Sophie, I really like your reviews. I'm 65 yrs old (4 hpc on 6,300 yard course) and know that my swing speed is so much closer to yours than many guys with their reviews. So keep on making your great reviews!!
Best review I’ve seen of these irons to date! Articulate, informative and demonstrative of the differences between the two, with real world examples. Great job!
Thanks for the brilliant feedback Darwin! Great to hear that you like watching our reviews as much as we do making them. Please stay tuned for more great content and ring that bell!
Finally, I’m an older golfer with a swing speed just above yours. Your test is the first I can relate to. Thanks for your help.
Fantastic review. I have the DCB irons and they do exactly what you have shown. Not super long but launch high. I am a 10 hcp player and they are the best irons I've had. Everyone needs a little help and these irons deliver that.
Thanks for the great feedback David -totally agree with your comments!
I’m a 15 hcp but started playing lots this year. Do the DCB hold up as I get better?
@@orangemanbad I got fit recently and tried the DCBs and the standard Apex. To be honest, both were excellent. I ended up going for the standard Apex just because the spin rate was a little higher but there was not much in them. I play off 4.8. Have not got my Apex irons yet. Hopefully next week. If I were you I would go with the DCBs. They are awesome.
both are pretty forgiving I found. Way more than my current irons.
Well balanced "Real" view for US ordinary golfers, ladies and Men....NO other video talks about head size of clubs Sophie does, DCB slightly larger to add confidence levels...that's all we need to know, perfect Thanks...Blokes all talk about Look what I did hitting these at XYZ mph swing speed hitting 7 irons 195+..That's just stupid...WE DON'T....... best Video on here by miles...Sophie hits them like 60+% of average Men golfers....Men Professional just bang on and on about Spin, swing speed, and how far! GREAT VIDEO IN ALL ASPECTS..Thank you.
I've been playing apex Pro's for 7 years, 14s, 16s, and the 19s... Just ordered the sweet spot set from callaway 3 days ago in graphite, your video just proved to me I made the right decisions, and I no longer have to work as hard as I have over the past 7 years. It's time to play smarter, with all their technology going into these irons its crazy not to take advantage of it!!!
but those 2021 pro's tho are absolutely gorgeous. I was determined to get a combo set with the pros but the 4 month lead time scared me away. I went with the Apex 21 6-pw with AMT black shafts, just got them tonight and boy are they pretty. how are you liking that Sweet Spot combo set ????
She is a fantastic communicator. Wow. What a great review.
Thanks Mike for the brilliant feedback!
Really good reviews! This is exactly what you want; first explanatory, then how they feel and deliver but also HOW they feel on the track. Reality will always be different from the fictional. Please continue with this.
Awesome review, brilliant presentation and miles better with no background noise/music on the indoor section. Thanks.
We moved the sim
Thanks Jim - we have moved the simulator to deal with this so there will be much less background noise going forward!
Great point about what Annika was playing in her prime. Too many people get hung up on terminology like “game improvement”
Great review! Been watching tons of reviews on these irons. I currently play a combo of CF16 Apex (4-7) and ‘16 Apex Pros (8-PW). But, I’m older now, had my second hip replacement, and have lost some swing speed (driver now around 90, and 7 iron around 78). But, I love the look and feel of my Apexes and want to just get the more modern ones that hit a tad higher with stronger lofts (my current 8 is a 38 degree that I’m carrying in the low 130s on the range with range balls). However, all the “mens” reviews are guys swinging driver at 110 and an 7 iron at 90, so not very helpful for me. Glad I found your channel. Your swing speed is more in my ballpark, so your analysis is more helpful. Thank you!
Sophie ... what a FAB Review!! You covered all the bases and explained the various facets SO well!! You helped me decide between the 2 offerings. Looking forward to hitting my new DCB's this week!! Thanks so much!
Moving a few of my clubs to Callaway at present. Wedges and woods.
Nice review. Thanks.
Last season I decided to upgrade my Ping G25 irons.
I play to a 10 hcp.
After two fitting sessions with the local Callaway reps I decided on the Apex DCB.
I tried Mavrik, Mavrik Max, Apex and Apex DCB.
The Apex models felt and looked better than the Mavriks.
The DCB gave me better launch angles than the Apex.
Since we're still in deep freeze in Western New York State I have been hitting them in an inside dome.
So far I am very happy with them. Can't wait to get on the course!
Great stuff John, glad you're enjoying the reviews and your new irons. Good luck when you get back to he golf course!
Lovely review Sophie... have my eye on these clubs and I'm thinking of doing a combo. I'll get fit and see where best transition from the DCB to the standard Apex. Keep those reviews coming and cheers from Canada !!!
Hi there - great to hear we're reaching you over in Canada! We will keep the reviews coming for sure throughout the rest of the year - please make sure you're subscribed and ring that bell to see our new videos first!
