Before they are available on market, the prototype Titleist AP1, AP2, CB and MB irons (712 Series) are being introduced on the PGA Tour this week. Six days before winning the AT&T National, Titleist Brand Ambassador Nick Watney was hard at work on the range at Aronimink Golf Club on a rainy, muggy day in Philadelphia, testing his new Prototype Titleist 712 AP2 Irons for the first time. Nick later brought the new prototype irons out on the course for further testing. The following afternoon, after playing in the Wednesday Pro-Am, Nick stopped by the Titleist Tour Van to let the team know his previous set of irons could be shipped home.
Nick was one of 19 players that had new Prototype Titleist AP1, AP2, CB or MB (712 series) irons in the bag on the first tee Thursday at Aronimink, just 54 hours after the seeding and tour validation process for the new prototype irons had begun.
Titleist 712 AP2 Irons are designed for golfers of low handicap. Titleist's vice president of golf club marketing Chris McGinley said that 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 we use in the design to make both the AP1 and AP2, in essence, more forgiving.” McGinley said. But when you are talking about the AP2 player, he's not really looking for forgiveness. For him, iron play is all about distance control. “When we can make an iron more forgiving, we're really giving the AP2 player more consistent ball speed over a larger area of the face."
