The Titleist 718 AP1 is a game-improvement iron announced in August 2017, with a 30-degree 7-iron according to National Club Golfer. We confirmed the 4-iron (21 degrees), 7-iron, pitching wedge (43) and the 48 and 53 degree wedges, but not a full table, so this page lists only what we verified. See the iron specs and lofts hub for models with full tables.

Golf.com quotes slightly different launch prices ($140 steel, $165 graphite per club); we use Titleist's own. Golfalot says the 4 and 5 irons are a cast 17-4 stainless steel hollow body with a welded steel face insert, and that the lofts are a degree stronger in the 4 to 9 irons than the previous generation. We did not verify lie, length, offset or bounce from a source we trust.
