Club Champion made a huge mistake not capitalizing on the TXG brand. Club Champion should be the one changing the name, not the other way around. There’s way more trust and brand equity in the TXG name. What a miss

I admit, it’s sad to see Club Champion instead of TXG. I understand the business/corporate reasons for consistency in the name change. But for me, Ian and TXG was always and still is the gold standard for fitting.

Such a shame for the rebrand. Horrible experience at club champion. Sad to see TXG come to an end

The end of an era gentlemen.

Why does a name change seem so significant to me?! At least we’re keeping the OG music intro ❤️

Didn't expect them to wipe the TXG name off the channel completely. Even if things don't change day to day, it's sad to see the brand that we all loved and all bonded over disappear into nothingness.

I was sad to see TXG name disappear on the channel. I feel this was a big miss for how club champion could have branded. “TXG, a club champion brand” would still been good enough to try and steal the good reputation TXG built up while also protecting TXG from any negative experience from the other. They could have marketed as TXG being their “premiere experience/fitters”. Truly insulating TXG but also building up club champion.

Club Champion is garbage. All they care about is getting the most possible money out of you and if you don't make a purchase at the end of your fitting they refuse to give you your build/spec sheet claiming it's "proprietary" It was a good run TXG but I can't rock with you anymore.

TXG was the Halo brand in premium fitting. Such a puzzling decision for CC to just get rid of it. It’s not like Twitter where market perception has soured so it seems like pure hubris. Hopefully Ian is the one leading the efforts for the universal fitting system.

Dropped the ball on the rebrand. Club Champion fittings are no where near the experience that TXG would provide.

long live TXG

The rename to Club Champion is shit, especially when the screens still have TXG on them in the video 😂 nothing wrong with TXG, A CLUB CHAMPION BRAND

This is like ESPN. WHY would someone get rid of something when the CONSUMERS themselves tell you what they want. WE want to see TXG Branding because that's what we ORIGINALLY signed up for. I never subscribed to Club Chapion. I don't care about the business you guys do outside of KZfaq but this platform is being used and I feel used. TXG is a name we all knew and respected. Club Champion doesn't even have a good ring to it. It gives me Fast Food vibes

I demo'd an Apex Pro 7i this weekend. I'm a mid-handicapper, but I had good instruction as a youth and I understand how to deliver the club and work the ball. The difference in performance from my old cavity backs was mind blowing. The face is lively. Laying one baby draw on top of the other. Hit a fade, hit a draw, back to straight. It was all so easy. The tech today is incredible, there's no other way to say it. Combined with proper fundamentals and dedicated practice to groove in your consistency, I can't see how anybody, give 2-3 years of work, couldn't get into single digits these days. There's no excuse.

I’ve had clubs fit at TXG Toronto and my local CC in Michigan. Both were great experiences. I do recognize people haven’t had as good experiences with CC but as long as Ian is still the leader at “TXG”, I don’t think anyone getting fit there has to worry about a thing.

Ian nailed it w/ the turf interaction. Just got the Srixon w/ the vsole and it’s completely changed my iron game .

Rose Zhang was gaming the vanilla Apex '21s.

As a fitter I have gotten the chance to hit them already and I will be moving into these when they release, as they are a great looking combo... The feel is great and matches the look... Combo perfection here!

So club champion forced you to rebrand? What a shame.

Only complaint I had with my srixon z585 I was fit for at CC was price. The fitting was good but paid for that plus the shafts I got fit into were +30 each. I didn’t check till after but same shafts had no up charge direct from srixon. Cost about 350 extra for my set from CC.

it feels like putting a Honda badge on a Ferrari, I’ll still never go to a Club Champion, however TXG will still get my business regardless of name

This video was great for showing the new irons from my personal favorite golf brand! I’ll never be good enough to play a cb or MB but these things are so great I’m going to strive to get good enough to be fit into the apex pro’s 😅 Thanks for the inspiration to take more lessons and get better before my next set!

I respect the txg opinions/reviews so much. Just don’t need the brand ambassador there for an infomercial. That’s just me. I’m sure I’m in the minority.

Really excited for this Apex series. I played the X forged, liked the blade length but not the offset. I now play TCB to get less offset and accepted shorter blade length. The Apex CB really seems to be what I was looking for between X forged and TCB.

Been waiting for these irons for over a year now, can’t wait to get the triple combo set

He’s right about the sole interaction, I had a set of 2018 apex mb and they almost encouraged me to swing with a downward angle of attack (which isn’t always the case for me)

Love the look of the CB’s. Very impressed by the MB’s as well

TXG could’ve been the “Genesis” to Club Champion’s “Hyundai”. No need for name change

The sole convo was a revelation to me. I tend to hit "harder to hit" clubs in a brand better than the others purely due to turf interaction. I have had a few and tried lots, and this happens across most brands. The only place that really talks about this is PXG - they use their models to fit you into irons by how you interact with the turf just as much as any other factor. I went in and didn't expect to even touch their "T" irons but got fit to them because I made SO much better contact with them compared to the thicker sole models. I love hearing reps talk about this - it's so undervalued in fitting like Ian says here.

