Titleist 716 AP2 Irons Review

Tech:

Our most advanced players iron ever say Titleist. A co-forged construction delivers tour proven performance, with high-density tungsten weighting on the toe and heel aligning the CG perfectly with the centre of the face for maximum ball speed and MOI performance.

Our verdict:

Titleist are keen to not pigeon hole their irons into player categories, instead they insist they prefer to fit the iron to the player rather than vice versa. With a loft of 34deg the AP2 is almost a club weaker than some on test so it was never going to challenge on pure distance, but it more than made up for it with forgiveness and playability thanks to the extreme tungsten toe and heel weighting. TG Editor Chris Jones posted some seriously consistent numbers with the AP2. Just 2mph drop off in ball speed and only 5 yards of carry distance between centre and off centre hits means they’d deliver very consistent and accurate performance on the golf course.    

Bottom line:

A lovely looking iron that’s played by the world number one. We reckon they’re for reasonable ball strikers, if that’s you then the 57g of tungsten weighting really improves MOI for consistent shot making.
