Titleist AP1, AP2 and AP3 irons: what they're worth today
Titleist's AP irons (714, 716 and 718 generations, 2013 to 2019) were replaced by the T-Series, but they're still everywhere on the used market. Here's how to tell the generations apart and what used sets sell for. Jump to used prices.

AP1 vs AP2 vs AP3
- AP1: the most forgiving, game-improvement cavity back. Replaced by the T300 in 2019.
- AP2: the players' cavity back with tungsten weighting, Titleist's most popular iron for years. Replaced by the T100.
- AP3: new in 2017, a hollow-body iron sized between AP1 and AP2. Only made in the 718 generation. Replaced by the T200.
Check the generation before you buyA 718 AP2 set sells for nearly twice what a 714 or 716 does, so confirm the generation from the seller and compare photos with a known example. The 716 introduced cavity badging styled after Titleist's 915 woods, and the 718 AP3 is the only hollow AP iron.

The 718 generation holds its value well: a 718 AP2 set sells for about $450, close to a 2021 T100 at about $480. Older 714 and 716 AP2 sets sell for about $250. The 718 AP1 figure is based on only four sales, so treat it as rough.
Getting the most when you sell
- Sell the set complete. Sets with consecutive clubs (for example 4–PW) sell for much more than sets with gaps.
- List the exact loft, shaft and flex. Many buyers search by shaft.
- Photograph the faces and soles in daylight. Buyers look for groove wear and sole scratches first.
- Know what you'll keep. Our eBay fee guide shows the math, and trade-in vs selling covers when a trade-in is the better deal.
