2012-01-22In only the third event of the PGA Tour season, Mark Wilson gave the i20 driver and irons their first wins. His two-shot victory at the Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Calif., was his fifth Tour title. He finished at 24 under (66-62-67-69).Wilson had two early wins to begin last season, so it wasn鈥檛 surprising to see the PING Pro leading after three rounds.  But his final round started slowly. He was 1-over through 10 holes, waiting for the kind of birdie run that propelled him to a 62 on the same Palmer Course two days earlier (there are three courses in the tournament rotation). When he birdied the 11th, then made another from the greenside bunker on the 12th, he had his momentum. With birdies on 16 and the home hole, he played the final eight holes in four under. Wilson earned $1,008,000 and is second on the FedExCup points list. He credits his fast start the past two seasons to the breaks he has taken during November and December. 鈥淚 can clear my mind of golf. I tend to remember the good things I did before and when I came out the last two years I just had a clear mind. It feels good to win.鈥?Wilson鈥檚 PING equipment includes an i20 driver (8.5潞), i15 hybrids (17潞 and 20潞), i20 irons 4-PW, Tour wedges (52潞 and 60潞), and a Karsten Anser putter.PING Pro Jeff Maggert made a final-round charge with an 8-under 64 to finish fifth at 21 under. Posted: February 26, 2013                            FAIRHAVEN, Mass.&ndash; Craftsmanship, performance and validation by the game&rsquo;s best players provide the foundation for Master Craftsman Scotty Cameron&rsquo;s newest creations, the Select GoLo 5 and GoLo S5 putters.Available March 1, the racy mallet-style Select GoLo 5 and GoLo S5 are the newest additions to the Scotty Cameron by Titleist Select line of putters, epitomizing Cameron&rsquo;s commitment to working with the best players in the world and incorporating their feedback into his designs. Since 1997 and counting, more players on the PGA Tour have trusted Scotty Cameron Fine Milled putters than any other putter.Scotty Cameron Select GoLo 5 and GoLo S5 putters have a compact, elegantly rounded profile with a racy soleplate and Select Weighting technology for modern balance and stability.The head design is about 10 percent smaller than the popular Select GoLo and GoLo S models, a result of Cameron&rsquo;s research and testing with players on the worldwide professional tours and in his Putter Studio in California. The slightly asymmetric back profile with a pulled in heel and the contained cavity sight lines encourage a flowing stroke along the ideal arc.Two neck configurations &ndash; GoLo 5 with a single bend shaft and GoLo S5 with a straight, near center shaft &ndash; provide options for appearance and dynamic feel, and toe flow.&ldquo;Working with the best players in the world gives me incredible feedback,&rdquo; Cameron said. &ldquo;The GoLo 5 and S5 are the results of that feedback for a slightly smaller head, but with the look, feel and performance of the incredibly popular GoLo. For many players the compact setup instills the confidence and control to make a flowing stroke, and hole more putts.&rdquo;Like each model in the Select putter family, GoLo 5 and GoLo S5 have a deep milled face that contributes to a softer feel and sound. Each Select putter also features a tour-validatedBlack Mist finish for a rich, dark, glare-free look. Race-car inspired cherry dot graphics in the back and cherry dot weights in the sole help create a modern but timeless look.The Select family now features five modern blade models (Newport, Newport 1.5, Newport 2, Notchback, Newport 2.6), four mallets (GoLo, GoLo S, GoLo5, GoLo S5), three mid lengths (Newport 2 Mid, GoLo Mid, GoLo S Mid), and two long options (Big Sur, Big Sur S).PRODUCT FEATURES:Refined Design: Precisely engineered surfaces and edges with elegant lines and blends.

