Callaway Apex Irons

Callaway Apex Irons

The original Apex broke new ground by becoming the first Face Cup forged irons. They use Callaway’s famed Face Cup technology to promote increased ball speed and long distance, but the Apex still provides that forged feel and performance.

Callaway Epic Irons

Callaway Epic Irons

The GBB Epic irons were a newest addition to the company’s array of clubs and they push the boundaries of performance and technology further than ever before.

Billed as being the “dream irons”, they are hugely impressive with a feel that golfers do in fact dream of. The Face Cup is designed to maximise distance for off-centre ball striking, making it incredibly forgiving.

The Exo-Cage head construction also promotes faster ball speed for longer distance, making them game-changing irons. They don’t come cheap but are industry leading clubs.

Callaway Steelhead XR Irons

Callaway XR Irons

Designed with relatively low handicap golfers in mind, the Steelhead XR irons give more control without compromising on distance.

The are slightly longer in length than the X-14 from which they were developed, but a lighter club head and Cup Face help promote greater ball speed and as a result distance.

The lowering of the centre of gravity helps provides much more control and increased spin with short irons, while not compromising on added distance from longer irons.

Callaway Big Bertha Irons

Callaway Big Bertha Irons

Don’t be fooled by thinking that Big Bertha is just a driver. The original Big Bertha irons are available too and if you want distance added to your game then they are designed perfectly to help you do so.

The technology used in the design promotes faster ball speed without losing any of the forgiveness golfers crave.

The clever design of the club head means it promotes a higher launch and longer carry from long irons but gives increased control from short irons. It is an all round pleaser.

Callaway XR Irons

Incredibly reasonably priced, the XR irons are designed with extreme forgiveness in mind and an ideal purchase for golfers starting out in the game or for mid-to-high handicappers.

The XRs contain Callaway’s Face Cup technology to help increase ball speed and distance with sacrificing on forgiveness from off-centre strikes.

They are an impressive golf club for golfers seeking to improve their scoring.
