When to Purchase Titleist Clubs ?

[SugarPenguin]

Hi All,
In a bit of a club dilemma at the moment and want peoples advice.
I am wanting to buy some Titleist AP2 714 Irons. I was originally going to wait for the 716’s but I am not keen on how they look.

My question is basically what would be the best time to purchase them? I’m assuming the price will come down slightly after the 716’s get released? However if the price only decreases by £50 - £80 then I would buy them now since there’s still a good few months of golf left in the year (including an October trip to The Belfry!)

Additionally if anybody can find a set for a good price from a respected retailer then let me know.

Thanks crew.

Er....Why pick the AP2s?

The Combos you currently have are great clubs - whether they are the 3 style or 2 style ones!

While you might get AP2 cheaper at the moment it will most likely be end of stock and you may not get to custom fit them. You will be able to find out if they have stopped manufacturing them. Just ask any Titleist stockiest.

For example I know that Mizuno have stopped making the MP 54 so they should be cheap but Mizuno will not put them together for you, you will have to buy stock.

My clubs are OK. Iv got the the CB version and my ball flight is just uncontrollably high and my distance isn't that fantastic with them because of this. I only paid £320 for them so just wanting an upgrade.

Right thats pretty interesting - thanks.

I wanted the 913d3, I waited until the 915 come through and saved around £200 by waiting.

Where was your purchase from?

A little different with drivers/woods as Titleist have 3 or 4 stock shaft options with woods where as with irons it will be (guessing) just DG R300 and S300. However if you require the stock shaft options for the 714s then fill your boots and find someone with a set sat on their rack. Hope it helps.

 

[Alex1975]

Yep, Stock shaft is TT DG R300 and S300

 

[SugarPenguin]

ye the S300 is what I have now so would be going for that - cant justify project X shafts !
thanks for your help. Any recommended stockist that you use? Problem with my Golf club is that its where the Ping factory is based....

Google mate, I picked up a 913d3 with stiff phenom which was a common shaft for under £150. There will always be a shop with a set left they want to turn into cash!

Your literally looking for the cheapest place who has stock. Could be AG, could be some random club shop that has stock.

Make sure as you price check people that you compare the same number of irons as people like to hid that its 5-pw for £x when trying to get your attention.

The only look for me is how they look at address position. If they perform OK then how they look when parked upside down in the bag doesn't really matter.

 

[SugarPenguin]

thats true however they wil cost near to £900 i reckon.

That link looks anything but legit, no actual address for premises and contact email looks suspicious as its just an @gmail.com address.

I wouldnt encourage anyone to buy anything from that particular site.

Yep, Stock shaft is TT DG R300 and S300

Eh that's a wee bit not true, I got the xp95 s300 shafts in my AP2's after being fitted. Titleist have 3/4 different shafts as stock at no extra cost.

 

[BoadieBroadus]

yes that site looks incredibly suspect. i'm not sure if the "seems legit" & smiley is sarcasm.

Eh thats is a weeee but 100% correct according to the Titleist web site... I would think the likes of AG do not buy too many diverse shaft options for their off the rack sales.... But totally whatever.... I was just trying to be helpful.

It was a poor attempt at Sarcasm. I tried. Sometimes I forget how hard it is to portray over the interwebz

I got it, the smiley kinda said a lot. Could have gone with... "Seems reeeeeeealy legit.... "
