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!

    • The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!
    • Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

    • The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
