We’re are bringing another newly launch product by way of the latest additions to Callaway’s renowned Apex line of irons—the Apex Ai200 and Ai300 to member testing.
The Apex line has a rich history, originally stemming from the legendary Ben Hogan brand, and has been a go-to for serious golfers since Callaway adopted it. Known for combining the feel of a forged iron with cutting-edge performance, the Apex irons have continually evolved to meet the needs of today’s players.
These new models claim to represent a significant leap forward in golf club technology, blending Callaway’s advanced artificial intelligence design with premium forged construction. The Ai200 is designed for players seeking a balance of distance and precision, featuring a sleek, fully forged hollow-body construction. On the other hand, the Ai300 caters to those needing a more forgiving, game-improvement iron without sacrificing the feel and control that better players demand. Both models are designed to deliver superior consistency, performance, and a modernized look and feel, which is where you come in.
About the testing opportunity
We are seeking three Forum members to test, review, and keep a set of the new Callaway Apex Ai200 or Ai300 irons.
This is your chance to put Callaway’s latest innovations to the test and provide honest feedback on how these clubs perform in various playing conditions. We’re looking for golfers who are eager to evaluate the distance, forgiveness, and precision claims made by Callaway and share their experiences with these new irons.

If you’re thinking, “I don’t care how to clean golf grips, I just want to see how MyGolfSpy justifies such a useless task,” let us be the first to tell you: Cleaning your grips will keep them in good shape for longer. It’ll also make them less slippery, which means you can relax your hands and—maybe—hit better shots.
Of course, with so many tack-restoring approaches scattered around the fairways and sand traps of the internet, it can be hard to find the actual best way to clean grips. Look no further. We tested several methods and are confident we’ve figured it out.
Basic golf grip cleaning tips
The recommended methods below will work regardless of whether you’re cleaning rubber, cord, or some sort of synthetic polymer, but you may find one works better for you and your grips than it did for us. As long as you like how it feels, that’s all that matters. Cleaning each grip took one to two minutes so you’ll probably end up leaving them to dry for longer than you spent scrubbing.
Warning: Do NOT submerge your grips. Dunking them risks water getting into the butt end of the grip and into the shaft where it can corrode your club from the inside. Greg Cavill, Golf Pride‘s global head of engineering, recommends holding each club with the hole pointing down as much as possible, especially when there’s a risk water will sneak inside.
Method No. 1: Soap and warm water
By far the most popular grip-cleaning method, the classic combo of warm water and soap is hard to beat. It’s Old Reliable, and we think it’s the best of the bunch given its versatility and simplicity. Every club felt noticeably more tacky and fresh when we were done.
As a general commodity, golf apparel is a tricky subject to write about, at least for me. The category has exploded over the last decade or so but it’s often hard to determine what’s best or, at the very least, what’s best for me.
As far as golf apparel performance goes, it all boils down to the material level. Therein lies the big differences, polo to polo and shorts to shorts.
In order to fully highlight these differences and make them simple for both you and I to understand, I took three pairs of shorts from one of my favorite golf apparel brands and compared them side by side by side. On the surface, they’re all comfortable, well-constructed golf shorts. But at the material level, they’re different.
Breaking down the fabrics in each of these shorts should, in theory, lend itself well to the shopping experience as we try our best to navigate the growing sea of golf apparel.
I’m no materials expert (far from it) but as I’ve sought to understand more about what makes golf apparel different, I’ve learned a lot about it. Let’s talk about the fabrics behind some of my favorite shorts and how they contribute to overall performance.

I’ve been fortunate to interview Xander Schauffele about a dozen times since he’s turned pro.
What I’ve noticed about him—similar to other experts in a given craft—is that he’ll share certain golf tips very matter-of-factly, like it’s nothing special. However, when you go back and listen, there’s so much to learn from these truth bombs.
Who cares if he didn’t deliver his thoughts as animatedly as Billy Horschel? Schauffele still shares important tips he’s learned from experience—and that’s something we can all learn from.
Here are four one-liners and concepts Schauffele shared that I believe can help us hackers at home.
1. Don’t put stock into your range warmup
He says amateurs often overthink a lot of decisions and he’s keen on not letting the mind think the tone set on the range carries over much, if at all, to the actual course.
“Honestly, I’ve played some of my best golf shanking it on the range. It’s nice to see good shots on the range but, for the most part, it doesn’t really matter.”
