Low-handicap amateurs can try the new Callaway Apex Pro Forged Irons
The Apex Pro is a technology driven iron at heart. The face material is actually the Carpenter 455 material Callaway uses in their X Hot Fairway Woods. Inspired by the general shape and function of the 2013 model of Callaway's X Forged iron, there is one important difference however: The face of the Apex Pro is 17 percent thinner than that of the X Forged. This thin face places Apex Pro in a new flexible-face category, composed of irons intended to provide additional ball speed because of added trampoline effect in the face. Callaway, after extensive research and testing with its staff professionals, decided to bypass aggressive grooves in the Apex Pro. The stock version of the Apex Pro iron contains grooves that create only a moderate amount of spin. In general, less spin means higher trajectory and extra carry distance.
