THP Review can be found on the home page here.
http://www.thehackersparadise.com/titleist-716-ap2-irons-review/
In to THP for review are the new 716 AP2 irons from Titleist. In what has been a VERY talked about move, there is a LOT different about these irons from the previous iterations both physically and visually. Known as one of the upper tier players cavity designs on the market, the AP2's definitely have a very devout following so its been interesting to read the early feedback about the set, and to say its been mixed would not be an understatement.
THP was sent the 4i, 7i, and PW from the 716 AP2 set paired with the TT DG AMT shaft in stiff flex to spend time with.
Information From Titleist:
TITLEIST'S MOST ADVANCED PLAYERS' IRON MADE EVEN BETTER.
For golfers seeking a Tour-proven design with distance, forgiveness and feel.
Available Irons
3-W (RH/LH)
MSRP
Steel: $168/club | Graphite: $193/club
TOUR-PROVEN
Tour-proven distance comes from consistent speed. 716 AP2 irons use extreme high density tungsten weighting to position the center of gravity low and perfectly aligned at impact for more speed.
FEEL & FORGIVENESS
The most advanced, solid feeling and forgiving Tour played irons we’ve ever made. An innovative co-forged construction with high density tungsten low and on the perimeter increases moment of inertia for speed on off-center hits.

PLAYER BENEFITS
- Speed from the high density tungsten, low CG design
- Speed on off-center hits from the co-forged high density tungsten weights along the perimeter
- Precise, Tour-proven trajectory through the set from the optimized CG progression
- Fast through the turf with less dig from the slightly wider sole with trailing edge relief
- Solid forged feel
- True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT (Ascending Mass Technology) steel shaft promotes speed and launch in the long irons and control in the short irons, and features ascending weights from 112g in the 3 iron to 130g in the PW
