I agree on the 20 posts, 20 answers. Most of the clubs abilities lay in the hands of the user. The best solution is take lessons. I use Founders Clubs with good results.

yea I know but for some reason I loved the look at address of these ap2 irons and feel of hitting down on the ball with them. I tried the ap1's as well and still felt like I was hitting the ap2's better so why not get the ones I liked better plus they are forged. I mean they just screamed precision when you hit them.

i love my ap2s but like others said it's about what clubs u like best

Go with the clubs that suit your eye / tastes.

I tried AP1, AP2, ZB, G15 and i15 before finally settling on the i15s. Would have loved the ZBs, but they were ex-demo with S300 shafts, which does not suit my tempo or lack of power (still loved 'em though).

If you can strike the AP2s well and you like them, there's little point in deviating from them (unless there are other options you haven't explored yet).

Went to a Titleist fitting day yesterday and loved the AP 2's. Got fitted for them with a Project X 5.5 shaft. Now I just have to decide if they are worth the dough to replace my i10's. Definitely leaning to the AP 2's though.

If you are wondering about the Mizunos then find some and hit them. So much is personal preference. I was at a Callaway demo day last weekend and lots of guys were ranting about the Diablo Forged irons and I hated the feel of them.

awesome. Yea I didnt get fitted though. Are the project x shafts more money? Im also thinking of buying them online because they are cheaper, so should I just go to a golf shop and get custom fitted for the ap2's and then order them?

Yes, the Project X are a bit more, but the pro who fitted me figured they were about an extra $10 per club over the stock Dynamic Gold. As for being fitted, I definitely would. The feel and ball flight characteristics change with the different shafts, and you want to see if you need them more upright or flat. I was fitted standard length 2˚ upright or with an extra half inch length shaft at standard lie. I am 6'1" so the extra length and standard lie will probably be the one I will go for if I buy them.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
