PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 

Titleist “AP” stands for “Advaned Performance” .The Forged AP2 are formed with a 1025 carbon steel body. Laser welded to the back and sole, a tungsten nickel box lowers the center of gravity, creating an optimal CG location low and deep in the clubhead. The lower, deeper CG results in improved launch conditions with consistent ball speed for distance control and optimal launch and spin for trajectory control. The elastomer cushion and the metallic cavity plate soften the feel at impact, tune the sound for optimal pitch, and generally make everything feel just a bit sweeter.

Titleist considers the AP2 a “dual cavity design.” The first cavity is obvious: it’s the top portion of the club, above the elastomer cushion and below the topline of the club. The second cavity is hidden by the tungsten nickel box. Both cavities push the weight to the perimeter, improving forgiveness on off-center shots.  The iron has a metal shelf that connects the back of the cavity to the clubface, right behind the impact area, and it improves the rigidity of the rather thin clubface while acting in cooperation with the elastomer cushion to reduce face vibration.

Finally, the sole itself is optimized for better players. It features a relieved trailing edge and optimized bounce that seek to achieve the delicate blend between forgiveness and playability for the better golfer.

 PROS:

Titleist AP2 offers traditional solid feel, looks, and shot control for the skilled player.

 CONS:

The sole is a bit wider than most good players are accustomed to.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Recommended for professionals since amateurs may find it difficult to adjust to the wide sole and derive maximum benefit out of this awesome iron.
