Next Apex Irons Release


Recommended Posts

Callaway is a mess all over the place re: deliveries. Bought a Custom Epic Driver beginning of June, was told 2-3 weeks. End of June I called...was told 2-3 weeks. Just told me two days ago that they now no longer know when it will be delivered, and the only thing they do know is that they haven't even started it.

 

It's one thing to have an item in-demand and back-ordered, but it's starting to look like Callaway just doesn't know what they're doing. They're kind of a hot mess right now.

I had this happen with TM last year, it took 6 weeks to get my M1. I ordered it with a Hzrdus and by the time they got around to building it the shaft was on backorder. I finally agreed to accept it with a 70m4 and allow the store to exchange the shaft once the hzrdus became available again... that was another 8 weeks later.

All I can say to you guys who have the Apex Pro 16 on order, they are worth the wait. They are the longest players iron that I have hit with traditional lofts by todays standards. Feel is outstanding and they don't disappoint on mishits.

Great update to the post.

 

Any dates about the release of the Apex DI Utility Iron?

 

The Apex DI has been around for about 2 years, or however long the Apex UT has been around. But the DI is a tour only version. Not sure what the differences are, but I do know I've seen a 16° DI and the UT only comes in an 18° as the lowest loft. If the DI was coming to retail we would have seen it a couple years ago.

There might be a new utility iron just around the corner, just sayin!!

I know this has been discussed on this board before, but most information that I've read was from a few months ago. I did see in the Epic iron thread one poster mention that the next Apex irons will be released in the Fall. Does anyone have any more information on these or release timeframe? I believe the irons are on a two-year cycle so I would think they'd be released Q1 or Q2 of 2018 but I'm hoping in the next few months. Thanks in advance for all your input gentlemen.

 

i don't know if it's true or not but i know i read somewhere that it will be offered or 2finishes "Raw and Chrome" if this is true then i might have to take a look at them when that comes time. but those new MB just look so clean and simple. Callaway will sell a lot of MB if they offer it in two finishes. and the apex mb looks that good. i'm sure callaway will release some amazing irons this fall

 

I sure hope this is true. I'm not a fun of being blinded by my shiny chrome irons. Raw all day.

The Callaway website indicates a 3-4 week build time for the Apex and Apex Pro, it's been that way for months now. Last week I called Callaway and asked if they could guarantee I'd have a new set in a month if I placed the order that day. The response was telling - no, it might be more like 60 days. They have a shortage on iron heads and they are backordered.

 

Doesn't sound like Callaway is planning on running the Apex CF16 into 2018 to me. Sounds more like they are trying to manage Apex heads on an "as needed" basis, having some experience with production runs. My guess is Callaway is ordering small batches as orders continue to come in so they can bridge a short term gap to a new iron release. Might be this fall. It just doesn't make sense to run a long-term short inventory supply if the new iron isn't coming out until next year.

 

Hoping for a new Apex this fall and hoping it's a .355 hosel instead of the .370 parallel.

Are the actually listed as a players iron?

 

I guess it depends on your definition of players iron. Golf Digest puts them in that category. They aren't blades but I would certainly put them in the "players cavity back" category.

Is this a hint that the next Apex irons release really is delayed until 2018?

 

 

https://Not allowed because of spam.co...the-apex-black/

 

Yes, all new Apex, Apex Pro and Apex MBs are set for 2018. The guy I know said he has seen a few different prototypes but nothing confirmed yet.

 

I am playing the new 2018 Apex MB short irons and they are ridiculously good! They are more forgiving than I was expecting and they go forever!!

No hint needed. It's been known for a couple months now that new Apex line won't be launched until 2018. Most likely Q2ish...

 

Had a good conversation with my Callaway rep and they'll get a look at whatever the new Apex replacement will be next month. Excited to get a look after he returns and he expects a February release.

I also heard the same. I am surprised that we have not seen any tour guys playing with the new Apex Pro replacement. I would have to imagine that the MB will be released next Feb. You also have to think that their will be a new driver released as well.

Yeah, Callaway's annual sales meeting is next month so there is a good chance they will be seeing stuff. They have been playing around with different Apex/Apex Pro replacements at HQ so they haven't hit tour for testing yet.

 

You are correct with the new driver/woods coming, I have seen the prototypes and they look good!

I was told to expect the Jailbreak technology in the new driver! MD4 were pushed back to 2018 as well so could be quite a bit to show off next month!
