Happy days, indeed! Christmas season may be past, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to look forward to: In fact, there is plenty ... as Titleist are rolling out a series of four new sets of irons for 2008 - available in Europe from March 15th - which are aimed at the serious to (let's face it) awesome player.

Titleist's AP1 and AP2 irons should fit well into the bag of a quite good (or as Titleist calls you: "aspiring") player - dual-cavity, multi-material heads that will give tour-like performance to the Above-Average Joe who wants to stripe a few more shots, with the additional benefit of better feel. Try it and see it they're not right. We think they're spot on, really.

For the hotshots amongst us, or those who aspire to that status, Titleist rolls out the ZB Forged iron (a cavity-to-muscle back iron) and ZM Forged iron (tradtional muscle-back). These irons are tailored for the extremely good player: and Titleist confidently suggests that they "anticipate our Tour staff gravitating to the new AP2, ZB and ZMs."

Regardless of where you fit into the range, these irons look great ... and they are designed for "advanced performance you can feel" all the way through the range. They're all made for good players who don't need a lot of help, but Titleist promises that the AP1 will help a 5-9 handicapper bridge the 20-mph swing-speed difference to tour-player speed. And don't forget ... every day gets longer and longer from now until the middle of June!