(Sept. 3, 2013) &ndash; The new Titleist CB and MB irons, high performance, tour-proven forged blade irons, provide maximum shot control with improved address profiles and enhanced feel through the turf.Available in golf shops worldwide beginning Nov. 8, the new CB and MB (714 Series) irons maintain the core design fundamentals that have resonated with highly skilled, traditional blade irons players since their initial launch in 2009, delivering advanced shot and trajectory control with classic solid feel and contemporary looks. The Titleist Golf Clubs R&amp;D team has made improvements to the sole, leading edge and hosel of the new models for smoother ground interaction and a more confident visual at address.&ldquo;When we ask tour players what we can do to improve the CB or MB irons, their immediate reaction is always the same: Don&rsquo;t do anything. It&rsquo;s a welcomed challenge for our R&amp;D team,&rdquo; said Steve Pelisek, General Manager, Titleist Golf Clubs. &ldquo;Through advanced computer modeling and extensive player testing we&rsquo;ve been able to really fine tune these new designs and provide more performance. The new CB and MB models allow players to work the ball high and low and left and right with a solid blade feel, and now they look better at address and perform even better through the turf.&rdquo;Forged from 1025 carbon steel, the new Titleist CB and MB irons feature tour-preferred constant blade lengths with minimal progressive offset for maximum workability. Compact shapes with precise CG locations and traditional tour lofts deliver the proven flight, feel and shot-making confidence that have made CB and MB the choice of many of the world&rsquo;s best players.The new CB irons feature an optimized shallow cavity-back design with an inner cavity muscle behind the impact area for solid blade iron feel. MB is a classic muscle back forged iron, delivering great feel from muscle back weighting positioned behind the sweet spot.The sole design of both CB and MB features a smooth width progression as you move through the set to enhance ground interaction. The slightly wider CB sole now features increased front-to-back camber for better turf release and playability from a variety of attack angles.&ldquo;The feel of an iron isn&rsquo;t just about the feel at impact. An often overlooked component is how the iron feels after impact, going in and out of the turf,&rdquo; said Dan Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D. &ldquo;For most tour players the ball has already left the face by the time the club enters the turf. But how the club goes through the turf can significantly affect what the player feels. One of our main goals with the new CB and MB irons was to make that turf feel smoother and easier.&rdquo;The new CB and MB models have an improved address profile with a slightly straighter leading edge that promotes a square setup and a new hosel-to-leading edge blend that creates less visual offset.&ldquo;The type of player that plays CB or MB does not want to see any offset,&rdquo; said Marni Ines, Director of Titleist Irons Development. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been able to reduce the appearance of that offset in the new models by better blending that transition from the hosel to the clubface.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve really taken our designs to a new level using CAD technology, by creating formulas that drive the shapes and proportions we want to achieve. As a result, we have more consistent shapes and more consistent performance through each set.&rdquo;The profile in the CB #8, #9 and P irons has also been modified by reducing the PAR (heel) height for a more compact shape.CB and MB feature a Tour-preferred satin finish that reduces glare and accentuates the toe and topline profile for easier alignment of the face and confidence at address.ON TOUR: More than 75 players across the worldwide professional tours have already added new CB and MB irons to their bags, including Tim Clark (CB), Geoff Ogilvy (MB) and Graham DeLaet, who played a mixed set of CB and MB irons in registering top-3 finishes at The Barclays (T-2) and Deutsche Bank Championship (3rd).Gregory Bourdy put a mixed set of the new CB and MB irons in play for the first time at the European Tour&rsquo;s Wales Open, where he birdied his final three holes to win by two shots. John Riegger, playing the new MB irons, birdied three of his final four holes, to win the Champions Tour&rsquo;s Boeing Classic.&ldquo;The new irons are fantastic, it just has that kind of classic look to them, you put them down and you feel like you know you&rsquo;re going to hit them straight,&rdquo; said John Merrick, who finished T-6 at the Canadian Open, the first week he put the new MB irons in play. &ldquo;They go through the turf excellent.&rdquo;&ldquo;They look great,&rdquo; said Ben Kohles, who put the new CB irons in the bag the first week they were available at AT&amp;T National. &ldquo;They have a little bit of a different sole to them, very slight, but you can tell that through impact is a little bit more forgiving.&rdquo;Other players that have put the new CB models in play include: Greg Chalmers, D.H. Lee, Brett Rumford, Anders Hansen, Brooks Koepka and Tom Gillis. Those also playing the new MB models include: Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Marc Leishman, Bud Cauley, Soren Hansen, Jimmy Walker and D.J. Trahan.PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: The new Titleist CB and MB irons will be available in golf shops worldwide beginning Nov. 8.

