My initial reaction to all this would be regular apex with recoils, I feel like the CB3s I currently game should be in the same ball park of what's needed for my game forgiveness wise and the Apex CF technology should get us there

It shall be considered
Man, this is the first full night of sleep I've had since finding out I was in the Grandaddy. And of course these are announced today. What a cool post to wake up too. I'm super stoked about the Apex CF irons. I'm in love with my current Apex set, I cannot wait to try these out. Only fitting that the Apex get bumped out of the bag by their big brother. And the hybrids really really have my interest as well!
Grandaddy induced insomnia is real!
That would be my preference. I love the Apex/Recoil combo I have in my current set.

Man, all of my pondering up to this point just got blown out of the water! I guess I'll have to spend a bunch more time on here and Callaway's website looking at options... such a burden! 
I can't wait to check out these new options.

So... Today has been awesome. I can totally see a 5-GW in the Apex with the Apex hybrid providing a 4I replacement.
Also yesterday:
Went to the gym to get some cardio and ab work in and then drove over to the range for a 90 minute session. I spent 30 on the range, 30 in the short game area, and 30 putting. It was a really solid day for me. I felt like I struck the ball pretty darn well. I really worked on visualizing the shot, and making sure I was getting my swing started on the right path. I hit about 10 drivers at the end of my session and 8 of them would be what I would consider solid. I have really struggled off the tee this year, so it is going to be a big focus of mine.
Next I moved to the short game area. It is really just a green surrounded by some rough where you can hit anything from 10-12 yards and in. I moved around the green at varying distances. Hitting to different targets with different flights and clubs. Short game is something I am really going to work hard on. It is one of my weaknesses, and I know in match play it can beat someone to death.
Finally I moved to the green. Spent 30 minutes putting to various flags at different distances. Finished up with the around the world drill from 5 feet. Took me 3 times before I got all of them to go in.
All in all a great session. My plan is to do some variation of this twice a week as long as the weather allows, and when it gets cold I have a heated range to hit balls and chip at, and then putting will be done inside on the birdie ball.

If the rest of the team works 1/2 as hard as you, I think you guys will be in good shape!
Love it. Your post definitely helps motivate me more.
I'm in the same boat. Plan on really putting in work for the next two months. I have planned one hour short game practice tomorrow morning before work, as long as the rain holds up. Hoping to do this at least 3 days before work. The other two being fitness/cardio. All the while knowing my Team Redemption brothers are putting in the same work!

Yep I will be playing at least once this weekend and course management is my big focus. My cap can get a bit lower, but I know I am capable of being a 10 or lower just by managing my rounds better

Not like you guys need any additional motivation but today's releases have to pump you guys up! So much to look forward to and so much to do in the next two months. You guys are already killing it, keep it up!

I'm not focused so much on lowering my cap, but practicing & playing so I have a complete understanding of my game and what I'm bringing to the table. This includes my typical miss so I can adjust and mange the course....I want to be on auto pilot on the course and enjoy it all and not grind over shots.

My focus also isn't about lowering the cap. I know I have to work on keeping my drive in the fairway, especially after hearing about how penal the rough is at The Hideaway. Also, just working in my short game in general, pitching chipping and putting. Also, with winter coming in lovely Ohio, I want to make sure I have a plan in place to keep my game tuned in.

Dude I've imagined my bag a thousand different times by now... I have an idea of the make up, but the shafts for my woods is where I will heavily lean on the experts to maximize my distance and dispersion.
Agreed. Iron shafts are something I am not set on either. Have gamed the Recoil 110s and the Tour Vs and the Tour 120s. Not sure where I am going to go with that.
Man you guys got it good! Looking forward to everyone's take on the fitting and especially the new gear. That definitely takes it up a notch.

Thats a good looking bag and almost exactly what I got last year! Knowing Callaway, I would imagine there might be a couple more surprises before December.

Quoting to try and lock down plans for this. I know Taylor and Colin said it would work, anyone else (JMan?) Interested or able to make it work?
