Titleist AP2 irons
Last updated:
RRP: £104 per club (s), £118 (s)
LOFTS 6-iron: 31, PW: 47
TECH TALK The aluminium and elastomer in the cavity help knock out the lower sound frequencies that contribute to a bad feel. The dual-cavity design pushes weight to the outside of the forged, multimaterial clubhead for stability.
PLAYER COMMENTS
L “The sound, feel, impact and workability are all state of the art. A gorgeous look, but this would be a great club without the looks. The performance is that strong.”
M “Probably the smoothest club in the category. The turf interaction is flawless.”
HOT We know you’re out there –middle-handicappers who insist on using players irons. So do yourself a favour and check out this set (the only holdover from last year’s Hot List in this category). Enough tour players use the AP2 to impress your friends, and the forgiveness features aren’t so obvious that you’re sacrificing your integrity.
NOT Speaking of integrity, should a two-year-old model still command such a price?
