Steep = damaged

[Davie81]

I've posted previously about my xr and steelheads cracking at the sole near where the face joins. Callaway have upgraded me to the apex cf16 irons but I'm wary of them doing the same. Can a steep swing cause the cracks to the sole etc??

no, you should be fine. i also tend to swing steep and have a set of apex cf16. 

i think i prob hit a rock or something or they got hit doing something else. getting steep

in your swing would most likely make you dig pretty hard and i see that could least maybe bend ur shafts

but for your head to crack on the sole could be caused by the factory in the process of making the clubs.

id be happy with them sending apex cf16 instead of steelheads. lot better set of irons

Can you give us a clue on where you were hitting them? Any chance you hit them a lot at a low-grade practice range with beat-up mats over concrete walks? Just wondering...

Just the local range which does replace mats, balls etc to be fair. Nothing that bare. Been through 2 5 irons in the xr range and a 5/7 in the steelheads so I've been told this won't happen with forged.
