For those yet to make a decision on the AP1s/AP2, I recently bought AP1s after months of comparisons and procrastinating. My final options were Titleist AP1 vs Mizuno MP-57 vs Wilson Ci7 (believe it or not - the excellent reviews had me curious). The club I liked the look of least was the AP1s. At address they are not (um - WERE not) my cup of tea: thick top line and a bit chunky. The mizunos look awesome and were on a par with the Ci7s, which are also a good looking club. The Wilsons were quickly ruled out during the direct comparison on the range. They are not in the same league when it comes to feel and performance off the face. (I was a bit disappointed, as I thought for a while there that I was going to save myself a few hunded $$).
While I loved the feel of the Mizunos when I hit the ball perfectly, I simply do not have the consistency of stoke play to make the most of these clubs. The AP1s gave me the best all-round performance: longest distance & best feel at the end of the day.
Having now played my first round with the newly fitted clubs, I have no regrets. They are simply awesome and I'm quickly coming to terms with how they look. Having graphite shafts on the longer clubs is also worth a thought. The ball leaps off the club and gives me greater distance than I have ever had before. I have the Project X 6.0 on 7-W (all +1" and 4* upright). All in all, the AP1s should certainly be on every mid-handicapper's short-list for the next purchase. Good luck!

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
