Titleist AP1 irons

A good-looking iron, the AP1 proved to be more widely playable than virtually any previous Titleist iron model. We think golfers right up to a handicap of 20 could use these quite effectively.
Why you can trust Golf Monthly

Key features of the AP1 inlcude a dual cavity, multi-material design that optimises weight distribution for feel and forgiveness. There's an elastomer cushion to dampen vibrations, while sole width, bounce and camber all promise maximum versatility and performance. Shorter hosels in the long irons allow a better weight distribution for easier launch potential.
