CALLAWAY APEX HYBRID

[@gretchman]

Always happy to hear someone rail against the "for better/higher/mid-handicapper" guff. Top five irons of 2019 for Mid handicappers? ugh. I'm currently a pretty awful golfer, but I play Titleist MBs because they make me happy when I look down at them and inspire me to practice more. Can an impulsive and inconsistent striker play blades? Yep! They'll have fun and still be an impulsive and inconsistent striker!

[@bengreen1262]

gretchman Interesting about MB s - the question has been answered that power bats do not work for any one less than 75mph ish .So standard lift MBs work as the sweet spot is focused on.

[@duffymoon5912]

That discussion was quite fascinating as to personal preferences etc. Cheers blokes.

[@keithfinley2939]

New testing format has been a pleasure to watch

[@joeperez3520]

I've never warmed to the "wood" looking hybrids, so I might be shopping for my first Callaway club in almost 20 years. It... looks... NICE!!!

[@humbleorgins4125]

Now joe you joked about crossfield being your favorite you tuber....whats liam think about this

[@johnathonkimmel3561]

Mark I am only 3:40 into this and I absolutely love this video. I also raise my hand to ask questions even if it is only myself and one other person in the room. #stepasideyourubishplayers

[@tommacx]

I know this is a golf vid. But as a paid up member of the army, please Google pythagoras' theorem A^2 + B^2=C^2 Dan root(12^2 +.0.2^2) = 12.01 Coach root(9.0^2 +4.1^2) = 9.88 Coach wins!!!!

[@MarkCrossfield]

👍👍👍

[@tigerman1978]

I was about to say they may be "better golfer" - except from Mark of course as he dont like the curves - but they're no good at geometry :p

[@garyglad]

This has been annoying me for a while - well spotted, Tom. Also: Pythagoras won the Greek Open in 540 BC with a record score of 290 (rounds of 8^2, 9^2, 9^2, and 8^2). He also proved that it is better to leave the flagstick in the hole for putts 2559 years before Bryson DeChambeau.

[@JimboSRP]

Using the Manhattan distance measure is actually a valid approach here since distance and offline are important. But I agree, closest to the pin needs Euclidean distance.

[@Struieboy]

It’s all Greek to me!

[@ahmadhanifah617]

Been waiting for this review...thanks guys...

[@keithfinley2939]

Me too! Love the 2016

[@Larcenycrook]

Coach's reaction to Mark going "I've got a question" is everyone hahahaha

[@matthewcroad7218]

What a stunning looking club.Gonna have to find me somewhere I can get hold of one to have a play.Great banter guys

[@svenhallauer3229]

Thanks Mark! Finally somebody said what I've always felt - the "better player" marketing slang is B.S. I'm totally with you, love my TM M4 hybrids.

[@caseymccormack2000]

Awesome video.. I don't know which one I would like the look of.. I've always liked long irons but I'm learning to appreciate hybrids.. Will definitely keep this in mind as I move forward in my fittings this spring. I would love to see Rory join the Hybrid Army.. A little bulge and roll.. Maybe a more iron like hybrid would be more user friendly for him.

[@averynichols8035]

Very good golf talk guys.

[@ronniefromOR]

My 23 degree is one of my favorite and most versatile clubs

[@whogg0521]

With the fun you guys have, I bet people would pay money just to hear you all in person film a video. Also, I couldn't make out your better play suggestion, btw..lol. GET UP, DAN!!

[@jonathanthomason7896]

Great review. My hybrid has transformed my 185-200 yards out game.

[@steveforman8560]

The Army will be on them!!!! Sales will rocket after draw’s a win!!! 👍🏌️⛳️😂

[@Spudroe]

Love my 21 degree hybrid...it's a Nike and has a Project X 6.0 graphite shaft. I've recently played 9 holes with it and used it from the tee to the green on par 5 and 4s and longer par 3. It's such a versatile club. I'm seriously considering the Cobra one length hybrid version. I've heard tons of positive things about it...being that I'm only 5'7", the shorter club should fit me well. I did try the single length irons but the demo set had Regular flex shafts (I had only recently switched from XS to S on my irons) and I had trouble controlling dispersion both ways...a recipe for disaster as you well know. I'll have to go back and re-watch the video that you did on the Cobra single length hybrid...I remember that you and Dan both gave it a thumbs up.

[@otto-xl2xz]

For a moment, Dan was so in love with the club, I thought he had lost all sense and was about to do something lewd.

