What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 718 AP1 is 30° and the T300 is 29°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the T300 should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 718 AP1. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the T300 averages 0.6° stronger, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (21° vs 20°).
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. 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 718 AP1 is listed as cast, hollow-body long irons with undercut cavity mid and short irons and the T300 as hollow-body cast with Max Impact internal support. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.
The T300 arrived 2 years after the 718 AP1, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 30° to 29°.
Which should you choose?
The T300 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the 718 AP1 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
