Thinking about getting fit for new irons.

[tosob]

I was going to make an appointment to get fit for new irons. Then clubs I was going to demo are Titleist ap1,  Mizuno 900 forged and hot metal, Callaway apex .  Now that Titleist has announced the new 718 I'm thinking about waiting and adding the ap3. Should I add any other clubs to the mix, wait for the 718's. How long before the shops have demo's? 

confused in nw indiana

If you have lots of fun money to spend, you could wait for the 718s.

Otherwise, you could try current models, or models that are about a year old and going on clearance.

I went to a Titleist demo day in June, and got some quality time with different iron models. AP1 felt quite different depending upon what shaft was in the head, as did the AP2 and the CB. 

Get a free Titleist Thursdays fitting and try out different head and shaft combinations. (Shaft is half the club!)

The two Mizuno models felt quite good when I hit them at the golf expo in February. And, I play primarily Callaway. Many golfers like the straight-up Apex irons better than the Apex Pro (either year).

Buy used, you are a 15 handicap. The supposed new technology developed in 8 months from the older Titleist models won't help you - go on ebay and get the 716s. spend the money saved on your kids, you are aren't breaking 80 anytime soon.

He'll probably be gone soon enough, either out of boredom (preferred) or because he's been forced to go for violating the rules.

@tosob, if you want to wait for the all new AP3, go for it. I believe it's a fall release for those so it's not too far away.

From the little bit I've read from the other posters and the forums, the AP3 is a club more or less marketed at your skill level. From what I've read it's a cross between an AP1 and AP2.

Thanks for all the comments. By the way I'm old and selfish.

So am I, but I only shot 84, and it was yesterday not today.  

I think whatever decision you make will be the right one for this.

I think in order to get the best club for you, you should be brand agnostic. Find a fitter you trust explicitly and let them do their job.
