CARLSBAD, Calif.,\u00a0August 15, 2014<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s a great day for elite golfers who like blade irons, and players who can benefit from a high technology utility iron.

Apex Utility Irons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Product Intro<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Our R&D team has loaded up on technology and forged precision in the new Apex Utility Irons. The traditional long iron shape is all about performance and a level of forgiveness and playability that go way beyond what you\u2019d expect from a forged face cavity back design. Precision, versatility, better distance gapping, and (you guessed it) forgiveness are all staples of these new additions to the Apex Family. And for the golfers who are looking for a high technology alternative to hybrids or long irons, these are it.<\/p>\n

Forged Face Cup Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

– <\/strong>This is some serious speed technology that we\u2019re putting into utility irons. The Forged Face Cup helps create higher ball speeds all across the face to get the distance players are looking for out of these clubs.<\/p>\n

Sole Weighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Here\u2019s where some of that \u201chard-to-believe\u201d forgiveness comes from. The sole weighting lowers the CG so that these utility irons are easier to hit and easier to launch.<\/p>\n

Forged Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

– <\/strong>They\u2019re built from high strength 455 Carpenter steel that works very well for generating ball speed.<\/p>\n

Hollow Body Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n

– The Hollow Body is in there to increase forgiveness in a traditional long iron shape to help golfers feel confident over every shot with these clubs.<\/p>\n

Premium Shaft Offerings<\/strong><\/p>\n

– They come standard in a KBS Tour-V or UST Recoil 680 F4 Shaft. We also have additional offerings at no extra charge for players to choose.<\/p>\n
