Hi all,

until 2009 i played weekly and got down to 10, kids then came along and i only played when i could. now i have more time and want to get serious again. i need some new irons and have seen 4-PW AP2 712's @ £260gbp or 5-PW AP2 716's @ £315gbp. what should i go for?

thanks in advance, Greg

I believe most people will tell you to go hit each set to get your preference.     Which ever set you choose, take them to a place that can do at least a static fitting, length, lie and loft.    

Good luck and welcome to TST!

712 AP2 is a very classic player's iron.  Take a blade iron, dig a little cavity and move some weight to the perimeter to increase the forgiveness for off-center hits and you get the 712 AP2.

716 AP2 is you take the 712, increase the cavity size for even more forgiveness for off-center hits, and add tungsten to toe and heel for more forgiveness of heel-toe off-center hits.

712 feels more classic, 716 has more forgiveness for off-center hits.  Your call what you prefer.
