Callaway Apex UW utility wood £339
Golf Monthly
|October 2025
Entering its third generation, Callaway’s Apex UW is a unique golf club.
Not quite a hybrid, not quite a fairway wood, it’s a mysterious third option to help golfers fill the all-important gaps at the top of the bag. What is not mysterious is how popular this club has been on tour and with the better ball-strikers of the world. Golf Monthly's very own Joe Ferguson loves this club so much, he’s got two in his bag.
For those seeking the perfect blend of a fairway wood’s power and a hybrid’s versatility, the Apex UW looks to be the best of both worlds. The new model has been designed with input from the world’s best, with its compact, refined shape and neutral face angle looking to deliver ultimate workability from tee or turf.

PACKAGE SETS
Why would you buy a package set as opposed to selecting different irons, woods, wedges and a putter? Primarily, convenience - it can save you hunting around and doing lots of research for all the clubs you need. For a lot of golfers, especially those who don't play very often, it's a more appealing option. Although we always recommend going down the custom-fitting route, the fact is, this isn't for everyone.
