When you get down to the short irons, the 9-iron is the same loft as the T200 version and it goes about the same distance, so there could be a blending possibility here. This was the same in the rest of the longer irons, so these clubs are built for speed, but they do it in such a measured way. What didn’t stay the same was the performance, as the 2mph higher ball speed and 600 rpm lower spin gave an extra 7 yards with a 7-iron. However as you should know by now, this is all to achieve the same peak height and, as I found out when I took them on GC2, that is staying the same. The rest of the lofts are quite strong and the 4 to 8 irons are a degree stronger than the previous AP1. It is not in the shorter irons as Titleist’s testing revealed that there was little benefit above 30° in loft. The toe of the head also has a section for some dual density tungsten to be inserted in order to improve the MOI of the head and make it more forgiving. Underneath it is a polymer that was developed in conjunction with the Titleist ball team to improve the sound and feel of the club at impact, as big cavities can get noisy. The cast head now features a deep undercut cavity that looks very clean and simple in the short irons from wedge to 8-iron.įrom the 7-iron upwards things change with what looks like a power button in the back of the cavity.

The Titleist T300 iron takes this on to the next level with a cavity back iron that has been completely redesigned. You might not think of Titleist as a company that does game improvement irons, but their last few AP1 models have been amongst the best in the market.
