Titleist have decided to launch the new 816 hybrids with the 716 irons on this occasion to align the two product lifecycles, in order help professionals with club fittings, helping to find the best distance gaps for the players with a wide variety of options to suit their game (including two different shaped hybrids to suit different swing types)
This is a one-off shift in Titleist’s regular two-year product lifecycles to align the two products; new hybrids will continue to be launched together with the irons from here on in
716 irons KEY FOCUS
AP1 Irons
- Longest, most forgiving Titleist iron ever
- Provides maximum distance and forgiveness for all players
- Maximum distance from 360 undercut and thin fast face
- More distance from the low CG which allows stronger lofts
- Maximum forgiveness from high MOI, from the use of high density tungsten (50% more than the previous 714 generation of AP1)
- Real opportunity to make a big impression on the market with these, especially within the game-improvement iron category, as tests have proven them to be the most forgiving iron in the category by far
AP2 Irons
- Titleist’s most advanced players iron, made even better
- Distance from the low CG perfectly aligned for impact
- Advanced co-forging process places high density tungsten low and on the perimeter for the head (25% more tungsten than 714 AP2s)
- Forgiveness from the high MOI
CB Irons
- Advanced co-forging process places high density tungsten low and on the perimeter of the club for increased forgiveness
- Tour proven shot control and solid forged feel
MB Irons
- Redesigned muscleback shape, inspired by the original 680 Titleist irons to suit the world’s best shot makers
T-MB Irons
- Replace the 712U utility irons
- Use of high density tungsten in the heel and toe increases forgiveness from high MOI
- Thin fast face insert provides high launch and speed for longer carry
816 hybrids KEY FOCUS
