Callaway Apex Utility Woods
Between a wood and a long iron
Smaller than a fairway wood, bigger than a driving iron, and built for the shot that has to start low and stay under a wind. It is a specialist, and we will tell you if you do not need one.
£259
3, 5 and 7 wood
Worth fitting before you buy it. The session fee comes off the price, and we will say so if it makes no difference.

- 04Set on the bench for lie and length before it goes in the bag.
From behind the counter
A utility is the club people buy because a tour player has one. Ask yourself which hole you would hit it on.
