Lofts compared

710 AP2
710 CB

Lofts match on every club the two sets share, so the markers sit on top of each other.

What the differences mean

Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 35° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show. Lie angles and lengths match as well, so any fitting adjustment made to one set would carry straight over to the other.

The sets are built differently: the 710 AP2 runs 3-iron to GW (9 clubs), the 710 CB 2-iron to PW (9 clubs).

Both are players irons, built for roughly scratch to 10 handicaps. Small-to-mid cavity backs with traditional lofts, modest offset and workable shaping for low-handicap players. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.

The 710 AP2 is listed as forged, multi-material dual cavity and the 710 CB as forged cavity back. The 710 AP2 adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.

Both sets were introduced in 2009, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Titleist designed them to sit side by side for different players.

Which should you choose?

The 710 AP2 and 710 CB share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.
