The Callaway Apex MB features a compact muscleback or minimal cavity design with a thin topline and minimal offset, providing direct feedback and precision shot-shaping at the cost of forgiveness on off-centre hits. At impact it delivers crisp, precise feedback - you will feel every strike clearly, whether it's centred or not.
The Callaway Apex MB's 7-iron is lofted at 35° - traditional - aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 133-143 yards. The 5-iron (27°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 49° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.
The Callaway Apex MB (2021) 7-iron has a loft of 35°. This is a more traditionally lofted 7-iron, which keeps your scoring iron distances predictable and well-gapped.
