Callaway Golf has today unveiled its all-new Utility Wood.

The Apex UW is designed for the better player and features a distinct clubhead shaping inspired by in-depth feedback from Tour pros.

The club contains an A.I.-designed Batwing structure pushed to the perimeter to stiffen the body, allowing the high-strength C300 maraging steel face cup to flex in design for fast ball speeds.

The Apex UW is designed for versatile shot-making with an all-new Cutwave Pro Sole containing a streamlined design, engineered specifically in a bid to cut through the turf more efficiently.

In addition, the center of gravity is precisely positioned in a neutral location in design for an exceptional combination of high launch, steeper landing angles, consistent spin characteristics and reduced draw bias.

The Apex UW hits retail on August 9th (pre-sale August 8th) and is priced at $299.99.

When you love the look of a plumbers neck, or crank neck, hosel from address but you really need less toe hang, there is really only one option. Go up! TaylorMade did exactly that for Keith Mitchell with a prototype Spider X Hydro Blast. The Spider X Hydro Blast has been a very popular putter since it was released in 2021 with a focus on helping players aim better while still offering the stability Spider putters are known for.

Keith’s Spider X was modified a good amount by the folks at TaylorMade, and it starts with the long plumbers neck hosel. Long necks aren’t anything new in the putter world, but TaylorMade never offered a plumbers neck in the Spider X Hydro Blast series. So, the tour department probably cut off the existing neck and welded on the much taller one. I am not sure if this neck makes the putter truly face-balanced, but it will greatly reduce the toe hang compared to the slant neck version of the same putter head.

The top of the putter is Hydro Blast silver with a bright white True Path alignment line running through the middle. On the retail putters, there was a thin black site line that ran from face to back as well, but it looks like Keith has chosen to delete that for a cleaner look. The face looks to have the same Pure Roll insert that offers 45-degree grooves for immediate forward roll and a soft feel. The bottom of the putter shows off the multi-material construction with a steel body and carbon composite insert that gives the Spider X its stability and forgiveness.

In our forums, our members have been discussing Vokey wedges. WRXer ‘JPH’ is a mid-handicapper and kicks off the thread saying:

“Am I the only one who is very inconsistent with Vokey Wedges? I have three that are wonderful during practice but challenging during a round. I’m going to go back to my iron set gap and maybe return to the Cleveland cbx style soon. But honestly, have I bitten off more than I can chew? Thanks.”

And our members have been having been weighing in with their thoughts on the matter in our forum.
