FEEL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Callaway did a remarkable job keeping the feel similar throughout the Apex family.\u00a0 Even though the Apex DCB irons are much larger than the Apex Pro, they deliver a similar crisp, snappy sound on center.\u00a0 Also like its smaller brothers, the Apex DCB gets loud and cranky when you miss the center of the face.\u00a0 This clear audio feedback is important to improving your ball striking \u2013 you need to know there\u2019s a problem to fix it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PERFORMANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The handy comparison chart on Callaway\u2019s website gives us a good idea of what to expect from the Apex DCB compared to its two smaller brothers.\u00a0 It has the same technology elements in the same clubs as the Apex, save the 3 iron, which doesn\u2019t exist in the DCB model.\u00a0 The Apex DCB also has a larger head, a wider sole, and lofts that are typically 0.5 degrees stronger than the Apex.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of performance, the first thing that jumped out about the Apex DCB irons is the ball speed.\u00a0 Callaway\u2019s AI designed Flash Face Cup puts loads of go juice into the ball.\u00a0 Combine that with the strong lofts and you have the recipe for very long iron shots.\u00a0 The DCB is also quite good at preserving ball speed when you miss the center.<\/p>\n<p>As with most strong lofted irons, there can be a concern about holding greens.\u00a0 In my testing, I found the DCB to be at or just below my lower limit for spin and landing angle, but it needs to be noted that I\u2019m a low launching player.\u00a0 Those who hit the ball on average or high trajectories may find these to be ideal.\u00a0 As always, fitting is the key.<\/p>\n<p>Callaway offers the Apex irons in a variety of combo sets, and I\u2019d suggest that golfers take advantage of that.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t find the Apex DCB to be hugely more forgiving than the Apex, but for the mid handicap player, the look of the DCB may be more comforting.\u00a0 I could also see taking advantage of the \u201cTriple Play\u201d combo set to get maximum forgiveness in the long irons and Pro precision in the scoring clubs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a mid-handicap player looking to take advantage of all the available forgiveness or a higher handicap player who wants Apex in the bag, the Callaway Apex DCB irons will fit the bill.\u00a0 These irons are very long and provide plenty of forgiveness for the days your ball striking isn\u2019t up to par.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLUB TYPE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0IRONS SET MAKE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 CALLAWAY MODEL:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0DCB APEX LENGTH: CONDITION:\u00a0 \u00a0Used Weight: Lie Angle:\u00a0<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"product_cat":[15,20],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/1302"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=1302"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=1302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
