With three new irons in the Apex Pro series (Apex Pro, Apex CB and Apex MB), Callaway refocuses its efforts on the distinct demands of elite players. Specifically, that means a heavy emphasis on improving sole designs for more effective turf interaction, tweaking centers of gravity to dial in those specifically for each model and each iron within each model,…
Callaway updates the Big Bertha line of woods and irons, the company’s super game improvement collection. The mix includes a large-faced driver designed for spin reduction and slice-reduction, fairway woods and hybrids with high-strength steel alloy face cup designs and irons jammed with more than 50 grams of tungsten to lower the center of gravity and stabilize the head for…
Callaway’s latest irons line—the Paradym Ai Smoke—combines advance machine learning with big data. The result is a face designed with a unique topology for every iron that creates a series of sweet spots across the face. The line features three models geared towards specific player types. The standard Ai Smoke targets average to high swing speeds; the Max Fast is…
Cobra debuts the latest version of its Air-X line of clubs, including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons designed with lighter weights to appeal to more moderate swing speeds. Among the notable improvements are a major boost in off-center hit forgiveness (moment of inertia) and slice-fighting technologies on the driver (an offset option, heel weighting, more upright lie angle) and…
Cobra seeks to build on its Aerojet irons with its follow-up, the Darkspeed. More than just a modest tweak, the Darkspeed makes meaningful moves forward with a new hollow-body construction that is filled with a lightweight foam. Combined with a revised internal “bridge” and face design it results in perhaps Cobra’s longest iron to date. $143 per club; $1,144 for…
Cobra is introducing limited edition runs of its King Forged TEC players distance iron and more forgiving Forged TECx iron in specially developed black finishes designed for increased durability. The two designs feature the same technologies as the original Forged TEC and Forged TECx irons, introduced last April. $1,300 (steel), $1,400 (graphite) for 4-iron through pitching wedge (seven clubs).
Cobra’s latest iron introductions include a revamped King Tour model and an update to the company’s CB/MB model. All employ a five-step forging process that not only produces repeatable shapes and spec tolerances, but enhances the feel of the iron as well. A King Tec utility iron also was introduced for those needing more help getting their long irons airborne.…
Four new Srixon Z-series irons aim to give different classes of players help with the things that matter to them most while still providing a fairly classic shape that all demand. The muscle-back blade Z-Forged II and ZX7 Mk II place an emphasis on consistency and feel while the ZX5 Mk II provides more distance technology. The ZX4 Mk II…

TaylorMade’s fourth-generation P·790 irons continue the trend of bringing high-speed face flexing and a progressive approach to forgiveness across the full set in the guise of compact shaping that better players prefer as much as those aspiring to be better players. Again, the key is a hollow construction, but among the more dramatic improvements is how slugs of tungsten are…
Although TaylorMade’s P-Series irons are aimed at better players, its new Qi and Qi HL irons are geared more towards those needing a little help. That is expertly achieved through a suite of technologies that combine to deliver optimal performance in each individual iron head. For the Qi HL irons, that includes lofts approximately 2 degrees weaker and club weights…
