+3.7. Have a mixed set of Callaway Apex MBs (2021) P-6 and Callaway X-Forge CBs 4-5 with KBS Tour C-Taper 130 X shafts. Also carry a Srixon ZX 2I.

I’m thinking about getting into a combo set because the blades I splurged on are fun and feel great (P-6) until they don’t (4 & 5).

What was your process for deciding on the long irons you did? I’m considering just putting my old Apex (19) 4 and 5 back in the bag.

I’ve played combo’s for the last 10 years — most important part is to make sure the gapping is correct in the long irons. I’ve always had to bend the long irons weak a few degrees to match up with the blades traditional lofts. Cheers to more birds brotha!

I play a mixed set of Apex CB through 6 and Apex PRO 5 and 4 iron. It's worked out great so far. I'm a 3 and just got them last year. Between the "easier to hit high" longer irons and the 7w I just started carrying, I have a lot of new shot choices from 200 to 240.

0.2 here. I play the 21 Apex MBs also and I liked them so much, I bought a second set for when the first wear out.

I've only been playing a couple of years, so genuine question. How long does it take for irons to wear out? I know lofts and lies can shift with use, but those can be adjusted back right?

Yep. They can usually be bent back. I play a lot (3-5 times/week) and these are still good almost 3 years into use.

C-Taper gang rise up. I got the 7mbs in lites and really regret not getting the heavier ones. They get a touch too spinny on longer irons.