[@SolomonLi]

LOL... Coach has turned into a marketing machine!!! Great stuff. I love seeing all these shots hit. I'd love to be able to hit 200yds like it was a 75 yd pitch!!! Game changing!!!

[@jbartyparty7398]

Hey Mark! Think you're on holiday and this is auto-posting, but on the off-chance you see it, THANK YOU for all of the great content! I hardly watch much TV anymore cuz I can just go to your channel and watch your reviews, discussion of pertinent golf topics, or "muppet golf" that I enjoy because it reminds me of all the banter I enjoy with my main golf blokes. Anyway, to my other main point, do you plan on reviewing Hogan's Ft. Worth "Black" irons? I think you did their original Ft. Worth 15's when they came out, but I highly encourage you to get your hands on a a few of the Black series as they are INCREDIBLE!! I've been a Hogan guy since 2004 and just reluctantly retired my FTX Apexes, and I'm so happy I did! My only regret is not buying these new Hogan irons when they first came out! They feel so good and they are much more forgiving than their previous generations. Hogan 2.0 is for real braaahh!! :-)

[@JPB90]

Rogue hybrids had jailbreak guys.

[@MarkPipkin1287]

Well said Dan! Absolutely all to do with personal preference for looks. I play of 13 but have an Apex hybrid (last model); simply because I don’t like the look of the bigger hybrids. I can hit my Apex as well as any other hybrid and feel I can work it better, however it wouldn’t stop me swapping if I found something worked better for the numbers I want

[@Slymax95]

I stayed away from the Apex hybrid (previous model) after repeatedly hearing it was a "better player" club and I am a 17 cap. I recently bought one and am really liking it because it doesn't continually go left for me.

[@MarkCrossfield]

That’s so cool to hear 👍👍

[@garydavis8213]

Love the “on set”. Every hybrid I’ve ever hit it a hook.

[@Simplycoburn]

Ignore companies “better player” marketing bs. If you like a club and hit it well then use it!

[@robertpoche1585]

The old apex hybrid really is a better players club. Higher handicappers will still hit some beautiful shots, but the pull/draw dispersion will be be noticeable on a high percentage of shots.

[@Lucksac98to47]

I love that shape. Will buy it aswell 👌

[@2009Stefon]

They are lovely... lockey is going to be the best golfer on vlogs now 😂😂

[@Ewq6]

Love the rapport boys , very enjoyable.

[@odaat1985]

Good fun, best trio on youtube even if you all aren't " better players". Always liked Callaway hybrids and carry an 18 degree 2 right now but can adjust up or down. Cheers

[@paulsmith675]

I think ping as hit the nail on the head with putting a flat option on their G410 range this year. I tend to draw the ball and dropping the lie angle as put my hybrid flight from draw to straight/fade

[@asw16177]

3 mates (who know their shizzle) giving a thorough decent club review. Nice one.

[@pkorf5248]

i personally love the look of this hybrid. Then again i play a pro combo set from Cobra so i appreciate a smaller club profile in general.

[@keithkatz1350]

Haven't seen the coach this happy since he was lying in a hotel bed with a bag of chips😂the lad is absolutely giddy. Hope he gets the same Tour AD shafts got to look pimped and all. Great vid was lovely to see you "better playas" go at it. Can't wait for coaches new WITB. cheers from NorCal boys

[@harrymckeown7845]

The singing at the start is beautiful

[@wallstreetoneil]

I think the debate and contrasting points made in this video are spot on - do you want a club that breaks the trend to fade with longer clubs or do want a continuation? This Apex, and the last Apex hybrid model, are fade biased for sure - I've hit both - although clearly 'better' players Coach and Matt have no problems drawing them without thinking too much about it. After thinking a lot about this actual subject watching Mark for 2 years in these videos as the topic coming up a few times, I personally decided for me, at this moment of recreational golf, that the Drawing Hybrid approach is 'easier' and more flexible. Thus I bought 2 adjustable hybrids - the Callaway Epic 2 Hybrid (that I would argue is exactly Apex Fade biassed and the head looks identical) but has the adjustable loft sleeve with an Upright Draw setting (how I set it up) and it is fantastic. My short Hybrid was the old Taylormade M1 which I set up in the Adjustable Upright Shaft setting - and again it produces the slightest of Draws for me - it was stolen so I replaced it with the Taylormade GapR High 4, set it at 22.5 degrees and use the upright shaft setting + cut 3/4 of an inch. This club is slightly more Draw biassed than my old M1 hybrid so I'm still figuring it out - but I love the flexibility because fading anything is easy to do. Great video.

