I am planning to buy a set of Titleist AP1s and I would like some advice on the best shaft to use in these clubs. I do not want the Dynamic Golds, so I am looking at one of the Nippon options or maybe the Project X 5.5s. Two questions:
1. I've hit the Titleist AP2s with a Project X 5.5 shaft and I really like the feel and the ball flight. Which of the Nippon shafts, the NS PRO 100 or the NS PRO 970 has the most similar characteristics to the Project X 5.5?
2. I know that the Project X is the stock shaft for the AP2 and is perfectly tuned for that club head, but will it work just as well for the AP1?
Thanks.

The multi-material, dual cavity design of the <a href="www.titleist.com/.../ap2.asp" rel="nofollow">Titleist AP2</a> irons is vastly different than the design of the 690.CBs. The high tech multi-material construction features a steel body, tungsten nickel sole, elastomer bar and aluminum cavity plate. These materials combine to deliver outstanding playing characteristics and superior feel. Although you mention that you have limited opportunities to test and get fitted for Titleist clubs, our recommendation will always be to consult with an <a href="www.fittingworks.com/FindaFitter.aspx" rel="nofollow">Authorized Titleist FittingWorks Partner</a> before purchasing your new Titleist irons.
I'm currently playing off a 9 handicap and love the look of the new Titleist irons. Are the AP irons only suitable for low single figure handicaps or pros? What sort of handicaps are they suitable for?

What is the difference between AP1 and AP2? I have tried the AP1 and liked them but found them to have quite a wide sole. Any ideas on what would be best?