Excellent review. I have the Apex DCB 4-AW, they are excellent for this 11 handicap player and feel these will have me in single figures by hitting more greens in regulation.
I bought the DCB and they shipped two days ago with the graphite shafts. Your video just made me feel even better about my purchase. Im hitting the Taylormade Burner tours now
Dude and you still shoot 110 what does it matter..
Great review I enjoyed it. I am using the rogue x going back to the Apex DCB!!
You may find you just get that little bit more feel with the APEX DCB. Great performing clubs - so easy to hit!
Your presentation gets better every video Sophie !
Thanks for the great feedback Wayne - glad you're enjoying our videos! Make sure you hit that SUBSCRBE button AND RING THAT BELL.
Apex 21 are in the Bag for 21 ⛳
Great stuff Marc - be sure to let us know how you get on!
Sophie, we love your videos here in the US.
Great review! I recently got a blended set, 5,6,7 DCB, 8,9 Apex, PW,AW Apex Pro. Loving this combo set!
Sounds great - combo sets can be very useful in finding a setup that suits you best!
That is the opposite way to go per the Callaway fitter I just spoke with.
great review and love the on course feedback, not just sim numbers. Still playing x16s but upgrading this year and Apex/DCB (possibly combo set) will definitely be on the short list but a bit pricey vs Mavrik or even G425.
Thanks for great feedback Lindsay - please subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to see more of our videos first!
Great review Sophie. Never had Callaway irons before, but I would be tempted to try the DCB. I see these are already discounted online to £859.
Hi Mikey - thanks for the great feedback. The DCB are so easier to launch and the stability at impact is impressive definitely worth a try
This is the best review yet on these irons.
Well done!
agreed , i bought them after this , had been on the fence before but this analysis was the most valuable
I am on the cusp of purchasing these clubs, outstanding review....going to hit them at local golf store today!!
I love my DCB's! Excellent review and commentary! Played Hogan Edge for years...loved the feel of those forged irons but the DCB's are more solid, longer and forgiving...and they are thinner looking down that the Hogans. Offset is about the same. Fabulous club.
Oh nice Sophie’s back haven’t seen her since marks videos
Hi Chewy V - yes I have been working as an equipment reviewer for Golfalot for just over a year now! make sure you check out our channel to catch up on anything you may have missed.
You are doing a awesome job on club reviews. You are definitely in my top 3 ☺️
Thanks Travis! Glad to have you onboard with Golfalot - dare we ask who the other two reviewers are in your top 3?
Nice review as always, but the main reason these strong lofted irons are flying so high is the Elevate shafts. You give more credit than due to the irons for the high flight.
Golf alot an sheilds are the best quick an too the point with great info ,nice video thank u
Thanks Jonathan - great compliment to be compared with Rick given the huge following he has. Please share our reviews so that we can try and catch up with him hahaha!
excellent review
Great presentation, thanks!
Great review! I just recently got the Apex 21’s. Awesome irons! Callaway has won me over. Then I seen the DCB’s OMG!
So now…. I have both sets 👍🏽😂
Ahhh Sophie 😍. Great review. Similar swing speed to myself. I’ve decided to go for the apex, currently playing some Mizuno JPx 919 tours. Due to injury I need some help from an iron now.
Great review! Best I’ve seen. I recently purchased the Apex 21 looking to get out of the “X” line. I was originally thinking DCB and may end up there eventually. Thanks!
i’m a 68 yr old mid-teens handicap Callaway devotee trying to decide between Rogue ST Max OS and Apex DCB … I like the Rogue price point but would be excited to see Apex in my bag. I’m all into forgiveness with distance as a bonus (and back in the day I loved the feel of my 80s era forged blades). I’m always looking to improve and it seems like a toss up for a player of my capabilities, etc. Thoughts?
Great review! I picked up a set of Mavrik Pro irons last year after your glowing review. (and love them). I'd be really interested in hearing how you compare the Apex line with the Mavrik pros.
Yes I loved the Mavrik pro irons! Glad our review helped you to decide on buying them. Please make sure you're subscribed to our channel to see more!
Nice review!
GREAT Sophie...Based on your Video I bought DCB's from Callaway Direct....and you are RIGHT about the sound I found them to have an awful noise Very Clicky-Clacky sound, especially on feel shots between 20-90 ish yards, just like hitting a stone on the face, and zero feel!
I used Prov1's and Callaway chrome soft and TP5's to check, all sounded rock hard & terrible....Not sure which part of the club is actually Forged?....They went back.
Best review I’ve seen of these clubs, thinking about upgrading to these from cf16s, very hand that your swing speed is very similar to mine, helps make a good comparison. Thanks
I play my X16 but the new set will be Apex of som sort
Great review I love watching you!!
Great review Sophie😃
Thanks for the great feedback Mike! If you like what you see, hit that SUBSCIBE AND RING THAT BELL to see everything we do this year.
