Titleist 712 AP1 AP2 Irons Review by Golfalot.com

The 712 version of the Titleist AP1 iron is introduced in an exclusive interview with Steve Pelisek. The new tungsten sole plate improves forgiveness within an all new clubhead. The Titleist 712 AP2 iron also has a new tungsten weighting system in the back of the head and is one of the most forgiving clubs for its size in the market as the Golfalot Equipment News review explains.

Thanks for the great review. I play to a 2.4 handicap index and have been using the Titleist DCI gold deltas for the past 20 years. They have the old TT-Lite type shafts and I hit a high ball flight. Should I mainly focus on the AP2s since they play similarly to the old DCIs or should I consider the CBs to help get a more penetrating ball flight? Thanks

@aubrey19000 Hi. I think either will be fine for you, but the AP2s will be a little more forgiving, especially in the long irons. I would recommend going a Titleist Pro/fitter to check out both models as at your level getting the right shaft is just as important and will also help control the ball flight. Let me know how you get on. Mart

im 19 and a 8 handicap and currently play nike vr pro blades, im looking at the ap2 or cbs what would you recommend?

[GolfalotTV]

@RyanRayWilliamson The CB's are probably closer to your VR Pro blades in terms of size. However both will give you the same level of performance but with more forgiveness. The AP2s are probably more suited to your current handicap level, so I would suggest going for those. If you are keen to improve and play a lot I would strongly recommend going to a Titleist fitting centre. They will be able to measure your swing and give you a recommendation based on actual performance.

Hi im 14 and play off 12 should I get the ap1s or the ap2s??

[GolfalotTV]

@ylucas96, Thanks for the question. 12 handicap at 14 is very impressive, keep it up!

Being that you are still quite young, we would suggest you try the Titleist AP1s. Similar look and feel but with more forgiveness and distance which you could benefit from at a younger age. As always, if you are able to visit a Titleist Fitting Centre, getting the right length, weight and lie can make a huge difference. No doubt you'll be a single-figure handicapper in no time!

@joanhearn2546 Hi. I think you would be better off with the AP2s for now as they will give you all the performance you need to improve your obviously good golf game to low single figures when you can consider the CBs. No need to make the game any harder :> Given your age I would strongly recommend going to a Titleist fitting centre/pro to get the right length and weight of shaft. Mars