(January 21, 2014) &ndash; New Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 5 wedges deliver more spin and more types of shots, providing golfers with more ways to hit it close and shoot lower scores.Vokey Spin Milled 5 (SM5) wedges are the best performing wedges in the game, a result of Master Craftsman Bob Vokey&rsquo;s decades of research and collaborating with the world&rsquo;s best players, such as Adam Scott, Steve Stricker and Jason Dufner. Since 2004, Vokey Design wedges have been the #1 wedge on the PGA Tour and the most played wedge at every level of competitive golf.Precisely designed and manufactured using proprietary Spin Milled technology, Vokey SM5 wedges provide a distinct performance advantage through new, deeper TX3 grooves, tour-driven shapes and the industry&rsquo;s most extensive range of bounce and grind options.New TX3 grooves, with seven percent larger groove volume and two performance configurations, deliver maximum spin by channeling away grass and sand for improved contact between the ball and groove edge. Spin Milled technology also provides trajectory and distance control through precisely milled grooves and machined face texture. Every SM5 wedge is milled to the tightest tolerance in the industry, with each groove individually cut to the maximum dimensions allowed by the Rules of Golf and 100-percent inspected. A localized, high frequency face treatment provides increased groove durability for longer spin retention over the life of the wedge.For years, Vokey and his team of craftsmen, including Vokey Tour representative Aaron Dill, have utilized tour player input and feedback to produce the largest and most effective range of bounce and sole grind options in the game. Vokey SM5 wedges are available in 21 different loft/bounce/grind combinations and six tour-inspired sole grinds, appropriately slotted into low, mid and high bounce categories to fit all swing types, shot-making styles and short game conditions.&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always said I have the best R&amp;D facility in the world &ndash; the PGA Tour,&rdquo; Vokey said. &ldquo;I worked closely with our team of craftsmen and engineers to apply everything I&rsquo;ve learned from the best players in the world to Spin Milled 5. We&rsquo;ve increased the spin. We&rsquo;ve given players more control. And we&rsquo;ve got a bounce and grind matrix that will provide the versatility and confidence to hit a variety shots around the green and get up and down more.&rdquo;Available in golf shops beginning March 14, SM5 wedges feature a more compact and balanced profile with three new finish options &shy;&ndash; Tour Chrome, Gold Nickel and Raw Black. Each wedge has new, clean graphics, with the grind designation (i.e., &ldquo;S Grind&rdquo;) called out on the club, and increased space for five-character personalized stamping. Vokey&rsquo;s popular personalization and custom options have also been expanded.MORE SPIN THROUGH NEW TX3 GROOVES: New Spin Milled TX3 grooves, the third generation of Vokey&rsquo;s tour extreme scoreline, produce maximum spin for improved trajectory and distance control. TX3 scorelines &ndash; with two different performance configurations &ndash; feature 17 precise, individually cut and 100-percent inspected grooves that continue to push the conforming limits of effective edge radius for increased backspin.TX3 grooves in the 46&ordm; to 54&ordm; lofts are deeper and narrower than the previous generation Vokey SM4 grooves. With seven percent larger volume, each groove better channels away grass, sand and debris for cleaner ball to edge radius contact and increased spin. The narrower geometry delivers precision distance and trajectory control, significantly reducing the chance of &ldquo;flyers&rdquo; from the rough.&ldquo;We received a lot of feedback from tour players regarding &lsquo;flyers.&rsquo; They don&rsquo;t want them,&rdquo; said Dill, who works on the Titleist Tour Van, building and grinding wedges for PGA Tour players. &ldquo;On tour these guys have to aim to a lot of small targets. They need to trust that their golf ball will travel the exact distance they need it to, even from a tough lie in the rough. The deep and narrow TX3 groove helps push the grass down better, which gives you that increased edge radius contact for more spin and consistent distance.