Callaway Apex Utility Irons
A driving iron, honestly
This is an iron, not a hybrid, and it behaves like one. It flights lower, it turns over, and it asks to be struck. Most players who want one want a hybrid and have not hit both.
£224
Iron length
Worth fitting before you buy it. The session fee comes off the price, and we will say so if it makes no difference.

- Lower flight

- 01Lower flighted and less forgiving than the hybrid it sits beside.
- 02It works into a wind, which is the shot people buy it for.
- 03Hit it and the hybrid back to back. Six shots each usually settles it.
- 04Set for lie and length on the bench.
From behind the counter
Most people asking for a driving iron leave with a hybrid, and score better for it. A few do not, and they were right.

On the bench beside it
Hit these before you choose. Most players guess wrong between them.
