Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel91
- Looks91
- Workability88
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're an elite ball-striker who wants a classic forged blade with total shot-shaping control, pure feel and a clean look.
You need any forgiveness, more distance or an easy launch — a cavity-back or players-distance iron will serve you better.
Pros
- Among the purest, softest forged feels of any blade
- Elite shot-shaping and control in any direction
- A kinder, cleaner-cutting sole than the 21
Cons
- Brutally unforgiving — a tiny sweet spot only elite strikers will find
- Modest distance by design
- A costly, tour-only blade sold club by club
By dimension
Forgiveness
ModestA pure blade with a tiny sweet spot — any miss bleeds distance and stings the hands, barely kinder than the 21.
Distance
SolidYardage isn't the point — traditional lofts on a compact blade trade distance for precise, repeatable gaps a strong player controls.
Workability
ExcellentThe most workable iron in the Apex line — no offset and a compact muscle-back bend shots either way on command.
Feel
Class-leadingThe headline — a one-piece forged 1025 carbon head gives a deep, buttery strike among the softest a blade offers.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted click off the centre that turns sharp and harsh on a miss, so a stray strike is easy to hear.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA stunner at address — a very thin top line, almost no offset and a compact satin muscle-back only a pure striker should game.
