The clubs have a lot of loft, allowing you to get the ball in the air while the Tungsten Weighting keeps the center of gravity low.
You shouldn’t have any problems getting the ball in the air with these Irons.

Callaway Apex DCB Irons – Best For High To Mid Handicappers
Category: Game Improvement Irons
Callaway Apex DCB First Impressions
We knew that the Callaway Apex DCB irons targeted mid to high handicappers but they don’t feel like it.
Right from the gate, we were blown away with the feel of these irons. The feel of the forged 1025 carbon steel is amazing. It allows for a solid feel at contact with feedback you would expect from tour-grade irons.
Assisting with the soft feel of these irons is the layer of urethane microspheres included in the head. We also liked that the sole had a substantial footprint.
This will play well with high handicappers at it just looks more comforting at point of address.
The Callaway Apex DCB irons are available with graphite UST Mamiya Recoil Dart shafts and steel True Temper Elevate ETS 85 shafts.
The graphite shafts will certainly be more beneficial for high handicap players so those were the ones we tested.
The 4 and 5 irons are what we tested first and we were impressed with the distance and launch. The set starts with a 4 iron at a considerable 20 degrees of loft then jumps up to 23 degrees in the 5 iron.
The Callaway Apex DCB irons certainly impressed with their feel, distance and launch.
Distance: 94/100
Accuracy: 95/100
Forgiveness: 92/100
Feel and Control: 93/100
Overall Score: 94/100

Callaway Rogue Irons – Best For Mid Handicappers
Category – Game Improvement/Distance Irons
Callaway Rogue – First Impressions
You can feel the power in these irons from the moment you pick them up. The clubs are solid, the lofts are strong and there is no question that these are built to make the ball fly.
What Callaway tried with the Rogue irons clearly worked as they have kept so many of their features in the new clubs and as soon as you get them on the course, you can see why.
The clubs are going to add distance to your game, especially if you are upgrading from a beginner set and it would not be uncommon for high handicappers to shave 5 or 6 shots of their round with these.
strong lofts with tungsten weighting gets a high and far flight while the flashcup face is built for speed and forgiveness.
Urethane microspheres absorb any unwanted vibrations and these are a really nice set of irons for any player.
Distance: 96/100
Accuracy: 94/100
Forgiveness: 94/100
Feel And Control: 91/100
Overall Score: 94/100

Callaway Apex 21 Pro Irons
Category: Player’s Performance Irons
Callaway Apex 21 Pro First Impressions
We were really impressed with the sleek “notched” muscle back design of these irons.
This gives them a unique look among muscle back irons and may even make the transition from cavity back to muscle back irons less jarring for some players. What struck us even more is what we saw at the point of address.
The Callaway Apex 21 Pro irons have the lease offset and narrowest sole of any entry into the Apex family. For the better testers in our party this was no problem but for the rest of us, it took some getting used to – and some of us never did.
Still, the feel could not be ignored. On full swings, the The Callaway Apex 21 Pro’s felt soft and buttery. On pitches and short approaches, you get all the detailed feedback you need to inform your shots.
The Callaway Apex 21 Pro irons won’t play as long as standard distance irons if you are a high handicapper but distance should be no problem with these irons if you are a more advanced player.
Distance: 91/100
Forgiveness: 89/100
Feel and Control: 94/100
Value: 92/100
Overall Rating: 96/100

Aidan Lehane here, I’m a Mid-low handicap golfer who has made tremendous progress in breaking 90 in just over 1 year of playing golf seriously.
I get out to the course or range as often as possible and review all the equipment I’ve come across on this blog.
