  1. Hi,

    My name is Ivan, I have a 9 handicap and I have a question. I have been playing for the past year with a set of 714 AP1's. I have recently been gifted a used set of the new 716 T-MB's 5-P. I will be giving my AP1's to my brother (or wife is she decided to ever play with me). My concern is if I will be able to adjust to those or will it be a huge difference that will need alot of practice at the range? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi Ivan, With a 9 - HDCP, it seems to me that you have a pretty good swing with pretty consistent ball striking. As such, I think that you should make the transition to the T-MBs without too much difficulty. The feedback that I have heard from others is that it is a fairly easy club to swing and has a really good ball flight/trajectory. So as is the case with all new irons, it will take some time on the range to get used to them, etc. On another note, you may wish to consider bringing them into a professional fitter so that you can get the shafts, lie angles etc. all checked for your swing rather than those of the previous owner. My experience is that this will be money well spent to make sure that they are "fitted" to your swing, with the appropriate shafts, lie/loft gaps, etc. -- I think this is even more significant given that you are playing to a 9-HDCP and will want to make the most of your new clubs. Regardless, Ivan, it would be nice to hear how you have proceeded and how your experience has played out with the club switch. All the best! D.

    I would suggest to meet up with a fitter and get tested on the T-MB There you can also try the other Titleist clubs, if one might even be better for you
