Callaway Apex CB Iron Set Review!

-

Recently, I had the opportunity to test the Callaway Apex CB iron set during a round of golf, and I was excited to see how they performed compared to my old Apex Pro irons. Designed for a more serious golfer who want some forgiveness with a side of precision, these irons feature a forged design that promises exceptional feel and control.

Right from the first swing, the Apex CB irons impressed me with their solid construction. The moment I struck the ball, I could feel the clubs were much more forgiving than I anticipated. The 360 Face Cup technology helped increase ball speed across the face, and helped on mishits, as they felt very similar to my old Apex Pros.

One of the standout features of the Apex CB irons is their impressive forgiveness. As someone who occasionally struggles with consistency, I appreciated how these clubs offered a larger sweet spot without sacrificing workability. The clubs felt balanced in my hands, which contributed to my confidence on approach shots. I found that I could easily shape my shots, whether I was aiming for a tight pin or navigating around obstacles.

During my round, I particularly enjoyed the performance of the mid and short irons. They provided excellent control, allowing me to hit my target consistently. The trajectory was just right—high enough to hold the greens, but with enough distance to reach my intended spots. Visually, these clubs looked almost identical to the Apex Pro that I had before, as I really expected to be looking at butter knives when I took them out of the box. As somebody who was scared of more of a players iron, these are a fantastic start into the smaller players irons.

Overall, the Callaway Apex CB iron set exceeded my expectations. They are a fantastic choice for golfers looking for a premium set that combines feel, forgiveness, and performance. Whether you’re a low handicapper or looking to improve your game, these irons could be a game-changer on the course. I can't wait to take them out again for another round!

D.A. Weibring, More than Just a Player

-
 D.A. Weibring is a name that stands tall in golf, not just for his successes on the PGA Tour, but also for his impact off the course. While Weibring won five PGA Tour titles, his contributions as a golf course architect have left an enduring legacy, most notably with the design of TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Weibring’s connection to the John Deere Classic and the Midwest runs deep. Born and raised in Quincy, Illinois, he brought his local knowledge and passion for the region to the design of TPC Deere Run. In the late 1990s, when the PGA Tour needed a new home for the John Deere Classic, Weibring was a natural fit to lead the project. His vision was to create a challenging yet accessible course that would honor the landscape of the Midwest, while still being enjoyable for both pros and amateurs. Today, TPC Deere Run is a renowned stop on the PGA Tour and a course synonymous with Weibring’s name. Beyond his course design, Weibring’s business acumen has been just as impr...

Fewer Bogeys: The Path to Lower Scores

-
 For many golfers, achieving lower scores is about more than hitting longer drives or making spectacular shots—it's about avoiding bogeys and big numbers that add up quickly. Minimizing mistakes is often the simplest way to play better and enjoy each round more. Here’s how you can approach your game with intention and consistency to make fewer bogeys and keep your scorecard clean. Play Smart, Not Bold One of the quickest ways to lower your score is by playing smarter. Avoid risky shots that could lead to trouble; instead, aim for high-percentage targets. On approach shots, prioritize hitting the middle of the green rather than attacking the pin. This gives you a chance at par without the added risk. Stay Calm Under Pressure Bogeys and big numbers often result from trying to "save" a hole after an errant shot. Instead, take a step back and assess your options. If you’re in the rough or near a hazard, play conservatively to get back in play rather than attempting a hero sho...

Which is better: Blade or Mallet Putters

-
When it comes to choosing the right putter, golfers are faced with a seemingly endless array of options. But most putters fall into three main categories: blades, mallets, and high-MOI designs. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, sparking endless debate on which style reigns supreme. Blade Putters For the purist, blade putters are the ultimate choice. Sleek, simple, and steeped in tradition, they offer unmatched feedback and control. Players who pride themselves on precision love blades for their ability to reward a perfect stroke—but at a cost. They can be unforgiving, and mishits often stray far off target. Mallet Putters Mallet putters are the choice for golfers seeking stability. With a larger head and more weight distribution, they’re perfect for players who need help with alignment and maintaining a smooth stroke. Their forgiving nature makes them ideal for weekend warriors. However, purists often dismiss mallets as lacking the finesse and elegance of a blade. High-MOI Putt...
