Ian Poulter spills the beans on Titleist’s AP3, 718 irons
Thank you, Ian Poulter. That’s how Titleist fans are feeling toward the Ryder Cup hero for spilling the beans on Titleist’s new 718 iron lineup, which looks to include an all-new model called the 718 AP3. His photos, which were posted on his Instagram account, also include photos of what appear to be the new 718 T-MB, 718 AP2 irons.
As in past years, Titleist is expected to officially release its newest equipment to PGA Tour players at next week’s Quicken Loans National. We’ll have our boots on the ground to capture more images of the clubs, which will allow us to make better educated guesses about the design of the all-new AP3.
For now, enjoy speculating on what Poulter posted below. You can see what GolfWRX Members are saying about the clubs in our forum here.

What are the driver and shaft combinations of the best golfers in the world? For gearheads, it’s an endlessly interesting question — even if we can only ever aspire to play LS heads and 7 TX shafts.

I think this time around its time to simply mix and match clubs to go in the bag. Looking forward to the fall the dial in on these. Curious to read about the testing.

I still like the looks of the old 714’s the best.

Where is the 7 iron?
Luke

I think they could be a more forgiving long iron along the lines of the t-Mb but geared towards people not wanting hybrids or t-mb to replace the stock ap2 long irons. The sole looks super deep as wide as the t-mb. Don’t think I’ll love them at first look.

Yeah I’ll be keeping my 716 AP2 beauts. See you in 2019 Titleist.

I seriously went to Titleist site to peek at this years models because those don’t look like the new 718 range. Just judging by looks the Ap2s look like a throwback to the 914 model. The AP3s have a newer style but I am not stunned. Hope the CBs will look nicer.

In logic the AP3 should be more along the lines of the CB model. As all prior AP2 are more player geared than AP1. So it would only make sense that for AP3 would have a more better player geared design and look. I think if Titleist did away with the CB and made the AP3 more like prior CB designs they would sell more of the CB type design. So basically what I’m saying is change the CB name to AP3 and there you go. Shake things up a bit.

Looks a little like a cross between the AP 1 and AP2 (1+2 =3).

718 MB irons hiding in the background as well. Not sure how the ap3 are more players clubs than ap2? The cavity looks pretty deep.

Looks like someone has copied from Mizuno .Just added chrome and a different badge .

Looks nothing like a Mizuno iron. Looks like the color of the 714 with the design of the 716.
