Callaway 2021 Apex DCB Comparison

[Matsui]

I want the Callaway Apex DCB, but I would not mind saving a bit and getting the 2020 model or the 2019 edition.  Can anyone tell me what the Apex DCB is similar to in other Callaway iron sets?

I just bought a set of those and there really isn't a similar club in last years lineup.

I had a set of Apex 2019 irons and I just got a set of Apex DCB (replaced the Apex irons with Ping i210’s but wanted to move back to Apex).  They are essentially what Callaway advertises.  They are more forgiving Apex irons (and I think they are just a little hotter or maybe that is just the forgiveness).  

Either way if you can save the money and get a set or Apex 19 I would not hesitate to do so.  I could not find any sets (left handed with graphite) for really any cheaper so if I was going to still have to pay just as well get the new stuff.

Wondering how you manage the distance gap (since you said you moved from i210). Did you also get a new set of wedges? Or, did you adjust the lofts? I love the idea of dcb as I hardly work the ball as a 10+handicapper but not sure about the gap between dcb pitching and my 50 55 60 wedge set... perhaps just make every dcb 2 degrees weaker is the answer?

So I had power spec lofts in the i210s so it was not a big adjustment.  As for the wedges I have the PW and AW in Apex and then 54 and 60 in the glide 3.0 I used with the i210s.
