Review On Titleist 712 AP2 Irons

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.

Nick Watney and Titleist 712 AP2

This year, the AT&T National Cham­pion Nick Watney got the new Titleist 712 off to a good start when he used the 712 AP2 Irons (3-P) to win the AT&T National. The for­mer Fresno State star also used a Titleist Pro V1x golf ball, Titleist 910D3 (10.5) dri­ver,910F (15) fair­way metal, 910H (21) hybrid, Vokey Design sand (54) and lob (60) wedges and Scotty Cameron New­port Fast­back putter.

The Acush­net Com­pany (Titleist, FootJoy) began seed­ing the 712 irons at the AT&T National. A total of 19 play­ers put the pro­to­type irons (AP1, AP2, MB, CB) in play. The Titleist brand led the iron count at the AT&T National with a total of 40 sets in play.

Watney's pro­to­type AP2 irons(3-P) were stan­dard length and one degree upright through­out; two degrees weak in the 3, 4, 5, P and one degree weak in the 6, 7, 8, 9.  Accord­ing to Acush­net, Wat­ney decided to put the new irons in the bag after prac­tic­ing with them for the first time dur­ing the Wednes­day pro-am round.
