M2 irons (2017)
The second M2 generation, identified by the manufacturer's Face Slot design and fin-style cavity badge.

M4 irons (2018)
The 2018 M4 generation. Its familiar 28.5° 7-iron loft does not make it the same head as an M2.

AP1 irons (710)
The 710 generation of the AP1 family. The generation code is part of the identity, rather than a confirmed manufacture date.

AP2 irons (712)
The 712 generation of AP2, with a 35° 7-iron and a 47° pitching wedge in the standard table.

Understanding lie angle
Learn the difference between upright and flat, and why a factory lie angle is a reference rather than a fitting verdict.
A practical checklist for used irons
Confirm the generation, inspect the actual set and ask the questions a factory specification table cannot answer.
How to check golf club length
Record a repeatable measurement and avoid mixing shaft length, playing length and different measuring methods.

Common Golf Club Questions
A little context before you rely on a specification chart
How do I identify my iron generation?
Match the model name and the generation. Compare the cavity badge, face and hosel with the manufacturer source linked on each record. Names such as M2 are reused; a replaced shaft or grip cannot establish the generation. Read the used iron checklist →
Do factory specifications describe my used clubs?
They describe the original published build. Custom orders, bending, shortening and reshafting may have changed a used set. An actual measurement is the way to check its current loft, lie and length. Learn about measuring length →
Will two 7-irons with the same loft go the same distance?
Loft alone does not establish carry distance. Head design, shaft, strike, swing speed and delivery also matter. Use the numbers as a reference, rather than a distance or fitting promise. Understand golf club loft →
Know the source behind the numbers
Every model record links to a manufacturer page or original specification sheet, with its generation and build context.
