Hello, I'm 17 years old, and I've been playing golf on and off all my life. But this year is the year I am going to stick with it and really accomplish some goals in the sport. For someone who doesn't put a ton of time into it I'm pretty good. I hit the ball decent 75% of the time and my distances on my clubs are longer than most adults I've played with. My swing speed is probably anywhere between 90-100 mph. Right now I'm playing with Nike SQ Machspeed Irons w/ steel shafts. I've had this set for about 4-5 years and I'm looking to upgrade either late this year or next year. I've been looking at a set of Ttitleist AP1 irons that I saw in a local course's pro shop, and I've thought about purchasing them when I have enough money from work. But then I learned that there are AP2 irons out. Are these sets of irons good for a novice but experienced golfer like me? Have any of you had experience with these sets of irons? Thanks.

Not sure they are good for your game or not. I would go and demo them, or get fitted for a set of clubs. It is impossible anyone to say they would be a good club for you or not.

What kind of player are these clubs recommended for?

Little amount of bounce, offset, lack of cavity back, clubhead size. I would say they are suppose to compete with Mizuno MP-15's and such.

I would say, PGA Tour level to 9 handicap probably. There are PGA Tour players who play these irons, and probably a lot of single digit players.

I would say AP1's are much more game improvement, so probably 15-30 handicap players.

Again that is a wide range. I am sure there are 15 handicap players who like their AP1's. They are built for and advertised for better players.

I have both sets: AP1-710 and AP2-712 models.  The AP1's are more forgiving but the AP2's are more accurate and provide better feedback. If you want to be a more serious golfer and practice weekly the AP2's would be the better choice. If you simply like to casually play on the weekends then the AP1's are better. Both are good sets however.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
