My Titleist Forged AP2 Review

[dmc]

lI finally got mine today. I ordered the 4-pw. As other's have said, they have a very solid feel. I usually hit 7-10 GIR a round and I hit 9 today. It was very easy to hit these straight. I was playing X-18 Callaways and I was never really happy with them. I also got a spin milled sand wedge so I have some adjusting to do with so many new clubs. I still shot 78 on a 72.0/129, which is a good score for me. Hopefully the rain will stop at some time and we will start getting some roll. I'm going to play 36 tommorow so hopefully I'll start getting a feel for these clubs.

I am a fan of pure blades and have played woods brothers for over a year now and have only just started think about a more forgiving iron. I had fanatsised about the AP2s until they arrived in the proshop. One round and I had ordered them before the 18th green. Loved the feel of the Project Xs in there just for consistency and solid feel. I definitely knew when I hit the (generous) middle of the club and look forward to working with them to get the handicap right down now. Any thoughts on a suitable vokey combo to match the bottom end of the 47* wedge?

to complete the set the fitter advised on a 52* and a 57* (58* bent 1*) to keep in with the rest of the set (and keep a 5* difference)

Anyone experiencing AP1s or AP2s getting scratched/banged up easily? Like after just a few rounds?

There are a couple threads on another forum about this.

Thanks.

Well done Erik. Your findings are similiar/identical to mine. I have been playing the AP2's for 2 weeks now and find a tremendous difference. Before these clubs I was hitting the 755's.

The difference in consistency of shots, height of ball flight, feel of shots, looks of club, and workability as far from the 755's.

Technology is getting better and better and it is shown in the AP2's.

could i custom order an AP2 2 iron?

no. As far as I know, they only made one for adam scott.

Ive only played four rounds with mine so far and ive probably hit four large buckets of range balls. My friends have also hit a few balls trying them out. On close inspection you can tell they have been hit and there is some very slight bag chatter but nothing that I would consider out of the ordinary. I mean you realy have to look close to see anything.

Mine don't look bad at all, either. Hit clean golf balls - sand will scratch and wear any golf club. Some ranges are very sandy.

I have hit many clubs in recent weeks trying to decide what irons to buy. My local pro has all-but convinced me to get the AP2s which I was able to hit further than most other clubs I tried. I remain concerned, however, that my game may not be strong enough to do them justice. Am I wasting my money going with the AP2s (which look & feel great but offer me little forgiveness) or should I spend less on G/I10s (which look less appealing but probably suit my game better)? I haven't limited it to just the two - I have still got the CG57s and X20s on my shortlist.
I practice about twice a week and play about once a week. I am working at reducing my handicap down to single figures and want clubs that will go the distance....
Any advice will be most welcome....

I would go with the one that felt the best and recommendation from the fitter. AP2 would seem like a good choice as you are playing weekly (and getting better). If you feel that your handicap is decreasing. All very personal. As mentioned - AP1 is fine for your skill level (mid) and AP2 is for the <10 player.

Another option to consider is the Mizuno MX-25 or MP-57. I am going through the same process - I will be deciding between AP1 and MX-25 this week.

Good luck.
