No.2 - Titleist AP2 714 iron

Titleist AP2 714 iron
Titleist AP2 714 - which I was custom fit for at the official AP 714 launch at Royal Lytham & St Annes this summer - are the most impressive better player irons I’ve tested in my young golf career-to-date.
For some reason or another, I've always held the belief as a high single-figure capper that Titleist AP2 irons are just that little bit too good for me. How wrong I could be. The new AP2 714s are as forgiving as the original AP1.
Forgiveness is particularly apparent in the AP2 714 long irons. In fact, far more forgiving than I initially thought they’d be for a club with better-player appeal and as used so impressively by Titleist staffer Jason Dufner to win the 2013 PGA Championship.
The long irons are making a tremendous difference to my game right now, albeit thanks to a 2-degree upright tweak in lie angle.
Yes these irons are at the top end of the market but if you’re after improved flight, forgiveness and feel, particularly with your 4-, 5- and 6-iron, look no further than the AP2 714 for the new season.
