I haven't hit the 718 AP2s, however, I have hit an older model and they are an extremely good feeling club - I can only imagine that the newest clubs feel even better. I tested the AP3s a couple of weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised how well they felt. the AP3s have a stronger loft so if you want to pair them up you will have to have their lofts adjusted to gap your clubs correctly. Also, this was a plus for me, the AP3s do tend to help you get the ball up. I am with you however, I would love to see some tests done between these two clubs. I would also love to see some comparisons between the AP3 and the TM P790s, and the AP2s and the P770s.
