I demo'd it a couple days ago and just came back from my fitting. It is the best set of irons I have ever hit. I have NEVER said about any irons throughout my playing experience, but even the demo 6 iron felt perfect. I finally saw that my 6 iron speed is 84 mph (+/- 1 mph), about 170 yds.
Specs:
4-GW (standard LLL) - we tested for about 30 mins. hitting off the impact board. (Is it me or is every impact board a PING impact board..lol) I was surprised to see that 85% of my impact were right down flush with the standard settings according to the tape. I had a few that were on the heel which I knew were the ones that drew/hooked.
Shaft: R300 DG HL (High Launch), 113g. There other various upgrades but this was perfect for me.
The Titleist rep said my swing speed was at verging toward the end of the R300 shaft spectrum. He said I could probably do the S300 but I would lose a little distance but have a tighter dispersion. I kept the R300 because I had absolute control of the shaft and I knew I could pepper it a little if I had to.
One thing I immediately noticed with the AP1's was how easy it was to get that nice penetrating flight that kept on going. It definitely goes the higher trajectory I wanted but no ballooning. I was hitting my 6 iron as high as my old 7 iron (Callaway X-18 Pro Series). They are easy to hit (I'm playing to about a 15 right now).
Anyway, alas, the wait now to get it back from the factory. Golf got fun again.
