One of the most notable growth areas for irons in recent years has been the “players performance” category. Favored by those seeking maximum help and playability stealthily wrapped up in a classic, tour-shaped disguise, models like the Taylormade P770 and the Titleist T150 have proved to be some of the best golf irons of this type. With the introduction of the 2024 Apex Pro iron, Callaway has placed a new option in this space.
Callaway tells us that the 2024 Apex Pro iron boasts a sleek and elegant design, combining classic aesthetics with modern sophistication. For the first time ever in an Apex iron, a hollow body construction pairs a forged face with a forged 1025 carbon steel body to deliver a softer feel than its predecessor the 2021 Callaway Apex Pro iron. The 2024 Apex Pro iron features a progressive face design in an attempt to provide higher ball speed in the long irons and more precision through the short irons. The 3,4 and 5 iron have Callaway's Forged 455 face cup to bolster ball speed and forgiveness whereas from 6 iron through to wedge, features a forged 1025 face plate which gives a slightly softer feel. In terms of how this manifests itself in performance, I found the feel difference between the two to be subtle, but it is there.
