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 concept for the original Advanced
Performance irons arose as a result of research that indicated serious
golfers want performance with great feel, not performance at the
expense of feel. The Titleist R&D teams advanced research group
has been conducting extensive sound and vibration analysis aimed at
reducing the harsh lower frequency vibration that causes poor feel in
irons. This research led to combining several technologies and
materials in the back cavity of the new AP irons resulting in a new
Tuned Feel System to take feel to a new level.
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.
Extensive
improvements to the new AP1 structure include reducing the face
thickness to provide enhanced heel, toe, and deep weighting to the
frame and moving the tungsten nickel material to the sole resulting in
increased stability and forgiveness.
