Callaway Apex CF16 - BEST. IRONS. EVER......

[Ripken08]

Ok. Just got my set and played today. All I can say is WOW. Easy to hit, look great, feel great. 15+ mph winds today and it had ZERO effect on my shots. Gained a solid 15 yards per club which is a big deal for a short knocker! Wasn't expecting so much from the matching sand wedge to be honest, but it was great for chipping. Not sure how it will work out of actual sand. I don't see how anyone couldn't like these irons. Thinking of picking up a backup set lol.

 

Just my experience of course. I've played a lot of Cally irons over the years and these tick all the boxes for me.

[timbo08]

Good to hear! I am picking up my set tomorrow, can't wait!

[kmbean]

I love my set as well - amazing irons

[carn9698]

They are long on my testing. These are the only set that tempt me from my accurate i25s.

[Fubuman]

I play XR-Pro & am eagerly waiting till CPO has them on a warehouse sale or so, not sure if they'll beat my XR's though but I will get them when the new model comes out!

[davidw88]

Ordered a set of these today with s300, keen to try them out.

[C-Lo72]

Just picked up a set of Apex Pros, was surprised at how easy they were to hit, great feel to them, love the look over the ball at set up, and decent distance. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the market as well...

[Golf64]

Ripken08, told ya they were the best irons for YOU! Now keep them!

[ryldawg]

I've got the satin cf16 with recoil 110 and couldn't be happier with them! Of course the black cf16 are coming out so of course I ordered them as well!

[Ripken08]

Still loving mine. Had some issues with first set and rattles in the club heads. Luckily I had already ordered a backup set and got them before vacation this week. Shot 78 yesterday with the heavier shafts. Nothing not to like about these irons!

I did a Trackman fitting, and these were the irons that won. They really weren't on my radar, but I was blown away with how they performed. I was a full club to club and half longer with them over my current gamers.

[DPK55]

I just picked up my set of Apex CF/Pro Combo set yesterday and I'm dying to get out on the course with them. After putting the KBS C-Taper light shaft in my launch moniter numbers were insane with distance and forgiveness.

[300_Straight]

I want to hit these. They look fantastic from every picture I've seen so far and heard the feel is SOFT, which I love. They're also "only" 2 degrees stronger on each club than my current (besides PW). I just can't justify spending $1200+ on a set of irons.

Where in the set did you make the transition being they are 3* off on the same number iron? The way I see it is you either have to have two of the same numbered irons or live with a 6* gap.....?

Callaway actually makes a combo set, most stores and courses don't carry it in stock and you have to order it. the 3-7 iron are the CFs and 8-AW are the Pros, what Callaway did is adjust the lofts so there isn't a gapping issue, along with putting the satin finish on the Pros. The change starts with the 6 iron which in the all CF set is 27 degrees and in the combo it is 27.5 degrees the 7 iron standard is 31 degrees and the combo it is 31.5. This big changes are in the Pros, where the 8 iron goes from 38 to 35.5 and the 9 iron goes from 42 to 40. The PW is 45 instead of 46 so not a huge change, and both AW are at 50 degrees.

[flog2]

these are the irons that will move me from decades of Titleist and Mizuno....................best looking irons out there this year imo (for GI clubs)

[Lord Helmet]

My set came in today!

[puttingmatt]

i had the apex pro's enjoyed the club,but wasn't happy with the satin finish.

but they are coming out in black, so maybe will look at these for the second bag.

[kmbean]

Enjoy them

Wow, I was totally unaware of that, that is awesome! Wait, dang it, why did you have to tell me that, now you got me thinking! :fie:

I'm not sure if they are the best irons ever as that all depends on the individual who is hitting their favorite brand of irons. I do think they rank right up there with the T-MB's, PXG, Concept16's for they really are easy to hit. These clubs have so much going for them as they can be worked either way but more of a point and shoot type of iron for me. Excellent feed back and these are some of the longest irons to come out this year. The looks will turn heads as these are sweet for pictures just don't do them justice.

 

I have several rounds under my belt and I did need to get the lies adjusted as Callaway was off on their measurements. I put the new DTX Pure Grey grips on and they look so darn good with the Recoil shafts as this too my contribute to my added distance gains. Best choice I've made in a long time as Callaway has a winner with the CF 16 Apex irons.

[MAndrews]

Love mine, only regret at this point is I wish they were the new all black version.

[af15e]

I just gave my fitter the go ahead on a set of CF16s, am I crazy for not wanting black?!? I was thinking i couldn't handle all that awesomeness looking down at the ball!

 

But honestly, I feel like the classic look behind the ball would make more sense. We shall see...but shooting that resale value in the foot! BANG!

[sofla]

Now we need the combo set in all black

[princelyryno]

I plan to get fit at the end of the season, hopefully I can find a grove with my swing. I thought these clubs were geared towards lower handicapped players? I consistently shoot in the mid 80s with an occasional bad/good round of low 90/80. Everybody who posts raves about these clubs. Any other clubs comparable that you guys think I should check out?

[flopshot99]

Insane feedback...cf16 are these satin or black

[davidw88]

You can get both finishes

[CallTaylor]

I have been using the combo set for a couple of months. Just like everything about them. I would consider the black finish but I'm a stickler for keeping my clubs looking nice and I doubt the finish will hold up. Wish they went with the same black finish as PXG. :)

Just got a set myself and your review of the irons says it all. Yup on the back up set, [shaft trials]

Think i stole your tick all the boxes comment on a review of these on another CF-16 thread i posted on. Damn subliminal messages lol
