PapaJohick;n8882843 said:got out yesterday for the first time in what seems like a month (more like 2 weeks i think?) Lots of things that i was not doing well, but a few constants that I wanted to mention:
1) The Apex pros are just fun and lovely to hit. Ive always love the more bladed or players CB type style and these have me not missing those irons at all haha (poor Fg 100s in the garage just sitting there).
2) The Apex 4 iron (non pro) just feels awful to me. Im not a fan. Also, it is very low spinning and with my swing style/speed, I cant elevate it well enough nor get it to stop. Basically I have been using it for low punches either to get back in play, hook it around corners, or on par 5 where the 3 wood would be disastrous. I did try to use it once or twice yesterday on a longer par 4/mis hit drives and while I was surprised with the distance, again, its not really useable for me in the way i need it to be. I am probably going to try and call callaway pre-owned to see if maybe i can trade the 4 iron for a GW? who knows.
With that thought, I am in the market for basically an iron replacement there at that 21/22* spot for shots 190ish that will at least get enough height/descent to stop somewhat realistically on a green. Again, I suffer from a downward attack angle/low launch/medium ish spin.... not sure what to look for there haha.

JB;n8884143 said:That is awesome. I only play from 7-PW, but love them. I’m a straight Apex guy over the Pros, but hit both. What made you go combo set?
HGoldwin;n8884565 said:Hi, new to this thread due to searching for a new iron set. Tested several and endid up with the apex pro cf19 as best performance and best feel. When trying on course (only 7i) I got very good length consistency - never more than 2m difference. I hit 5 balls at a time, from peg and fairway. Really pleased with the results.
I tried some shaft options and got best results with the Elevate 95 regular. Here I am a bit puzzled. According to reviews the Elevate 95 regular if for slower swing speed. With 7i my swingspeed is ~84mph with a carry of ~165yards, according to trackman. The ball flight is has a good penetrating flight - no balloning, so I guess it work with my swing which is rather smooth.
Reading a bit about graphite shaft, the Catalyst 100. And my questions is how is the Elevate 95 regular compared to the Catalyst 100 stiff? I am most interested in consistent carry distance and the subject matter feel.
