The Titleist AP2 is one of the most iconic players' cavity back irons ever made — a benchmark for the category from its introduction in 2008 through multiple generations (714, 716, 718) before Titleist transitioned to the T-series in 2019. The AP2 targets low-to-mid handicappers who want genuine forged feel with modest forgiveness.
The AP2 has a passionate following in Australia, particularly the 714 and 716 generations, which many players regard as peak AP2 with ideal tungsten weighting and a classic shape. Prices by generation vary significantly — the 718 is the most recent and most valuable, while the 714 still commands respect as a genuine performance iron.
The AP2 is the club that converted many Australian amateurs from game-improvement to players' irons. The 716 is my personal favourite generation — the shape, weighting and feel are exceptional. If you're buying a 714 or 716, you're not getting a compromise. You're getting a classic. I'd rather play a mint 716 than a worn 718 any day.

The AP2 is one of the most heavily customised used irons in Australia — serious amateurs consistently reshaft:
Australian prices consistently run 15–25% above FX-converted US and UK equivalents. Use this table to verify that a listing is priced correctly for the AU market.
| Condition | PGA VG (USD) | → AUD | Golfbidder (GBP) | → AUD | AU private sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Like new (718) | ~$520 | ~$806 | ~£445 | ~$868 | $900–$1,200 |
| Good (718) | ~$400 | ~$620 | ~£345 | ~$673 | $720–$900 |
| Good (716) | ~$300 | ~$465 | ~£260 | ~$507 | $580–$720 |
| Good (714) | ~$220 | ~$341 | ~£190 | ~$371 | $440–$560 |
Australian used prices are higher than international equivalents due to lower supply, higher import costs on new equipment, and limited price transparency. This is real and structural — not seller optimism. If a listing is at FX-converted US levels, that is a genuine deal.
Selling: Facebook Marketplace and the Golf Clubs For Sale Australia group are the fastest platforms for popular models. List at the top of your price range with "offers welcome". eBay AU gives broader national reach but charges 12–14% in fees — factor this into your asking price.
Buying: For popular models, don't rush. The AU used market for mainstream clubs is well-stocked and most listings are priced optimistically. An offer 10–15% below asking on a well-priced listing is a reasonable opening position. Always ask for photos of the face, sole, hosel and shaft label before committing.
