Callaway has brought back the Apex series with their latest set of irons to be released on the market. The 2019 series offers two different iron models in order to suit the game of any skill level. These new clubs have been well received by the golf community and publications like Golf Digest. In the past decade, Callaway has earned the credibility that puts them near the top of the industry when it comes to golf club technology. I was impressed with the completely customizable iron options on their website. Their website also features an “Iron Selector Tool” which will help you determine which irons will best suit your game by asking you a series of questions. The new Callaway Apex irons are arguably at the top of the industry for the 2019 season.
First in the series comes the Apex 19 irons which is the player iron of this series. It’s only appropriate to mention one specific stat right away, the Apex 19 iron was the only one to be rated 20/20 on Golf Digest’s Hot List for 2019. This is a huge accomplishment and it backs Callaway’s claims about the quality of this iron. According to Callaway, this iron provides the experienced player with soft feel with long and consistent distance. Also, they will experience optimum ball flight and playability.
This clubhead has a sharp look with a classic steel finish and black slot on the back. You also have the option to purchase the Smoke version which has a matte black finish. Callaway’s website allows you to full customize the set by offering a variety of shafts, grips, and set makeups. This makes it convenient for those golfers who know exactly what they feel comfortable with. Another unique feature is the ability to choose your lie angle with options from the flat to three up. The series allows for you to choose from a three iron all the way to an approach wedge.
The other iron that Callaway released in this set is called the Apex Pro. The Pro version is a tour performance iron and boasts a sharp forged look. This model also won gold awards on Golf Digest’s Hot List and Callaway claims it is developed with advanced distance technologies. This iron is not designed for the high handicap. Instead, it’s made for those players who want the benefits of a tour iron without sacrificing ball speed or distance.
The design of this iron is similar to the previously mentioned Apex but has a thinner topline and no back slot on the back. The Apex Pro is a solid steel and matte grey finish unless you order the Smoke version which is again, matte black. Callaway offers the same customization options for this model as they did for the standard Apex. This means the player can choose their shafts, grips, and even lie angles. The club options for the Pro is the same as the previously mentioned model, three iron to approach wedge.
If you are a mid to low handicap player who is due for a new set of irons, you may want to consider the Callaway Pro series. Callaway has continued their hot streak with this release and they have quickly risen to the top of charts. Being the only set of irons to be given 20/20 on Golf Digest’s Hot List is an impressive stat and it proves they’re onto something. The starting price of these irons on Callaway’s website is $1,400 but will vary depending on the customization options that you decide on. If you are looking for a player’s iron, Callaway might have the answer for you.
