Luke Williams, senior director of global irons and woods strategy, said: “Our Tour players were at the heart of this pure and forged muscle iron. During the R&D process, we discussed every detail of what makes a great iron for them, what they love now, and even what they loved in the past. "

Callaway engineers have paid particular attention to positioning the center of gravity in the Apex MB to create a ball flight preferred by Tour players, while maintaining more traditional lofts that meet the needs of top golfers who are in phase. with spacing and consistency.

Each wrought iron from a single piece of 1025 carbon steel is engineered to provide a remarkably smooth feel, with a craftsmanship and precision that can only be achieved with Callaway's Triple Net Forging process which allows get a "V" grooved, to provide consistent control and shaping, for peak precision.

"To create a club with the shortest blade length and smallest head of the current Callaway range, Apex MB is shamelessly designed for the type of player who seeks maximum maneuverability and has very specific needs for how the club interacts with the grass "added Luke.

X Forged irons

With a clean and classic look to address, the new X Forged irons are engineered for high performance and exceptional feel through a precise Triple Net forging process.

The X Forged irons also feature a similar, precise and aggressive 20V groove pattern than the Apex MB, made possible through the forging process, promoting high levels of control and spin out of all playing conditions, while maintaining the clean and classic look at address , inspired by some of Callaway's most popular forged irons.

Compared to the Apex MB, the X Forged is more forgiving with a slightly longer blade and a slightly larger head size, to give confidence to Tour players and accomplished amateurs alike.

Luke Williams commented: “The X Forged isn't as intimidating in-game as the Apex MB and is for golfers who prefer the feel of a one-piece forging, with a little extra forgiveness. We have already had good feedback from Tour players who have been particularly positive about this feeling. "
