Taking Perfection Farther.
For the new Apex Pro 16 Irons, Callaway focused on their Tour players and what they like, and Callaway relied heavily on their feedback for this forged design. These irons have a classic, authentic look, and soft feel from quadruple net forging that the pros demand. And with progressive flow weighting from the multi-material design you have the precision, playability and MOI you need for each club. This is a premium forged irons set that’s engineered for world-class players, and skilled players alike.
Tour Influenced Shaping and Design
This is a classic look that the best players want to see, and their extensive input played a huge role in how we designed this set.
Soft Feel
The 1025 mild carbon steel and advanced quadruple net forging creates the soft feel that better players prefer.
Progressive CG for Playability and Precision
Callaway’s multi-material design optimizes the Center of Gravity of each club. The longer irons (3-5) have more offset and a tungsten insert to lower CG for higher launch. The shorter irons (6-A) have a higher CG for a controlled, penetrating trajectory.

The Takeaway
Callaway relied heavily on their Tour player’s feedback for this forged design. These irons have a classic, authentic look, and soft feel from quadruple net forging that the pros demand. And with progressive flow weighting from the multi-material design you have the precision, playability and MOI you need for each club. Progressive CG for playability and precision, achieved through their multi-material design, optimizes the CG of each club. The long irons (3–5) have more offset in a tungsten insert a lower CG for higher launch. The shorter irons (6-AW) a have a higher CGA for control penetrating trajectory.
Who's It For?
The Apex Pro irons are for better players that are looking for forgiveness, precision, workability, and the sweet, buttery feel of forged irons.
Final Take
Like the Apex CF, the looks of this iron are top notch. Add in a very soft solid feel, ample distance and clean look at address and it all adds up to a very nice offering from Callaway. I found these to have an even softer feel than the CF version, but lost some of the forgiveness. Compared to the Apex CF the distance was shorter, but to be fair the Apex CF irons were super long. These are an excellent player’s cavity back iron.
