With the 710 model's i don't think you can go wrong with either. They are both playable to around where your handicap is. If you progress below to a 5 handi you might outgrow the AP1's though.

I have a set of 2008 AP1s but I wish I had bought the AP2s. I now play Forged 690.CBs because I got a great deal on a "like new" set of 3-PW.
I would go with the AP2s.

If youre only 11, then i would go with the AP2. You will grow into them, eventually.

Why decide between them? If you're capable of hitting the AP2s - and you are - you can certainly hit the short irons from the set. If you're entertaining the idea of AP1s, I'm guessing you're more worried about your long irons than your short irons. The AP1/2 sets are the first ones I've been aware of that were designed to be mixed. You can get, say, ?-6 from AP1 and 7-W in AP2.

If you're just 11 years old, more distance will take care of itself as you grow bigger. Work on keeping that swing smooth!

Focus, connect and follow through!

I would go with the AP2s. I think you'll outgrow the AP1s. Another idea is to get a combo set. 7-PW AP2s and 4-6 AP1s - Or whatever combo you'd like. I've heard their is a difference in the loft degree (I think AP1s were lofted stronger?) between the sets, though. So if you went the combo route that would be something to look into.

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

Hy: Callaway FT 3Hy

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

Some of you are ridiculous. He will never "outgrow" the AP1's in the sense you guys are talking about.

There is a degree difference in the AP1 and AP2, but this is because the AP1 launches the ball higher for an equal loft. The differences, among other things, allow for the sets to be mixed.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
