   It’s true about getting the proper frequency slope by tip trimming a parallel shaft. You’d just cut the butt for length. I think it’s a great move by Callaway, but I just wished they planned ahead and offered single club orders. I realize that other manufactures make great irons, but for the weekend warrior (IMHO) you’d be hard pressed to fined a better set than Apex.

   DO throughout the set seems a bit light.

   Callaway REALLY got it right! This is the perfect set of clubs for a serious player that wants workability, forgiveness and distance in the longer irons— all in an absolutely beautiful forged club. I just ordered mine last week after 6 months of intensive research and testing. The shaft options are very good as well.

     There may be some validity to his comment. The old Apex were parallel and the Apex Pros were taper. Where this conglomeration fits in I can’t comment.

   From what i saw on the configurator, there are some upcharges, at least on the steelfiber (+60$)

     Steelfibre falls under the graphite option.

   Uh are you all dense?

   You do realize that you can custom order your own combo set from any manufacturer?

   Hell NIKE will let you do this, yet you buy in when Callaway does it?

   Keep in mind ALL heads are .370″ means you will get zero real deal quality shafts….

   Keep up the great work Callaway!

   I will go ahead and order my Mizuno irons whatever head whatever shaft whatever grip combo I want, all real deal quality components, as they have been pushing custom sets and the importance of this for years….

     First, the lofts are modified to match up the different sets. Also, these have matching finishes, since the Apex Pro 16 has a chrome finish that wouldn’t match the Apex CF satin finish if you ordered them separately.

     Dense? I wouldn’t consider myself dense. I prefer obtuse.

       LOL, Jon. Stan is correct, most if not all manufacturers do this, you can hand pick whatever you want in your set. I’ve been blending Titleist sets for years, and it is encouraged.

         Absolutely. A good buddy of mine did the same thing with Titleist. 7-9 MBs, 4-6 CBs, 3 712U. Some day when I blow the dust off of the old wallet I would like to put together a similar set. The problem is, I am having separation anxiety issues with my old Hogan Apex.

     Why people feel the need to criticize the choices of others on the internet I do not know. I assume it is a lack of understanding and people fear what they do not understand so they lash out, or life has left you so full of misery and self loathing that your only release is to insult others and try to make yourself feel superior. I will assume it is the former and try to educate you on why some of us are excited about this release.

     Yes you can do this with all manufacturers, I was weighing a mixed apex set against a T-MB/AP2 combo. Unfortunately the new AP2 is not an attractive golf club and with Callaway prior to this release there were two issues, you either had to bend CF16 strong, pro 16 weak, or some combination of the two. In doing so you change the effective bounce of the club and because of the large gap in lofts between the two you were looking at adding or losing between 6* and 9* of bounce assuming a change of 3* bounce per 1* of loft. The only way around this was to play two 6, 7, or 8 irons, one pro and one CF16. Because there is a 3* gap in these clubs you could in theory go 5 & 6 in CF16 and then 6-P in Pro 16, but the idea of carrying two 6, 7, or 8 irons is strange to me.

     Also, if you combo the set you have some satin, some chrome, and some of us prefer sets to match, in my case ideally without chrome anywhere on the club head. I personally hate chrome or any form of reflective clubs, if all irons were satin and all woods were matte I would be very happy with that, so thanks Callaway, keep up the great work!

     As for shafts you can get Project X which is my shaft of choice and with a parallel shaft an experienced fitter can trim them to frequency match your shafts through the set. KBS also makes the C-taper in .370 so depending on what you like in a shaft there are some solid options. For anyone else you can shim a .355 shaft into a .370 head and there will be no noticeable difference to the player.

     So, enjoy your Mizuno’s, they make great sticks. So does Callaway, Nike, Titliest, Tmag, etc. It is personal choice, people spend their money on what they want. If you don’t like it, stfu. You don’t have to play it.

   Wish they thought of this a few months ago when I bought the Apex 16’s.
