The new Titleist AP2 irons, which began shipping to golf shops this week, are gaining momentum across the worldwide professional tours and attention by the national publications. Check out this morning's article in USA Today featuring the AP2 irons that are being played with success by Adam Scott and many others on the Titleist Tour staff.
Titleist ambassador Adam Scott is one of the many full-line Titleist players to put the new Titleist AP2 irons in play on tour.

After hitting a bunch of clubs it seems to me that the AP1 falls somewhere between the AP2 (player's club) and something more "game improving." Is this a fair assessment?

I have been playing another manufacturer's irons since I started playing golf about a year ago. I've progressed somewhat quickly and consistently shoot in the high 80s to low 90s. I've been looking to step up to more advanced clubs, but still something that is forgiving enough. Would the AP1s be a good fit for me? What are the biggest differences I would see between the AP1s and my current clubs? Thanks.

What is the stock shaft for the AP2s? Is it the regular Project X or the Flighted version?

As indicated on the <a href="www.titleist.com/.../AP2.asp" rel="nofollow">AP2 product page on Titleist.com</a>, the stock shaft for AP2 is Project X.

I have always been a fan of Titleist irons. I am actually playing a set from about 10 years ago (DCI 962s w/ Rifle 6.5) and haven't had a reason to switch. I am about a 4 index and have heard the buzz about the new clubs and was thinking of going to a newer iron. I am confused though as to the difference between the AP2 and the Z Forged irons. Any thoughts on which way to go. I have always been a strong iron player especially the short irons. Also, I have been playing the Rifle 6.5 and like the feel. Any thoughts on the best shaft available? I would like to stay with something similar. It would be nice to have something in mind going into it. Thanks!

I have been playing another manufacturer's clubs for 8 months now and was never that sure of them. I got custom fitted today by my pro at Scotscraig Golf Club in Scotland, and after trying various shafts and heads from the fitting cart I was fitted for the AP2 irons with Dynamic Gold shaft. I was a bit worried about the high launch shaft into the wind as it's always windy but the AP2s blew that concern away. These irons are superb, I'm hitting the 6 iron 15 - 20 yards further than my old clubs with a nice high flight.

Can you please tell me why the AP2 irons have the Project X 5.5 as the stock shaft? Isn't this the equivalent of a Dynamic Gold S300 (i.e., stiff)?
Thanks

Extensive consumer testing during the development phase for AP2 irons revealed that players preferred the feel of the AP2/Project X 5.5 combination.

What are lofts of Adam's AP2s? Thanks.

1° weaker than standard.

I currently use the 755 irons with 3985 stiff graphite shafts due to a shoulder accident which occurred several years ago. From a comparison stand point, does the 755 equally compare to the AP1 or AP2? Which shaft is comparable in a heavier weight graphite?

I'm looking at buying some new Titleist clubs. I'm playing off about a 12 or 14 and would like to know the difference between the AP1 and AP2 irons.

I have just ordered a set of AP2 irons, but I've been told the wait time is 10 weeks. Is this purely due to the high demand for these irons?
