Callaway Apex Irons Review Thread

SuperStroke
My experiment with them is over. Going back to the TM 2.0 shovels. These apex with the 680 F 4 are just too light a shaft for me.

Why not just change the shaft?

Simple, swap em out! They're too good to be abandoned. Otherwise, you might get a certain Canadan visitor at your door knocking it down for some Apex love.

if u want to move those, you would have several takers (including myself)....
 
Didn't think of the tape. But, I left the the 2.0 for MP-64 with Project 5.5 and returned to shovels and thought these apex were the ticket for me but guess I am a chopper at heart. Put green iomic grips 4-pw about 3 weeks worth of use on em

Finally hit these the other day at a demo day at the range. I will now be selling my xHot's to get these. They should call these irons butter for how smooth they are

Do you need someone to transport this between Jman and you? I could pick it up on my way through T town.
 
I'm a big fan of the KBS Tour V, just wish I had gone with an x flex rather than stiff.
 
Soft stepping my CTL's into these was a really really good move for me. May not be internet golfer worthy on the rebar scale, but the results don't lie. Really nice launch that I have looked for for a long time now, granted lessons and dedication to swinging correctly plays a role there, but man I can hit some towering shots into greens now. These irons are just a lot of fun for me.

How much difference are you seeing from the other shafts that were in before? I know the CLT just fits you well.

Dude, you DEFINITELY put a solid enough cut on the ball to justify X!!! I'm surprised it's even a thought!

I had no idea you soft stepped my friend!! That's a great move.

5 yards, they're actually a bit higher for me than the XP95 R's were believe it or not, not sure if they just fit me better form a load perspective or what, odds are its a lot a spin thing too. Higher but no wind issues, just a hell of a setup for me.

Yep, and odds are 95% of people I get to try them wouldn't have any clue about it.

I would have no clue. Wouldn't if they were hard stepped either.

You should have seen my dad's face when I told him the recoils I have are 125g. He about lost his mind. #Perceptions

I had to reassure him the weight on the Tour V, and honestly I cannot wait to start gaming a shaft in that weight class. It absolutely blows my mind hitting them.
 
Man, seeing others that stepped (hard/soft) the shafts in their irons makes me want mine even sooner. I ordered 5-pw with Recoil 95 F3 hardstepped. Hopefully they will do the work. Can't wait to see what they're like compared to my 680 F4.
 
I demo'd a handful of balls with this club, some with the Recoils and some with the steel shafts. Boy, what a solid iron. Feel wasn't as nice as my DPCs and the shape was different from what I'm use to seeing, but dang was I getting some crazy and easy trajectory and distance with an 8i. The steel shaft was solid, but I think I preferred the Recoils.
 
Got my 8-AW the other day and today picked them up today after getting them re-shafted. Got the Apex's with the SteelFiber i95's. Will be bringing them to the range today for their maiden voyage.
