Update: I have been playing these clubs for a couple months now and LOVE them! You will be happy if you buy these clubs!

Well like you i played the MX23 went to the AP1's hated them and now I am back with Mizuno MP 52, great feeling club!!!!

I was playing the Raptures and wanted to get away from the very large head and the forced offset of these clubs. I tried the i10's but found I didn't get any feel from them. I considered the G10's but their heads were large also. So, I have opted for the AP1's and should receive them today. I can't wait as I liked the feel of them at the store. I am a 18 handicap and think this will work well for me!

I have been playing the Taylor Made Tour Preferred Irons for about a year (which I got on the cheap from a friend), but with my lack of playing and practice now, I find them really hard to hit solidly! I am not interested in getting down to scratch, but would like some irons that I can go out and play with once or twice a month. I am not looking to work the ball, just some irons that are forgiving and easy to hit without being full, "clumpy" cavity backs.

I have been looking through the reviews of these Titleist AP1s and I am very interested in them! Any advice on these versus the competition or the AP1 vs the AP2? My concern is that the AP2 will be similar to the TM Tour Preferred that I'm playing now and don't like....thanks!

I as well am debating on the AP1's. I am currently hitting the MX-23's that I bought about 4 years ago. I am sitting at 22, but primarily because of my poor short game. Was a 14 years ago before kids and a real job. If someone said chip this ball from 50 yds. in to the green or die, I would probably die. Nonetheless, in today's world of technology, my MX-23's feel like anvils, compared to the AP1's with the lite project X shaft. Even compared to the G10's or the i10's the 23's are very heavy. Anyone a Mizuno owner that has gone to or considered going to the AP1's or the i10's? (couldn't get over the chunky feel and look of the G10's) Thoughts on how these compare? Are they enough "game improvement" for a hacker like me?

Steve,

I am a similar HCP and am considering the Ping-i10's. Why would you switch to the AP1? I am playing Hogan Apex Pro. They are great when I hit well, but I tend to dig with them and have a hard time controlling the direction. I need more consistent dispersion and a rounded leading edge.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Steve: I am a 10 HCP and play the Hogan Apex Pro's. They have been reshafted with the Nippon 950 stiff (don't even think about regular) shafts. My Hogan 52 and 56 degree wedges were reshafted with the new Nippon wedge shaft. At age 63, the lighter shafts are sweet. I tried the AP1 club, Calloway X-20 Tours, and in fact played a few rounds with both, and both were good, solid hitting clubs. They were not as solid as the reshafted Apex Pro's. Distance was about the same, but the Pro's seem to hit through all types of turf more consistently. The Pro's are easier to hit with the blade a little open or closed. It's a tough club to give up.
