Titleist 714 AP2 Irons Review

For those of you familiar with the AP2 712 irons you will probably not notice many changes to the 714 series Titleist AP2 irons apart from the new shiny look with the Titleist logo mirrored in the back of the cavity. Designed to give it more shelf appeal, we like the polished chrome head combined with the matt chrome bar across the back of the cavity and the logo reflected in the cavity is a nice touch.

The 714 AP2 features more meaningful changes under the skin, but not so major that they change the characteristics of the AP2 chassis that has been so successful. Each iron has been designed to match the loft so the long irons have thinner faces than the short irons with the upper cavity face being only 2.1mm thick.

This allows it to flex a little more and also creates some extra weight to move lower in the head to lower the centre of gravity for more forgiveness. In each corner of the longer irons high density tungsten, which is very heavy for its size, is placed further out towards the heel and toe of the iron to increase the MOI and this makes the long irons much more forgiving than previous versions.

The 4-iron starts the set now at 23 degrees and there is a 3-iron available as an extra, but no 2-iron. However the 4-iron is so easy to hit that you may want the 3. The sound and feel is excellent and it retains the characteritics of a mid-sized forged iron whilst playing like an oversized cavity back.

Moving down through the set the 5-iron plays just the same and when you reach the 6-iron, things change as the lofts from here on down are 1 degree stronger than the 712 AP2 irons with the P wedge now 46 degrees. To plug this gap to the real wedges Titleist also offer a W1 wedge at 50 degrees or you can go for a 50 degree Vokey SM4 wedge , which is probably a better call.

Each iron has been designed with different sized cavities depending on the loft and some like the 8 and 9 irons do not feature any tungsten at all, whereas the pitching wedge gas 12.5 grams of the stuff. Obviously you can’t see this and the swing weight is still D2 throughout the set so from a feel perspective nothing changes.

The forgiveness is excellent all the way through so you would have to say that the boffins at Titleist have got it right. Again for the blade length, the 714 AP2 is one of the highest MOI irons in the market and even for low single figure players this is going to give benefits.

In the 8 to P irons the height of the iron beside the hosel, known as the PAR height has also been reduced to give it a better look at address. There is a progressive offset that reduces as you go through the set and the extra blending around the hosel means that you notice this even less.

Like the other irons in the 714 series the AP2s feature a pre-worn leading edge and extra camber on the sole to improve the turf interaction so that the club does not bury itself into the ground as much. This is a good change and you can really feel this, especially in the shorter irons.

Compared to the forged 714 CB irons , the 714 AP2 irons will not give you as much feedback or be as easy to shape. However if you are low single figure player who does not shape this then having the set or even 4-7 iron in AP2s and the rest in CBs could create a wonderful set. Put a full set of AP2s in the bag and you will have a quality, mid-sized iron that will suit everyone who plays in single figures.

Titleist 714 AP2 Irons - Product Details

User reviews.

I am a 33 year old guy who has been playing for 17 years. I have a 9-11 handicap and play 1-2 times a week. I had been playing AP1 710's and found a great deal on a set of AP2 714's. Great club. I hit my AP1 7-iron 160-165, and have not see any distance loss. The AP2 has a beautiful standover look with a thin top line which was a big reason for my switch. I can not say enough good things about this club. I am Titleist for life!

I love the feel of the forged heads. My last set was strong lofted (TaylorMade RocketBladez ). The TaylorMade 7 iron was 30.5 degrees and went 170 yards. The AP2 7 iron is 34 degrees and goes the same distance. All in all I'm very pleased with these clubs. Thank you Titleist.

Like a few reviews above, I purchased a near new set of AP2 714's and they are plush! Great feel throughout the set with KBS Tour stiff shafts. These are about a half a club longer than my last set, Ping I-25's. The forged construction is far more responsive than the feel of a cast club. These clubs are forgiving even if you catch one low on the face. I'm very happy and will continue to chase par with these!!

I have played the 990b for years. So when I got the 714 AP2 it was an upgrade for me. I am still getting used to the clubs, I have only played 2 rounds with them so far. Shot a 78 on the 2nd round with them. The thing I have had to adjust is that they seem to be one stronger than my old set. I am hitting my 9 iron 145-150 yards, that used to be my 8 iron. They are a little thicker and bigger clubhead, but they are considered a mid-size design. So looking down a approach seems different for now. Good looking club overall, and great distance.

