With each iteration that comes to market, Titleist is creating new ways to explore performance while staying with in their boundaries of iron style. The Titleist 718 lineup consists of a larger than ever family of irons each designed for a specific golfer. Hitting stores towards the end of September, the company will begin rolling out fitting carts for their Titleist Thursday fitting events that will take place in the next few weeks at green grass facilities all over the country.
The breakdown of irons is better left for the THP TV videos featured below, but here is a look at the full lineup.

Steel: MAP $125 per club ($999/set of 8)
Graphite: MAP $140 per club ($1,199/set of 8)

Kicking things off are the most popular sets from Titleist and that is the AP Family of Irons, complete with new addition in the AP3. THP TV sat down with Josh Talge, VP of Marketing for Titleist Golf Clubs at TPI in Oceanside, CA for a complete rundown of the entire group.

Next up are what we call the heritage part of the new 718 lineup, and those are the CB and MB lineup. Here Josh Talge breaks down a couple of irons that do not change much from iteration to iteration, but are what their user base is looking.

Finally, in the first video the new AP3 irons are previewed, but them being a brand new part of the family means THPers deserve more information and Titleist was happy to sit down and continue to talk about this new creation inspired by both tour players and amateur golfers.

Shafts
From the company
718’s high-performance stock shaft matrix includes all-new premium aftermarket options, including three new True Temper AMT shafts with tour-proven ascending mass technology. The new AMT Red (AP1), AMT Black (AP3) and AMT Tour White (AP2) models provide lighter long iron shafts for increased launch and speed and heavier short iron shafts for control in specific weight ranges matched to the target players for AP1, AP3 and AP2. “We were the first to use an Ascending Mass Technology shaft with 716 AP2 and our robot testing, player testing and tour feedback has been outstanding,” Talge said. The new Mitsubishi Tensei Pro Red AMC (Ascending Mass Concept) graphite shaft with ascending mass technology is also available as a stock option for AP1.
True Temper Project X PXi (T-MB), Project X LZ (CB) and Project X (MB) round out 718’s premium stock options. In addition, Titleist offers an industry-leading number of custom shaft choices, many at no upcharge.

Josh did a great job in the first video of explaining the differences between the AP1, AP2 and AP3. Chuckled a little when he mentioned that the AP2 has more forgiveness in this iteration, but “you still have to bring your own speed”. Haha. The AP1 is definitely more appropriate for my game, but the Chocolate and Peanut Butter of AP3 does sound appealing.
Damn those AP3’s look good and are right up my alley, great job on the video discussing the build and what has gone into the design.
I really enjoyed these videos. The whole line looks amazing and the AP3’s really have my attention
Fantastic breakdown by Josh and Dean in this video. Combo set approved! Love it. Would love to have a crack at a AP2/3 combo set! Great looking clubs and loved the tech breakdown of each iron.
Great content! I really like the direction Titleist is going and Talge is great for them!!!
Solid, solid info on the AP family. If the clubs the way they were described, titleist is in for a solid year. Really like the direction they went with each of clubs in the family.
Love the breakdown of all the irons and the designs! Great info and can’t wait for more on the event coming up.
Really informative videos. I love what I’m hearing about the AP3.
Sounds like they will have a winner with AP3s.
Three great videos and some awesome information on each line. Pricing seems fair and I like how Titleist describes the understanding of why the AP3 line is important to grab that golfer they might have been missing out on previously.
Great job with the questions and comments Dean! I thought Josh did a great job of explaining the features and differences of all models in a very easy to understand manner. The AP3 irons are definitely of high interest to me.
Common sense tells me the AP3 are right up my alley but the CBs sure are a handsome club. Looking forward to giving each one a try or three.
“Technical Marvel” love that description. Great line up from Titleist as you can expect, loving the AP3 especially, this might be right up alley in forgiving performance irons to try.
Holy offerings batman! 6 new offerings of irons? Wow, that should fit every segment of the golfers.
I had no idea that the AP2 is most popular on Tour.
I am most curious about the AP3, but a blended AP3 AP2 set seems like it might be right up my #internetgolfer alley
#TitleistThursdayFTW Glad they’ll have them in fitting carts in September too.
Three great videos THP and Dean packed with information.
I’m in !!!!!!!