&rdquo;TX3 grooves in the 56&ordm; to 62&ordm; lofts take advantage of the highly precise Spin Milled process. They maintain the same width as the prior generation but are deeper, with seven percent larger volume, for more spin and control around the greens.  Most players will experience up to 500 rpm of additional spin on full shots from the rough with the lower-lofted SM5 wedges, and up to 400 rpm in the higher lofts, compared to previous generation SM4 wedges. Both configurations provide the same spin performance from the fairway and shorter grass.&ldquo;These two groove geometries delivered the best performance,&rdquo; Vokey said. &ldquo;The groove configuration changes with the 56&ordm; model because this is where testing showed that the player makes a more oblique impact versus a more direct impact in the lower lofts. The wider TX3 groove on the higher lofts will sheer away the grass, rather than pushing it into the groove, and perform better on partial shots.&rdquo;SPIN MILLED PROCESS: Every Spin Milled 5 wedge is made of 8620 carbon steel and manufactured with industry-leading, proprietary Spin Milled technology. The process begins with a double fly cut face that provides the perfect preparation for texture and grooves. The face surface is precisely machined with a series of milled micro edges to the maximum conforming surface roughness, creating higher face friction for more consistent spin on partial shots. TX3 grooves are CNC milled for precision to the maximum dimensions allowed by the Rules of Golf, resulting in maximum spin for trajectory and distance control. Each groove is individually cut at a slower speed for improved tolerances on both groove size and edge radius. Every SM5 wedge also undergoes a unique localized face heat treatment that significantly increases the durability of the wedge&rsquo;s groove edge radius, substantially impeding the loss of spin due to wear with no difference in feel.100% GROOVE INSPECTION: Prior to the launch of the Vokey SM4 wedges, Titleist made a significant investment in technology that establishes 100-percent inspection of every groove on every Vokey wedge that is produced. This allows Titleist to manufacture wedges to tighter tolerances than the rest of the industry. Each new TX3 groove is evaluated using computer-guided plotting technology in which a digital stylus is piloted to trace the contours of each groove. Three-dimensional coordinates are recorded and plotted as the stylus moves, compiling data that can be translated into measurements of the groove&rsquo;s total volume and edge radius. This enables the manufacturing team to machine the grooves right up against the edge of the maximum allowable 0.011-inch radius specification, providing players the highest possible spin and trajectory control without fear of non-compliance.MORE TYPES OF SHOTS: With more bounce and sole grind options, as part of an industry-leading model matrix, Vokey SM5 wedges provide the versatility for improved shotmaking, giving players the confidence to execute more shots around the green.Spin Milled 5 wedges are available in lofts of 46&ordm; to 62&ordm; (in two degree increments) and six tour-inspired sole grinds (L, T, S, M, F and K), with each model properly sorted into low, mid and high bounce categories. The result is the game&rsquo;s most extensive and effective selection of bounce and grind options, made up of 21 different loft/bounce/grind combinations to satisfy all swing types, shot-making styles and turf conditions.&ldquo;With wedges, it&rsquo;s never one size fits all,&rdquo; Vokey said. &ldquo;Wedges are required to hit many different types of shots. And every player has a different technique, a different style. That&rsquo;s why we have so many options. It&rsquo;s important that players see an authorized Titleist fitter to get fit for their SM5 wedges, so they know they&rsquo;re playing a setup that fits their game.