SPOTTED: New Callaway Forged irons… Apex or Legacy?
Photos of a new Callaway Forged iron popped up in our GolfWRX Forums, and our members are trying to figure out whether they’re going to be replacements for Apex Pro irons, or whether they’re an update on the Legacy series. They could also be X-Forged irons, but since Callaway recently came out with new X-Forged irons, that would be unlikely.
Here’s what GolfWRX Members are saying:
- elwhippy: A new Legacy iron? Looks a bit Japanese shaped.
- mattTHEkatt: Like an X-Forged/Legacy Black mashup. They look powerful.
- DTown3011: …gotta be the next Apex!
- J13: Pics look like a newer legacy black.
- mgholda: Pics look like a newer legacy black.
- TheMoneyShot: I thought Cally was going to phase out the Apex name after they released the MBs?
- john443: A larger cavity in these then the X- Forged… competitor to the 750 and AP3 maybe? …or Legacy Black finally brought to retail…hallelujah. CF16 replacement???!
- Equipto: These look very sharp, and like thumpers. I don’t care if they are a Legacy Black or Apex replacement, call them whatever… i’ll try them
- mrmikeac: Next gen Callaway Apex Legacy? Hmmmm…..
- Brizam: The Legacy Black might be the best players cavity back ever made. If they were to become available they’d move straight to the top of the list of clubs to buy for me.
- Jourdan M: This is the Apex Pro

Snell Golf launches new 2024 Prime lineup of golf balls offering ‘performance for all’
Snell Golf has today introduced its new 2024 Prime golf ball lineup.
Per Snell, the new lineup focuses on offering urethane technology at an affordable price, while optimizing the golf ball performance based on player swing speed, or a more frequently known data point, 7-iron distance.
On the new release, Dean Snell, owner and CEO, says
“As our company has evolved over the last 9 years we continue to learn more about our customers and what we can do to make golf ball selection easy for the amateur golfer. Sometimes there is just too much data, described as ‘paralysis by analysis,’ leaving many golfers feeling overwhelmed. The new lineup is positioned to make it easy for our players to choose their model based on swing speed, or an even simpler metric of their 7-iron distance. Each model is designed to give those player profiles total overall performance and do so at a price point that makes sense for their game and their wallet.”
The release of the new models: Prime 2.0, Prime 3.0, and Prime 4.0 offer three performance levels and three price points to fit golfers of different capabilities:
Prime 2.0
A new 2-piece urethane golf ball ball designed for more leisurely swing speeds. A high speed core is designed to offer players higher spin and higher launch to promote overall carry distance, and works with the urethane cover for higher short game spin than other 2-piece balls on the market. The new XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide very soft feel, excellent durability, and superior greenside control.
Price: $24.99 per dozen.
Prime 3.0
Total performance for a wide range of golfers, a 3-piece urethane golf ball that evolves from the previous “MTB PRIME” and “MTB BLACK” models, designed to provide high ball speed and low long game spin that most players desire. The mantle layer is designed for controlling iron spin
to mid-high levels needed to execute every shot in the bag, while the brand’s NEW XV3 Urethane cover aims to provide softer feel, ultimate greenside control, and improved durability.
Price: $32.99 per dozen.
Prime 4.0
Designed for mid to high swing speed players, this model is a 4-piece urethane golf ball designed to provide golfers with leading performance. An ultra fast core and low spin aims to offer superior distance, while the mantle layers work to offer higher short iron spin and optimal launch for long
irons. The XV3 Urethane cover provides ultimate greenside control, excellent durability, and a slightly firmer feel on this model.
Price: $34.99 per dozen.
The 2024 Prime 2.0 and Prime 3.0 golf ball models will be offered in a high visibility white & optic yellow immediately shipping April 22nd on SnellGolf.com. The Prime 4.0 will also be on pre-sale in white on April 22nd, shipping May 1. Yellow 4.0 model expected to be available June 1.

To quote PT Barnum, there is a sucker born every minute, and the Marketing of a new club every few weeks proves it, so buy them up fellas, my stock will get better. And don’t forget the new Balls and Woods which are sure to follow. lol

one thing for sure…they are a full club longer, higher , straighter and easier to hit than the clubs you just bought 5 months ago…I would sell those old ones now before they become worthless.

These are ‘fake-forged’ irons. They’re cast steel and then ‘coin’ or stamped forged which only affects the surface metallurgy. Not ‘hot’ forged, only ‘cold’ forged. Gullible gearheadbaters will believe anything.

I play the Legacy Black as well. Great look and hope they bring it out here. Everyone who looks at the Legacy Black just love the top down look and the ‘help’ from the wider sole.

If Stenson was testing, they’re Legacy. If it was another pro, they’re Apex Pros.
