Callaway Apex Ai200 irons have been launched for 2024 as the first set to feature artificial intelligence in the design in the shape of the Ai Smart Face.
The Apex series has long been Callaway’s premier irons and there are now three more options following the unveiling of the Ai200, Ai300 and Ti Fusion models.
The series joins the 2024 Apex irons that feature the Pro, MB and CB versions, with the Ai200 models described as the players’ option.
Featuring the Ai Smart Face for the first time as well as a new hollow-body design with forged 455 Face Cup, the Ai200 is a seriously impressive new addition to the market.
Callaway Apex Ai200 Irons Specs & Design
The Callaway Apex Ai200 irons have been designed for players seeking a blend of distance and precision with artificial intelligence used for the first time.
The Ai200 irons include Callaway’s groundbreaking Ai Smart Face technology, this being the innovation introduced into the Ai Smoke driver and which uses real golfer swing data combined with artificial intelligence.
The artificial intelligence has helped generate outstanding speed and spin consistency across the face of the new irons with a more predictable performance on both center and off-center strikes.
The AI-designed face expands the effective hitting area, particularly in the lower heel and toe sections. It has also been aided by the extended 455 Face Cup, which now provides more flex on impact.
The combination has helped deliver an improved ball flight with increased launch angles, higher spin rates, and steeper descent angles into greens for better overall control and stopping power.
Now boasting a slightly shorter blade length, thinner topline, and narrower sole compared to previous models, the Ai200 has a premium profile that appeals to low-handicap and elite level golfers.
Precision MIM (Metal Injection Molded) weights have been optimized in this model and strategically positioned to ensure the ideal CG placement through the set for maximum forgiveness.
The Ai200 irons are available in 4-iron (21 degrees) to Approach Wedge (48 degrees).
Callaway Apex Ai200 Irons Review: Are they any good?
After the successful launch of the Ai Smoke range of drivers, fairway woods and hybrids, it was only a matter of time before the artificial intelligence was used in premium Callaway irons.
The Ai200 are seriously impressive with the Ai Smart Face technology helping to expand the sweet spot of the latest Apex model and deliver more ball speed, accuracy and forgiveness.
It is the blend of distance, consistency and control that separates it from other players’ distance irons and the Ai200 is set for a big future in 2024 and beyond.
