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!

    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
