Callaway says that the new Apex CB irons are designed for the most discerning tour pros and elite ball-strikers. With a new forged construction, they are promising pure feel, precise shot-making, and workability. This is something I was keen to put to the test.
The first thing I noticed about the Apex CB iron is the sleek and stylish design. I really feel that Callaway has managed to strike a great balance between a classic look while also leaving little clues and nods to modern innovation. The clubhead boasts a pleasingly slim profile and a thin topline, giving it a clean and elegant appeal that I very much enjoyed. The combination of the understated satin finish and the minimal offset adds to the overall aesthetic, making these irons one of the most visually appealing I have seen in a long time. I particularly enjoyed the very subtle Callaway logo on the back of the club which is somewhat disguised in the same tone as the rest of the head but gives off a really classy, premium visual.

These irons are absolutely dripping in shelf appeal.

Whatever, they have done from a technology standpoint, it certainly works, these sit amongst some of the best Callaway irons I…
