Callaway Apex hybrid Look Feel ClubTest 2017

Tough to beat: compact, clean, and with a rich gunmetal finish; when placed behind the ball, the small, squat head looks ready to rip it; squared-off toe reminds some testers of older Adams hybrids.

The best in the test; marvelous, well-honed feedback conveys tons of power off the face; responsive and steady for a small hybrid; narrow frame scythes through the thick stuff.

Laser-guided on good swings, with a fair amount of leeway for bad ones; misses scoot out to a reasonable range; ample spin off the deck-no problem holding the green.
