Upon receipt I immediately took them to the range and compared them with my DCI 962 irons head to head. Honestly, very little difference between them and my DCI 962 'S, definetly not any longer, maybe a little higher loft, maybe? I'm mildly amused that after all the hype and some 21 years later, that's it? I'm gonna game these for a few rounds just to make sure but as of now I'm truly underwhelmed. I'm not a range rat and I don't buy into the club fitting hype either. It either works or it doesn't, and it's really that simple. But, for those who have read this far, I'm gaming 962's with tt s300 shafts and the ap2 716 set is stiff with the 95 recoil shaft. The only difference is that I have oversized grips on my DCI clubs. I've ordered new grips and will update after I upgrade the ap2 set but honestly I don't think it's gonna make that significant of a difference. But.... it might. They look great, feel great, little slimmer top line profile. I want to be overwhelmed but as of now, I'm not. I play to an 8 hdcp and average 240 off the tee. 3 wood 210, 5 wood 195, 4 hybrid 180, 5 hybrid 165, 6 hybrid 155, Pw 100 yds, 9 iron 115, 8 iron 125, 7 iron 135, 6 iron 145. Carrying a 50, 52, 58 for wedges, yes I know that's an odd gap but I'm a feel player, right tool for the job kind of thing. I'm giving my numbers in case it helps someone who is similar to me. Not hating, just underwhelmed. Read full review

I am a 4 handicap golfer who has played Ping for the past 15 years. Last year switched to Titleist AP2's. Without a doubt the most stable club head I have ever swung. Line it up hit it, ball goes exactly where the club head comes through. Terrific out of the rough, very easy. With my Ping i10's I shot my first 68. I had always heard if you want to get more consistant yardages go to a forged club. So, I decided to try the AP2. So far my best round is 70, but I shoot a lot more low scores with these irons due to the increased accuracy. I had a tendancy to pull my Ping's even after having them bent. Maybe they were just too light (common issue with Ping), or the increased offset was the cause. My only concern with my AP2's is that with the Project X shaft I get the odd flyer. I mean 20 yards (6 iron = 180) more than normal 160. I have talked with 3-4 low handicap golfers who have the same issue with this iron. One even switched back to his old irons. I have wrote Titleist regarding this issue, NO response, No guidance, a bit frustrating. It could just be that this flyer issue is a fact of life with blades. Anyway I plan on keeping them in the bag, too many plus's not enough negatives to take them out. They also get a lot of looks because they are just a beautiful iron. I also think anyone who makes good ball contact, even a 10+ handicap can hit these with no problem.Read full review
If you like irons that set up pure at address you will love the looks of the Ap2. They set up very similar to Mizuno irons. The Aerotech shafts are excellent feeling. If you are a talented older golfer with a bit of arthritis- I would recommend this type of shaft. The Ap2 irons are super consistent in relation to distant control and dispersion.

My info 8 + years of playing Handicap - 8 Played 1 round with them, got Project X 5.5 shafts.(i swing smooth and controlled, also looking for higher launch) Pretty looking club, good feel, easy shot shapping. Very easy to hit, even though head is small it's suprising forgiving when not hit flush. Great iron for mid handicapper looking to get better. (like me) I was stuck between the Mizuno MP-53 and AP2s. I went with AP2 based on the deal, looks and samller head design. Everything else was par or close to between the 2.
I've had my Titleist 690CB irons for 5 years and had no intention of letting them out of my bag until I tried the new Titleist AP2 irons. Simply awesome. I had 3 shots with a 6 iron and went back to pro shop to get the rest. Short irons fly lower and more controlled, long irons fly further and higher. I have not carried a 3 iron for a couple of years in favour of a rescue, but even that has gone. The clubs are that easy to hit. The feel is super soft even with off-centre hits. A must try for all low handicap golfers.
