Callaway 2019 Apex Hybrid Review - I DIDN'T WANT TO LOVE THIS...

[@andyholt7038]

You were smashing that thing man! One that doesn’t go left is compelling to go and test.

[@georgemorgan4269]

Still using and loving my old Adams 19 and 23 degree hybrids. Not about to change at the moment but that looks like a beautiful club. Keep up the good work.

[@chriscapes6544]

Love the look of this and the numbers are obviously great, but I find my F7 rails too comforting on my hybrid/3 wood. Even though I'm 90% sure it's all in the mind, just the thought that I can dig in and get a great result still just fills me with confidence out of bad lies and that's what I feel I need right now.

[@paulfoster5121]

Hi James, love you're reviews and your a really honest bloke, I'm 50 now and been brought out of retirement by my son . I'm just started hitting my irons sweet , however my 3 and 4 iron (witch I could nail 20 yrs ago) need replacing with something much more forgiving . Please help 👍👍👍

[@chrisharris9385]

James I would like to thank you for the suggestion of hovering the club just ground. It seemed to help me hit the ball straighter and further.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I do with the driver mate

[@eyupgolf8271]

Hybrids are like our favourite club, in the market for a new one and this one looks pretty naughty.

[@thecman26]

I just bought a Titleist 818 3 hybrid and it's absolutely phenomenal!

[@richardsdiaz1]

A thank you note of sorts: I had a gapping session this week the main purpose was to sort out my new combo set of AP3/AP2 irons. Once we finished with that I mentioned I wasnt happy with my hybrid so we took a look at it together. I was hitting my Titleist 818 H with a draw every time. I couldn’t fade it! My misses were hooking way too much with it. He told me the H1 was designed with a slightly closed face and a slight draw bias, and a lot of help with launch as well......which IS SO NOT what I need right now! In any case, even when adjusting it in every conceivable way to make it more neutral for me it just didn’t feel right. It just felt weird on oddly balanced in the settings it required to straighten out my hall flight. That’s when I remembered this review and asked him about the Callaway Apex! Unfortunately, they either didn’t have it yet or just didn’t have a lefty version 😡. Not sure. But, it occurred to us that the Titleist 818 H2 is a very, similar club so we decided to try it. All I can say is BOOM! I striped that club from the first swing! My ball flight was instantly neutral and flatter and I could shape shots with it much more easily. Best of all the hook was gone, gone, gone! I have to say they H2 had a much more pleasing look, sound and feel as well. James, I have a new best friend in the bag now! I love this club! So, although I didn’t get the Apex hybrid, this review definitely pointed me in the right direction! So, thank you! PS: I still intend to try the Apex Hybrid if they ever get a lefty version in the shop. 😀

[@locobenno9435]

for some reason I can't use hybrids, I get the lefts with them badly and that bad boy looks like a special for a snap hook, 5-wood all day long for me....keep up the good work JR, cheers

[@banditbaker1675]

As soon as you took the headcover off, the club head screamed ADAMS! It looked like a work of Art! Such a tragedy that Taylor Made acquired Adams Golf and corrupted all their brilliant designs! But the good news is that Mr Adams is back in Golf and running a company called Breakthrough Golf Technology and the REALLY good news is that their Stability Putter Shaft is pure Genius!!!! If you get an opportunity I would love to see you review one?

[@matthewderidder286]

I didn't know this

[@banditbaker1675]

@@matthewderidder286 It looks like an amazing development and Golfers that are using them are reporting excellent results.

[@davidgordon4386]

sweet!

[@MrSomeone544]

Go check out Ben Hogan golf VKTR hybrids. Only $110 each and they're that same shape

[@miltontaylor7750]

Bandit Baker That’s why I find it hard to play anything TAYLORMADE.

[@paulcurotto3884]

Talking of Adams clubs being fantastic. I have two of the 1990s tight lights fairway woods probably the forerunners to the hybrid/ rescue clubs and they are still fantastic clubs to use James.