&rdquo;Two of Vokey&rsquo;s most popular grinds &ndash;S and M &ndash; are now available in 54&ordm;, 56&ordm;, 58&ordm; and 60&ordm; lofts. There are also four bounce and grind choices in the 58&ordm; and 60&ordm; lofts, including the addition of the new K Grind, which played a part in two major championship victories last season. The 46&ordm; to 52&ordm; F Grind models feature wider soles for increased playability, while the 54&ordm; to 60&ordm; M Grind models have enhanced heel to toe radius for improved turf interaction.SM5 offers two mid-bounce sand wedge options in both the 54&ordm; and 56&ordm; lofts, based on feedback from Titleist fitters and tour players that more bounce is preferred out of the bunker. The S and M Grinds, with 10&ordm; of bounce, also provide more versatility from the sand.TOUR-PROVEN SOLE GRINDS: Each SM5 sole grind is derived from Vokey&rsquo;s work with players on the PGA Tour. The S Grind, for example, was inspired by Steve Stricker, who likes to play his wedges in a square position with the shaft leaning away from the target. Available on four mid-bounce SM5 models (54&ordm; to 60&ordm;), the S Grind features a full sole with moderate heel relief and a medium ribbon ground along the trailing edge.&ldquo;Steve has a shallow angle of attack, with little to no wrist action. The S Grind gives him the versatility to hit many different shots around the green, even with his neutral style,&rdquo; Vokey said. &ldquo;For players that like to rotate the face open, the M Grind is a very popular option.&rdquo;The K Grind, the newest addition to the Vokey Spin Milled family, was born out of Vokey&rsquo;s recent work with several tour players, including Adam Scott and Jason Dufner. The K Grind features a wide sole with increased bounce and enhanced camber that is playable in a variety of conditions. Last season, both Scott and Dufner played K Grind wedges in their victories at the Masters Tournament and PGA Championship, respectively.&ldquo;Both Adam and Jason were looking for a sand wedge that was very forgiving out of the bunker, but still allowed them to hit a lot of different shots around the green,&rdquo; Vokey said. &ldquo;When Adam put it into play last year at Augusta National, with all of its tight lies, I knew we&rsquo;d found it.&rdquo;(Please see below chart for full bounce and grind matrix and grind descriptions.)COMPACT PROFILE: Based on tour player feedback, Spin Milled 5 wedges feature a more compact, balanced profile than their SM4 predecessors. SM5 wedges have a rounder toe profile than SM4, as well as a shorter blade length and taller toe and (par) heel heights.TOUR VALIDATION: Jordan Spieth is one of more than 30 players who have already switched to the new Vokey SM5 wedges. Spieth made his 2014 PGA Tour debut with two SM5 wedges in the bag, finishing runner-up at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m looking for a lot of versatility. I&rsquo;m looking to be able to hit it high, hit it low, shots that are going to spin back but also shots where they can drop and just stop where they land,&rdquo; said Spieth. &ldquo;My favorite shots are those low spinners, those two hop-and-stop pitch shots from 30-40 yards &ndash; they&rsquo;re awesome with the new SM5 wedges.&rdquo;Other players with SM5 wedges in the bag include: Steve Stricker, Bill Haas, Scott Piercy, Brendon de Jonge, Scott Stallings, Marc Leishman, John Merrick, Geoff Ogilvy, Morgan Hoffmann, Bud Cauley, Greg Chalmers and Charley Hoffman.NEW FINISHES, CLEAN LOOKS: Spin Milled 5 wedges are available in three new finish options: Tour Chrome, Gold Nickel and Raw Black. The new, brighter Tour Chrome has a dark blast face for better contrast and framing, a soft nickel layer base for feel and rust prevention, and a thin top chrome layer for durability. Gold Nickel utilizes a double nickel layer process to help create better feel, rust prevention and durability. Raw Black, previously a tour-only finish, utilizes a QPQ process to create a thin protection layer for feel and durability. Raw Black will rust during the course of play.SM5 wedges have a cleaner look, with updated graphics and the grind designation (i.e. &ldquo;S Grind&rdquo;) stamped on each club. There is also a larger area for personalization, allowing up to five characters.ADVANCED PERSONALIZATION AND CUSTOM OPTIONS: SM5 wedges can be custom ordered with a wide range of specifications and personalization, including an industry-leading selection of shafts, grips, shaft bands, ferrules, stamping and paint fill.

