So, for a little background, I've been away from the game for about 5 years. Got the bug a couple of weeks ago and hit the driving range a couple of times. As you can probably guess, the game has it's claws tightly back into me.
Well, with my love rekindled, I began to add some things to my watch list on ebay. One of the things on that list was a set of Callaway Apex forged irons. Now, I'm not a low handicap player. The look of the Apex Irons certainly appealed to me. Unbeknownst to me, these irons (from what I gather) are geared toward a lower handicap player (which I certainly am not). No big deal, I figured, I'll just keep looking. Well, surprise, surprise, it appears that my wife took it upon herself to get into the auction action and actually won these clubs for me (she's been on me for a month for a Father's Day gist idea).
For a little insight into my "game", I was playing (and still own/hit) the first iteration of the Callaway Fusion (not the FT models) irons and I would break 100 maybe once out of every 5 outings (I was one of the few in the group of guys I played with that actually counted ALL of his strokes).
So here's my question: Are these clubs actually more forgiving than those old Fusions or am I going to be taking a step backwards with this Apex Iron set. Thanks in advance to all responses
On a side note: Any old Ham and Egg posters on this site? It's been a while since I've visited any golf forums.
