Now I got a call back...TCB is a “maybe” as a special release in April. Great time to release an iron 🙄🙄🙄. 

They do this all the time. For heads and triple diamonds are always around that time if released.

I love the Pros. Not sure if this was covered, but how would someone blend the Apex and Pro from 6-7?

 

The Apex has like 3 degree steps with a 26.5* 6-iron and then a 33* 7-iron in the Pro?

The WRX story says split is between the 7/8 but it’s still a 6.5* gap. 

That’s like 2 clubs?

Maybe an odd question but does anyone think/know if the DCB would blend well with Mavrik Pros? I go from Mavrik Max to Pro now and it works from performance stand point, but I wonder if the Apex DCB would work from performance stand point and blend nicer visually too.

Yeah, the whole split set thing is a shot across the Mizzy bow.

More akin to the X Forged CB from what I understand. Traditional forging with top line and blade lengths like the Apex MB but in a slightly more forgiving CB package.

I'd love to see a X Forged CB, Apex TCB, and an APEX Pro comparison with all three

I am wondering this as well. But if you look at the spec sheet it appears that there is no change in the loft (or length) for the Apex Pros or the Apex 21s in the combo set. Does that mean they should be around the same distance ? If so, can you break it anywhere you want in the set? 

 

I hit both heads today at the store and they were amazing. Barely lost any distance on thin shots (which is my miss) and was shocked at how good the dispersion was. Really want to break the set at the 6 or 7. Here's hoping you can!

I made some calls about the TCB. They are being released in the UK since they did not get the X Forged CB. We should see them in April/May as a custom only offering.

Yep, I was looking at that on the Callaway VIP site. I would guess when the actually specs for the combo sets come out they would do what they have always done with the lofts on the combo sets.

I’ve been staring at the pro’s all day... I can not wait to go test these things. The P770s had me feeling the same way when I saw them online, but the feel, look by the ball, and performance didn’t live up to what I had hoped. It’s very much coming down to i210 and these bad boys. Very pumped to get into TrueSpec and put them through their paces.

Looks like they just updated the lofts in the combo set and it matches up better.

Only a 4* split between the Pros and Apex 21s at the 7/8 split

Everyone is going to be ordering these from the UK now.

2.5* strong 8i compared to stock Pros. Will that mess with the bounce/turf interaction or do they actually make a different club with new specs?

I was told by GolfSupport dot com, that they're not allowed to "export" Callaway clubs to North America, something to do with Callaway licensing.  Might want to ask first @TheMoneyShot

Thanks for the info and that totally stinks if true?  Are there any other sites that are legit to buy from?

I haven't found any reputable ones yet.  Maybe someone in the know will send us a PM with a link to a site that will ship to us.  <hint hint>

For the last Apex combo they made a different club (in fact the pros were a different finish in the combo). It's why it's hard to make your own combo set because you would have to bend them and mess with the bounce.

that’s why god invented “open box” and “demo” sets 

 

that’s how Japanese sellers ship to the USA 

 

they can’t sell new, but...

have to admit, I am with you.  My son has the XForged CB in the bag, and having seen more pictures of the TCB, I will take a satin more squared version any day - just my 2 cents.

The pro are hollow which takes some appeal away, x forged cb still have my intentions

Cardy,

They feel and sound like a traditional forging; definitely worth giving a test drive.

hollow heads have been less than ideal for me

 

ive Hit the x forged cb and the feel is otherworldly 

[bcflyguy1]

Agree, the CB feels as sweet as nearly anything.
 

Point being if I hadn’t known going in that the Pro was a hollow head full of goo I wouldn’t have guessed it. Cheers!

Might be hard to believe but April used to be the first release date for new clubs. The PGA Show was used to unveil new products that would come out in April and May.
