Building upon the high technology design and resounding success of the original AP irons, Titleist introduces the new high performance AP1 irons for avid golfers. The Titleist AP1 are multi-material, dual cavity irons that take the design mission of "Advanced Performance You Can Feel" to new heights.
The AP1's high-tech multi-material construction features a steel body, tungsten nickel sole, elastomer bar and aluminum cavity plate. These materials combine to deliver both performance and feel. The dual cavity design of the Titleist AP1 irons pushes weight to the perimeter for forgiveness. A central cross member featuring a soft elastomer cushion provides structural rigidity behind the impact area while also dampening face vibration for better overall feel. The lower cavity of the Titleist AP1 iron is enclosed by a tungsten nickel box. This high density material places the center of gravity (CG) low and deep for performance, while also providing low frequency vibration dampening for outstanding solid feel.
Titleist AP1 irons offer a contemporary, confidence-inspiring appearance in the set up position with a traditional profile shape, soft blends, modern proportions and semi-under slung hosel. The attractive metallic back cavity plate with multiple elevation graphics, textures and color contributes to the AP1's great looks and bag appeal.
Features:
- Advanced performance, multi-material, dual cavity, technical cast irons
- Provide look, feel, shot control and higher flight with forgiveness
- Targeted at the skilled golfer (handicap 5-9) with enough performance to easily reach the aspiring serious golfer (10-15)
The new Tuned Feel System is a co-molded medallion of soft elastomer and aluminum plate. This insert has been specifically designed to improve the sound and feel of each new iron. For the thinner face, larger cavity AP1 a hotter, more lively feel has been enhanced.

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
