after going from mizuno mp 52s to 58, 67 then the past 2 yrs hitting mp 67 blades.

Anyway, I hit ALOT of irons. Im seasoned enough to know that dont mean a damn thing hitting a ball into a plastic wall and watching an animation. The real test is CAN you hit that shot 175 yds out on a hot fairway with 3 strangers waiting on you.

I settled on the AP2s with the KBS tour shaft and i couldnt be happier. I got fitted and Im 2 degrees upright and dialed in. I shot an 81(3 birdies but i need to learn to putt) without getting fit and realized I needed to have them bent a little a few holes into it.

They are not as soft as Mizuno irons and they click louder but I like that. I have never hit a more forgiving players iron. Even when I played Ping G10 cavity back game improvement clubs.

The most impressive thing about the irons was the way i can pitch and chip with them. I almost had a chip in eagle on a par 5 after I had just nailed a 210 yd 4 iron 10 yds off the green. REALLY solid professional feel. I can see why so many tour players have these irons.  Alot of people overlook them because they are classic/plain looking and really not the easiest to hit but man they are serious gamers.

I knew I had made the right decision with these irons when I was faced with a 130 yd nine iron shot over a tree. Before when I would have to get a ball up quickly with my blades, I would always worrry about where the ball would end up after going over the tree. Open or close a blade a 1/4" and you have a big draw or slice. I was able to hit this 9 iron pure to the green. It felt great. The Lamkin grips and sensicore helped stablilize alot of the swings.

Looking forward to my next tournament in a couple weeks.

sorry for the rambling. at the beach bored(for the moment).

Have a great memorial day weekend!

Yeah I agree, they are awesome clubs. Just sucks they are so expensive!! I went and hit the AP2, MP59 and Rocketbladez tour this week and just couldn't justify the $500 more for the AP2 so it was the Rocketbladez. Really easy to hit and quite forgiving. I reckon they were very close in feel to the MP59's although most people say the are at the harsher end for Mizuno.

I love my AP-2 irons too.  I've had them for 3 years now.  I also agree with the short game aspect.  I originally bought them only down to the PW, but then ordered the 51° GW because I liked the short game feel of the PW so much.

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
