By: shoppinginjoy Golf Magazine tested: 3-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft Company line: “The AP2 is a multi-material, dual-cavity design aimed at serious golfers who want greatly enhanced feel with Tour-like performance. (Titleist AP1 710 Irons)Extensive analysis of sound and vibration enable us to take the quality of impact feel to a new level. A 55-gram tungsten-nickel sole weight further enhances feel and forgiveness.” Our Testers say: PROS: Among the top performers in the group; scores very high for forgiveness and accuracy; long irons are easy to hit and provide a surprisingly high trajectory; pleasing shape and look are a big plus; average to above-average distance throughout the set; a number of panelists said they’d like to buy it. CONS: Some testers find it difficult to determine for certain that this version is significantly better than the previous AP2; acceptable impact feel, just not as rewarding as traditional forgings. From Sports Illustrated Golf+ Equipment Issue (February 8, 2010) Building on the high-tech design and success of the original AP (Advanced Performance) The concept for the original AP irons came from research showing that serious golfers want performance but not at the expense of feel. The Titleist research and development team has been conducting extensive sound and vibration analysis aimed at reducing the harsh lower-frequency vibration that causes poor feel in irons. This research led to combining several technologies and materials in the back cavity of the AP irons, resulting in a Tuned Feel System that enhances feel. “The AP1 and AP2 irons retain the dual-cavity design and multimaterial construction that is the key to their advanced performance,” The Tuned Feel System is a comolded medallion of soft elastomer and an aluminum plate. This insert has been designed to improve sound and feel. For the thinner-face, larger-cavity AP1, a more lively feel has been created. For the AP2 a softer, more solid feel is achieved.

Updates include the aluminum badge backed by soft elastomer in the cavity (which elicits a soft yet solid feel). A 55-gram tungsten-nickel sole weight further enhances feel and forgiveness. Short irons (7-iron to PW) have less bounce on the back edge of the sole, for crisper contact. Stock shaft is Dynamic Gold (original AP2 had Project X). # # # Www.shoppinginjoy.com was evolved from retail sales store in seek of further development.