Posted: September 3, 2013                            FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Sept. 3, 2013) &ndash; Precision engineered for advanced performance, the new Titleist AP1 and AP2 irons deliver longer flight with increased forgiveness and a more solid feel.Precise iron play requires both distance and control, hitting shots that fly the desired distance with the proper trajectory to softly land the ball near the pin. The new AP1 and AP2 (714 Series) irons, available in golf shops worldwide beginning Nov. 8, feature progressive designs developed by the Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D team to produce optimum launch, trajectory and distance for each loft. Advanced CG height progression, precisely designed into both models, creates higher launching long irons and flatter launching short irons for more carry distance with outstanding control to help players stop the ball on the green, closer to the hole.Titleist R&amp;D also utilized innovative tungsten weighting and manufacturing technologies to make AP1 and AP2 the most forgiving irons in the game at the head sizes and blade lengths preferred by serious golfers. Performance-engineered profiles with precisely placed high density tungsten weighting in the long and mid irons help produce higher MOI, increasing the speed on miss-hits to provide consistent distance without sacrificing workability or shot control.The new AP1 irons are the longest, most forgiving irons Titleist has ever made, with a multi-material, dual cavity design for players that want maximum distance, forgiveness and solid feel in a great looking progressive game improvement chassis. The new AP2 models are multi-material forged irons that offer distance with trajectory control and forgiveness with workability in a solid feeling, great looking tour-proven chassis.&ldquo;When it comes to iron play, distance without the ability to stop your shot is meaningless. You have to hit the ball far enough to reach the green, but also have the proper ball flight to stop it near the hole,&rdquo; said Steve Pelisek, General Manager, Titleist Golf Clubs. &ldquo;What our R&amp;D team has accomplished with the new AP1 and AP2 models is impressive, effectively taking each individual iron as its own design and optimizing its performance to provide longer distance, more consistent distance and stopping control, even when you don&rsquo;t hit a shot perfectly.&rdquo;The new irons debuted on the PGA Tour this summer to immediate validation and success, with two instant converters to the new AP2 models quickly earning breakthrough victories. Jordan Spieth won his first-career PGA Tour title at the John Deere Classic with new AP2 irons in the bag, just two weeks after the clubs launched on tour. Soon after, Jason Dufner played new AP2&rsquo;s in winning the PGA Championship for his first major title.LONGER, PRECISE FLIGHT: Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D designed the new AP1 and AP2 irons to provide the best combination of trajectory and distance control. The long and mid irons feature improved dual-cavity constructions (AP1 has a new, deep undercut; AP2 has a 25-percent thinner upper cavity face) with high density tungsten efficiently placed low in the head for lower CG, making it easier for players to launch the ball higher for more carry distance. The short irons have a thicker upper face and narrower sole that help raise the CG for a lower, flatter trajectory with outstanding control into the green.The short iron lofts in both AP1 (#7-W) and AP2 (#6-W) have been strengthened 1 degree to help lower launch and increase ball speed for more distance. A second AP1 gap wedge (52&ordm;) has also been added to help with set gapping.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve really taken progressive design to another level to get that flight and forgiveness where we want it,&rdquo; Pelisek said.To ensure proper CG height throughout the set, high density tungsten is placed low in the bottom of the hosel of the AP2 P and W irons. This also helps make for a better transition to utility wedges, which typically have the CG slightly closer to the heel.MAXIMUM FORGIVENESS: AP1 and AP2 irons provide the most forgiveness in the game at their tour-proven blade sizes. High density tungsten is precisely placed low in the toe (and co-forged into the heel of AP2) of the long and mid irons to create high MOI that drives higher ball speeds across the face for more consistent distance on off-center hits.&ldquo;Every player can benefit from added forgiveness. You always want to maintain distance so that you carry that bunker, or water hazard, even if you don&rsquo;t catch it on the center of the face,&rdquo; said Dan Stone, Vice President of Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a progression in how we design irons. Since long irons require more speed and are more difficult to hit for most players, we try to maximize the forgiveness. You can design more forgiveness into an iron by simply make the head bigger, but in doing so, we would give up control. And Titleist wants to use a profile and shape that players prefer. So we push the envelope with high density tungsten in order to maximize forgiveness while retaining the look that serious golfers want to play.