I know alot of this discussion probably comes down to personal feel/preference of a club.  I'm trying to see if there are any main differences between the AP2 and Razr X Forged.  To be honest I like them both.  I appear to be hitting the Razr a little more solid and it has a nice feel.  Any feedback on the two would help.  Thanks.

Both good and somewhat similar.  AP2's will generally launch higher.  The other difference is obviously the AP2's employ a chrome finish and the RAZR X have a satin finish.

Get the right shaft and the AP2s should outperform almost any club due to the combination of forgiveness and workability. Shact is key.

definitely ap2, for some reason I've just never been a fan of callaway irons. heard nothing but great things about the ap2's and as smoothswing said, with the right shaft the forgiveness and workability are almost unmatched in a muscleback design.

i would recommend the adams pro a12 tho they are very similar. small muscle back with mid to high launch due to low COG and very workable irons with great feel.

Mike, if you put the same shafts in them, the AP2s will launch higher? Or do you mean stock off the rack? Please clarify. Thanks.

Yeah same shaft, same length, AP2's will go higher.  Multi material irons with the tungsten weight away from the face and low.  AP2's might also have a shallower profile but I haven't compared them that closely.

Thanks guys.  Was rippin the AP2's tonight on the range.  Had the Razr X Forged as well.  6 iron, same shafts.  AP2 for me was farther and just felt better.  Pulled the trigger and should have my new sticks within a week.  Cant wait.  Appreciate all your help.

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
