    Callaway Apex Pro 19 Irons

    Get fitted. Too many variables, buying someone else's irons sounds like a recipe for disaster BUT it is a good price. At a 4 index it's probably the right move to move into players distance iron to bridge that gap from game improvement to blades but the dynamics are different. The Cobras were longer length from the factory, not sure about the Apex.  Without having a chance to swing those side by side I'd say pass on them.
    Thank you. I'm a 4 x week player, with no organized competitive desires at any level. With that, I don't see any benefit to getting fitted. The price I was offered is $200-300 cheaper than anything I've seen in same condition. It's also 7 years newer than my current set, which is also forged. The factor for a strong lean to buy is that the shaft is the same shaft I currently play. The downside is that the Callaway is more of a players forged iron and 1/2" shorter than my cavity back forged Cobra. I'll probably flip a coin.

    I'm playing the 2019 Apex (not the pro line) and love them.  My last few sets have all been forged irons and these are comparable.  My irons are stronger than standard, but I don't believe the Pro line are.  Obviously, you're a decent ball striker.  I don't think you'll find hitting these irons to be an issue.  Seems like a very good price.
    The price is indeed very good. Thanks for the thoughts.

    Given your stated handicap being as low as it is you can pick and choose from whatever irons you want on the market I would say. In addition anything from 2019 other than a pure blade is likely to be more forgiving and have added value over irons from 2012. 
    Just my two cents, but I would go for it!
    Appreciated.

    I've never played Callaway Irons. I have an opportunity to buy a set of these in 3-PW in nearly-new condition for $500, but if they are viewed as too difficult to hit, I may pass on them.

     

    For anyone who has played these, how do they compare with other forged irons you have used with respect to feel, forgiveness and distance? I'm currently a 4 hdcp and play 2012 Cobra forged S2 Irons. Thx.1a9012abe59f410afd5757e9925ec3ba.jpg

    Grammar

    Let me start off by saying I play to a 3.1 hdcp.  After seeing the Maxfli review, I purchased 2 dozen of the Maxfli Tour X.  After playing it, as well as the ProV1 and Z-Star, the only difference I could determine, for me, is that the PV1 feels a tiny bit softer and the Z-Star a bit firmer. 

    The Tour X spin into and around the green is far better than the Z-Star and is very close to the PV1. I also find the Tour X as durable as the PV1, but not as strong as the Z-Star.

    I am very surprised with the solid performance of the Tour X.  For the foreseeable future it is my new ball.

    Pretty much the same issue Wilson Staff has.  Even thought it's part of a Mega Sports company, anything releated to Wilson and golf, just doesn't resonate with golfers below the age of say 50 or 60.   

    Probably the reason I can't seem to even get a bite on a brand new set of D9 Forged listed for sale.  As good of looking iron as just about any other in the players distance category.  But zero street cred with todays golfers.

     

    Hmm.  Where is your D9 listing?
