I have been a big fan of Taylor Made but due to recent unfriendly customer service by Taylor made Malaysia, I have switched all my clubs to Titleist. Taylor Made gave all sort of crabs foe their manufacturing fault and point fingers to consumer for some stupid reason.
Try Titleist ZMs, you guys will like it. It is just like having a remote control in hand and you can do how you want it to do. Playing straight balls or even draw. These irons is really awesome !!!

the mp 57s are terrable and you should get the ap2s. the ap2s give beter hight in the longer irons and the 9 iron and p wedge spin like the new vokey 60m.

i have tried the mp57s and they are pure crap. the best thing for you to do is forget completly about the mp57s because they made my handicap worse.

Erik, couldn't agree more. Your comments on the AP1 are on target. I have been a Mizuno MP60 player for a couple of years now and before that Wilson Staff FG17s, MP32, Hogan Apex and Red Line and CB 690s. I wanted to try the something (I hoped) more forgiving but ones not wild in appearance. The AP1s looked good and based on demos and various reviews, I purchased a set. I was able to get to a 7 hc at my club but have a tough time recently, staying there (grandkids and travel have taken their toll) so now I am an honest 12 and having purchased the AP1s I am heading in the right direction. I have been a forged (blade) player most of my life and my worries about transitioning to the AP1s were unfounded. At my age, I enjoy the 'help' of the AP1s and they do not look unattractive at setup to me at all. Good article...thanks!

I have had the 755's since last year and have lowered my handicap to a four. I am an incredible ball striker, but sometimes miss the ball off the top of the club causing lost distance. My friend just got the AP2's with the rifle project x 5.5 shafts. The combination of the shaft and the forgiving clubhead of the AP2's is unbelievable. You literally cant miss with these clubs. Its like cheating Also they look nice as hell at address. I am getting them in the next few weeks. If you do get the AP2's I highly recommend u get fitted. Also the project x shafts blow any other shaft out of the water. They are nice to look at and very lite. These clubs will help you gain some confidence and you will be able to go at the ball with confidence. Even on off- center hits they go very straight. Go give them a try.

Had a go with the AP2's today at my local club really liked them sturck the ball clean. They are way out of my budget. My knowledge on irons isnt great so are there any old Titleist models that are very similar and much cheaper in price. Sturggling a bit with my 990 dci's at the moment.

I currently play a very old set of Mizuno T-Zoid Pro 2. They are getting pretty worn so I decided that I would look into a new set. My top choices were the new ZB and MP-57. There was a demo day in my area last weekend so I went to try some out. The MP-57's were great and played like my old set. Same with the ZB's. I was a little skeptical about the AP2 but they were there and I gave them a try. They hit just like the other two. The big difference was that any off center hit went almost as straight and far as the others. The ZB was a great club but not very forgiving if you don't hit it on the screws. I play around a 6 but I don't get out as much as I would like to, so there are a few mis-hits around the course. The Titleist rep kept alternating me between the two and on the center hits you could throw a towel over the results. There is not much difference between the two, except for the off-center hits. The AP2 was much better than the ZB on those. I could hit hit the AP2 low and high, draw and fade, all of the shots are there. Don't be fooled by the looks, these clubs hit great.

Just got my Titleist ZMs in on Saturday and shot my lowest round on Sunday. These are awesome clubs; they do what you want them to do. In my view, they are a touch more forgiving than the 695MBs. I love the thin top line and minimal offset; they also seem a little lighter than the 695MBs. I think Titleist hit the nail on the head with these and they will stay in my bag for a long time.
