Titleist ap2 710 vs callaway xhot 2 irons

[Riggins44]

I currently play ap2 710 and my ball striking hasn't been where it needs to be.  I found a good deal on a set of callaway x hot 2 irons and was curious if anybody has has played both and could give me a comparison

What is the nature of your ball-striking problem? Is it an end of summer problem, or a multi-season problem?

As far as comparisons go, the heads have similar ratings on the Maltby Playability Factor. AP2 MPF = 548 and X2Hot MPF = 589. Both fall into middle-of-road Game Improvement category for user-friendliness.

Further, we would need info other than the clubheads in question:

• What score/how much over par do you shoot on average?
• Were you fitted for the AP2 710?
• How far do you hit your AP2 7i?
• What are the shafts and flexs for the AP2 and X2Hot irons.

The X2Hots are not a good deal if they don't fit your swing. Some mix of swing review and iron fitting would be in order.

X2 Hot and AP2 irons are much different kind of clubs. AP2 is a player's cavity with some forgiveness while the X2 Hot is more of a game improvement iron. The X2 Hot will fly higher, longer and be more forgiving on off center hits than the AP2 710.

@Riggins44, what's your handicap?

My handicap hovers around 10.  I can get a set of the xhot 2 irons for 275$.  Seems like to good of a deal to pass up
