Thanks for your expert knowledge. Just about everything you said was similar to what he said. Shaft in ap2s was too heavy, loft and lie were incorrect, clubs were 1/2 " long and I had way too much spin on the ap2s. I bought them off of eBay used. Played them for 6 years, always seemed to be shorter than my golf partners.
I hit 6 different irons, including pings, TM, Calloways, and mizunos. It went down to mizunos and stealths. I felt the stealths had the most forgiveness, and he said it was a clear winner of the batch I was hitting. Better launch, better spin (less) , and subjectively, more distance. I was happy to buy them. And it's my money, not yours. I'll sell the ap2s and get some of my money back.
I'm no pro, and my thumbs were torn up by the time I got to the driver fitting. Don't care if you call me a wuss. I was also worn out. I'll do another fitting in a month or so and see if I can get any more distance on my woods with different options. Looking forward to a 7 wood or 5 wood.
I felt the difference in feel, consistency and forgiveness was worth buying the new irons. Bday present to myself.

quote:The AP2 is a players iron. Pros use them because of the spin which adds control. They don’t need any help adding distance. It sounds like you definitely needed a fitting which I agree everyone should do once they feel like they have a consistent swing.

The general point I’m making is that you were going to add distance regardless going from a players iron to a game improvement iron. That alone doesn’t mean you got the best fit. Shaft weight isn’t the only factor in a shaft either. Stiffness and kickpoint are just as important.

Doug,
Since you bought the AP's used, there's no telling, but I have little faith in Titleist sending out irons with correct lofts and lie angles especially on custom orders.
Anyway, congrats on your new sticks.

Enjoy your new clubs. I looked at the TM’s also but decided to go with the PXG’s. I’ve always been curious about getting fitted but never messed with it . I probably need to one day.
