Looking forward to reading about the experiences and the performance. It always feels like Callaway is “marketing first” and I’m curious to see if these irons are AI hype or if they are legitimate.

Currently in the bag:

We’re are bringing another newly launch product by way of the latest additions to Callaway's renowned Apex line of irons—the Apex Ai200 and Ai300 to member testing.

The Apex line has a rich history, originally stemming from the legendary Ben Hogan brand, and has been a go-to for serious golfers since Callaway adopted it. Known for combining the feel of a forged iron with cutting-edge performance, the Apex irons have continually evolved to meet the needs of today’s players.

These new models claim to represent a significant leap forward in golf club technology, blending Callaway's advanced artificial intelligence design with premium forged construction. The Ai200 is designed for players seeking a balance of distance and precision, featuring a sleek, fully forged hollow-body construction. On the other hand, the Ai300 caters to those needing a more forgiving, game-improvement iron without sacrificing the feel and control that better players demand. Both models are designed to deliver superior consistency, performance, and a modernized look and feel, which is where you come in.

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

That was what I was thinking down the road if I get along well enough with these 300's I may try some 200's down the line in the lower end of the bag. The fact that the 2 sets differ in 1 degree of loft really makes me think Callaway planned for this possibility!

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
