Callaway Apex irons are in the shop! What golfers are ordering CUSTOMIZED at fairwaygolfusa.com

Still wondering what irons you want to play?

 

I personally recommend the Callaway APEX irons which hit the store floors today!

 

Look!  It's simple, soft curves around the edges

(makes the club look smaller than it actually is)

 

Tungsten inserts in the longer irons to promote higher ball flight

(if you are getting roll with mid to long irons, you are not getting enough trajectory!  Tungsten weighting will help)

 

Mid size head with a Hot face

(Ball will jump off the face.  You can feel it!)

 

Profile that gives you confidence!

(don't be too hard on yourself, get clubs that give you confidence!)

 

Now all you have to do is get customized!

New Callaway APEX irons - XP95 or Recoil 680? by the numbers

New Callaway is going to hit the retail floor tomorrow at your favorite golf shop and at Fairway Golf Shop.

 

 

We did receive our irons for stock and ready to go!

 

I pulled out #6 irons with XP95 and Recoil 600 Series Stiff flex to do some number comparison.

 

 

XP95 is a new shaft from True Temper designed with optimized step patterns and weighting to give you a high trajectory and explosive distance.

 

This it the number that I got on the Callaway Apex iron XP95 steel shaft with stiff flex:

 

CPM:  303

Swingweight:  D-2

Total Weight:  415grams

 

 

 

The UST Recoil shaft is a shaft designed to take full advantage of the ovalization of the shaft during loading of the shaft.  It uses the ovalization and un-ovalization of the shaft during the swing to transfer that energy to the golf ball for more distance.

 

 

 

This is the numbers that I got on the Callaway APEX iron with Recoil 600 series graphite shaft with stiff flex shaft:

 

CPM: 306

Swingweight:  D-1

Total Weight:  385grams

 

I had a chance to test these out couple of months ago at the Callaway Performance Center at Callaway headquarters.

 

My choice is the Recoil Stiff flex.

 

(I currently use the 105 gram Mizuno Tour Exsar Graphite shaft)

 

Even though the Recoil shaft is 30 grams lighter (in the stiff flex), I did not feel the club was too light!

 

I could not tell whether it was the 455 carpenter steel shaft that produced the initial ball speed or the Recoil ovalization effect but I did get great yardage.

 

With many clubs featuring the hot steel face on their irons, this year is going to be a year when golfers increase distance on the irons!

 

You might see pros hitting 200 yards with a #7 iron (which some already do)

 

Apex irons are also available with your favorite shafts and grips.

Customized lie angle, hard or soft stepping is not problem.

 

fairwaygolfusa.com has the customizing options for you:

Callaway New Apex Forged irons - custom choices and JD predictions

I am sure that many have heard that the new Callaway Apex irons are coming.

 

There seems to be a lot of questions regarding how it compares against the current 2013 X Forged irons that has been on the market for a while.

 

 

Frist of all, the Apex Irons are a completely different category of irons compared to the X Forged.  It does not replace the X Forged irons.

 

Yes, it is a forged iron but made of multi material construction.

1020 carbon steel body

455 carpenter steel  (Hot face)

Polymer insert

 

 

It combines feel, distance and forgiveness.

You asked for it, and here it is!

 

 

The irons in 2014 is about distance.  That is one of the reason that many like the new Japanese equipment like EPON and Yonex.

 

It is the HOOOOOT face that launches the ball far.  Very far.

 

Some may argue that irons are not about hitting it long.

But once you hit the #7 iron to where you normally hit the #6 iron, you can never go back.

 

 

The Apex irons are very forgiving.

The Hot Face launches the ball far.

The forged materials gives you that precise feedback for your solid shots and your not so solid shots.

 

There are many custom options as always and at fairwaygolfusa.com, we recommend getting customized to fit your swing.

 

Custom Lie Angle

Custom Loft Settings

Length

Shaft

Grip

 

is key to hitting the shot that you imagine.

I have seen it, I have hit it, I like it

 

My predictions for popular specifications is as follows:

 

set make-up: 5-9P (6 pc set)

• Since because of the hot face, many would want to know how far the #5 iron will fly before they make their decision on the #4 iron.
• yes #4 iron is available individually just in case you want to add to the set

Shaft:  UST Recoil 660 for graphite and NS Pro 990

• For this type of club, many will be looking for a easy to swing set up
• Shaft selection on this irons will be generally on the lighter side
• UST Recoil 660 feels solid (this would be my choice)
• Nippon shaft steel quality is the best and the NS Pro 990 which is a proprietary shaft for Callaway comes in Uniflex (Almost a stiff) is best for the average golfers
• For the hard hitters out their, NS Pro Modus 130 Tour would give you good control with less dispersion

Grips:  not on the option but we do get many requests for Iomic grips (which fairwaygolfusa.com can offer for an additional charge)

• for specific grip requests, please email cs@fairwaygolfusa.com

 

Your 2014 golf game starts now!
