Callaway Apex TCB

The Apex TCB irons are much more forgiving than expected, though they're recommended for players with low single-digit handicaps. Customized internal and external MIM'd tungsten weighting allows precise CG location. The external tungsten weight (visible as the back plate with two screws) is adjustable and allows you to change swing weight without altering the CG position. The 17-4 tour-tuned face plate provides extra ball-speed retention. Numbers remained consistent shot to shot, even on strikes that were a little thin. Above-average forgiveness for tour-cavity-back category — much more forgiving than expected + internal/external MIM tungsten + 17-4 tour-tuned face plate, but designed for low single-digit handicaps only.
