SPOTTED: Callaway’s new 2023 Apex MB irons
Is Callaway plotting on releasing a new family of Apex irons? Judging by what we’re seeing on the PGA Tour, it seems that the new, highly-anticipated Apex irons could be on the horizon.
Ahead of the recent 2023 Travelers Championship, GolfWRX.com spotted a new Callaway Apex CB 4-iron in Adam Svensson’s WITB.
This week, ahead of the 2023 John Deere, GolfWRX.com spotted yet another new Apex iron – this time, we photographed Carl Yuan with an entire set of Apex MB 2023 irons.
Here’s what the 7-iron looks like from address…
Also, as Mav McNealy popularized within his custom set of Callaway MB 1-of-1 prototype irons, it appears that the Apex MB set may include a 10-iron. Or, at least, the company made an Apex MB 10-iron available to Yuan.
It’s likely that the “10” iron is just alternative nomenclature for “pitching wedge,” but we’ve yet to hear from the Callaway camp about the new irons. For now, we’re simply left to speculate using photos of the new Apex MB and CB irons for 2023.
We’ll update you with more information about the Apex 2023 lineup as it becomes available. Until then, click here for more photos and GolfWRX Forum member discussion.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Looks a little cleaner than the prior Gen. No big changes and that’s a good thing. I’m sure they’ll be popular amongst the best ball strikers.

I think it’s probably a piece of tungsten.
