Callaway unveils new Apex Ti Fusion irons

Published

on

Callaway has today unveiled its Apex Ti Fusion irons.

The Apex Ti Fusion irons feature an industry-first forged titanium face that promotes faster ball speeds for increased power. Callaway’s brazed titanium construction capitalizes on the power of a titanium face combined with the excellent forged feel of steel.

Titanium, the same material used in driver faces, is designed to produce a larger sweet spot in an iron than possible with steel. The titanium face allows for more deflection and interaction alongside Callaway’s patented urethane microspheres. This interaction coupled with a forged, steel body is designed to provide a unique feel that is typically only found in single-piece forged irons.

The titanium Ai Smart Face is designed to yield incredibly consistent ball speed, spin, and dispersion, for a 2-piece iron with consistency like a muscleback.

In addition, a premium DLC Finish Ti Fusion boasts a new, ultra-premium Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) finish, more durable than PVD.

The Apex Ti Fusion irons are available at retail starting August 16 with a price of $2100 for a standard 7-piece set.

Club Junkie’s Take

Apex Ti Fusion

I didn’t know what to expect, but it wasn’t these irons! From the rumblings I heard I figured a titanium faced, forged iron would be big and have a ton of offset for high handicap players. Turns out I was wrong and Callaway has produced a tech packed iron for the low to mid handicap player that wants it all. Ti Fusion irons feel WAY softer than I thought they would with a super muted sound. I always think of titanium as making a nice metallic “ting” sound but in the Ti Fusion the irons are more of a knock and butter soft feel. Distance is effortless and the irons are so easy to hit. I was hitting most of the set really well, so asked for the 4 iron and proceeded to hit 4 balls dead down the middle. The flight was high yet penetrating and the ball seemed to spin a decent amount, giving me a real sense of control with the irons. Size is much smaller than I expected, with a thin topline and just slightly stretched blade length. There is a little bit of offset in the irons but overall Callaway did a great job with the size and shape of the Ti Fusion irons.

    It is far from an industry first. Ti irons go back 20+ years. Tommy Armour Ti100 in 1997. Called shovels, because they were rather LARGE.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

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.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
