Titleist 718 Launch

[drewster]

29th September is release day of the new 718 irons. Is anyone indulging ????? I must say the AP3's look beautiful but at £150 per iron, and they're cast too, they're very expensive. Might be worth exploring costings with your friendly North East pro shop before buying from any of the major players. Just a thought..

Yes have to agree. Beautiful but expensive 😍

Courtesy of GM and Titleist I was fitted for a set of AP1's about 10 days ago, constantly looking out for the delivery driver now, waiting anxiously to try them. ne:

Wow, lucky you. Did you try the AP3's while you were there too ??? All 3 "distance" sets look great to be fair.

The lovely fitter took one look at my swing and opted for the AP1's, I cant think why he didn't let me loose on the musclebacks

All great looking clubs tho' and a massive choice of CF options. :thup::thup:

I really like the look of the AP3's but a 43 degree PW is ridiculous. Would need 2 gap wedges between that and a 56 degree sand wedge - mental!!

Get a 48 degree gap then a 54 sand job done

I've ordered the ap2. i desperately wanted to like the ap3 but the ball speeds where far too inconsistent around the face. stunning line of clubs though

No use to me at all, a sand wedge in my bag is at least 56 degrees.

Loads of good reviews about the AP range on youtube. Do like the look of the AP2 and AP3 but the lofts and cost (for cast in the AP3's) are off putting

im waiting on delivery for a combo set of CB and AP2.

Titleist have really gone through a massive upgrade this year the AP2's are ridiculously forgiving and feel almost as soft as the cbs

I suggest getting fitted with a club pro, you really shouldnt be paying 150 a club

Not really an issue, all the stronger lofts do is effectively change the number on the sole of the club. If they are that strong then I expect the 5i loft will be close to an older 3i so just add wedges instead of long irons. Bit pointless really but I guess manufacturers all want to claim to have the longest clubs.

i wouldn't let the lofts put you off. the ap3 are 2 degrees stronger than my clubs and the ap3 still launched higher.

it really isn't about the longest iron on the market. the lofts have to be strong to keep the ball down as the face is very powerful. i was very surprised how high the ap3 launched with lofts so strong

Safe to say ag won't be doing double value trade ins again any time soon so until then a iron at 150 a club wont be going in my bag lol

It is an issue for me as I said above, no probs if it isn't for you.

Trying the new range this week.......will take some beating my Srixons but they are a couple of years old and I have some money to burn. We'll see.

 

[Simbo]

So are the AP3 a high launching club?
They are very nice but very expensive though, what's the reason for them being cast? I thought most "players" irons were forged

 

[Sats]

I'd love the ap2's but if I was to change irons I'd personally go with the MP-18 MCC
