i upgraded to the apt from the 708 ap1s as my game has progressed nicely over the last 3 years, and i also tried out the mc, cb (titleist) and the mizuno mp53 and 59, i found that the apt overed just enough forgiveness to allow me to try different things without being punished too much and i have found the workability satisfactory, i hit a great draw on a dog leg around a set of trees and plopped it on the front portion of the green, in fact i overcooked it a bit, and i just missed the bird
These are a bit easier to shape than R11. The r11 has a much larger cavity than the MC iron giving the player more forgeiveness on misshits with the drawback of losing a bit of feel. In my opinion the best iron TM makes is the tour prefered CB iron which has the cavity of a R11 iron but the forged face of a blade giving it better workability
Alright buddy Ive been watchingbyour vids for a year now and A) you have a great swing B) youre very helpful C) you seem like you would be a great instructor....too bad Im in California.......I started playing golf 2 1/2 yrs ago roughly and pkayed at about a 40 handicap....ha ha.....at about a year ago by simply watching how smooth and seemingly slow you swing the club helped me realize I dont have to kill the ball to get great distance. That small revelation helped me get doen to a 21 handicap.
Got fitted for clubs the other day using Trackman. Came down to these two iron sets. Both felt great. I liked the look of the Titleist better, but I got better numbers with the MCs in terms of spin and launch. I ended up getting the MCs with the S300 shafts. Different individuals get different results. I recommend you get fit for clubs, but not on those indoor hitting bays. The data isn't anywhere near as accurate or complete as going and hitting outside on a real range with Trackman.
had the ap2s but was getting the ball way too high compared to all the other clubs ive used,nice club but just couldnt keep the ball down with them and playing in iceland in the wind they just wasnt the club for me so i ended up going back to my snake eyes for now and put some rifle 5.0 shafts in them which ended up in two 74 rounds for me this year for a 9 handicapper so im pleased with that change of shaft alone tbh
what is the smash factor for the MC, i hit both the burner 2 and Mc today. i was suprised at the distance i was getting. i thk theyre really jacked up i hit 170 m w the Mc and Burner 6iron
@swirlsmajano if you're a 20 handicapper i think the ap1's or something more forgiving, would help :) but if u want one of these, i'll say the ap2's :)
These 2 are currently the irons I desire, but just can not decide. I'm a fan taylormade, but I am liking the AP2 710s.. Both are the same price, but unable to actually hit them. Handicap is 13-15 (haven't played in a while), looking to get into singles. Any advice about these 2?
hey mark, im trying to decide between these two irons. Im currently a 12 handicap and am looking to improve my game. Ive hit both and I hit them both about the same. Feel like I have more mishits with the ap2's though. Let me know what you think thanks.
hi mark, great review, i play mx300's at the moment was looking at the mp53 as a replacement but found no big gains over my 300's, try'd the ap2's and found more distance but retained workability..was almost ready to do a deal when i try'd one other set of clubs..i have never seen you review any of there products at all..so can you please?..as i respect your opinion. the set was john letters masters model..blew me away..shaped it for fun, and the feel..buying on hold..so would love an opinion
I've owned both these clubs and I must say they are a lot alike except for the feel. The taylormade MC's don't have the harsh feel on miss hits that the ap2's do. Waiting to see what's coming out new for the ap2's this year!
This is a great review of two great clubs leading the market right now. I wanna thank you for posting this video because these are the two irons I'm looking at. I'm looking to replace my Titleist 690 MB's with something pre-new. Ive looked at the R7 TP, R9 TP, and a couple others because of the price. $899 is out of my price range but im looking for something that will help me shoot low to mid 70's. Im already high 70's low 80's and wanna take that next step. If you can help that would be great.
I just purchased the ap2s after previously using the mizuno mp32s (i have moved to Norway and with a 6 month season i feel a bit of forgiveness isn't damaging my ego) and i have to say they feel great. they do launch very high and play very long, but after a custom fitting you can soon iron out the creases. I haven't played the taylormades but i will say that the ap2s certainly give you a nice feeling iron and a fair amount of workabilty.
hey mark love your videos, I watch them all, I'm a 6 handicap and 13 years old, I'm getting some new irons. I love the titleist ap2's and the titleist cb's. Can you do a direct comparison for me? I love everything about the ap2 except I'm a little worried that the short irons will launch a little high. What do you think?
i have the a first year ap2's i love them except they go way to high for some irons. you can work the ball great. but when i do find my self i need to punch out it is very hard to keep the ball low enough. i do love them a lot
I love the look of the MC. Can you tell me what the difference is between the MC and the CB from taylormade. Is there any irons like the MC that dont cost as much money.
great review mark i play the ap2 and they are better then the mc in my opinion i feel like you get better feedback when you misshit them i can feel them make a click sound so ap2 wins
