From forged blades to titanium-faced irons, here’s every Callaway 2025 iron and who should play them.
Callaway’s 2025 iron lineup is one of the broadest in recent memory, covering the full range, from tour-proven blades to multi-material distance machines. Whether you’re a scratch player chasing trajectory control or a weekend golfer looking for more forgiveness and height, there’s something here for you.
While each iron head is purpose-built, a few technologies show up across multiple models. The Apex Pro, Apex CB, and Apex MB, for instance, all share a forged 1025 carbon steel construction and use a redesigned Dynamic Sole that promotes cleaner turf interaction. Several of the hollow-body designs — like the Apex Ai 200 and Ti-Fusion —incorporate Callaway’s AI Smart Face architecture and internal tungsten weighting to enhance forgiveness and launch. The result is a comprehensive family of irons, each with a clear identity but plenty of shared DNA.
Callaway Elyte
Price: $185 per club
Who it’s for: Higher-handicap players looking for distance and forgiveness.
What you need to know: There are four different versions of the Elyte irons — Elyte, Elyte X, Elyte HL and Elyte Max Fast — but all of them have faces crafted with the help of artificial intelligence to enhance launch, ball speed and consistency. Elyte X has a cavity-back design and larger size to increase stability and make this the most forgiving Elyte iron. The HL stands for high launch, and this version of the Elyte was made to create a higher trajectory and help golfers maximize carry distance. Elyte Max Fast comes standard with a lighter shaft and grip to reduce the overall weight of the irons and make them easier to swing for slower and moderate-speed golfers. Read the full review.
