CALLAWAY APEX MB VERDICT

◆ Availability 3-PW, AW ◆ STOCK SHAFTS Project X 10 (s) ◆ 7-IRON LOFT 34° ◆ FORGIVENESS RATING 1

Give 10 players the opportunity to design their dream muscleback and eight or nine will come up with the new Apex MB as their perfect creation. We say that because so many top-level golfers love straight and true top lines and leading edges. Blades are utterly subjective, as one man’s pleasure is another man’s poison, but for us the Apex is the blade of the year as it’s absolutely gorgeous. The satin finish takes away the shiny plating that some players raise issue with. And the idea to locate a hefty weight behind the impact zone means it can be swing-weighted for different shafts without putting mass inside the hosel, which draws the centre of gravity towards the heel. If you’re completely brand agnostic, you will not find a better-looking blade in 2021.
