Three new options for the upper end of the bag just dropped from Callaway today. The Apex UT, Apex UW, and Apex Ti Super Hybrid.

Each club brings something different to the table, but they all share one thing: premium performance with serious attention to feel, looks, and versatility.

Apex UW

The cult classic is back, and from the looks at address, it takes a good amount of influence from its 2021 sibling. The shaping is much more classic with that blend of fairway wood and hybrid that better players loved. However, inside the traditional look lies a wealth of new technology to enhance performance and consistency.

Callaway engineers installed a 41-gram Tungsten Speed Wave near the face to help maintain ball speed when the ball is struck low on the face, as well as control launch and spin. You will notice a seam on the crown of the club, and that is where weight was saved with the Triaxial Carbon crown without sacrificing strength.

The Step Sole, first introduced on the 2021 model, returns with some shape changes to provide the club with great turf interaction from tight fairway or deep rough lies. This new Apex UW will offer golfers a flatter trajectory and a neutral ball flight for more control over their shots.

Club Junkie’s take

Right out of the box, I loved the look of the new Apex UW. The shape really brings me back to the 2021 model that I loved, and it’s a great blend between a fairway wood and a hybrid. Now, yes, the new model has Callaway’s Triaxial Carbon crown, so there is a small seam on top, but it doesn’t bother me at all. Callaway did a great job keeping the face angle square, and you can see just enough loft on the face of the 19-degree model.

Like the previous version, the 2025 Apex UW produces great ball speed off the face, no matter where you strike it. My first shot was struck low on the face, and I was amazed at how close that ball came to the green. That 41-gram Tungsten Speed Wave really helps, as does the Step Sole design. Lies in the fairway or the rough are easy to hit, and I never felt like the club was being grabbed or slowed down. The trajectory is flatter and boring than a high-lofted fairway wood, while still being neutral.

For me, the Apex UW started off on a very center line and didn’t just want to go left. It seemed like most shots just wanted to go straight, and you could manipulate the head to your chosen shot’s shape. Callaway, of course, has baked in some forgiveness to the head, but I think the better player who wants to control their ball more will really like the new Apex UW.

Apex Ti Super Hybrid

Callaway’s titanium-faced hybrid is back this year with the new Apex Ti Super Hybrid, and it is built for speed. At the heart of the new Super Hybrid is a brazed titanium face. Since you cannot weld titanium to steel, it must be brazed together to achieve a strong, durable bond that withstands any club head speed. Titanium is lighter and designed to be more flexible, allowing it to generate very fast ball speeds across a wide portion of the face. With the weight savings the titanium face offers, Callaway engineers can then move that mass around the head to make the Super Hybrid easy to launch while still being very forgiving on mishits. Callaway has also brought its Step Sole over from the Elyte line to ensure great turf interaction from all lies.

Club Junkie’s take

I remember when Callaway released the first Super Hybrid in 2020, and people were either in love with the large beast or they hated it. This time around, the engineers at Callaway kept the size more manageable while still creating a distance machine. From address the new Apex Ti Super Hybrid looks good with a classic Adams Super XTD look to it. Of course, without the slot in the crown. A light silver metallic paint looks very good in the sun, and the more squared-off toe design will appeal to many golfers. The face is a little shallower than I expected, with a profile that looks closer to that of the current Elyte in depth.

Easy to hit off the tee, and it goes for sure longer than the 4h at 21 degrees that I was hitting. Initially, I was thinking this might be slightly longer than my previous 4-hybrid, but it was a bigger gap. This was more 7-wood distance, even with the shorter shaft in the Super Hybrid. For gapping, I think you need to forget the number associated with the club and try a couple of options around the loft you need to see what will fit your gapping needs the best.

Off the deck, I was also impressed with how effortless it was to hit high, but boring, trajectory shots. It isn’t all distance with the titanium face, as the head is also very forgiving and offers straight and long shots even on mishits. Off-center strikes hold onto a good amount of speed, and you won’t notice a ton of distance loss. The sound is very good if you like a little metallic ting to your hybrids.

Apex UT

Finally, we have the Callaway Apex UT to round out the new releases. Usually, there isn’t much going on with utility irons, but Callaway opted for a high-tech design that incorporates six pieces to help better players get the most out of the top end of their iron set. Flexcore is the new technology that Callaway is using to promote ball speed and distance while still offering a lot of control over the shots.

The multi-material head features a hollow body face that is disconnected from the sole, promoting greater flex and speed. Between the face and back of the club is a polymer that allows the club to flex while dampening sound and feel. This new utility is designed for faster players seeking a more piercing trajectory off the tee or the turf.

Club Junkie’s take

This has to be one of the most interesting-looking utility irons on the market. Callaway has done a fast face in a more interesting way by using Flexcore to disconnect the face and sole of the club. I was concerned that more dirt and debris would get trapped in the slot in the sole, but it remained relatively clean, with just a little bit of grass or dirt that easily wiped away.

While the Apex UT doesn’t feel as hot as the Apex UW or the new Super Hybrid, it definitely has some good distance. I don’t usually play a utility in a 20-degree loft, but it was actually easier to hit than I expected. Off the tee, I was able to hit high, penetrating shots that offered a great option on short par 4s where you had to hit the fairway. Sound and feel are good with a softer and solid feel that is aided by the amount of material between the face and back of the club head. From address, the club looks very good as it has one of the slimmer toplines, and you can only see a touch of the back of the club.
