Which recoil did you go for and what is your SS ?
No but my wife can, and when she looks in our hall closet and sees four full sets of clubs each in their own golf bag, let's just say she knows every club in there. Think she took inventory one day, i am sure of it.
Now when it comes to my other pricey activity, i am lucky she does not go rooting around in my gun safe.
I am surprised to hear this in part as i figuring the forging would reduce the chances of hot spots. I have tried clubs before that i steered away from, because of large distance gaps.
I was able to stand over a 125 yard shot and know that it was a 9i, not hope that the 9i isn't all jacked up on Mountain Dew and ready to come at the ball like a spider monkey.
I'm going to be in the minority on this, but I didnt like the recoils when I tested them. They felt too light. I might give the 95 or 110 a chance. They look cool

I just received my lefty Apex with 660 f3 recoils , sweet looking sticks but the recoils shafts just feel too lite for me . I can't feel the head though my swing .
I am going to send them back , not giving up on the Apex but I going to get fitted in the spring to see what shaft is best for me . Mean while I will stick with my x-hot pros with px 95 flighted shafts , which is seems to be a nice combo for me ,great sticks as well.

Both. I went to an outdoor range that was heated and saw a lot of the same. Sometimes it goes the right distance, other times it flies the target by a good distance. I wasn't catching it thin on these either. These were shots dead center and feel amazing, but then they just go forever. The launch monitor was more of the same. It got problematic with the 9i and PW especially.
I loved the feel of these and can see where the distance and forgiveness can really benefit a lot. However, where my game is right now and where it's heading these aren't right for me at this time.
This is really interesting to me. I am going to reach out to a designer on this one, because I have not seen this at all, and not heard of a single player at the "higher" level seeing it.
Could it be that you just really pured one and the rest you were just missing since hitting off of mats? (Im guessing on the mats thing).
If it were just one, JB, I would probably think just that. But this was common place as time went on. The mats I hit off are the thick ply matts that swallow your club on a fat shots. So it wasn't a drop kick situation or the common mat problem of the club sliding into impact.
I'm not going to 100% dismiss your theory as I think there is the ball striking part of it that might be part of it. I have been taking lessons for a while and my ball striking in the last 2 months has gotten much much better. So what could be the case, and part of what you said, is that I am just making better contact now and was seeing the true benefits of these irons. But with that being said, the gap between a miss that feels good and a pure shot distance wise was too much for me and I couldn't tell the difference. I see the same thing when I've hit the regular Bio Cell irons. If that makes sense?
I had issues with these early on with distance (mentioned some where in this thread) and it was because hitting the ball a few grooves low. The problem then was that the mishits felt just as good as the good shots.
I loved these irons from the moment I hit them back in November, they are really well engineered and I can't say anything bad about them. But as I'm trying to improve my game I like to feel my misses and know that I hit a bad shot. The Apex Pros give me that kind of feedback and feel, but I can't shell out another $1100 for irons. At least not without my wife kicking me out of the house after she snaps every club in half.

I'm with JB as I do not believe "hot spots" exist - have not seen them in any fittings either and I have hit them a lot. However, I will see a low spin missile once in awhile on my swings and in a few fittings which usually appear to be on shots just low of the sweet spot (which seems counterintuitive). For me as a picker, they are not a great match for this reason (no matter how much I like them from the top line).
I'm not disagreeing with either of you guys. It could be 100 things that I'm not aware of. Our swings sound similar in that I'm a bit of a picker too. I think these clubs are so forgiving that it's hard to feel those shots just a little low. And thinking back to the fitting I did last week, those distance hogs were a bit low on the spin side. Tough to tell that on the outdoor range when you're hitting into snow. In my fitting, the Apex actually scored lower than I thought. It was the Bio Cell +, Adams forged XTD, TM Tour Preferred CBs, Apex Pro, AP1, Covert Forged, AP2, ACP, Apex, X2 Hot Pro.
Rap-a-tap Tappin' on my SG4
I've been most surprised by how much distance I get from mishits. Yesterday, I had a couple thin shots that just drew a couple yards extra and ended up about five yards short of target. Pretty impressive.
Of course, I also learned that hitting about four inches behind the ball still significantly affects distance.
I need to try these, anybody have some they want to send to Texas?
The overwhelming positive thoughts on these have me itching to try them in addition to the first interview we heard with Harry about them.
Can you be here by tomorrow morning?
You can play my set (with shafts that you would love) for the full round.
Dude, have had my eyes in that thread all day. If I did not have my kids this weekend, I would be there. Unfortunately that does you no good for tomorrow.