[@brianbaker5694]

reminds me of some of the Adams hybrids before TM bought them

[@garydavis8213]

Get back on the course, boys! Need my course vlogs!

[@chriskirby70]

I do like the look of that club....perhaps a cheeky test kight be in order

[@jasonprice9823]

I’m a Callaway fan but not on the hybrids. Saying that, I do like the look of this one because it’s a bit more squat. And after seeing this I realize the high toe bothers me on a longer, thinker hybrid. Im eager to give this a try.

[@drywater_]

Really like the more compact head shape

[@martinhadleigh5890]

That was great review ....I’m sure you’ll love playing those Callaway hybrids Matt. 👍🏌🏻‍♂️🏌🏻‍♂️🏌🏻‍♂️

[@tonyleigh5517]

I love the high toe - it makes me feel I'll hit straighter somehow!

[@devlifedotnet]

Mark, can you do some videos on Offset, what it does, and what would suit different types of golfers?... everything to do with offset seems to be about liking the look of it, but i've no idea if it serves any purpose.

[@alexdcoker]

Agreed.

[@royals7888]

Imo, these and the titleist h2 are the best looking hybrids on the market. I would game either one. I just love the apex lineup for 2019!!!

[@keithmancinelli3170]

My very first hybrid I ever owned was a Callaway Diablo 3h back around 2008. It had these dumb 'impact rails' on the bottom, but it was absolutely gorgeous looking down on it from address. That apex looks like a brick on a shaft.

[@GodandBrooksFallsbears]

Titleist ( which I have) or ping, maybe cobra are the only hybrids I like the look of. I’ve not decided yet if going with a power hybrid or 5 wood probably depends on the price

[@streamleazefishhouse]

Loki (name switch intentional) has moved to hybrids from long irons. Can you do a course test comparing them with the three of you? Maybe include 5 wood, 2 iron/driving iron and hybrid?

[@talltimball]

Looks like they've hired an ex-Adams designer.

[@Kit-and-Stoma-Bob]

That’s no bad thing!

[@thecman26]

Not my Titleist hybrid, it has it's own room in my house! It is loved for sure!

[@atwillenjoyment9107]

Mark, you are going to make the best grandpa some day. Just sitting there in your cap chatting all day about whatever has you going at the moment. Imparting wisdom in all forms to whoever wanders within range. Can we be friends?

[@mikeoneil350]

When shortening the hybrid by a 1/2” does that work the same as irons in that you need to adjust the lie of the Callaway hybrid one degree up?

[@toddsincock3621]

Hybrids dont make those sounds of neglect at the Ping factory, they’re the best imo. G30 all time best of their models. Which is your overall fave hybrid brand Mark?

[@andrewp3713]

Is it hard to draw because of onset? Oppose to slightly ofset?

[@alexdcoker]

For higher handicap players, do we even need fairway woods? My irons end at 5i 25 degree, then I have a 23 & 18 degree hybrids. I bag a 15 degree 3 wood, but rarely ever pull it from the bag.

[@alexdcoker]

Should have said, my 2H 18 degree is 210-215 yds. My driver is 240 yds at best, still working on that!

[@danapatelzick594]

Does this have have a face with a radius on the height and on the width? Mine (Maltby golf) has the double curvature and it is like a wedge, hit easy it goes straight for the target. It stays straight until I really strike the ball hard, then there is a fade at the end and I miss. Even then it feels really good. I am not sure it will draw. No duck hooks or slices. The players type have the non symmetric shape. Not at all sure it makes a difference.

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

No I think the 7 and 9 woods are the ones crying. lol

[@maximpieters6499]

Why didn't they include the changeable neck ?

[@troymiles469]

Mark,don't you like the Callaway Twistface Hybrids? :-)

[@jackotoole1559]

I reckon you used an XR hybrid a few years back Mark? #toomanyclubproblems

The thought of crying hybrids will keep me up at night now

[@324jbutler]

Mark you are wrong you have play a Callaway hybrid. It was 19 degree power hybrid Steelhead and you used it at least in Switzerland playing against Nicolas Colsarts.

Only 2 minutes into the video so far and I feel like I need to rush out and adopt a hybrid from the nearest shelter.

I LOVE the look as its the way my Adams V3 hydrids look , Adams made the BEST hybrids ever till TM bought the company and shit all over a great conpany just because they wanted the SLOT technology for themselves .
