CALLAWAY APEX 21 PRO

◆ Forgiveness 2.5 ◆ 7i loft 33°

VERDICT Hollow irons haven’t really been Callaway’s bag before, but the Apex 21 Pro is an absolute delight. The muscleback appearance gives the impression of a blade, but inside there’s up to 90g of low and deep tungsten to maximise forgiveness from what is very much a players iron head shape and size. Callaway say it suits scratch and singlefigure handicappers, and we can see lots of players choosing between these and P770s. Often, the decision is likely to come down to price, and the Pros edge that battle by a fair bit. Our data shows the standard Apex 21 iron being seven yards longer, if distance is more of a priority.
