I will echo you as well.I would echo some of what Dan said. They're both great, so it's going to be personal preference and a little bit of ability, maybe. The Pros are more forgiving imo. I like the sound and feel of the X Forged better, but the feel of the Pros is pretty addicting/satisfying for most people. I hear and feel them in a way most don't seem to care about. Not bad, but definitely there. Distance is going to depend on your swing dynamics and what you need in a head to get the most out of the ball for you. The xfcb can be even lower spinning and longer than the Pros, but if you need the get up^ to get the most out of a your flight the Pros would probably be longer for you. I've mostly enjoyed playing them both.
for a hollow body iron the apex pros are the best out there in terms of feel and sound. But, they are still not a one piece forged club. That is where the x forged steps to the lead in my opinion.
I hit the side by side with the same shaft and I got better numbers over all with the x forged. It was kinda surprising. I didn’t think I would. My friend stepped in and the pros were better for him by far. Why? Not exactly sure. Probably comes down to impact and dynamics..
