This clubs are great and do have an amount of forgiveness in them.i would not recommend them to a golfer above 9 handicap though because, even though not ture blades you still have to strike the ball in the dead center to achive maximum distance out of each club unlike the cavity back irons.i love the ball flight off this things it keeps it down lovely and loww but you could all the same chose to hit a high ball out there but since i live in ireland that will not be an issue

GREAT

went to a big golf store with range adjacent yesterday and tested 6 irons: mp57 vs cg red vs x-forged vs ap2.
hitting off a mat.

i currently play x20 tours with proj. x 5.0.

i don't make that many really pure swings so i need some forgiveness.

the ap2 won my test - it looks good, feels good, and has forgiveness.

i'm teetering. i might order a set.

I have to agree with all the typed hype about these irons. Having switched from the Cleveland CG4 to the AP2 there are major differences obviously. I was striking the CG4 well but lacked the ability to work the ball from left to right. The AP2 can do it all. They have a solid feel and look that says, "these clubs can hit shots". Look, feel, graphics, all done very well by Titleist. I have had them for a short period of time and am hitting approach shots of all lenghts much closer to the pin than ever before. If your an accomplished golfer with a good swing, do your self a favor and try this set out. You wont be disappointed.

I bought a set of AP2s with Project X 5.5 based on hype alone, having never actually hit the clubs. Finding a set for sale was not easy, as I guess everyone is jazzed up over Titleist's effort at a multi-material iron head. I've now played the irons over a dozen rounds and have a reasonable feel for them. I like these irons. They are definitely different than the usual 100% carbon steel forged player's iron. The sweet spot is a little larger, there's a little more forgiveness and the ball launches higher on routine swings. The sweet spot seems relatively tight in terms of hitting accurate shots, but not as tight as a mizuno or miura player's club. But, for a club with a fair amount of forgiveness, the accuracy seems good to me. The stock shaft is the Project X, which has worked well for me in other iron heads, but I'd like to try the AP2s with Dynamic Golds to see if there is a difference. My guess is that Titleist went with Project X (i) because they are trendy and (ii) to offset the higher launch of this iron head. If you like Project X, they seem to work fine with this head. The size of the head is acceptable for a player's club. The topline has a little beef to it, but it is not bad. The offset is less than I expected (visually less than the Taylormade TP R7 for example) and the clubs sit well behind the ball. Just from looking at the head, my initial thought was that the sole is too wide for a player's iron. I guess it has to be wider in order to incorporate the welded on tungsten portion. I'm still not convinced these soles will work for all shots (I have not really played greenside bumps and chips from tight lies yet), but I have to say that thus far I have encountered no problems with them. Getting to the last important points - feel and control. These feel different to me than old school forged heads. Not different in a bad way, just different. On a dead center hit, you almost cannot feel anything, somewhat similar to an old school forging. Off center hits are definitely more muted than with an old school club, which some may like. I've found the clubs to be quite forgiving on the occasionsal hit toward the toe. No reason to fear the 3 iron, it is easy to hit. The sound of the ball off the face is soft, which I like. Overall, I rate the feel as good. In terms of control, I rate these heads good as well. I have been able to move the ball both ways with the proper swing. If you like to play a low ball into the wind, it might be a little more challenging with this head due to the higher launch it produces. That said, I have hit low punch shots under trees with these irons without much of a problem. Personally, I get my typical spin into greens off the short irons, which is not excessive. So while the shots fly in a little higher, I'm not noticing extra spin in terms of the ball flying a shorter distance, ballooning or spinning back more after landing. That seems contrary to what you would think, but that is my experience. I generally play Pro V1s, Bridgestone B330s or One Platinum to the extent that is relevant. Overall, a nice effort from Titleist. Not a club to compare against a Mizuno or Miura blade, but something that may compete with a Taylormade TP R7 or Ping i10. These irons should work for a broad band of players, from a scratch player to a mid-high teens player who strikes the ball decently.

I took mine straight from the box to the loft lie machine and found that many irons were not to the manufacturers stated specs, so be sure to check this.

All.

I'm switcing from TMade RAC LT to AP2 model for the last 4 weeks. Love the look of it but have to sacrifice a bit on distance (difference of 1 club). Boring trajectory with good accuracy. Also love the feel of it.

With the iron set, I manage to obtain at least 80% accuracy of my approach shot and now enjoy playing in the low 80s rather than the high 80s with my previous set.

Highly recommended for low to mid handicappers but not for beginners. Beginners may try the AP1 model instead.
