Titlesit AP2 irons

[jakester]

I play Callaway Razr tour irons. I started out learning with Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro...

I have been checking out used sets of the AP2's because I'd like to try a good set of forged again. My question is, has anyone Else noticed how the chrome is worn off the club face on these clubs? Some sets I've seen pics of on ebay look terrible, Nothing like that ever happened with my Ben Hogans and my son is still playing them...

what are some impressions/thoughts...

I recently just picked up a set of AP2s and love them so far. I haven't had them long enough to be able to comment on the wear but I would expect them to wear just like any other set of forged irons.

Uh oh.  This could get ugly.

AP2s tend to get some rust and wear on the face, much more so than other irons I've owned.  I just traded up from a set of original AP2s to the 712s, and the 7-PW on my old set had some pretty worn out faces.  They were basically rust colored bare metal.  I'm not sure why this happens, but I've also been looking at some preowned sets of the Titleist CBs and faces on those seem to wear the same.  It may be something about the way Titleist finishes the face.  I've owned 3 sets of Mizunos and a set of BH Grinds in the prior 20 years and never did that.

I play AP2 710 that i bought brand new 3 years back. I use them at the practice range as well. They have been heavily used and still look great. No rust, no discoloration just normal wear that you'd see with any iron. There is no way you could go wrong going with these.
