    Default APEX 21 - Would you play all three in a combo?

    Interested in peoples thoughts. For a mid level handicap say 8-12, would you consider getting a three club combo in the Apex 21. Example DCB in 3/4, Apex 5/6/7 and Pro in 8/9/P?

    I thought of that when I had the apex a while back. The issue I came across was apex is strongly delofted like 3 degrees compared to the apex pro. So if you are mixing them, the gap between your 7 and 8 is almost a club.

    Yes I would consider that sort of setup, with any set. Aside from what he ^^ said there is other changes between models like COG height. So me being fussy probably wouldnt like that even though the differnces is intangible.

    I am not even sure what the real benefit might be apart from being able to say I still play blades even if its only my Wedge

    I have sets of the original Apex and Apex Pros and I don't find they blend that well, as mentioned. The Pros aren't particularly friendly for me, a bit harsh in fact. They are 6- PW, so I throw in the Apex 4 & 5, if I bag them. But really I find sticking to just the Apex much better for my game. I am in the HCP range you mention. For the 3i, I bag a Hybrid, an Epic #3 19 usually with these irons.

    Appreciate the insights, I am pretty sure you can get the lofts in an official blended sequence or bend them at least as they are all forged. I've being playing Apex for a number of years and the only issue I have is that when I try to knock in fade occasionaly it just goes straight. I was hoping the pros might give me a bit more chance to work/flight the ball in the scoring irons but yes its probably just the user. Going to do a fitting and see what comes out... Will keep you posted.

    Its a fallacy that cavity backs are harder to shape than blades - IF ball contact is in sweet spot the result is the same.

    The benefits of cavity backed irons only make a difference If the ball is not struck with the middle of the clubface. So if your fades are going straight, you probably missed the middle.

    When I was that cap I loved my set of Titleist 735CM's so I don't see why not.
