Callaway APEX MB RAW


Pontus

Recommended Posts

I'm aware of the speech Rory gave about the ball, I was just speculating that maybe he was quick to blame the 1Vx when if the irons were slightly weaker than he was used to, bearing in mind he was using rifle 7.0 shafts in them, that was attributing to his ball getting knocked out of the sky in the wind.

 

i guess im not sure how one can quantify that one iron is weaker than the others given that all 3 heads are produced from 1025 carbon steel and under go a very similar if not identical manufacturing process. with all else equal, those irons will perform very close to one another.

 

Weaker as in loft. It's a silly notion though as Rory's clubs would have been to his exact specs.

Thanks for the info guys. We play all of our golf at sea level in medium to strong winds so maybe the conditions on the day he tested them was a contributor.

 

Problem is I'm now edging toward buying them again ��

 

I play in scotland and have tried the Apex irons into the wind off the North sea and the flight was as strong as anything i've hit before, as far as distances are concerned they are right on the money for me (on GC2-Quad) and i found them no harder to handle than the X Forged. I haven't tried them in raw (*drool*) but i would guess i'd hit the raws further just because i so much want a raw set of blades :) I did try on the same day the cobra MB/CB pros and they were similar in distance and even flight to the Apex irons (Distance is a far second to accuracy for me with Irons but they need to fly too and they are very consistent in length). I had no idea we could get the raw's over here i thought they were tour only and i'd decided on the cobras but now i can get these im prob. going to change my mind dependant on cost as thats a factor for me unfortunately.

So I've had my set of Raw MB's for a little over a month now. Still loving them and they are starting to wear as

 

Awesome set! Did you strip your vokey too?!

 

I did. I really like the raw look obviously. Really like how they age and it's like they tell a story over time. The Hi-Toe wears incredibly fast which I really like too. For the first time ever I'm not looking to change anything in the bag.

Is there a WRX member in Europe who would take this on? Please message me and I would love to work something out.

I can put you touch with a UK based retailer that will ship overseas if you still want the raw apex irons. The irons can be custom made to your specs too so you get exactly what you require. Let me know if you want more info.

Another question, say If they got really rusty and you didn't like them as much, could you get them refinished in a satin finish for example? Would this be possible

 

Just take some barkeepers friend and clean them up to be rust free again - takes 5 min/club.

 

I'd sell them for $1200+ and just buy a chrome set before you attempt to put a new finish on the raw ones you have.

I almost sold my set but had a moment of clarity at the last minute. Took them to the range and put them up against my AP2’s. They shined and will be going back in the bag, minus the 4 iron which will be replaced by my 718 t-mb.
