Apex 21's forged performance and craftsmanship are beautifully presented in a sleek Black Plasma PVD Finish with Sept 9 pre-order
Callaway Apex 21 Black irons offer an extraordinary level of forged performance and craftsmanship, beautifully presented in a sleek Black Plasma PVD Finish. They are available for pre-order on September 9, 2022.
“This is what you want in a forged iron," said Callaway ambassador Xander Schauffele. "Everything from the performance to the feel, launch and control is so dialed in. It's that good.”
Key features and benefits follow:
Legendary performance with a sleek new black finish
Legendary Apex forged performance now comes in a beautiful Black Plasma PVD Finish. It’s an unforgettable design with a premium look, construction and extraordinary feel.
The First Apex Iron Designed With A.I.
Callaway's A.I.-designed Flash Face Cup is available in a forged Apex Iron for the first time. The unique A.I. architecture in each iron creates high ball speeds and increased spin robustness across the face. They’re engineered for impressive distance and pinpoint control.
Consistent Launch and Increased Forgiveness
For the first time, Callaway implemented their Tungsten Energy Core into an Apex Iron. With five times the tungsten of Apex 19, their designers could precisely position the Center of Gravity to promote outstanding launch throughout the set and more forgiveness on off-center shots.
Forged Blade Feel In A Players Distance Iron
Apex Irons are renowned for their pure feel, and Apex 21 is no different. The body of the iron is 100% forged from a 1025 mild carbon steel body, and Callaway's patented urethane microspheres deliver exceptional sound and feel at impact. The improved shaping also helps to enhance feel through the turf.
