I have been using my new AP2's for 6 months. I switched from Ping i10's. With the i10's my handicap was a solid 2-4 and I shot my best score 68 in match play. With the AP's the best I have done is 70, but my handicap has balloned to 7-8?
Anyway this is the most solid and especially stable club head I have ever hit. Where ever it is lined, that's exactly where it goes, period. Like other reviews I have problems fading it, easier to hit a slight draw, but I prefer straight anyway. Pure hits are rewarded with a buttery soft feel and beautiful ball flight. I find this club fairly forgiving and think anyone up a 15 handicap could hit it easily. My only issue is yardage control. I know exactly how far I hit each club but every once in awhile I get a pure flyer, I mean like 20 yards more than I expected?? Others I have talked to have experienced the same issue. One good player I know (2 handicap) switched back to his TaylorMades for this reason alone. Both of us have Project X shafts, maybe that's the reason, I just don't know. I really love the feel of these irons but I sometimes wonder if I should have stayed with my Ping's just for more predictalbe yardage control.
I also think my 9 iron and wedge specs are off but have not had time to get them checked. A club maker I deal with said Titleist is notorious for bad specs.
Anyway in summary, very beautiful looking iron. A bit over priced, and extremely slow delivery, but overall worth the wait. Titleist or Ping, tough choice, but I think I prefer the feel I get with this forged iron, now if I can only get the yardage under control I will be happy.

Slow, slow and slower!
Specs not as stated, very dissappointing considering the price.

I have been looking at the new Ping I15's when my club pro offered for me to play a round with a set of AP2's. Amazing is all I can say. My first hit with the 3 iron went 220m dead straight. I felt I was in control of the ball and even a miss hit went straight (just not as far). My Ping ISI's are going into the roof storage when I pick up my new AP2's on Saturday.

All I can say is wow. I picked up these irons last week and have been to the range twice. I cannot wait to play a round with these clubs because I have never felt anything so sweet before. I have been playing Titleist irons since 1996 and this set blows away everything I owned before. I can work the ball with ease and hit my targets like a sharp shooter. Thank you Titleist for these clubs...I have a feeling they will be in my bag for many years to come!

I have not been able to play as much as I liked to with my business. I used to play with Mizuno MP 37 blades which are not too forgiving and thats why I switched to the AP2's because they look like a blade from above, but are more forgiving with the dual cavity back. The shafts have a great feel to them which is very uniformed compared to your typical dynamic gold shafts. I still am getting used to them and have to figure out the thicker soles compared to the MP 37's. Over all they are a very solid club and they look and feel GREAT! I was fortunate to win at my local club stroke play championship tournament after only playing with them for a few times. Definetly an iron to consider if you are looking for and adavantage over your buddies or an important tournament.

I have been a Titleist player for years and without a doubt this is the best "forgiving" players iron offered by Titleist. I've migrated from the 685MB's only a month ago but have already dropped by 4 strokes. The workability is still there, distance is improved, and miss hits travel your intendend line with great precision. Good eye appeal also. Feedback is sufficent as is durability. I was skeptical at first but the results speak for themselves. It will be a cold day in hell before I give these baby's up. Extremely cold...

Bought this AP2 after being fitted with NS PRO Super Peening Red "R" lie angle 1deg up, grip midsize in Jan09. But kept them in the box while waiting for my game to get better. Previous irons Bridgestone TOURSTAGE V301. Recently my HCP dropped to 15 and thought ready to play th AP2.

This morning was the first time to use AP2. Very nice ball flight (high) that landed the ball well with little roll. Exactly what I'm looking for and the NSPRO shaft delivers. Tried the Rifle Project X 5 during fitting but ball flight low and ball landed flat and much roll on the green. In terms of distance compared to the V301, not much difference. But the AP2 has better and closer ball dispersion. So it give me confident to attack greens. In terms of forgiveness, AP2 doesn't disappoint. In terms of feel, not as good as the supreme Mizuno MP60. Not buttery soft but a slight hard thud.

Overall, I like the accuracy of AP2. The look of it while taking stance.

Customer Service

Very GOOD

I've been using these irons for about eight months with excellent results. I wasn't so sure about buying AP2, mainly because of the popular myth that Titleist is for good players only. I had just broken 100 when I got AP2, so it took quite a lot of convincing before I was even willing to try it. The result: AP offers ideal balance of performance and forgiveness, even for high handicappers like me. I gained about 5-7 yards each for mid to long irons (I used Mizuno MX-25 before) with better accuracy. With a much improved greens in regulation stat thanks to AP2, now I consistently hit low 90s and look forward to breaking 90 when spring comes along. I highly recommend these clubs.

Ive been playing AP2's now for about 5 months and I must say they are very good clubs and I am very happy with them. I made the switch to these from Titleist's 695cb model and even though the 695's are a degree stronger, ive noticed no drop in distance. The ball launches with a nice mid-flight for me but does not balloon.

