Great new golf clubs in 2010
I was so impressed with the original callaway ft-iz driver that I was almost afraid to try this one. After all, I had just started to be won over by Callaway's latest offerings. I was truly in fear that I was about to be callaway x-24 hot irons rather underwhelmed by a second generation driver that represented change for change's sake. Instead, I was once again pleasantly surprised as titleist 2010 ap2 irons continues to obviously be sinking lots of money into both research and development, as well as quality control. The taylormade burner superfast driver is indeed a cut above the original. There's a lot of technology in this one, so don't let that "Christmas Ornament On A Shaft" look of the original make you shy about trying this one. Whereas I called the first callaway x22 --"Callaway's Tribute To The TaylorMade Burner", this one continues in that vein, however, there's more than just a slight tip of the hat to Cobra on this one. Lest that begins to sound too much like a messy x22 irons hodge podge of wannabe compromises, follow me here on this one. Callaway continues to impress, and here's why.
DISTANCE
This titleist ap2 is definitely a shade longer than the original. I believe there are several factors responsible for this. While the original sported the same hot "X-Face" technology that Callaway has been refining for several years, this newer model, similar to the new taylor made r9 irons Model, also features said an X-Face technology that has been "Chemically Milled." As I explained in the FT iZ review, this process is similar to the old "Acid Dipping" process we used to use to remove dead weight from the heavy gauge steel bodies of our old hot rods when we were kids. Similarly ishiner to the old r9 irons and Plymouth Belvedere's of our generation, this newer "Chemically Milled Face" has had the dynamic spots made larger, and the deader spots made much smaller. Though all drivers max out at .830 COR by USGA Regulations, the entire face does feel more consistent. Hit one of these anywhere near the sweet spot--and that ball is going to fly. |