X forged were the only iron I've ever ordered and returned based on looking down on the club. Took the restocking fee hit and got tcb, never happier

I love and support TXG and will always support these gents no matter what. Luckily when it comes to my new fit Mr. Laroche is just up the road!

i love my apex pro 21's. they are a gorgeous set of irons and feel incredible. but damn if those apex pro 24's dont look even better. beautiful design

My cbs are back ordered til end of January. I watch this video every other day. Can’t wait for these irons 😢😢

club champion?? what a let down. TXG was the shit

Really digging the look of the new apex line. Can’t wait to hit them pros. Business is business. Best of luck gents.

miss that beautiful TXG logo.

Nice looking clubs with the exception of the bolt on name plate.

Been waiting so long for a release of these. And update. Can not wait to Try these.

6:58 Apex Pro 15:20 Apex CB 22:33 Apex MB

Great presentation. All really nice looking clubs. I have the Callaway Apex Pro 21s and love them. Callaway makes a great iron. I have all the Jaws Wedges as well, 64, 60, 56, and 50.

The 2024 Apex iron family looks outstanding.

Would love to see JW do a range session with Xander Shaufelle on the his swap from TCB to CB!

Interesting video. Liked Ian's review of sole concepts. I think Ian did a video about it a few years ago and it really unlocked how I think about and select irons - so important. On the Callaway side, seemed like these irons are positioned as a dare...e.g. are you good enough to hit these clubs? Will be interesting to see how many folks take up the challenge. Thanks for the sneak peak guys.

PRE-WORN LEADING EDGE!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Will there be Apex and Apex dcb’s ?

Why no txg?

Almost didn't notice the name change until I was hitting the like button

Awesome irons. The CB’s would be my choice…But my Titleist 2021 T100s’s aren’t leaving my bag until the grooves wear out. Loads of internal tungsten = plenty of forgiveness And the feel is amazing

Great video boys! Love having Jdub in the house too

Those CBs are fire. Oh my goodness

Gonna miss the unique name but I get the business uniformity. I’m here for the content..

Just got fitted into mp223’s. Was about to buy today. Man I may be waiting till next year so I can give these a try. Thinking of pro 4-6, cb 7-p would be awesome as long as the new pro doesn’t act like the old pros

I was so confused, i only clicked the video because i wanted to see who was useing TXG's thumbnail style

Love it, boys! As an 8 handicap would I be okay with a Pro long iron and CB short iron combo?

I love the Apex line and I'm glad Callaway is keeping it around but I'm tired of Callaway coming out with new clubs every 4 months.

Great product video here. Love the banter and knowledge while hitting balls. But man, RIP TXG brand 😢

I find it interesting when turf interaction is discussed. Generally the ball is off the face before the interaction takes place. Is it more relative to feel rather than function?

At least they kept the music

Club Champion doesn't have a great reputation. Just a pushy upsale company. Bad idea on the name change.

Got my apex pro 24s 4-9 in pro and 10-11 in the CBs

TXG fans loved TXG and in particularly when the world went nuts. It was a relief from all the hysteria when golf clubs closed ... Why not keeping the TXG brand as a premium brand within the group. It was, and is an interaction between Iand and IronByron Mattie boy. . I love my Oban Devotion 6 which I gave to my Godson when he recently started. A son of a mate gave me a used shortened Oban Devotion 8 which was for a 3wood but fit my 5-wood. I had given him an Ovan Devotion 8, 85 as a driver shaft. I have an Oban isoshi in my hybrid, a Oban kiawa, . I aqcuired an inexpensive sell out Miazaki 7777... . So TXG costed me a lot of dough but opened my mind to a new world. .

Interesting to hear you talk, and manufacturers emphasize bounce/turf interaction in the design. But instructors emphasize forward shaft lean to compress the ball and get longer distances. Doesn’t this lean negate the bounce built into the design?

interesting Johnny is mentioning other company's clubs in comparisons. usually club reps refuse to acknowledge the existence of other brands

I'm waiting for the clubs for us mere mortals .

I wish terf interaction was something I had to take into consideration. Around here, there aren’t any courses that employ terf. It’s a thin layer of grass and then the hard pan. Club gets through the ball and then bounces off the ground. Don’t even know if there is a course around here that sods their fairways

I had a bad experience at CC, not many putters to choose from and they used Sam putt lab which is obsolete, I’ve personally never met anyone that went there and had a good experience. There’s a top 100 golf fitter in this area and he’s a lot cheaper than Club Champion. I’m glad Ian got a great payday by selling which he should have for all the work he put in TXG but CC have issues

I thought I was on the wrong Chanel lmao. Not sure how I feel about club champion brand

If the CB is softer than the current TCB, then im in. Looks like it might be given its a one-piece 1025.

sorry, I'm reading some comments about the brand name, who cares what names on what, enjoy the experience, enjoy the first viewing of this new line of Irons, no know cares what we think, 58 years old I had that thought out of my head 25 years ago people,Enjoy!! Like mom said,, if you don't have anything nice to say ,shut up!!

