Titleist AP1 (714) Iron Loft Chart

The Titleist AP1 (714) iron set is a modern traditional iron set built around a 32° 7 iron and a 44° pitching wedge. Factory lofts span 23° to 52° across 9 clubs, with gaps ranging from 3° to 4° through the set.

The bars place the whole set on one iron-loft scale. That makes the progression from long-iron distance lofts into scoring and wedge lofts easier to see without making small gaps look artificially huge.

What stands out: The spacing varies from 3° to 4°. The biggest jump is between 7-iron and 8-iron, which is the part of the progression most likely to create a noticeably larger carry change.
32° 7-iron profileThis is a strong-lofted 7-iron by loft. That is the useful number to compare against another iron set—not just the club number stamped on the sole.
Gapping patternLoft spacing runs from 3° to 4° and widens noticeably toward the scoring clubs. This matters when checking for distance overlap or a large carry jump.
After the 44° PWA sensible first check for the next wedge is roughly 48°–50°. That is not a fitting rule, but it flags whether a 50°, 52° or other wedge is likely to leave an unusually small or large loft gap.
Practical takeaway: When comparing AP1 (714) with another iron, compare the same numbered iron first. A 32° 7-iron can be materially different from another 7-iron that is several degrees stronger or weaker, even before head design is considered.

How each AP1 (714) Iron loft changes the shot

Club Loft What that loft changes
4-iron 23° At 23° this remains on the distance side of the set. The loft keeps flight stronger and flatter than the scoring clubs, so carry consistency matters more than the number stamped on the sole.
5-iron 26° At 26° this remains on the distance side of the set. The loft keeps flight stronger and flatter than the scoring clubs, so carry consistency matters more than the number stamped on the sole. The gap from the previous club is 3°.
6-iron 29° At 29° this is the set’s central control zone. It gives a good read on how aggressively the set is lofted and how much height versus distance the design is asking for. The gap from the previous club is 3°.
7-iron 32° At 32° this is the set’s central control zone. It gives a good read on how aggressively the set is lofted and how much height versus distance the design is asking for. A 32° 7-iron puts this set in the strong loft category. The gap from the previous club is 3°. The next step changes to 4°, so this is a transition point worth checking with real carry numbers.
8-iron 36° At 36° this is into scoring-iron territory. More loft here should increase launch, spin and descent angle, helping the ball stop faster as approach distances shorten. The gap from the previous club is 4°.
9-iron 40° At 40° this is into scoring-iron territory. More loft here should increase launch, spin and descent angle, helping the ball stop faster as approach distances shorten. The gap from the previous club is 4°.
PW 44° At 44° this sits at the wedge end of the stock set. The loft is increasingly about trajectory, stopping power and distance control rather than raw carry. The gap from the previous club is 4°.
W 48° At 48° this sits at the wedge end of the stock set. The loft is increasingly about trajectory, stopping power and distance control rather than raw carry. The gap from the previous club is 4°.
W2 52° At 52° this sits at the wedge end of the stock set. The loft is increasingly about trajectory, stopping power and distance control rather than raw carry. The gap from the previous club is 4°.

The 32° 7-iron makes this a strong-lofted set. The 44° pitching wedge is the key checkpoint for the transition into specialty wedges. The most useful test is still real carry spacing, because equal loft gaps do not always create equal yardage gaps.

Titleist AP1 (714) loft FAQs

What lofts does the Titleist AP1 (714) come in?

The listed factory lofts are 23°, 26°, 29°, 32°, 36°, 40°, 44°, 48° and 52°.

What is the loft range of the AP1 (714)?

It runs from 23° to 52°, a total span of 29°.

Are the AP1 (714) iron lofts strong or traditional?

The 7-iron is 32°, which puts the set in the strong loft range.

What wedge loft fits after the AP1 (714) pitching wedge?

The pitching wedge is 44°. A practical starting point is usually about 4° to 6° more loft, then refine it using actual carry gaps.

Are the AP1 (714) loft gaps even?

The listed gaps vary from 3° to 4°, so the progression is not perfectly uniform.

Spec & fitting disclaimer: Loft can vary by year, region, handedness or custom setup. Adjustable hosels and bending can also change playing loft. Verify your exact club before adjusting or ordering replacements.
