I purchased AP2 714 forged clubs after being fitted for them on a preorder and received them in November 2013.  I purchased a used set in May 2013 to see if I would like the forged clubs.  They were the original 2008 AP2s.  After playing with them for that period of time I realized that they were the club for me.  Prior to purchasing Titleist clubs I was playing Wilson Staff Ci9s, and prior to that cally X16s.....trying to find my nix.......obviously I feel in love with the forged clubs.....I am 67 years old and my handicap is 10 and I really like the feel of the 714s.....I can work the golf ball......when they talk about a mid-handicap, I would assume I fit in that catagory.....the shaft play a big role in this club.....the first set I had were project X 5.5 shafts and now I play  XP95 S300  D2 with a midsize grip and like the clubs, but it is an adjustment period.......I have a clubhead speed of 110 and have to work on my tempo with these new shafts or I will have a tendancy to go left with them....the weather has not been cooperative this year....when my tempo is right.....the ball is on target.....advertising be danged.....go to a authorized fitter and let them tell you if this is what you need.....the AP1 might be the club for you......there are just too many things that go into purchasing a set of quality clubs like Titleist and you want to get it right.....chuck

Thanks Chuck

I'm going for a fitting on Tues but have been unable to get a Demo set of 714s. They did give me a set of AP2 712s to try and they feel sweet. But I still want to try the 714s they look really great in the photos.  The 712s are Muscle Back but the 714s seem to be a combo of both ("Dual Cavity Back is how I think Titleist describes them.) Is this  correct? 

Thanks again