I’ve played these clubs for 2 years and think for a forged club they are very forgiving. I found they play about a club shorter than my old clubs. I went to a Titleist rep and he suggested I have them bent 2 degrees stronger and they play the same but about 7 to 9 yards longer. I would have not thought to do that but instead of buying new clubs and giving up the great feel of these clubs I now have the best combination for me. Titleist is know for keeping lofts at the old standard lofts where TaylorMade and others have made their lofts stronger. I think being fitted by a Titleist rep is the most important part of buying these clubs.

I played cavity back cast irons for 30 years (several DCI models & Tommy Armour 845s) I am 62 and have lost a lot of distance over the years, so I decided to try forged clubs. Picked up a set of like-new 714 AP2s at my local range for a fraction of the cost of 716 AP2s. I got most of my distance back, they are very forgiving for a forged club, nice appearance at address even on the 4 iron, and very easy to swing. Couldn't be more pleased.

I purchased these about 3 years ago. They are easy to hit and have great feel.

Titleist 714 AP2 Iron Review

In today’s golf equipment market the going trend is clearly toward more elaborate and “out there” names to try and catch the eye of the consumer in any way possible. However, there are a few stalwarts out there still dedicated to tradition and simple evolution in their product lines. One such company is Titleist. With the new year approaching, the company is bringing new irons to market, but in the same names golfers have come to know like the AP1 and AP2 irons. THP was fortunate enough to get the chance to put one of those lines, the 714 AP2’s through their paces to see if the same name meant the same performance.

For the purpose of this review THP was sent a 3-PW set of the Titleist’s new 714 AP2 irons. Because Titleist strongly believes in fitting, this set was paired with KBS Tour shafts in stiff flex.

Titleist on the 714 AP2 Irons

Design Details:

Precise iron play means controlling both trajectory and distance to stop your shot near the pin. Titleist AP irons are precision engineered for optimum flight and distance, with increased forgiveness to help you hit it close.

AP2 irons are multi-material forged irons that offer distance with trajectory control and forgiveness with workability in a solid feeling, great looking tour-proven chassis.

Advanced CG height progression creates higher launching long irons and flatter launching short irons for more carry distance with outstanding control. Precisely placed high density tungsten weighting in the long and mid irons produces higher MOI for consistent distance without sacrificing workability.

Tech Specs:

• Longer Flight with trajectory control.  More Carry distance from higher launching, low CG long irons and thicker face, flatter launching short irons.
• Increased Playability from the dual cavity design with high density tungsten weighting.
• Consistent Speed on miss-hits from the high MOI design for better distance control.
• Solid Feel through the set from the progressive CG (lower in the long irons).
• Crisp Turf Release from the camber sole with pre-worn leading edge and beveled trailing edge.
• Tour Proven Profile with progressive weighting, face thickness and sole widths.
• Superior Appearance with a satin polish playing position with bright polish cavity highlights.

Stock Shaft Options:

• True Temper – Dynamic Gold (R300, S300, X100)

Price Point:

• $155 per iron (steel) / $180 per iron (graphite)

 Aesthetics

• Design/Finish

The AP2 line from Titleist has traditionally been a very classy looking iron set, iteration after iteration. Instead of making any drastic changes with the new 714 AP2’s, Titleist has taken the cavity back profile and classic chrome looks we have come to recognize and given them a few simple tweaks in both design and finish. After all, sometimes it isn’t the large changes that make or break aesthetics – it’s the subtle ones.

From an aesthetic design standpoint the AP2 irons continue to blend qualities from both game-improvement and players irons into one singular design. The irons possess a balanced look with a more compact heel to toe length than many pocket cavity irons on the market and also maintain a marginal amount of offset and smaller topline that lower handicap golfers typically enjoy looking at. Where the 714’s separate themselves from their predecessors in this department is with a larger focus on progressive sole thickness and widths as well as overall weighting. All of these things are minor tweaks from the 712 and 710’s, but undoubtedly very calculated ones.

As far as the overall finish is concerned, these are certainly among the best looking pocket cavity irons that have ever been brought to market. The evolution to balance the traditional polished chrome look that Titleist is known for in the cavity and sole by adding in the satin chrome along the topline and face truly makes the iron demand attention in hand, in the bag, and at address. Combine that with more subtle changes like using black Titleist scroll work on a silver cavity badge like with the original AP2 in 2008 (as opposed to the silver text on black which was used on the 710 and 712 AP2’s) and the overall look manages to both stand out as traditional and different at the same time.

