The distance probably comes from a stronger lofting. The AP1's I have match with my old set except they're one number off. Meaning my 4iron has I believe 23* of loft where my 3 iron used to have 23* of loft. all the way through to the strong ass 45* pitching wedge. My 9 iron used to have 45*. So take the distance gain with a grain of salt. That being said i hit my 4 iron Ap1 1000 times more accurately than my old 3 iron. Im actually looking for a 3 iron AP1 with a matching shaft of what I have now on ebay. I kinda want their gap wedge too even though I have a vokey gap wedge.

You can get the new AP1 3i on TGW for about $90...

I've been using a set for about a month and really like them, though the Mizuno MX-300s are in my head. I've got another month and a half before the GolfSmtih 90/90 policy runs out though.

I stopped at Golf Galaxy today after my round to pick up some balls and was drooling over the AP1s as I've had my eye on those for a while. The manager started chatting me up and offered to let me hit a few balls even though I had no intention of buying. He also suggested I try the MX-300 as a comparison. I've got to say while the AP1s felt as great as I hoped they would, they felt a little bulky after hitting the MX-300s. I liked them both but if I had been buying today I probably would have bought the Mizunos. We'll see what happens when I actually have money :)

To the OP, I think you've got a great set of irons, congrats!

If you're referring to me, the one who originally posted this thread, then the answer to your question is no, not yet. The reason is that my clubs are in Florida where I'm having the lofts and lies adjusted and the shafts SST pured, which is a shaft alignment process far more complex than spine aligning. I should have my new clubs back the first week after Labor Day. I fully intend to report on the effectiveness of this procedure plus on the clubs themselves. I've been hitting my Ping Eye 2's in the meantime. Still great clubs, but not nearly as forgiving as the AP 1's seemed to be on the driving range. Stay tuned.

Been looking into these clubs for myself lately also seen a pro about a fitting but he did offer me other options still though I liked the feel of the AP1's. You have a great set, be sure to give us some feedback after a round or two on the course.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      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.
