Although I use a titliest driver , putter, and hybrids I am stuck on my burner '09 irons ( steel shaft regular flex) . I have been told that titliest irons are too unforgiving for a 10 handicap . With the newer releases you have made which titliest irons would be similar to waht i have , but an upgrade---thanks

I am a 16 HDCP, I really like the feel of forged irons. Should I be using the 712 AP1 or 712 AP2 irons? I hit my 6 iron about 160 yds. My swing speed is 85 to 90 MPH. What shaft would you recommend?
Thank you

to get the maximun preformance out of your equiment, why don't you PURE every shaft at the factory before they ship to the to the consumer or big box stores?

Dear Team Titleist,
The new 712 AP2 irons look and feel great. As a player who has traditionally gravitated towards a "thinner" top line, there is a slight adjustment period when transitioning into AP2. However, the performance, feel, and look of the AP2 make that adjustment period shorter than any other offering to date.
From the perspective of R&D, would a "thinner" top line present difficulty in terms of CG location due to weight or it is simply "thicker" to blend more smoothly with the overall profile of the iron? In speaking with both fellow PGA Professionals and amateurs, it seems as if future AP2 iterations might attract more players if the top line was marginally "thinner."

I currently play Hogan apex pro irons.....What Titleist club would be the closest match/best replacement (righthanded)??

I love the control and ball flight that my 2 and 3 irons bring to my game. Will these be offered with the new AP1 and AP2's-- even as an option? The 2 was not offered when I purchased my current AP1's and I notice the trend with other brands is to eliminate the 3 as well.
My old 2 from my previous DCI set has served me well and has been promised retirement in an honored place in the garage--so don't disappoint it!

Iron technology is so advanced today, The CB vs MB, is there a glaring difference in terms of forgiveness? Obviously a CB is perimeter weighted allowing for more forgiveness, but do the MBs have much forgiveness at all? Or is it more of a performance club first, forgiveness club 2nd? Thanks.

As a 15 handicapper which of the new Titleist irons would help me lower my scores.

Hello, I am 34 hcp, the new AP1 could go right for me? I was too hard as iron?
I have two bags, the first game with GPX Pro 800 with steel shaft regular DYNA 2011 model, the second bag with CB2 black with regular steel shaft KBS model 2011, I feel good, but I was curious to know how are new AP1?
sincerely

I currently play s2h2 irons with the memphis 10 shaft. What would you recommend from Titleist that is comparable?

Played AP2 for a couple of years and was a 2-4 handicap. This year I only played 50 rounds or so and was struggling a bit so switched to the AP1 for the forgiveness. While they are excellent irons I did notice they are not shot makers, like the AP2's. Difficult to hit it low etc. AP2's were easy to do anything, and I miss that.
So my question is will the new AP1 712 series be more of a shot makers club as well as maintain the foregiveness factor. I will be playing more next season and want to switch back to the AP2's unless the AP1 will now work for the lower handicap player. Thanks

I play the 710 AP1s. How does the 712 AP1s differ? Will I hit the ball longer and more accurate?

I have been working on my game a lot in the past 6 years, Every year I have dropped my handicap. I was wondering when (if ever) I should consider purchasing a blade type iron, as opposed to the "game improvement" iron I am currently using?

My question is similar to the one posed by Richard S. I'm a 6 handicap (a couple years ago I was a 3, but with a 17-month old daughter, times have changed, lol). I have a set of 690CB irons and am considering getting new irons. Can you tell us specifically what are the differences between the 690 CB and the 712 CB irons? Also, can you talk about grooves in two respects: one, I think my irons are 6 years old; how much do grooves wear out over that period? Two, will the grooves on my 690CB set be non-conforming in the near future? Thanks.

The "MBforged" stamp on the blades has to go. Otherwise, a beautiful club. Why is it necessary to stamp clubs up at this point? Somebody has to get that!
Stephen B wrote on November 17, 2011 at 2:42PM
I've been playing the 690.CBs for 8 years. Will I see much difference in the new CBs or the AP2? Thanks.

I currently play the Titleist AP 2 710 with Project X 5.5 shaft and love them.What improvements have you made on AP2 712 irons vs the AP2 710 irons?Thank You.

I know that the AP1 712's have a new and improved look to them, but I have only had my AP1 710's for a little over a year(fitted by Titleist Fitting Rep), I'm wondering what advantages, I could expect from upgradeing to the 712? My current set up has the Regular Titleist Graphite Shafts with the standard loft, lie, and length, my 910 Woods & Hybrid are Ilima Red as well.

I have AP1’s from last year, what will the new model do for me. Also they hit the ball very high.
