Hit the new AP2s today . . .

Titleist rep (great guy) was visiting our pro today and I was fortunate enough to get to borrow the 2 AP2 irons he had in his bag of new clubs. My reaction to hitting several shots on the range with mine and the new model is very positive. For some reason, the topline seems narrower at address to me, but I can't explain it. Like the look. Hit them with an S300 and really liked the feel, in addition to the look, and the distance was great. Also hit the CBs (why not) and when hit well, they felt good.

Having seen the ads and read a little about the new AP2s here and elsewhere I was skeptical there would be any noticeable difference compared with mine, but there was a difference. Can't say come Spring I'll be abandoning my current irons, or that I should, but if I was buying now I wouldn't have any hesitation.

Thats cool did the rep say when the Cavity backs would be released? How did the cavity backs feel when struck well? Were they workable?

Sorry, I didn't ask about the CBs release date and I'm not good enough at working the ball to give you the insight you are looking for on that. I just happened to be on the range working on my short irons with my little driveway markers (hitting straight to some posts in the distance), so just continued on with that with the new Titleists for a few minutes.

Scary thing was, the first 2 CBs I hit were the "P" and, no kidding, they both landed at the base of the post I was hitting to (perfect "P" distance this morning with a little helping wind). They were the two best looking shots I hit with any of the irons. Of course, this emboldened me to pick up the 6 iron and promptly overswung and was reminded by the feel of the mishit why I probably shouldn't play them on a regular basis.

I wrongly assumed the CBs would be tougher to hit, they really weren't.

Just happened to be in the right place at the right time today, but it was fun to look at the clubs and hit a few.
