Irons 2016

There are some really sleek new golf hot list 2016 irons with more advanced technology will help make  make you game of golf a little easier than last season, take a look at what is available for the 2016 golf season.

Titleist 716 AP1

The stainless steel AP1 716 has a thinner face which makes it more flexible than its predecessor, which leads to more ball speed, a higher launch and likely more carry distance. The 3- through 7-irons have 50 percent more tungsten in the low toe than the previous AP1 (42 grams per club versus 28). This will boost the MOI by 4 percent and lowers the center of gravity, letting Titleist strengthen lofts by one degree without flattening launch. Plus, more sole camber should prevent digging for mid-handicappers who need help through impact.

Titleist's 716 AP2 is forged and has the word Tungsten on the 5 through 7 irons only, along with a re-designed cavity and the tungsten accounts for approximately 20% of the head weight, Adding weight in the heel and toe of the head increased the MOI in the long and short irons without increasing the blade length. The cost is  $900 for steel and $1,100 for graphite.

Titleist 716 AP2

The Titleist 716 AP2 three through seven irons have 25 percent more tungsten in the heel and toe than the 714 model (56 grams per club), which concentrates mass low and toward the perimeter. And because the AP2 716’s blade length is identical to the AP2 714’s, the result it has an 8.5 percent higher MOI.

 The 3- through 5-irons have a slightly lower center of gravity that’s positioned closer to where you typically strike the ball, which helps increase speed. And by design, this model has similar launch and spin characteristics to the AP2 714. They will sell for $1,200, steel; $1,400, graphite.

Titleist 716 CB

 

 The Titleist 716 CB’s body size and dimensions are very similar in terms of blade length, top line thickness and offset to the AP2 irons, this is a high-tech construction to the cavity-back club. 

Titleist 716 MB


The Titleist 716 MB Irons, a fifth new model (not pictured), is a pure muscle back blade with a thinner top line than its predecessor. The muscle has been shifted higher in the head to improve impact feel. $1,100, steel; $1,300, graphite.

Titleist 716 T-MB

The Titleist 716 T-MB is a blade like look and comes with the True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT shafts, but the stainless-steel body is packed with a high-strength steel face reinforced with tungsten weights in the heel and toe. This distribution of mass contributes to a low, deep CG and an MOI that’s 6.8 percent higher than the one found in existing 712U utility irons. 

The Titleist T-MB also has one-degree stronger lofts than the 712U, which helps generate 2 mph more ball speed and an extra 3.9 yards of carry. The T-MB profile and blade lengths are similar to the AP2’s.

The stock standard lofts are 17°, 20°, 23° and 26°, but full sets ($1,600, steel; $1,800, graphite) are available through Titleist’s MOTO (“made only to order”) program. $200/club, steel; $225/club, graphite.

Titleist 716 CB

The Titleist 716 CB’s body size and dimensions are very similar in terms of blade length, top line thickness and offset to the AP2 irons, this is a high-tech construction to the cavity-back club. 

By adding an average of 55.2 grams of tungsten in the form of those two weights, the center of gravity is lowered. The long and middle irons should produce a slightly higher ball flight that stops quicker for distance control.

The Titleist 716 CB -3-P are priced at $1,200, steel; $1,400, graphite