[@Rexij]

Got the 2016 version, most reliable club in the bag.

[@GaugeWinchester]

Love your channel. Could you give us the dimensions of your studio there? I'm wanting to build my own indoor practice facility and of all I have seen yours is the best. Any details you could give me would be much appreciated. Like all the different components in your setup. Keep up the great content!!!

[@reneforgues4467]

Would be fun if you do the head to head with the previous version. Last one was great and would be fun to compare it...

[@halfsumo12345]

This is the one club release this year that I am interested in.

[@torbeni4707]

Playd the old one, Best anti hook hybrid ever playd. Try it With the graphite design hybride shaft, so stabile💪🤗

[@EthanCowlbeck]

I love what the apex is going for. It’s going to take a huge difference though to unseat my XR Pro. Favorite club in the bag since I’ve had it.

[@Marcos-vanchescos]

That looks epic and a must for me when the season starts

[@stephenmalolepszy8231]

Wow. Beautiful hybrid. That's what I would love to have. Classic look. I hit a hybrid better than my long irons. And a gr8 head cover too!!! Cheers

[@richardsdiaz1]

Answer to your question: I love the Titleist Hybrids! I like both the H2 and H1 range. I've gamed both! Currently I'm gaming a 19* 818H1. They DO have adjustable lofts! i have mine set to 18*.

[@doug1lau1]

Agreed on the headcover James! Callaway headcovers are all very nice looking for the most, but the recent ones, especially woods, are too short! Disappointed in this year's graphics... someone felt too compelled to scream the name of the clubs all over the place! Really takes away from that nice shape and glossy finish.

[@alexdeel2339]

Callaway hybrids have always been sweet to hit. Course review would be nice. Would be interesting to see what it will do.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Another cracking honest club review 👏👏

[@fretless05]

Yeah... I'm still playing the Adams Super 9031 hybrids. I've not really found anything that suits my game better and as fas as aesthetics, they can't be beat. I might try the Calloway out, but good luck to it!

[@myopenmind527]

Nice, James thanks very much. Just wondering if you can do a video on how are you swing changes are coming along? Have you found the process difficult, really difficult or not so bad. Have you any plans to go back to Chris to have another to your swinging changes?

[@LivingOverPar]

That looks huge.... I have the 2006 Callaway Big Berth Heavenwood's in 1-3-5 and they are smaller then the new ones. I would like to see how the newer clubs hit though..

[@marksavage2474]

Loving the knuckle ball shot to order

[@MrSomeone544]

Check out Ben Hogan golf and there VKTR hybrids. Great looking and feeling clubs for a great price. Very similar look with the square face

[@JLP2X81]

Just bought 2 new mack daddy 4's , a new epic flash sub zero, new Apex pro 16 irons and 2 new Apex hybrids and a new custom Scotty Cameron .. lol its gonna be a good year #2020

[@mjsgolf7004]

James, you'd like a 2017 TM M1 hybrid then, it even has a sock cover too.

[@aspencer09]

I really like the last apex Hybrid, deff interesting this new one!

[@slange2scott]

Hi James , great review. what was the shaft like. were you stiff or x in you opinion would it be an upgrade from the epic thanks

[@danieldean4889]

I never liked hybrids. I don't like how they sit behind the ball, prefer my 2 iron. But that looks pretty smart if I'm being honest

[@marybetheby5184]

I love my Cally ft fusion!!2008 tech and not going anywhere!!

[@davidboddy4207]

This does look great! I carry 3 hybrids now and no 3 wood or 4 iron, a Callaway Big Bertha, a Mizuno CLK and a Nike covert 2.0, love them all but the Big Bertha is the easiest to hit.

[@billkendall9110]

More of a Ping Hybrid kinda guy. The Apex looks like it can go head to head with the TM Gapper hybrid version. Maybe a vlog? One thing i never understood with Callaway hybrids was why the toe is or looks so much taller than the middle of the face or the heel. Is it just the way it looks but it never suited my eye

[@richardsdiaz1]

Great video as always! I'm a Titleist Hybrid fan. This Callaway Apex reminds me a lot of the 818H2! I see alot of similarities there. You're actually thinking of taking the GAPR out of the bag? I was under the impression that you liked it and it's SOCK headcover? I'm going to have to take a look at this one some time. I've been fiddling with the top of my bag a lot this year. This could be a contender.