Performance

• Trajectory/Launch

With the 714 AP2’s Titleist has continued their use of a multi-material head design and this has a direct correlation to their ability to progressively manipulate the center-of-gravity throughout the set. They are also combining the movement of CG with variable face thickness in order to hit what they consider to be optimal trajectory and launch characteristics. Essentially, Titleist moved the CG lower in the longer irons and paired it with a thinner face for higher launch and carry while moving the CG a bit higher in the shorter irons and pairing that with a thicker face for a flatter overall trajectory to prevent ballooning.

 During testing these claims were definitely noticed, as the longer irons proved to elevate the ball much more consistently, which allowed for some very solid carry distances both off the tee and the turf. The scoring irons still possessed a very nice overall ball flight height, but did so at an arc that was never in danger of ballooning. Despite being a touch flatter, the amount of spin that these shots had into the green might have been the most eye opening aspect. Typically when we as golfers think “flatter” we assume lower and harder to hold greens, but the 714 AP2’s certainly disproved that again and again.

• Distance/Gapping

Titleist sought to provide distance in the new AP2’s without sacrificing workability. The main agent of doing so lies with the position of the tungsten in the irons to alter the CG as mentioned earlier. However, it is worth noting as well that the 714’s also possess a 1-degree stronger loft in the 6-PW than the original AP2’s, the 710’s and 712’s before them did. Launch is everything when it comes to irons, but it is nonetheless interesting to see Titleist move a bit from the same lofts they have used in this line since 2008.

On the course where distance is concerned the 714’s definitely walk that line between a traditional player’s style iron and more distance driven game-improvement models. The 714’s provided a surprising amount of distance throughout the set in all full swing situations from a Titleist iron and most certainly more than in the AP2 versions before them.  Another important thing to mention in this area however was the consistency. Even with the focus on bringing more distance to the table, Titleist has managed to maintain that consistency with which many amateurs always applaud their irons for. From iron to iron the gapping was spot on with no “grey” areas that could be cause for concern. Although they may not be as long as many of the true “distance” sets out there the 714 AP2 irons are another example of just how far companies have come at creating a nice middle ground in player’s irons.

• Forgiveness/Versatility

The dual cavity design and variable face technology used in the AP2’s are intended to increase MOI across the face (particularly in the longer irons) to maintain as much ball speed as possible on off center hits. The largest portion of forgiveness was actually seen off of the toe as opposed to heel side and lower on the club face. Being that the dominant miss by most amateurs is out on the toe, this was nice to see. However, make no mistake that this is a set of irons that will not be a band-aid for major misses. Even with all of the weight movement and CG positioning companies can devise it has to be remembered that there is only so much forgiveness that can be packed into a player’s style iron like this. That being said, a golfer with a repeatable swing will find ample forgiveness in this sleek package.

One of the benefits to not being a larger more forgiving design is that the irons retain an impressive amount of versatility and opportunity for the precise shots that many associate with the Titleist name. Throughout the set, the irons provided the ability to turn the ball either way as well as flight it up and down as necessary for the varied situations on the course. Additionally, Titleist has employed a sole with a “pre-worn” leading edge and rear bevel that really seem to let the irons take a very clean divot from the short grass, yet still enough to drive through after the ball in the rough. After a lot of time with the irons it is very clear that from a versatility standpoint the 714 AP2’s can hit whatever shot necessary, providing that the user has the technique of course.

One of the major features touted about the AP2 line has always been the fact that they are forged irons and with that comes the connotation by many of “soft feel” on well struck shots. However, Titleist irons, although forged traditionally, have a much more solid sound to them on shots, and the 714 AP2’s are no different in that department. The pitch given off by the irons at impact are more of a click than most pocket cavity irons on the market and will certainly take those who have not hit Titleist irons before by surprise. In no way is it a harsh sound that takes away from the overall feel, but rather it is just a higher pitch than some might expect.  There is still ample feedback given on shots across the face that lets you know when you catch the ball thin, high, toe-side, or heel-side both in the sound and the vibration feedback given to the user.

Parting Thoughts

From an all-around perspective the 714 AP2 irons are yet another solid entry into the players iron segment of the market. With that being said, they are definitely more of a subtle evolution on previous versions rather than being revolutionary. Make no mistake though, along with being some of the best looking irons Titleist has put out, they also offer solid distance with a bit more forgiveness packed in there than we are used to with an iron in this particular profile. The ability to take what works and continue tweaking it over time is something Titleist is well known for and the 714 lines of irons are clearly no different.

The 714 AP2 irons are available in 3-PW and also have an additional gap wedge option as well. More information on the AP2’s can be found at www.titleist.com .

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus

• Description
• Choose date

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

• The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
• The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
• The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
