A few weeks ago I went to Manchester Lane and got fitted for new AP1 716 irons, 816s and the new Vokey SM6. Later on that day i got my specs and obviously the next step is whether or not I should buy them. A few weeks later the boxes came :) Telling the wife about these was the hard part and it's a long road to recovery but i'll be fine.. Anyways...
I've played a few rounds and so far I am VERY happy about these new clubs.
716 AP1 6-GW.. Wow, just wow... I am really enjoying these new irons.. And IMO, they feel smoother than my old 714 AP1s. i think a lot of it has to do with the new shaft the fitter recommended. The dude is a genius. Everything about the clubs just feels right.. The irons feel lighter and I feel i have more control of the irons.. The shaft i got were the Nippon 950
816 21 and 25 degrees w/ Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana Hyb M+ Red 60/50.. Another WOW.. These clubs are so easy to hit.. Both of these replaced my 4 and 5 iron.. I feel these are easier to hit to get the yardages I need... Definitely a lot of headcovers in my bag now :)
SM6 52 and 60 degree.. Both are amazing but still some work to do since they feel a little heavier than my old SM5.. I like these b/c I feel they hit the ball better with more spin..
Overall I'm very happy with these clubs..
And now the 917s.... Dear honey... :)