I found the feel to be a little more "muted" compared to a traditional forged iron, but not in a bad way. Call it crisp instead of buttery, haha.

I will admit it is not quite as easy to move the ball around with the AP2's for some reason as my old 695's, but its a minor problem for me because i dont try to shape my shots very often and its a trade-off i will take for the little extra forgivness these provide.

These are perfect clubs for for scratch to 10 handicaps, or better players in general who do not get to practice as much as they would like.

They can be a little pricey depending on where you buy them but i think the prices are coming down on the retail level a little bit.

I was recently fitted for the Titleist AP2 irons (3-PW), with the Project X 5.5 shafts, 1" longer than standard, with the lie angles adjusted 3 degrees upright. I tried the Project X flighted shafts, and they were definitely not for me - I had a tendency to hook them (especially the longer irons) for some reason, and they felt heavy in a way that made the clubhead feel too light and difficult to feel throughout the swing. While many people, I've heard, like these irons with the DG S300's, I personally found this shaft too heavy for me, although for some reason I could feel the clubhead better with this shaft than with Project X flighted (the DG S300's are 130 grams; the Project X 5.5 are, I believe, 118 grams, cut to standard length.) The fitter refused to even allow me to try the Nippon shafts available, for some reason, advising me that they simply were not for me. Having only played two rounds with these irons, I am a true fan of them. I am not a long hitter. I hit my 7-iron only 160 yards, and my 3 iron 200 yards. With these irons, having had them properly fitted for me, however, all shots travel the specified distances, and land softly on the green with no roll. I do not spin the ball back with any of these irons, but as said, the ball stops almost completely dead on the green, even with the 3 iron. These irons with the Project X shafts, for me anyway, launch the ball relatively high, but they do not balloon. (With the six iron, my iron speed is about 82 mph, with a launch angle usually around 25 degrees.) The forgiveness level of these irons is quite good for a so-called player's iron, the accuracy is excellent, and they are definitely playable (although with anything other than true blades, I have always found controlled draws much easier than controlled fades; with these irons, the controlled fade is only a little more difficult than a controlled draw). The feel on well-struck shots is very nice -similar to forged blades, albeit more muted. They do not, however, give you that completely true and soft mushroom-y feel that you might get with, say, Hogan Apexes, where you almost feel the ball actually compress on the clubhead. Off-centre contact can be easily felt but again, it is softer, and much less jarring than with a blade. Shots somewhat off-centre may cost you up to 10 yards, as these clubs are forgiving player's clubs, not game-improvement clubs. (Off-centre shots with blades, in my experience, can cost you alot more than 10 yards.) With the Project X shafts at least, distance control on partial shots is something that has to be learned. In explanation, for me anyway, I find I have to swing a little harder on partial shots to achieve the desired distance than what I was used to with almost any shaft other than the Project X's. I believe this may have something to do with how you load the shaft, given the very stiff mid-section of the Project X shafts. These irons are without a doubt the best irons I have ever played, for someone with my ability, i.e. I am an 8 handicap with relatively decent ballstriking ability. I truly believe that these irons will help me take my game to the next level. Finally, and somewhat as an aside, I cannot stress enough the importance of being properly fitted for these irons. As an example, if these irons came standard with the DG S300's or the Project X flighted, and I tried them at a golf store before contemplating being fitted for them, I likely would never have contemplated being fitted for them; it was pure fortune for me that they came standard with Project X 5.5's. (When you walk into many golf stores now, you will see, for instance, Mizuno MP-57's on the wall in both the DG S300's and Project X 5.5's, as different players will be much better off with one of these shafts over the other. Accordingly, the only real way to know if the AP2's are right for you, is to get fitted for them, or to luck out - i.e. the standard Project X 5.5's agree with you.)

The wait for these irons was long, but I am pleased to say, worth it.

Hogan Apex (much less forgiving, but this club has almost perfect feel); Mizuno MP-57 (a little less forgiving, especially with the long irons; distance loss on truly off-centre hits is much worse; also, they launch the ball a bit higher; on the plus side, the feel is more blade-like.)

I was looking for forgiving iron these days. one of my single digit friend recommended this club for the forgiving as well as performance. i have ordered NS PRO 950 shaft whereas my friend has project 5.5 because I have been used NS PRO950.
I have been played a few weeks. However 1-2 rounds doest not work well.
because AP2 has lower offset value which make me a bit difficult.
After a few round play, I have noticed that this club has a solid feel which is same as my preivious iron 690.CB and also most forgiving iron which I have met.
Ball flight is a little bit higher than my previous iron but softly grounded on the green. I have lost my feeling of iron hitting but after got AP2, the sense of iron hitting came back. Those who want to have forgiving and solid performance, recommended to have it
But the ball flight is a bit boring which is not the matter to me and felt that forgiving reduce the forged iron hitting feeling.