&rdquo;CO-FORGING PROCESS: Pioneered by Titleist R&amp;D, the co-forging process allows for the extreme placement of high density tungsten low and out on the heel of the AP2 long irons. The result is higher launch with maximum forgiveness, without the loss of workability or shot control, at the AP2&rsquo;s constant, tour-preferred blade length.The tungsten co-forging process takes place in the middle of the AP2&rsquo;s standard forging process. The partially forged head is removed from the forging die, after which a pilot hole is drilled into the heel. The hole is seeded with the tungsten weight and a steel cap. The head is then returned to the forging die where the tungsten is precisely hammered into place.&ldquo;The co-forging process really illustrates the critical thinking and the tremendous design and engineering expertise we have in Titleist R&amp;D to keep finding way to improve our irons,&rdquo; said Marni Ines, Director of Titleist Irons Development. &ldquo;We have more discretionary weight to play with on the AP2 because of its smaller chassis, which provided us the opportunity to place tungsten in the extreme perimeters of the club head. On average there are over 40 grams of tungsten in the long and mid irons (#3-7), which is around 20 percent of the total head weight. This efficient weighting produces high MOI in a tour-proven profile.&rdquo;MORE SOLID FEEL: Progressive CG not only helps flight the AP1 and AP2 irons properly, it also helps provide solid feel. The optimized CG heights are positioned closer to the point of impact, resulting in a larger sweet spot for a more solid feel on every shot.A new face support bar in the AP1 long irons further tunes face vibrations for improved feel at impact. With both models, increased face thickness in the short irons adds mass behind the ball for a more blade-like short iron feel.IMPROVED SOLE PROFILE: AP1 and AP2 irons feature a new pre-worn leading edge that reduces digging at the point of turf entry, and increased camber (more in the short irons) that helps control divot depth to allow a smooth entry and release from the turf for a more playable sole.An improved hosel-to-leading edge blend reduces the appearance of offset through both sets, while the AP2 8, 9 and P irons feature a reduced heel height for a more proportioned, compact profile.AP1 long irons feature a wider topline that adds confidence, while AP1 short irons have a slightly thinner topline and sole for a more playable, solid visual.Both AP1 and AP2 feature a satin polish playing position with bright polish cavity highlights for superior appearance at address. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: The new Titleist AP1 and AP2 (714 Series) irons will be available in golf shops worldwide beginning Nov. 8. AP1 irons have a MAP of $100 per club (steel shaft) and $125 per club (graphite). AP2 irons have a MAP of $137.50 (steel) and $161 (graphite) per club.ON TOUR: Nearly 40 players on the worldwide professional tours have already switched to the new AP1 or AP2 models since the seeding and tour validation process began in late June at the PGA Tour&rsquo;s AT&amp;T National. At the John Deere Classic, just two weeks after the new models made their debut on tour, Jordan Spieth trusted the new AP2&rsquo;s to three-consecutive 65s and a maiden PGA Tour title.Less than a month later, Jason Dufner earned his first major title at the PGA Championship playing a new set of AP2 irons and, as one national golf magazine cover boasted, &ldquo;lots of precise iron shots.&rdquo; Dufner hit 54 of 72 greens in regulation at Oak Hill, which ranked third overall for the week.&ldquo;The new AP2&rsquo;s are really nice. The soles are better, the bounce is configured a little bit differently, and the feel is better,&rdquo; Dufner said. &ldquo;They just feel real solid through the strike, there&rsquo;s no turf grab with the leading edge and they&rsquo;re just going right through the turf really nice. They feel really solid all around, even if you catch one a little thin or a little heavy they still seem to hold their flight well.&rdquo;On the Web.com Tour, Peter Malnati also gamed a new set of AP2&rsquo;s in winning the News Sentinel Open, birdieing five of his last seven holes.Other players who have already put AP2 irons in their bags include: Ben Crane, Kevin Na, Brendon de Jonge, Jbe Kruger, Jason Bohn, Mark O&rsquo;Meara, Brad Faxon and Jay Haas. Ben Curtis switched to the new Titleist AP1 irons the first week they were available.NEW AP1 (714 SERIES) IRONS: FEATURES AND BENEFITSPRECISE FLIGHT with optimum launch, trajectory and distance.