[@leonardnamiotka4931]

What loft is your GAPR LO? Was wondering what your lofts were from the 4 iron to the 3 wood since you haven't given us your "what's in my bag" video yet. Still waiting on that one. I would rather hit an iron over the hybrid.

[@gavinhumphreys6152]

Have you done a test with the M3 hybrid James?

[@aw7425]

Very promising potential for us duffers. 1 non test question if I may James. Approximately how far are you from the screen when you hit? Cheers.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

8-10ft mate

[@Bodie2012]

I tried hitting this club and just couldn’t get a decent strike, most were like your second shot. could be a combination of sore back, bad lighting, no warm up. Or overall just a poor swing lol. I want it but may have to try another day.

[@richardgray3]

Nice review, are you planning to do the irons as well?

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Filmed mate ready for editing

[@richardgray3]

Fantastic, looking forward to it and your first impressions.

[@dougierobertson2099]

I agree it looks beautiful, but now I’ve got to look back for your big Bertha hybrid test. I’m off 16 and I need all the forgiveness I can get.

[@davidburrell2778]

Must admit I have the rogue and I hate that it has the sock headcover. Much prefer the boxing glove style.

[@billbobeaney5126]

I really like the Calaway apex clubs try them loved them but the price just have to wait till next year,I play with the 15' 18' and Adams hybrid Thay still fantastic 🙉🙈🙊🐒👍😇😇

[@paulbown3960]

It’s on my list to try! I can never find the hybrid for me, love my 4 iron but need the versatility of a 3 hybrid. Can’t wait to see what makes it into your bag this year!

[@itsnateross]

I'm interested, good looking club.

[@JustSleepin61]

when are these available in retail outlets? I want to test these against my rogues

[@mrdudelove1]

i tried my hybrid last season and wasnt consistent with it...i like the shape and everything...but i think my dispertion is way better with my 4 iron ;)

[@mrdudelove1]

and i love 5 woods hehehehe

[@taistyveg]

Can't adjust the loft?? I'll stick with my M1 hybrid thanks. Looks almost the same from above and a real steal at the moment if anyone can find one left on the shelves.

[@justinpalmer2959]

Go for a 4 hybrid. I found the 3 hybrids start getting to 3-5w territory

[@SvingitGolf]

How is the Apex 19 cpmpared to the Apex 16?

[@ydargybwen]

I thought Taylor made bought out Adam's. Was it Callaway?

[@billybastar4022]

But, but, but...I thought you loved and gamed the Titleist hybrid?

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Not for a long time bill?

[@billybastar4022]

Well then I sit corrected. Thank you for the response. I am still gaming my Titleist hybrid. I tried them all, and it was the clear standout. Your recommendation was the impetus to check it out in the first place.

Screams Adams/Titleist

[@darrell3118]

I still play my 7 year old Adams V3 hybrids ( 3h, 4h, 5h ) , the best I have ever played and I have hit several others through the years and I have NOT found another hybrid to take them out of my bag , These V3 hybrids Still will stop a ball on the green fast from 190 out ( my 3h for me ) , and they will still spin a ball back with them too on certain greens !! I hate Taylor Made and will NEVER buy one of their products because they bought out Adams and spit the company out just for Adams slot technology as Adams made THE BEST HYBRIDS out there !!!!!!

[@philipoftorquay]

It seems that what was an old shape is now new....

[@justinstephenson9360]

Sorry but I really dislike the shape of the face, very squared off at the toe - each to their own. I will stick to my Cobra F8 hybrid. But what really disappoints me is just how much further you hit that hybrid than I can. 225 yard is a 5W, I can only get 205 yards from my 19 degree hybrid
