With the launch of their new Titleist 714 irons, Titleist is striving to provide distance irons that have shot-stopping ability, and maximum forgiveness with workability. Titleist has redefined the term "serious golfer" so that it refers not only to scratch players but also to committed golfers who are willing to dedicate time to the game. This year, for the first time, Titleist's AP1 family of irons will be the company's best-selling, and they're the most forgiving. Since forgiveness in an iron is speed, the goal of the titleist ap1 714 irons is to generate the same amount of ballspeed across the face. Consequently, each iron within the set is designed differently. Compared with the 712 AP1 irons, the 714 AP1s have a more blunted leading edge and more camber in the sole to help improve turf interaction, and they're one degree stronger. The long irons (3, 4 and 5) have the deepest undercut cavity (much bigger than the 712 AP1s) with the thinnest faces for more ballspeed, and tungsten weights plugged into the toe for greater forgiveness. Shorter irons have no undercut cavity, thicker faces and no tungsten weights for greater workability. The top part of the face is the thinnest Titliest has ever made, which saved engineers six grams that they then repositioned around the perimeter of the head for greater forgiveness. Two tungsten weights in every head except for the 8 and 9 irons are designed to further stabilize the club at impact. Compared with the 712 AP2 irons, the 714 irons are one degree stronger. On the titleist ap2 714 irons, for example, the upper cavity has been thinned, taking weight from the top and keeping more weight low (using high-density tungsten) to assist launch. In the short irons, a slimmer sole with more weight high helps bring ball flight down. In 2011, the company had 14 sets of the new irons in play the first week, and Titleist expects to reach double digits this week, says Marni Ines, director of iron development.
