    Hey all,

    Can't wait to get fit for the new AP3s. Was planning on going this weekend but Irma ruined my plans. Curious for those who plan on getting a set (or already ordered), what's going to be your setup? Are you going 4-Gap with a 21 hybrid, or 5-Gap with a 23 hybrid (assuming the hybrid is an 818:)?

    Who is getting the 4 iron? Loft wise, seems like the 4 AP3 is pretty much like a traditional 3 iron.

    Ordered mine last week. My setup will be as follows:

    9.5 917 Driver
    15 917 3 wood
    18 2/3 driving iron
    4-PW AP3
    48 Vokey
    53 Vokey
    58 vokey

    I replaced my 4 iron with a hybrid with my AP1 714. Probably the best decision I have in a while. It is one of my go to clubs from 180 to 190 yards. I have my fitting scheduled for Thursday September 14. I am going with an open mind and see what the Titleist fitter and the track man tell me are the best clubs for me.
  4. Hi Danny,

    I've got a 2 hour fitting booked in for 26 Sept. in Australia. My set-up will be new 917 driver and 3 wood, my existing but near new TMB 2 iron plus new irons. I'm also keeping my old 260.04 wedge. I'm thinking about either the AP3's, AP2's or even C16's, although they are pretty expensive. I'm going for 4 iron to PW and then adding another 2 wedges. The lofts will depend on the irons since AP3's and C16 have a very strong PW, 43 deg. If I go for these then I'll probably get 48 deg and 54 deg wedges. That way if I decide to change my old 60 deg wedge I can either go for a new 60 or a 58, without the gap being too small.

    The benegit for me with the C16's or AP3's is that the 4 iron is quite strong, 22 deg, so it's close to a 3 iron anyway. I currently have a hybrid which I'm dropping out in favour of another wedge. I don't use my 3 wood and hybrid more than 4 or 5 times a round combined, so I won't miss it. I use my 2 iron off the tee on short par 4's and even some par 5's which are not overly long but I can't reach in 2 because of bunkers in fron of the greens. Several of the par 5's on my course are like this so I can hit 2 iron, 4 iron and 9 or PW. Ive been working on my course management this year and trying to play smarter golf.
  5. Ordered AP3 3-W(48 degree) because the included AP3 43 degree PW was too far away from my 52 degree Vokey SM6 gap wedge. Have always liked long irons so am looking forward to having a strong 3 that can fly high and far and is more forgiving. Hope to have the clubs around Sep. 29 and will report back on 3/4 iron performance and feel. Best of luck to you in your decision.

    I went thru the TT sneak peak fitting. Gaps are definitely a concern.

    Currently, besides Driver, 5W and putter, I have a 915F 21*, 913H 24*, AP2 5-PW, Vokey 52/56/60. After the fitting, I'm planning on 818H1 23*, AP3 5-GW, Vokey 52/56/60.

    It won't happen all at once, but hopefully by next spring!
