Titleist AP2 Irons

The Titleist AP2 irons have been around for quite a while and for a good reason. They are a great middle of the road iron for lower handicappers. The irons offer a good amount of forgiveness for being considered a lower handicapper club. They have a fairly wide sole and a thicker topline than a lot of players clubs out on the market. This is all great for a god player who is looking for as much forgiveness as possible without losing that look of a blade type club. With that being said, many really good players find this iron unattractive because of that thicker topline. It may be harder to work the ball left to right and right to left, but that added forgiveness definitely helps on mis-hits. These irons also come with what Titleist has called the “Tuned Feel System.” This feature includes a cavity in the back of the iron that is filled with soft elastomer, which gives the iron a softer feel and a better sound. This insert really gives the AP2 iron a great feel, and allows for more forgiveness in the club because of the cavity that is created in the back of the clubhead to make room for this material.

The AP2 irons also come with a number of shaft choices, but the stock shaft is a True Temper Dynamic Gold. True Temper has been a huge name in golf shafts for many, many years and it is very fitting for them to be stock in these irons because of their tradition of excellence and performance.

These irons are widely used on professional tours around the world because their offer a tour player what they are looking for in terms of feel, looks and performance. It is not a shock that these irons have been the flagship iron model for Titleist for years now.

Overall, I give these irons for the:

Low Handicapper (0-9): 8 out of 10 Divots

Middle Handicapper (10-19): 6 out of 10 Divots

High Handicapper (20+): 2 out of 10 Divots
