Lofts compared

Forged 755
AP2 (2008)

Lofts differ on 3 of the 8 clubs the two sets share. A lower point is a stronger loft.

What the differences mean

At the 7-iron, the Forged 755 is 35° and the AP2 (2008) is 35°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the AP2 (2008) averages 0.4° stronger, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (22° vs 21°).

The sets are built differently: the Forged 755 runs 2-iron to PW (9 clubs), the AP2 (2008) 3-iron to W (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 Forged 755 is listed as forged and the AP2 (2008) as forged, multi-material dual cavity. The AP2 (2008) adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.

The AP2 (2008) arrived 2 years after the Forged 755, 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.

Which should you choose?

The AP2 (2008) is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the Forged 755 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
