Callaway’s latest versions of its Apex and Apex Pro irons are more different than just their constructions.

While both feature elements of forged 1025 carbon steel, the Apex is a multipiece technological smorgasbord, while the Apex Pro is an updated classic, one-piece forged blade. The result of those different constructions are two irons that have a different approach to the idea of distance. Like its successful predecessor, the new Apex focuses on enhancing distance, while the new Apex Pro is focused on controlling it.

The big story behind the Apex iron is the addition of Callaway’s proven cupface technology to a forged 1025 carbon steel frame. The cupface design, in which the iron’s face plate wraps around the sole and topline, is used in the mid and long irons to enhance the areas of the face that produce the highest spring-like effect. The Apex’s cupface design, which like Callway’s fairway woods and hybrids reaches the USGA limits for rebound effect, increases the amount of unsupported face for an ancillary benefit that resulted in a change from the previous Apex.

I didn't know golf clubs have "cupface" designs :)

Edit,

Actually that is a design feature and not a typo. My bad. :whistle:

I though the whole article misspelled clubface with cupface. Which would be hilarious for a Golf Digest article.

Yeah, the 360° cupface stuff is their thing as much as slots are for Taylormade.

I saw the Crossfield review just now. I'm not wild about the new look with the darker steel. The satin finish on the original modern Apex models was spectacular. The backs of the new Apex clubs looks very much like the X2 / XR line, which is nice in this finish, but a bit gauche. I'd still game them over AP1 / AP2, but I'd rather have the older model.

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
