If you all want to know the truth, the new Callaway Apex MB proto iron wasn’t even supposed to be a thing until way down the line.
It started as a tester iron that hit the Tour for feedback last fall, which is pretty normal, but at some point over the winter Akshay Bhatia requested a set to help dial in his iron game. And how can you say no to Akshay Bhatia? So the first set was built.
And then Min Woo Lee was sent a set to his home in Australia, again, just for feedback, and sure enough he fell in love with them. He brought them with him as his 2025 gamers and that’s when the flood gates slowly started to open.
I posted pictures on my IG, it went bananas and one by one Callaway’s Tour Staff started asking for the “Min Blade.”
On this week’s episode of Fully Equipped, Kellen Watson, Callaway’s Tour rep to Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Min Woo, joins to go deeper on whether these beauties will be so good that even the non-blade users on Tour will become “blade players” and lots more.
It’s always a blast having Kellen on the pod, as his insight is masterclass. To watch the full episode click here.
