Alright I currently have some Fat shaft II distance irons and a Callaway steelhead 3 driver. I want to upgrade as they are getting old and the technology is a bit out of date. My main question is when do most new iron sets and drivers come out. I would like to get my stuff at the beginning of a product cycle instead of new ones coming out right after I drop 1500 dollars. Any help appreciated also what would you upgrade first.

The AP irons and the 909 drivers are fairly new in the market. You should be getting them now.

I think you can answer that question by looking at Titleist's product cycle. I can't say more than to point out that they typically replace products every 18-24 months. The 909s came out last fall, and the irons last spring.

I just plunked down $2000 for the Titleist 909D3 driver, 909F2 fairway, 909H Hybrid, and of course the AP2 Irons.

This set should last me a few years!

Btw, awesome clubs, I'm very happy with them. Been playing Titleist clubs for over 10 years.

I don't see the point in getting new stuff constantly. If something is outdated and/or doesn't feel right to you, then I totally see the point. But I will never go buy something I don't need just because it is new on the market. Heck, I have an 07 Burner that I love and I'm gonna use the thing till' the very damn end. I can't see it getting any better than that for me. However, my irons and putter are outdated knockoffs that were my grandpa's, and don't feel right to me at all, so I do need to upgrade there. But I'm gonna get fitted so I don't end up buying more and more in search of a good fit. But, to each their own, I guess if I had the money to spend I would look at this differently, but I love what I've got so far.

Yup, once you've got the good stuff, why change it? If I average 3 yards more with something, it's not nessecarily better, just gets it 9 feet farther on average. So, why throw away another few hundred dollars for 9 feet? You're gonna be hitting the same 2nd shot anyway.

Titleist is releasing new irons this fall. They are making some slight changes to the current AP2 and re-releasing them. So if you are going to upgrade, I would buy a 909 driver now and wait for the irons to the fall

IF you must have the newest stuff on the market. If you like the current AP2's you can just get them now since the price has dropped a bit since they came out or wait until the new models come out and the price drops a lot more.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
