Looking to upgrade from Ping i15s. What are your initial impressions?

I think the SCs are more like the Ap2s/CBs

They're not very comparable. The MP-18, while still a "split cavity" doesn't offer that much more forgiveness than the blade. But it's forged and very soft and is a beautiful club. The AP3 is cast. It's much bigger. And I don't like the looks. It's an odd offering, imo. With the 5 irons from titleist, I'm not sure where a 6th one fits in.

As others have said, they aren't really comparable at all. If you want something comparable to the i15 lofts, but forged and with some forgiveness, check out the JPX900 Forged.

If you're within a reasonable distance of a PGA Superstore or something, or a big demo day, you should just go hit whatever you can and decide from that.

Between 1 and 2.

Look at doing a combo set of either the mizunos, titleists, or better yet srixons

3 is an odd number.

But it's 3. Even more odd.

1 + 2 = 3? the combination of both sets?

That seems to be what the titleist apologists are claiming.

But seriously, other than simply being a "new club" from Titleist, they're pretty pointless. It's the AP1 with a thinner topline at the AP2 price.

I agree, it's a very confusing club to me. Id just assume make a combo set out the AP1 / AP2 and get max benefits of both. I don't get it.

Where did the AP3 touch you?

Seriously, though, you have a bizarre take on this.

Update. Hit all mizuno today and the AP3s. Really liked the Ap3s. Very long but good feel. Low spin (possibly a bit two low), but felt great .

Get the right shaft and they will be golden, looking forward to hitting the AP3 and TM 790's, if only TM didn't come out with new sticks every 6 months

Yeah looking at a shaft with a little lower kickpoint. Somewhat weird numbers. Swing speed in low 90s. Ball speed in 120s to 130s with 7 iron. Spin around 4500.

Didn't you just get new sticks?
