The Callaway Apex UW ’24 hit store shelves in September 2023 with a versatile design that combines the benefits of your higher-lofted fairway woods and easy-to-hit hybrids.
This innovative club promotes a neutral ball flight so you can work it left-to-right or right-to-left and is said to deliver exceptional precision.
The UWs were released along with the new Apex MB, Apex CB, Apex Pro and Apex UT ’24 irons in a complete new upgrade of the Apex series.
Callaway touts their latest release as “the go-to option for the best players on Tour” but let’s take a look at what it can do for you.
Callaway Apex Utility Wood Specs & Design
Designed with input from Callaway’s stable of Tour pros, the Apex UW have shaft lengths that measure between those of your fairway woods and hybrids.
They have a more compact profile for better control, tighter dispersion, higher launch and shot-shaping success.
The new Apex UW can be hit off the tee to tight fairways and narrow greens, from the short grass when your long irons won’t get you there or from the rough when you have no better option.
One of the key design elements is Callaway’s all-new streamlined Cutwave Pro Sole.
Callaway also implemented its AI-designed Batwing Technology at the perimeters of the club head for a stiffer body that promotes a flexing of the maraging steel face, increased ball speeds and greater distance on off-center contact.
The Callaway Apex Utility Wood is available in 17 degrees, 19 degrees and 21 degrees lofts to comfortably fill those gaps in your long game.
They’re offered in regular, stiff and extra-stiff flexes to suit all swing speeds.
