I just read a review on the new Titleist AP2 irons. I love Titleist’s equipment, and I play some of it, (ball, wedges 1 out of 3 drivers I own) but I have just never hit any titleist iron that felt good in my hands. They are either too big, or too small, too heavy, or too light. Ive always wanted to play titleist irons because I think that they make a superior product as a whole, and it is comforting to hear that titleist is finally realizing that its ok to make a good game-improvment club for a mid handicapper. I saw some pictures of them and they just look beautiful… I think I might hold out on my iron search and give these bad boys a fair chance… : )

Hi-bore - 8.5* w/ 77g UST ProForce v2 stiff

Titleist has made plenty of irons for "mid-handicappers." These models are a re-entry to that market. The 804s, the 775s that replaced them, the 962s back in the day...

Note that some of the models are cast. Here are some good sized images we got "somewhere." As far as I can tell they're authentic.

Potentially, do you think that the AP 2's would be a good set for an 11 handicapper?

Yes and no . At 11 handicap you are on your way to taking the next level in golf . AP 2 are forgiving irons but what you may need is more workable irons such as the Z series . Golf is about how to work your shots to favor you and not the other way around . It may be challenging but it is worth the Play time . Try to see if you can try the Z on the range . You will not be dissapointed... that i can promise .

I was watching round 1 of the Euro PGA tour in Abu Dhabi last night and noticed that Adam Scott had the Titliest AP2's. The commentator then also mentioned that he was playing the "new Titleist AP2's".

What a Great Plug. Not only did the commentator promote the new 2008 clubs, Adam then proceed to hit a 3 iron 230 yards 10 ft fromt he pin to chip for Eagle. I would have thought that Adam would be using Z-blades............ Any one see that?

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
