5 star review

NCG SUMMARY

This is another great set of Apex irons from Callaway. These offer that bit of extra added forgiveness and distance than previous Apex models.

I love the sound and feel of these and think they are some of the best feeling players’ distance irons on the market. But the biggest wow factor was the consistency of the shots, especially in the mid to long irons.

PROS

Confidence inspiring shape
Easy to hit
More forgiving than other Apex models
Good distance

Callaway Apex Ai200 Iron Review: First Impressions

I love how Callaway has brought the style of the rest of the Apex iron line to this range. It is really unusual to have the same styling from blades and CB’s up to players’ distance and game improvement irons but Callaway has done a great job of this with the new Apex Ai200 and Ai300 models.

Despite these being bigger than the Apex CB irons I have been using I like the fact the blade length isn’t too long and there isn’t too much offset. There is however a thicker topline to add confidence to those who want something easier to hit.

NCG Verdict

I initially hit these in St Andrews on the driving range and out on the Eden Golf Course. The thing that first stood out to me when hitting these irons was how soft the sound and feel was for a hollow body iron, thanks to the the Forged 455 Face Cup.

In terms of ball flight, I loved how high these flew and just how easy they felt to hit. It was almost a relief to pull these out on the golf course, especially in the long irons as I knew I didn’t have to put a perfect swing on it to hit a good shot.

When I was back home I headed to the practice ground at Scarcroft Golf Club to get some data with my TrackMan.

Above is my 9-iron data, you can see across the board it is fairly consistent. I generated a great amount of spin here and paired with 46.5 degrees of descent angle these would easily stop quick on the greens. Personally I didn’t see loads of distance gains here but I do find I often struggle for distance with short irons with a wider sole.

With 7-iron the story again was consistency, the data was exactly where I would want it to be in terms of spin, height and carry, and I loved hitting these knowing shot after shot I was getting a very repeatable ball flight despite the strike location being sometimes questionable.

For me, these irons come into their own in the long irons. I am always looking for more ball speed and forgiveness in my 5 and 4-iron and these could be perfect options for players who want to combo set from some of the existing irons into something more forgiving in the long clubs. The 5-iron gave me very consistent data, I usually get around 171 yards carry out of my Apex CB 5-iron, and I saw an easy 8-yard gain here.

I also like the increase in height which would allow me to stop longer irons into the greens quicker and the spin was still at a decent level for a club head with more technology in.

Callaway Apex Ai200

Overall, I really enjoyed testing these irons. I love how Callaway has styled these, as they feel just like the smaller Apex models. For the size of the club, the sound and feel are great thanks to the forged club face. If you are after more distance and forgiveness than was previously available in the Apex line-up, these could be a perfect option for you.
