been looking for as I have been looking to take my current hobby to a job! The set I have been custom fitted for are ap2's from 3 to 6 iron, and cb from 7 to pitching wedge. At first I was worried about the transaction but they perform brilliantly together with the look at address very similar. Overall I would highly recommend these clubs to anyone from a scratch to 13 handicap, and blend if you feel like you need to! Combo irons are the way forward!

AP2

Summary:
I have to go with Famous Davis on these. Ballflight is too high, more about looking cool than scoring. Titleist advertises them for the skilled to highly skilled player. Well if your skilled you don't need a club that launches so high. Not near the feel of my 695cb's. If your going to play a forged iron play a "true" forged iron like the 690, 695, ZM, ZB, or the new CB or MB. Your supposed to hit irons in the center of the face anyway, so who needs forgiveness? If you hit it solid you won't like these unless your ballflight is too low. Workability is not even close to a true forged iron. Case and point. I hooked my drive behind a tree at my home club. 160 out into a 25mph wind, had to go over a tree 20 yards in front of me and fade it 30 yards to an island green off a downhill lie in the rough. Hit both 6 irons. The 695 cb? 8ft for bird (made the putt too ;) The AP2? Over the tree but no fade with open club face in the water left. Famous Davis was right on about these. KOOLAID. Man up and play a "real" forged iron, and listen to Famous Davis when he tells you hacks about clubs, any "good" ballstriker wouldn't have these in the bag.

Customer Service:
Good

Or...you hit a good swing with the 695 cb and not so good with the AP2?...just a thought

"Ballflight is too high" Ok you do relaize that that is a problem with the shaft and not the club right? You obviously just played a demo set and not a fitted set. Any "GOOD" ballstriker would know that the launch angle is due to shaft and not club though.

Titleist AP2 710

Summary:
I purchased a set of AP2s with ALDILA VS PROTO-T 75 graphite shafts a month ago. I used a Titleist fitter and spent a couple of mornings hitting shots - highly recommended. I also wanted to be sure that the high, straight shots were not the result of good swings on one particular day. The feel and consistency of these clubs was superior to any of the other clubs that I evaluated: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro; Callaway RAZR X Tour and Diablo Forged; and Nike Victory Red Combo. I particularly like the feel of the clubs, with the weight more toward the head. There is reasonable forgiveness on shots struck on the heel or toe, but you do lose some distance. But the feel of well-struck shots is what makes these clubs special.

I have now had a chance to play about 12 rounds with the clubs, and they continue to impress with their playability and consistency. I have dropped about 5 shots since playing these clubs and truly feel that I can accomplish my goal of dropping my handicap below 10. Impressive clubs even for an "ex"-13 handicap.

Customer Service:
The clubs were delivered in 5 days with special ordered Lamkin REL 3GEN grips.
