The new Titleist 712 AP2 Irons which aim at low handicappers have a pretty decent look. They deliver an industry leading combination of performance, looks and feel to improve your skills to the next level.
Background Information
Titleist has always been about tradition and seem to always be going after the better player. Titleist has long used "700'' numbers for irons for a long time. It uses 900 numbers for metal woods. The "7" stands for irons, while the "12" stands for the new model year, 2012.
Design and Technology
They feature Titleist's most advanced multi-material designs which deliver superior distance control through increased moment-of-inertia (MOI) which also provides outstanding solid feel. In addition we have made appearance improvements to both sets. The New Titleist 712 AP2 Irons are more forgiving and more disctance control.It gives the AP2 player more consistent ball speed over a larger area of the face.
The Targeting Group
The new irons, which are designed for low handicappers, Titleist has significantly increased the club's moment of inertia (MOI) by re-positioning tungsten weight within the heads.The overall goal was to better apply the different materials used in the design.
