Titleist 716 AP1 irons Look Feel ClubTest 2017

Attractive, athletic build conveys control; thicker topline doesn't obscure the AP1's clean setup, which tucks in nicely behind the ball; there's plenty of help built in, but you might not notice it standing over the ball.

Leaves testers asking the same question: Are you sure these aren't forged?" Wellnobut they feel pretty darn close-specific feedback and sweetsolid thwack sends the ball on its way; moderate weighting helps the head glide smoothly through impact."

The 716 AP1 is a smooth-handling iron that really takes flight in the hands of a more skilled, creative pilot; fairly repeatable, and thin shots get all the help they need; stronger ballstrikers looking to scare more flagsticks find a willing partner.
