The Apex Pro looks amazing!!!! :bulgy-eyes: That would be the way to go between the two.

I expected to keep and play my PTx irons forever. Within a week of gaming the Apex Forged those clubs were sold.Yeah I sold my mizunos yesterday, these are getting ordered next Friday.

For those that gamed them in the grandaddy how was the spin on the irons?
thoughts?
I am seeing more spin and action on shots with scoring irons than I've ever seen. After one round I came back and told the guys I might need to change balls because I was getting too much spin.For those that gamed them in the grandaddy how was the spin on the irons?
I loved the distances that I saw with the CF16, but the lack of spin on the 5-6I made it tough to hold greens, combined with the occasional popular "flyer" that people were experiencing as well made them tough to hold on to. Which was a shame cause I enjoyed my time with them for the most part.

I saw one of the guys mentioned the pros spin about 500rpms less than the X-forged. Which really puts these high on my list for irons this year. I’m gonna need to buy a new set for 2019 and I’m liking the pros!

I can only speak to the Pro model but the spin was extremely impressive. I am a very low spin player and I was actually backing some up. The regular version of course have me lower spin during the fitting but I also didn't try it with the shaft I ended up in so that may have helped some.
For me in the 7i:
Xforged - 5500
Apex Pro - 5000
Apex - 3700
Hope that helps and gives you a good idea where the models sit. Fair warning though, I don't generate spin worth a damn so my numbers will be lower than most. Also spin isn't the entire story. For me the Pros have so much speed that they rip to a massive peak height.
The Pros are smaller at address than the Xforged.Good to know, did you notice any huge forgiveness differences between the 2 during your fitting/on course play?
Same as above, thought on forgiveness? And how do the pros look at address to say the x forged (Im a visual guy).
The Pros are smaller at address than the Xforged.
Thinner sole, thinner top line, maybe a shorter blade length too.
I can't speak to the Pro model - it's out of my league and I had a dog poop swing at the fitting, so I didn't even touch the Pros. The Apex Forged irons feel very familiar to me with the PTx. To my eye they are extremely similar profiles. But that said, I never put them side by side to compare (stupid).Coming from the PTx (which I am also currently gaming) - which model fit that shape/offset profile more? What I've been thinking a lot about recently is trying to get something with maybe just a little more help in the 4-5-6 iron range and really staying with something similar to the PTx 7-GW.
Also, for anyone who has been lucky enough to get some early info on these: how are the lofts? Are the blend-able for a combo set?
No, they aren't released yet and we were all scared straight about taking pictures on site.Anyone have pics of the smoke finish?

These irons offer similar to better feel, at least through the 7i (I just have hit the 6i and down very much); 1/2 to full club more distance; and at least equal spin on approach shot with scoring clubs and no isssues with ballooning when playing into wind (as I saw with the PTx's). To me these are an upgrade across the board.

Heads up they are Smoke, not black. Think dark gray. IIRC Its a different process from what was used on the Berthas, too.
