I was going to upgrade my AP2 712 to the Ap2 716 irons this year. After seeing the new 716 CB irons with all the technology built in to them I decided on the 716cb's. I have always preferred the cleaner look of a blade iron. I'm also pleased to learn that the 716 CB's offer the same level of forgiveness as the AP2 714 irons - outstanding!! I'm very excited about the new AMT stock shaft offering as well. This 716 CB stock club seems to be the most advanced, high end forging on the market.
