Why We Like It
For close to a decade now, driver technology has trickled down into irons, particularly springy faces. The problem is that irons are smaller than drivers, making it a more difficult task. To achieve optimal performance in the Apex Pro, engineers used a hollow-body construction with a thinner, more flexible cupface (in which the face wraps around part of the sole and topline) on the 3- through 5-iron to provide more ball speed and a higher launch to enhance distance. The remaining irons have a 1025 forged-carbon-steel face insert designed for precision, accuracy and repeatability in the clubs where distance isn’t as crucial.
Characteristics
- Urethane microspheres work to dampen sound and improve feel.
- A pre-worn leading edge on the sole cuts through the turf efficiently.
- Back weight gives fitters more options to dial in swingweight.
- 7-iron: 33 degrees; 45 degrees
Highlights
- Top 5 softest-feeling players irons, medium swing speeds

Reviews
The ball goes up immediately and stays there, even with long irons. A lot of forgiveness in this club. Short, round look at address.
Erika, 43, Handicap: 0I love the softness off of the face and muted sound. This club gets the ball up quick with a lot of forgiveness and produces a high trajectory.
Alejandra, 25, Handicap: 5I like how easy these clubs are to hit and the higher trajectory. Distance and accuracy are consistent through the bag, even on mis-hits.
Sang, 63, Handicap: 9Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
