The updated Titleist AP2 iron

Looks: This upgraded version of the original Titleist AP2 iron arrives in mid- November and has a multi-compound head construction. The club's looks are similar to the Titleist CB, except for a tungsten nickel sole and co-moulded elastomer/aluminium cavity plate.

Feel/performance: In the past manufacturers, have struggled to make clubs with heavier tungsten nickel in the clubhead - apart from using moveable weights - but Titleist have managed it with multi-materials and the results are dramatic. I could feel the weight at the bottom of the head sending the ball into a much higher trajectory than other heads. These irons really do make a difference for those looking for higher launch! I'm convinced everyone looking for a higher ball flight will see it and feel it immediately.