Rebranding TXG to CC is a BIG mistake.

The irons look great!

MBs 😮‍💨

Nice review! I currently play Ping i59’s and was wondering how these compare?

My heart is broken over the rebrand.... 😢

I’ll combo CB 4-7 MB 8-PW let’s gooooo. I’m currently TCB 3-GW

They look great. I played the pro16 for ages, should never have sold them. How available are the weights at the back? Feel like that could really differentiate these off the shelf if you know you can tune your swing weights at home ( notwithstanding fitting is the best place for that but not always possible for everyone)

If doing a blended set do you recommend making the CB or Pro lofts stronger or weaker to one set?

How do they compare to the t150’s would you be tempted to put these in the bag?

Right before the 16min mark, when you started talking about the X-forged having sharp lines, and this Apex CB being softer in form...that is exactly what I was thinking this morning. I have my 2007 X-Forged in the bag this week, and had seen the IG posts about this new line. At first I didn't like the melted butter look, but it is growing on me.

Question for the pro fitters. In a combo set, would you recommend the same shaft from 4i to PW or it would be ok to have one specific shaft for the 4-5-6 and a different one for the 7-8-9-PW? Here’s why I’m asking. I got fitted for a combo 4-5-6 Paradym (weak lofted) and 7-8-9-PW Apex CB (strong lofted) with True temper Elevate 95g shaft. Numbers where dialled in 7 iron 125mph ball, 6000 rpm backspin, carry 180. The issue came when I was ready to order them, Callaway doesn't install that shaft in the CB. I went back to try the True temper Dynamic gold XP 95g S300. Numbers were pretty much the same but feel was not the same probably due to the kick point being mid for the Dynamic gold and low for the Elevate. Which of theses two options would be better and why? 1- Go with the Paradym/CB combo with two different shafts. 2- Go with the Paradym/Apex pro combo to be able to have the Elevate shaft in all irons. Hope I can get some good advice on that. Cheers!

Oh no. Ian's found a new iron to put in the bag. Missing the TXG logos

love it, ty boys, I game TCBs 6,7 2 degrees strong , I'm a low teen HC but believe it or not I can find the middle of the club face, and I don't judge by HC,I go to enjoy the beautiful course and be outdoors,anyway I'm a club golfer maybe once a week, I thought the Apex pro was to hollow soundings for me ,so TCBs it was, beautiful set of irons but wasn't crazy about the looks, feel and sound are the most important to mysef, anyway bla bla bla , ill be calling my Callaway rep, trade ins definitely, The pro in 5,6,7 and CB rest of the way!! could careless about distance, consistency the name of the game same height, spin, distance, ! I have the 6 to Aw in the TCBs I have Wilson Staff CBs 5 thru Pw and Mizuno pro 225 5 thru Pw I wondering what Callaway will give me in return lol lol !! love the content and who esle would they give the first reveal to ,of course you guys!! well deserved as always!!

“Extra Extra Read All About It”… Mikey's Hungry Eyes

Is there going to be an update to the “regular” Apex 21?

Will there be a new apex 24 equivalent to the apex 21 and a new apex dcb ?

Saddened, disappointed and to some extent disgusted to see the end of TXG - such a waste.

Big brands sometimes don’t understand you shouldn’t always change names cause you have acquired another company. Club champion had a KZfaq channel and it wasn’t a success. Most of it was content part of it was the experience CC has given people or lack there of. Business wise it would of been smart to not to change TXG.

Interesting that Callaway has already taken their old Apex Pro off the website. They seemed like a great hollow body iron fit for a larger range of players than they marketed it to. Maybe now I can pick some up at a nice discount.

Hope you got your merch while it was available if you wanted it, maybe they do a heavily discounted sale on the excess?

MBs 😍

Put the TXG logo back

Uhhh...no TXG Brand....sad day

Is it worth bending the apex pro lofts to apex forged lofts to gain distance but still have the spin and look of the apex pro

Big TXG fan. Had a bad experience at CC. So did a friend of mine. Both the fit and build were bad!

I don’t find the Apex Pro to be similar to P770 in looks. I get what Ian was trying to portray, but I find the P770 to be a bit thicker on top and bulky in general.

These look amazing but my TCBs are so so nice I won't be changing soon

Irons look great, but Callaway is again confusing with the naming convention. Before watching this video, I had no idea the MB, Pro, and CB were all part of the “Pro” line. When do the equivalent of the Apex 21 and DCB get released? If they are going to be released at all.

When will the new Apex and Apex DCBs be released?

My miss is usually a little thin-toe. I don't need distance help but I do like to play about 32* at the 7i just to keep my flight down. Sounds like I might need to give these Apex Pros a whack!

Which model would be comparable to the JPX 923 Tour or T150?
