The Callaway Apex CF16 is a golf set that utilizes Face Cup technology to make the clubs easy to hit while still making a longer impact between the ball and the club face. But what range of handicap golfers should use the Callaway Apex CF16?
Callaway Apex CF16 is best for low and mid-range handicap players. The irons use Face Cup technology which gives more distance on iron shots, but you need a good, consistent swing to see the benefits of this technology.
This article explains what handicap range the Callaway Apex CF16 is best for and why. You can also find information on the Callaway Apex CF16 specs.
What Handicap Are Callaway Apex CF16 For?
The Callaway Apex CF16 is a golf set best for low and middle-handicap golfers. For golfers with a consistent swing, the highlight of these clubs is you can get more distance on all your iron shots.
The Callaway 360 Face Cup technology helps make the ball fly farther and more consistently for the three to seven irons. Studies have shown that the clubs with Face Cup technology, like the Apex CF16, add 15 to 20 yards (13.7 to 18.3 meters) to every shot. It works because of how the club head is shaped and the thinness of the club head. Because the cup face is spring-like, it gives the ball a lot of pop and miss forgiveness.
However, just because this technology helps the ball fly farther on your iron shots doesn’t mean it’s good for beginners and high handicapped players who want more distance. You need to have a good, consistent swing if you want to benefit from the Face Cup technology, which is a major reason why Callaway Apex CF16 is better for more established players with a low or mid-range handicap.
The eight and nine irons and the wedges have a special faceplate that helps you control the distance and feel of the ball. Once again, players with experience, those with a lower handicap, will benefit the most from this feature.
But, even though this set is for more established players, it will still help with game improvement as you will get more distance on your long iron shots and more accuracy on your approach shots.
Callaway Apex CF16 Specs
If you’re trying to decide if the Callaway Apex CF16 clubs are right for you based on your handicap, you should know the specs of the clubs too. The standard set comes with a four iron through a pitching wedge, but some also include an approach wedge.
The clubs have a steel shaft, which is the True Temper XP. As for the shaft’s flexibility, you can get the Apex CF16 set with an S300 shaft, which is a stiff shaft, or an R300, which has regular flex.
