I LOVE 718AP2 irons. My favorite AP2.

He takes deep divots. I bet he likes the wider sole on the AP2.

That’s because those irons haven’t really changed outside of cosmetics and a few spec changes (more weight added in longer irons and a different sole grind) for 10 years now…just a marketing name that’s been changed to sell more clubs.

Less offset, thinner top line, shorter blade length, different sole design. You’re right, they’ve not changed…..
