About The Callaway Apex Utility Wood

This unique design combines the best features of higher lofted fairway woods, the best features of hybrids, and a more neutral ball flight. Using direct feedback from world-class pros like Phil Mickelson and Xander Schauffele, Callaway has created a multi-purpose club that better players can rely on from the tee, fairway, or rough.

 

Tour Inspired Compact, Workable Shape & Optimized Length
The distinct clubhead shaping is inspired by in-depth feedback from TOUR pros. It’s a compact profile that they want to shape their shots for enhanced control. Club lengths are set between a fairway wood and a hybrid, allowing for versatile playability while still being easier to hit.

 

High Launch, Consistent Control and Tighter Dispersion
17.6 grams of MIM’D Tungsten Weighting per club. Callaway has precisely positioned the Center of Gravity in a neutral location for an exceptional combination of high launch, steeper landing angles, consistent spin characteristics, reduced draw bias, and 17% tighter downrange dispersion.

 

High Velocity Ball Speeds
Callaway's Jailbreak A.I. Velocity Blades are engineered to increase vertical stiffness near the sole of the club, creating more speed low on the face where players often mishit their hybrids. These blades allow the Face Cup to flex on the crown for better spin rate consistency, and the bars are spread to enhance torsional stiffness, leading to more forgiveness across the face.

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag?  I currently have a 3 wood, 18* hybrid and 22* hybrid...I need something to replace my hybrid and allow me to loft up my 3 wood or replace with a 4 wood to give me better options on short par 4s or long par 5s

Grand Rapids, MI area

7.6

It would slot in between the balky driver and the cranky 3 hybrid, the latter of which could be sent to the bench.

Finding anything I can hit between driver and 4h has been an odyssey of near-biblical proportions.  Plus, it looks great.

Photos?  Yup.  Review?  Yup.  Ongoing testing?  Yup.  Guaranteed to include some FAIL, no extra charge.

 

 

 

[yoose]

1. San Francisco, Ca

2. 20

3. It would replace my 3 wood

4. I am much more consistent with my hybrids than woods. Hoping this would replace my 3 wood. 
5. Yes!

[cz13X4]

City, State? Altoona wi

2. Handicap? 10

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? Between 5 iron and 3 wood. That slot needs to be filled and I have yet to find a permanent replacement

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? Have used 7 woods in the past and hybrids. 7 wood spins too much and hybrids too low of launch. Need a combo of the two which is the uw. 

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Yep!

[Rbsiedsc]

1. City, State? Hillsboro  OR

2. Handicap? 22

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? Between 16* super hybrid and 4i

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? See if it can give me more playability than my 18* 3H and give me soft landings into par 5s

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Yes

[agood3putt]

In a post below, answer the following questions

1. City, State? Irvine, CA

2. Handicap? 15

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? After 4W and before 5 iron! 

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? Replacement for hybrids that hook on me a lot and 7W that goes too high! 

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread. Yes! 

[benthegolfer]

1. City, State? Stuart, FL

2. Handicap? 3 

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? Bridge gap between 4 iron and 3 wood 

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? Never quite been a 5 wood guy because of the extra length / afraid it'd launch too high. Very intrigued by this club as it is a lot closer to a hybrid in size but would probably cover distance gap even better / be more consistent with the larger head. 

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? yes of course! 

[Chickatabow]

1. City, State? Fairmont, WV

2. Handicap? 8.7

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? The UW would fit into my bag as a 2i Hyb/5w replacement. I'd look to hit this club off the tee for a fairway finder & off the fairway for long shots.

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? The aesthetic of the club really fits my eye. I also like the fact the club head is set & not adjustable, as is my current 2i hyb. I need a go to club at the top of my bag & I really want to see if this club will be it!

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Yes!

[Golf4lifer]

1. Aurora, CO. 

2. 7.1

3. I need a club between my 3 wood and 4 iron and it would be used for multiple purposes, Hybrid/ fairway from all types of lies.

4. Looking for a versatile club that fits the longer clubs in the bag. 

5. yes I agree 

[NAM2212]

1. City, State? Naples, FL

2. Handicap? 8.8

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? Probably replace my 4 wood

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? Would like to see how it compares to hitting a fairway metal off the deck

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Certainly 

[gophers79]

1. City, State? Bloomington, MN

2. Handicap? About a 2.  Hover between 0 and 3

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? I have very low dynamic loft, so I've always had trouble hitting lower-lofted irons and fairway woods.  I currently don't play a fairway wood at all, just a 21* hybrid and a 24* hybrid before going into my 4 iron. 

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? I think a 17* or 19* UW would either be a solid replacement for my longer hybrid, or could be an additional / longer option at the top of my bag that would allow me to play weaker hybrids and remove my 4i.

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Happy to!

[tetraulj]

1. City, State? Lino Lakes, MN

2. Handicap? +1.5

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? It would be taking the place of my driving iron.

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? I love my driving iron but it does not have the stopping power to hold greens going for par 5s in two.

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Of Course!

[VNutz]

1. City, State?  Villa Park, IL

2. Handicap?  4.9

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag?  Either replacing my 5w or 3h

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood?  The end of this season left me with some issues in the bag between the driver and the irons that I want to fix. This club could be the perfect fit.

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Absolutely

[darkhelmet]

1. City, State?  Memphis, TN

2. Handicap?  12ish right meow (just back after a long surgery layoff)

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag?  Need something in the 5w / 4i section of the bag as something that I can hit high from distance and that I can hit out of bermuda rough.  Current 5w is awful out of the rough, so I'm mainly hitting mid/short irons out when I land there.

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood?  Looks like an easy to hit club, high launching, hot face

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? Yes

[SUPERG]

1. City, State? - San Antonio TX 

2. Handicap? - 4.7

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? Between 3 wood and 4 iron as a 5wood/3H replacment

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? - the low spin and versatility I need in that slot in my bag!

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? - YES! 

[awtryau89]

1. City, State? Hoschton Georgia

2. Handicap? 10.5

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag? This would replace my hybrid

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood? I have been looking for a club longer than my hybrid but easier to hit than a 5 wood. I've tried many 5 woods and just are not as accurate. This would also be interesting to see if it could take the place of my 3 wood from the fairway as I play a low lofted 3 wood and its not the best from the grass.

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread? For Sure!!!

1. City, State?  Germantown, TN

2. Handicap? 8.7

3. How would the Apex Utility Wood fit into your bag?  This club would slot between my 4 wood and 4 iron

4. Why do you want to test the Callaway Apex Utility Wood?  I have been eyeing this club as what looks to be what I am looking for in this spot of my bag.  I do not get along with hybrids, and driving irons are not great for me off the deck and out of the rough.  This club appears to have the versatility and profile that I am searching for to fill this gap. 

5. Do you agree to take high quality photos, write an in-depth review, and be part of an on-going testing thread?  Of course, more time to spend online in golf forums!
