Recently, Titleist company has launched the new AP1 and AP2 irons. They deliver an industry leading combination of performance, looks and feel. Here I only refer to Titleist AP2 712 Irons.
It features our most advanced multi-material designs which deliver superior distance control through increased moment-of-inertia (MOI) which also provides outstanding solid feel. In addition we have made appearance improvements to both sets.
Titleist has always been about tradition and seem to always be going after the better player. I for one like the new 712 AP2 looks pretty decent. Titleist has long used “700’’ numbers for irons for a long time. It uses 900 numbers for metal woods. The “7” stands for irons, while the “12” stands for the new model year, 2012.
The new titleist AP2 irons 712, which are designed for low handicappers,Titleist has significantly increased the club's moment of inertia (MOI) by re-positioning tungsten weight within the heads.The overall goal was to better apply the different materials used in the design.
Acushnet says the feedback it receives during this validation process influences the design and specifications of the Titleist products available in golf shops around the world. No word yet on when the 712 AP2 irons is available at retail.
Overall, the new cheap golf clubs--Titleist 712 AP2 Irons are more forgiving and more disctance control.It gives the AP2 player more consistent ball speed over a larger area of the face.

Bo Van Pelt Leads Asia Pacific Classic
SELANGOR, Malaysia (AP) — Bo Van Pelt shot a 4-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over fellow Indiana player Jeff Overton after the third round of the Asia Pacific Classic.
Van Pelt, the winner of the PGA Tour's 2009 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee, had a 16-under 197 total at The Mines in the second-year event sanctioned by the PGA Tour and Asian Tour.
"I just love to play to compete," Van Pelt said "It's not about the money. That's what gets my juices flowing. Like my grandpa always told me, 'You can't take it with you.'
"Obviously, any time you're near the lead with 18 to go, you're excited. That's why we practice and why we enter tournaments. That's all you can ask for, to have a chance to win on Sunday. It's exciting, and I'm looking forward to it. It's been a while since I won a golf tournament, so it would be great."
Overton, tied for second-round lead with Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson after a course-record 62, had a 69.
"It wasn't my day on the greens," Overton said "Didn't make anything."
Overton noted the Hoosier connection at the top of the leaderboard.
"It's crazy," Overton said. "We're from the same state, Indiana, and probably the only two players in the field or on tour from Indiana. To actually come all the way here, a 12-hour time change, halfway around the world to play golf with each other, it'll be fun."

Luke Donald wins US money list with Disney Classic victory
Britain's Luke Donald clinched the PGA Tour money list title with victory at the Disney Classic in Florida.
The world number one played a magnificent back nine which included six birdies on the way to a 64.
Donald's chances looked far from certain with a bogey six on the eighth but his round came alive on the back nine.
Playing partner and PGA money list rival Webb Simpson finished the tournament four shots behind Donald.
The triumph means Englishman Donald is on course to become the first player to top the money lists in both the United States and Europe.
In Europe the 33-year-old leads by over £1m, but there are eight events left and he will be missing some because his wife Diane is expecting their second child in the next fortnight.
Donald had to win the Florida tournament or finish second to top the money list. It did not look a certainty with eight holes to play as Donald, Simpson, Billy Mayfair and Justin Leonard trailed 15-under-par tournament leader Kevin Chappell by one stroke.
Donald then started playing majestic golf with consecutive birdies on 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.
He took sole lead of the tournament on the 14th and strengthened his position with an extraordinary 45-foot putt on 15.
His form appeared to put Simpson off his stroke. The 26-year-old American, three under for the front nine, found himself making pars rather than birdies down the home stretch.
Donald, born in Hemel Hempstead, parred 16, 17 and 18 to card his 64 and finish 17 under par.
"I didn't play the Ping G20 Irons fives well," the Englishman said. "But what better time to go on a run than the final round back nine when everything was on the line?
"I wasn't too happy with my swing earlier in the week but it's nice to do it under pressure. All credit to [coach] Pat Goss and the good team I have around me.
"It's been a tremendous year for me. I answered a lot of critics' questions coming here knowing I had to win, and doing it."
A gracious Simpson conceded: "I just ran into a buzz saw! I expected the best player in the world to play well but I didn't quite expect six birdies in a row. I didn't quite have my game where I wanted it." Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver
Donald's Disney win was his fourth PGA career success but his first PGA strokeplay victory since the Honda Classic in 2006.
Donald is still chasing his first major victory, but has posted 14 top 10 finishes in 19 US tournaments in 2011.
The £531,000 Disney Classic cheque took him on to a total of £4.19m ($6.68m) US winnings this year, with Webb Simpson finishing on £3.98m ($6.34m).
Donald currently leads the European Tour money list with £3.34m in earnings, £1.14m clear of Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy.

Westwood would like to see Asian-Pacific major created
World No. 2 Lee Westwood thinks men's golf should create a new major in the Asia-Pacific region. The 38-year-old Englishman made the suggestion despite being a supporter of the history behind the four events that currently make up the highlights of the golf season.
"I like the tradition of the majors. I think the men's game has got it pretty much right, although I'd like to see another major somewhere else in the world. Somewhere like Asia or Australia," said Westwood, who will be playing in the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions -- Asia's one truly world-class tournament -- in Shanghai in November.
The HSBC Champions was added to the World Golf Championships schedule in 2009, marking the first time one of the global series had been staged outside the United States since 2006. Like many of the European golfers, Westwood fully supported that move and believes the elite group of events should play an even bigger part in the growing internationalization of the sport.
"The World Golf Championships should move around and encapsulate the whole world because it's in the title of the tournaments," the Englishman said. "They should be played by players from all over the world and be played all over the world. China's an emerging market for golf; there's so many courses being built, people taking up the sport and people getting interested in the sport.
"It's somewhere that World Golf Championships have got to be played because it could turn into such a dominant force. Last year's event was great. Myself and Francesco (Molinari) ran away from the field. It probably looked good on TV and that sort of thing gets people interested. The more tournaments there are played there the more interest there will be.
Westwood finished one shot short of adding a win in Shanghai to a record that includes wins everywhere from Australia, through Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Dubai as well as in golf's traditional heartlands.
"I see the way that the Asian economy and markets have supported golf over the last few years and they deserve to have big tournaments there," he said. "Asian golf is getting bigger isn't it? Asia seems to be one of the places that hasn't been hit so hard by the financial crisis. Europe and America have been nailed really, so Asia's going to be looking more healthy. Sponsors are more likely to want to put money into sporting events there because they've got it."
Westwood's comments came after the LPGA was reported to have considered Asia as the location for the fifth Major they were creating this year, before eventually deciding to bestow the honour on the Evian Masters in France.
