A couple of weeks ago, I was in golfsmith and demoed i10s and AP1s. The AP1 demo club was the club that they assemble. When the guy handed me the club, I noticed that head moved around alot. I made a few swings, but that loose head really had me torn up. When I questioned the guy about it. He said that is the way it is. Now, I am basing my new iron purchase on that experience. I did really like the i10s, but I cannot believe that the AP1 was set up correctly. Have any of you guys ran into this? Do any of you know what he might have done wrong?

Thanks,
John

The head never came flying off, but it had enough movement that you could hear and feel it!

No I think he assembled it wrong. I have used the fitting system and it should be tightened and feel like a normal club

Hybrid: 19° 909 H Voodoo
Irons: 4-PW AP2 Project X 5.5

Putter: Odyssey XG #7

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x


It was most definitely assembled wrong. We have that same Titleist Fitting cart and when it's put together correctly it's just like an actual club.

I'd say go back, and have someone else put one together for you.

    • Fair enough, I'll try getting out of the right side of bed tomorrow! Agreed. One of the saddest things about LIV is robbing us of what could have been 15 years of Mickelson in the booth. 
    • Update: we are officially booked for our Sunday round (6/22) at Cranberry Highlands golf course: Course Tour | Cranberry Township - Official Website Visit our gorgeous course and read descriptions about each hole. 11:10am | 11:20am | 11:30am | 11;40am  tee times. Still working on the Saturday course.
    • what clubs do you like using 10 to 20 yards from?
    • Another good episode. It sounds pretty obvious that social media style golf tips/instruction is not a good way to learn golf. Too many opinions, nothing specific to the golfer, it's basically playing Russian Roulette.  I for one, like to watch online golf instruction. I have found a few I think are pretty good, but I find it interesting. It just takes some front-end mental processing to push it off to the side away from what I am doing.   I think the positives are to this is exposure. It keeps people interested in golf. It is free. It helps golf instructors who have to fix bad habits, 😉.  I rather see the game grow, and social media is not going anywhere anytime soon.  Honestly, some of the online stuff seems a bit better than some of the local instruction around my area. I have been a few stalls away from a golf instructor and you just have to shake your head at how bad it can get. 
    • I used a metronome to determine my ideal putting tempo. I’ve read most people fall between 66 and 80 bpm. That range felt extremely slow to me. The bpm that felt most natural was 100.  Is that too fast? I definitely side more on a shorter, quicker stroke but being that far outside the average feels a little concerning.
