Callaway Apex CF 16 Irons Review Thread
That seems high to me. But then again I haven't looked at the graphite options. Paying $375 out of pocket for a brand new set of these is awesome though
It's not high I don't believe. I think 8 clubs (4-AW or 5-SW in this case) would be $1300+ I believe for graphite.
Yeah, it was worth it for me and I love graphite but may look at steel with inserts next set after the discussion with DB.
A 4-AW set with stock steel is $1199 so $150/club so really only $25/club upgrade for graphite.

The steel MAP is $150 per club on the apex, $25 for the graphite doesn't seem out of line.

It's a hard pill to swallow but all new clubs seem to be right in this price range

The key is to play your last set of irons for 20 years. Now I can justify the price by diving it by 20. This set of irons only costs $55/year :banana:
Ok that's not too bad. I was gonna say, I didn't think these were too crazy

I hit the original apex 6 iron today, 170 yards consistently with miss hits at 160. My current 6 iron is 160 or 165 if I pure it. Can't tell if it's the xp95 giving me more head speed or the club. It felt great though! I will be getting the cf16s With pxi's in a couple weeks!

You know what is awesome?
These effing irons.
You know what is more awesome?
These effing irons fit to my freaking needs with insanely good for me PXi's in them thanks to #TheGrandaddy, Callaway, and THP.
Seriously though, its like coming home. Broken record sounding or not, I don't care, because its true. More than that though, I am AMAZED at the flight I get with the PXi 6.5's in them. Had my monitor out today to check out a few other things (reviews and tinkers) and grabbed the 8i, 34y peak height with 169 yard carry....silly, seriously just silly. Proceeded to work through the set from there and what was supposed to be a 20 minute stop by the range and hit a few woods session turned into an hour and a half. I legitimately hit a high ball with these and it glorious. More than that, the spin is low enough for my steep nature (its getting better with lessons) and the descent leaves no issues throwing shots at targets. Heel side doesn't mean death, toe side is better than the OG Apex which is silly, and low on the face I have seen LITERALLY only one other set on the market that compares.
Call it gushing, call it whatever the heck you want, these are silly good irons. Silly good.

With my results today, can't imagine what the cup face will do for me. I think I am going to have to drop my 4 and 3 hybrids and bring back the 4 iron. Really excited for this year, it's been 5 or so years since I had new irons.

Good luck dude. Cup face or not, you couldn't pay me to go back to a long iron with what hybrids offer today. I consider myself a pretty good ballstriker with irons, but I am supremely happy that I dropped the 4i AND the 5i.

So I've had these irons for roughly 4 weeks now. First off, I love 'em. Primarily the look is very appealing to me, feel is very good imo and I have decent control on moving the ball with them without issue.
However, one thing was an issue. I ordered them 1/2" long, standard loft and 2* upright, KBS Tour-V110's. The clubs I received were a mishmash or incorrect lie and loft angles from Callaway (only the 7i was spot on correct on everything). I was curious why my 4-5-6 irons had about a 10-15 yard gap between them, turns out there was about a 3.5-4.0* difference in loft between my 4 to my 6. Most everything was just off by 1.0-1.5* so my guy quickly bent them to spec (a guy I trust who uses a quality machine). The small difference in lie angle on a few clubs may not have made a huge difference since I'm not perfect and can't tell you if it was the lie angle or me, but I feel a lot more confident over them knowing for sure they're perfectly to spec. The big change was now I have a proper gapping between my 4, 5 and 6 irons. Now, I should have done this right when I got them probably, so mea culpa on that. I'll have 'em rechecked midseason and at the end of the season. Still, A+ on the clubs Callaway, just a bit more help needed on the QC coming out of El Mexico.

I've always been a hybrid user but I am going to have to take a hard look at the 4 iron when I get the set.