Great review nice swing
Thanks a lot! If you like what you see, hit that SUBSCIBE AND RING THAT BELL to see everything we do this year.
Excellent review, you certainly know how to say what you are feeling in the club. I am personally on the fence between the Callaway DCB, the Taylormade Sim2 max and the Ping G425 irons, I'm currently playing Cobra King one length forged irons but just cant get the height in the longer irons
Thanks Tillsy! Please SUBSCRIBE to our channel to see more of our content first. If it's height you're looking for I would recommend the Callaway DCB - they are so easy to launch!
Nice review. 8:41 I think you were hitting the 8 iron back at the shop, not 7.
Great review and found it very honest.
Great review but I must say the DCB irons will the weekend warriors smile more at the end of the round versus the standard apex which requires extra work resulting in more unsettling shots that go too right or too left on such minimal swing twitch(s).... good job and great swing Sophie
Agreed Rick! Thanks for the great feedback and make sure you are subscribed to our channel to see more videos first!
Looking to buy some of these. I see some new and used on ebay. But I'd like to know how these dcb heads would match up with graphite senior flex shafts in the 55 to 65g range.
Great review as always. Any chance of a WITB video?
There will definitely be a what's in the bag video coming very soon - spoiler we're going to shout it a GREAT venue!
Hi Sophie greatest reveiw so far. May I just ask how far are you hitting the pitching wedge with your swing speed? Also the 7 irons DCB? Thank you so much
I think I might try those 2 when I can
Definitely worth it if and when you can Paul - good luck and let us know how you get on!
@@GolfalotTV I have a fitting booked for Thursday, I'll be in touch afterwards with my thoughts
What I want to know is how the Apex DCB compares with the Bertha B21. Pros and cons of just the two.
Hi Jay, you can see our full written reviews of both irons via Golfalot.com
@@GolfalotTV I have seen the reviews. I fall in the range of the DCB and B21 irons, so at this time it's most important for me to focus on just the "two" without throwing in the rest of the Apex line for confusion. I have tried going to various Callaway dealors and fitting centers with no help.
Sophie can you do a review of best womens irons for senior players or those that only get to play once a week? Great reviews overal.l
Hey SOPHIE, what irons do you play?
Hi I bought apex 19 irons how would there match against the 21 apex
Hi John, you can see our full review of the 2019 APEX irons via the Golfalot website here: www.golfalot.com/equipment-reviews/callaway-apex-cf-19-irons-review-4153.aspx
Sophie, Santa said ok to new irons and after watching your videos Im down to JPX921 HM PRO (w/recoil95-S) or Apex21 (elevate95-S) w/vibrations help for my baseball elbow. Not able to demo, which would you say is more overall forgiving? Best for vibration help? Feel/sound? 5 index and natural low draw player so height is good too, THX
I want that laser
Hello Sophie, I love the videos. Thank you for all the great information. Would you happen to know how heavy is the total weight of the club head (7 Iron) in grams the Apex DCB is? I have Callaway XR OS Irons and my 7 Iron is 266grams, I play an 80gram speedster steel regular flex and I have no problem getting very good club head speed for my swing... approx 80 - 83mph club head speed. I just sent back the Rogue ST Max OS Irons, the 7 Iron is 272grams, using a steel elevate 85gram shaft and they feel very heavy, club head speed approx 72 - 73mph with the 7 Iron... I will be getting a credit from Callaway and will need to buy a new set of Irons. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Well done.
Is it a longer blade then regular apex
What shafts and flex did you use?
Sophie... please do a review of the APEX Pro 21's ... Thanks..
Coming very soon... You're going to love the video!
Great review Sophie look great irons. How do these compare with T400, Sim max2 and G425 and Mizuno JPX HM for forgiveness? Thanks Sophie!
Hi Seve, please check out my reiews on all of those products via Golfalot.com
@@GolfalotTV Thanks Sophie I have had a look at the Sim max 2 O/S which look great. Thanks to your review on the Taylormade waterproof bag my Buddy has bought one! Love your reviews keep them coming and hope you have a great golfing year in gods country!
Are these irons hollow heads
How would you compare against the mavrik irons
Softer feel and better sound. Definitely not has hot off the face though. I thought the mavrik went miles, I think they’re the longest iron have have tested
@@sophiewalker2542 I've currently got the mavrik was thinking of changing
I am confused you speak up on ping, now Calloway
You stay down on the ball longer when you swing indoors vs out. Check it out yourself.
Nice review Sophie but I’m not sure I want to feel like Annika at address ;)
What does it matter if you feel how you hit it if you can see how you hit it, once it’s hit you can’t take it back. Feel is overrated in my book.
Each to their own MJ! For some people it is paramount!
Good grief Sophie, when I hit out the toe, I miss the grooves 🤦♂️😂😂
First shot almost hit roof
200 yards
Great review. I have been looking at these irons for a while and I think I might get a combo set of them both 👍🏌🏻🏌🏻
Excellent review
