For the next few months the driving range will be my best friend, but these clubs are very promising. These irons are not for the once-or-twice-per-month-golfer who doesn't like to practice. One thing I don't like about these irons is just cosmetically: The red paint of the clubs number crakcs quite quick and falls of. The short irons fly high and really bite into the greens, in fact it what the first time that I saw one of my balls rolling backwards on the green. Even with my quite slow swing speed I get approx. On the other hand you get an unbelievable feel when you hit the ball correctly. The steel shafts don't dampen a lof of vibration so these hits go straight into the arm. I recommend you stay away from these driving range boxes with these green, grasslike floor (sorry, don't know the correct English expression for it), especially if you tend to hit the ball fat - touching the ground behind the ball. cutting the ball with the lower edge) can causes real pain in your hands/wrist/arm. learn to swing correctly or forget it: Mis-hits (e.g. But they are "player improvement" irons - i.e. Mis-hits will result in a minor or major loss of distance, and they are definitely not classic "game improvement" irons.

All of them great clubs, but quite expensive over here (All you American golfers should be aware that you're quite lucky, for the prices for clubs in the US are about 30 - 50 % lower than here in Central Europe!).ĭue to lucky circumstances I learned that a a local pro shop they had a last set of Apex Plus at a discount price for Euro 500, for they had been played on the range once (approx.
