nearly no distance lost on toes is crazy. The original Apex were solid in that aspect, hard to believe they improved on an already forgiving iron. Very intriguing.
There is one example that stands out from all others. At a par 3 that was 165 yards and that is firmly my 6 iron. I can muscle a 7 iron there or take a tiny bit off my 6 iron (its my 170 club). The pin was towards the back and it was playing 171, but it was only 9 feet away from the back edge, so going long was not the right play. Small wind in our face, so I opted for the 6 iron and at impact I knew i caught it on the toe. Ball mark on the face showed that I was correct. Fully expected to get to the green and see about a 30 foot putt left (10 yards short) and be on the front/middle of the green.
When we rolled up there I was about 15-17 feet away and only short of the pin by about 2 yards (5-6 feet). There was no roll out as the pitch mark was still behind the ball, so not only did I end up with similar distance, I did not see a spin zap that would have led to a knuckling of sorts. All in all, just a fantastic reminder during the round of what kind of club I was dealing with.
