- Titleist 716 AP1 & AP2 Irons
New 716 AP Iron models deliver best-in-class combination of distance, forgiveness and shot-stopping performance in player-preferred profiles.
Titleist 716 AP1 Irons
The new 716 AP1 [above] is the longest, most forgiving Titleist iron ever, designed for golfers seeking maximum distance and maximum forgiveness. A 360º Undercut Cavity results in a large, thin, unsupported face area, that flexes more at impact for increased ball speed. High Density Tungsten, placed in the long and mid irons, produces a lower centre of gravity (CG) for a higher launch angle. The forgiving High-MOI design – with 50 per cent more tungsten than prior generation 714 – maximises heel and toe stability without increasing AP1’s preferred blade length, while producing higher ball speeds across the face for more consistent distance on off-
centre hits.
Titleist 716 AP2 Irons
The new 716 AP2 is Titleist’s most advanced players’ iron, made even better, delivering tour-proven distance with forgiveness and solid forged feel. High Density Tungsten weighting creates a low CG that is perfectly aligned at impact to increase speed and distance. The forgiving High-MOI design – with 25 per cent more tungsten than prior generation 714 – drives higher ball speeds across the face for more consistent distance on off-centre hits at a tour-preferred blade length. AP2’s innovative construction combines a forged 1025 Carbon steel body with tungsten weighting in the long and mid irons producing low CG and high MOI with Solid Forged Feel. “The first time I looked down at the new AP2’s they looked even cleaner,” says reigning Masters and Australian Open champion Jordan Spieth. “I thought they looked almost like a blade. As an amateur, you can now get the look of a tour blade while still having the consistency and forgiveness of a forged cavity. AP2 for me is about distance and forgiveness. Distance is always going to help. If you can hit a 7-iron a bit farther, a 7-iron is a little easier to hit than a 6-iron, a 6-iron is a little easier to hit than a 5-iron. So the less club you can hit into greens, the higher probability you’re going to score better.”

- Titleist 716 CB & MB Irons
CB’s high-tech construction provides shotmaking with forgiveness; MB’s modern, high muscle profile enhances tour-proven look and feel.
Titleist 716 CB Irons
The new Titleist 716 CB irons provide shot control with forgiveness and solid forged feel through the game’s most high-tech blade construction.
High Density Tungsten weighting creates a Low CG that is perfectly aligned at impact to increase speed and distance. A High-MOI design drives higher ball speeds across the face for more consistent distance on off-centre hits, without the loss of workability or shot control, at the CB’s constant, tour-preferred blade length. Optimised CG heights, low with a slight progression up through the set, deliver precise, tour-proven trajectory, while increasing the sweet spot for solid feel.
Titleist 716 MB Irons
New Titleist 716 MB irons deliver maximum shot control with pure, forged feel through a precise, muscleback design with high-tech refinements. A modern High Muscle Design with a squarer toe and thin top-line, inspired by the Titleist Forged 680 series (circa 2003), delivers tour-proven flight with maximum shot and trajectory control. The high, muscleback weighting, better positioned behind the sweet spot, provides pure, forged feel on every shot. Optimised CG heights, deliver precise, tour-proven trajectory, while increasing the sweet spot for solid feel. New MB irons feature precise profiles that look perfect from long irons to short and provide consistent performance on every shot.

- Titleist 716 T-MB Utility Irons
Technically advanced utility irons deliver tour-proven combination of high launch, long carry distance and forgiveness in a muscleback frame.
“The way I see the T-MB iron is really the future of the game,” says Scott. “Technology is involved in everything. This is going to be revolutionary in iron sets. We’ve seen it in hybrids replacing long irons. Now we’re going to see hollow muscleback with perimeter weighting – tungsten, in this case – replacing muscleback irons, cavity irons, all the way down through the short irons. I think that’s the way forward. It’s going to be about launching it high and controlling the spin, hitting it a long way but a controlled distance, and there are huge benefits to playing golf that way.
“The T-MB’s have a lively feel but it’s very solid. I think that addition of the tungsten in there certainly gives it that solid feel. It’s extremely forgiving and certainly coming from an MB to hitting a T-MB you get that extra forgiveness but it is lively and you certainly know you’ve hit a T-MB when you have … It’s an all-positive message coming off that club.”
