    I cannot find the stock bounce specifications for the AP2 or AP1716 irons anywhere on the site. I remember it used to be printed along with the lie angle, loft, shaft length etc. for previous AP models on the club model page. I just went to look up my new AP2 bounce angles to compare to my old ones, partially out of curiosity, but also to see if there is any difference between my old AP2 712s and my new AP2/AP1 716s. I seem to hit my new ones much better and was wondering if the bounce changed at all, or maybe it's as a result of the new worn leading edge design in the 716s. Also, when changing out my old Vokeys for new SM6 wedges this spring, I want to go with a 50* gap wedge that is not too far off from the bounce of my AP2 PW, whatever that my be. (I'm guessing 8 or 9*.) Any help would be appreciated.

    I keep my booklets that list all that data from year to year.  I was looking at the 712s and 714s and the bounce from those two years did not change.  Based on the info I found for the 714s, the AP1 W is a 48* with a 7* bounce and the W2 is a 52* with a 7* bounce.  The AP2 W is a 50* with a 7* bounce.   

    If you cannot find the bounce on the previous year's clubs here is the listing for 712 and 714 and they are the same. 

    Iron    2    3     4     5      6     7       8     9     P 

    AP1   -     1*    1*    2*    2*    3*     4*    5*    6* 

    AP2   -     0*    1*    3*    4*    4*     5*    6*    7*

    LOFT

    AP1   -    20*  23*  26*   29*  32*  36*   40*  44* 

    AP2   -    21*  24*  27*   30*  34*  38*   42*  46*

    Maybe the bounce did not change again?  But thought this might give you something to go on.

    Hi,  We made the decision not to include the bounce angle because the modern sole design is so much more than just the bounce angle.  Given that sole width, camber, grind, bounce as well as CG will all have an impact on how your irons move through the turf.it was no longer as relevant to list just the bounce.  However, the bounce of the 716 irons is the same as the 714 irons.  Here is a link to a discussion on the bounces that we had several months ago.    http://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/6/t/30430.aspx#143277

    Thanks Cathi,

    I was looking everywhere for the bounce numbers to try to make sure that hasn't changed in the newest iteration.

    I wasn't considering AP2's until I ended up renting a set of the AP2 712's today for a round on a business trip.

    I'm truly impressed with how easily they moved through any terrain from fairways to sand.

    I have never before had the confidence to attack a green from 130+ away in a sand trap, today I made that twice, overshooting the green on a 3rd attempt.
