Callaway Apex Miura Forged Blades

Looks like a few sets were made available online today.

Introducing the Callaway Apex MB Tour Version Irons. As Tour Blade connoisseurs may notice, these Apex MB are not the same model as the Apex MB irons introduced to the market in 2018. These are actually the same irons as the Apex MB used on the PGA Tour by Callaway Staff players Francesco Molinari as well as Ryo Ishikawa. For the blade geeks out there, I think the beautiful shape would just give it away…. Yes, you guessed it! These heads are produced by none other than Miura Giken!

The “Callaway Apex Tour Version MB Iron” as the name suggests, has a Tour inspired shape and design, these blades were designed and produced based on direct feedback from Callaway’s PGA Tour Staff players around the world. The differences from the ’18 Apex MB is pretty obvious when you place the club at address. The head looks sharper with straighter lines and has a very thin top line. The flow from the top line to the hosel make the head appear as zero offset. Players are able to address the face directly at the target with no distraction whatsoever. This is a true Tour grade set of irons!

Another design feature that differentiates the Apex MB Tour Version is the extended length of the hosel. The longer hosel creates a higher CG for better trajectory control for the better players. It also has a higher heel side face height which makes it easier to control the face at impact. For the better player, this allows them to work the ball left and right as they please. The grooves are also milled for generating abundance of back spin preferred by better players.

While the top line is extremely thin, the back face actually has more thickness behind the hitting area. This is a direct reflection of requests from Tour players seeking dense and soft yet sophisticated forged feel at impact. The sole design features low bounce and flat grind. Tour professionals find it critical to have this sole design for ultimate control of the face angle through the impact zone. The sharper sole grind cuts through the turf like a Japanese katana sword.

Whoa

Didnt think they’d ever acknowledge

Where are you seeing this??

HAHAHA!!! Nice one Callaway.

Tour spec golf has 2 sets

Finally the curtain is removed to reveal Miura as the best steel any of us can buy.

$3,500 with S200 (yes Japanese target market) makes this an easy pass. Just buy some used tournament blades for $700

Yep! They sent me an email this morning.

Cuz Tour Spec and Muira are owned by the same Corporation

Greg

No.

True Spec is owned by the same parent as Miura... https://www.truespecgolf.com

Tour Spec has the 2 sets. They are a JDM online retailer... https://www.tourspecgolf.com/callaway-apex-mb-tour-version-irons-by-miura-4-pw.html?utm_source=Tourspecgolf&utm_campaign=24ff28ca72-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_02_06_04_35&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_98a2e65a08-24ff28ca72-452259109&mc_cid=24ff28ca72&mc_eid=0020cd87e0

Isn't that basically what @pga43 said? haha. Maybe a bit of semantics.

No he was saying Tour Spec had the sets because they are under the same umbrella as Miura. True spec is actually that company, not tour spec

got it. Thanks. I honestly didnt notice the true and tour. I read them ad the same. haha.

All I know is we need some sets here in the USA

Thanks, I actually thought I typed True Spec.

Greg

They already are. Go to Miuragolf.com and you can buy them but it won't say Callaway on them. These are the MB101 or similar in shape and design.

They are also available on Callaway’s Japanese website: https://www.callawaygolf.jp/JP/ja_JP/4C29J/configuratorPage/CPQCONFIGURATOR

I asked Callaway if they will be available in the US and the answer I got was “not at this time”. Such a bummer!!!

They are also being gamed right now by Aaron Wise, Maverick McNealy, Matt NeSmith, Chase Seifert, etc.

"These are actually the same irons as the Apex MB used on the PGA Tour by Callaway Staff players Francesco Molinari as well as Ryo Ishikawa."

Ishikawa is still playing?

Already have the new Miura MB ? but as a callaway staffer I’d like them

I have them also. I like just the Miura M on the toe. Clean simple look.

They are so good it is silly... the sole is incredible.. people don’t realize how a correct sole can make a club more playable

There is already a post about these from a week ago

Molinari's WITB from Jan 21st showed he was using the Apex Pro irons.https://forums.golfwrx.com/discussion/comment/19315579#Comment_19315579

Do they come in LH? Where's Phil at?

A blade is a blade. These look good but so does the new Wilson Staff at a quarter of the price.
