I upgraded from the old 704CB which are great sticks. I really like the feel in the long irons of these clubs. The short irons have a lot of bite. I'm probably going to blend in the 712CB 7-9 and an MB PW since those are feel clubs for me and I'm not concerned with off center shots in my short irons. If your looking for a forged club with a high ball flight then these will work for you along with the DG S300 shafts. If you are looking for precision and ultimate control then go with the CB in the mid and scoring irons they are remarkable.
I currently own a set of these new ap2's and love them. They are the perfect combination of bladelike control, and cavity forgiveness. Although the feel is nowhere near that of a japanese forged miura, mizuno, or fourteen, it is a huge improvement over Titleist's previous rendition. Just be warned: THERE ARE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FAKE AP2'S SOLD ON EBAY. I had to buy and return 4 sets of fake clubs before I realized that my best bet was to buy them from an authorized dealer in a store. Many of the fake sets were eerily similar to the real thing. The only reason that I could tell on two of the sets was because I have a friend who works as a Titleist rep. So, again, buy with caution.
Careful getting thru the authenticity hurdle of buying golf products on ebay. Lots of pirated stuff. Product review: Let me just start off with my approx handicap so you can relate to this review. Im about a 12 handicap, give or take a stroke here and there.... I have been playing Ping G10s for about 3 years - super game improvement irons, and they did just that, Decided to ease into a player iron with a cavity, before I tried straight blade types, my purpose is to work out the kinks of my swing and to learn how to shape my shots... Titleist AP2 710 irons are the best irons out there for anyone who is taking golf seriously and wants to keep advancing to expert levels in this game. The feedback these clubs provide are second to none and the forgiveness for the occasional miss hit are not as bad as some other "player" irons Ive tried. Add the KBS shaft upgrade or a project X flighted and this set up is the best you can get in my opinion. Aesthetically, they are blade like and a pleasure to address on every shot, well forged and look like a piece of jewelry. All this together with a minimal offset generates a sort of confident shot address feeling. Slay your golf buddies with these nasty forged weapons!!Read full review
These clubs are great. There was some adjustment from a full cavity back iron I was playing before, but after I got used to them they are a difference maker. I feel more confident in every shot I hit and find that I strike the ball much better with a better and more consistent ball flight. My second time playing with them I was able to hit more greens and closer to the pin (I almost ran one in for eagle on a par 5 from about 100 yards out). I feel like I'm able to hit different types of shots that I could have only dreamed of with my old cavity backs. The feedback on these clubs is great and make it extremely easy to know where and how the ball will go. I bought them used and in "good" condition, but there was hardly a scratch on them and absolutely zero effect of the playability of the clubs. I really like Titliest's irons and these are no exceptions, they make me look forward to playing the game and that's what golf is all about.Read full review
I've played titleist 690cb,690mb, several mizunos, macregor old school, hogans, etc. These were the clubs that truly taught me how to hit the ball. I'd always had accuracy, and could hit my 6 about 155, but with these I finally felt what hitting down meant consistently, and watched the ball soar away with a buzz. I added huge numbers to my distance, though did sacrifice some accuracy. I will say this. I thought my set was fake at first. They look a little cheap next to the 714 and 716s. I would recommend verifying your set with titleist, as I did. I think the number is 1-888-titleist. If you are between the 710 v 712, get these. They perform pretty similar to the 714, though the 714 looks much better, but will also cost a good 300 more. Good feel. Not a pure forged feel like the mb, or mizuno. It is somewhat click on impact. A thicker top line than most players clubs, but still moderately workable while providing amazing distance. I love these clubs. The 710 keeps pretty well too and seems to maintain better than the 712s.Read full review
