Callaway · Apex Utility Wood · Tour model
$299.99
A tour-favorite utility wood — the club Callaway's best players reach for. Its compact, fairway-wood-inspired shape sits between a fairway wood and a hybrid, for high launch, a neutral flight and versatile control off the tee, from the fairway into par-5s, or out of the rough.

Batwing Technology
An A.I.-designed internal structure pushed to the perimeter stiffens the body so the high-strength C300 face cup can flex more efficiently for faster ball speeds.
A.I. C300 Face Cup
A high-strength C300 maraging-steel face cup, A.I.-designed to produce fast ball speed and tight dispersion across the hitting area.
Cutwave Pro Sole
A streamlined sole engineered to cut through the turf more efficiently — cleaner contact and versatile shot-making off the tee, the fairway, or from the rough.
Tour-Inspired Shape
A compact, workable head with a length set between a fairway wood and a hybrid, plus minimal offset and a neutral flight — Tour-tuned for control and playability.

Golf Shaft Fitting Guidelines
Shaft Flex · Driver Head Speed
LADIES Under 75 mphLIGHT 75–85 mphREGULAR 85–95 mphSTIFF 95–105 mphX-STIFF 105+ mph
Match your driver clubhead speed to the recommended shaft flex. ▸ Xander plays Tour X (TX) — a tour-level X-stiff for 105+ mph swing speeds. A proper fitting confirms flex, weight and launch.
Length & Lie Fitting Chart
Measure the player’s wrist-to-floor distance and note their height, then find the intersection in the chart for the recommended 7-iron starting length (relative to standard). Final length & lie is confirmed by player comfort and ball flight.
Static starting point only. Length & lie originate from iron fitting; a driver is typically fit separately by swing speed and control.
Shaft Tuning — Flex, Tempo & Weight
Dial in flex using both driver swing speed and backswing tempo (smooth vs. fast) — a faster tempo generally moves a player toward a stiffer flex at the same speed. The chart also maps recommended shaft weight ranges for graphite driver, graphite iron and steel iron shafts.
Weights are recommended ranges in grams. Use alongside the shaft-flex and length & lie guides above; confirm all specs in a proper fitting.
Swingweight & Alterations Guide
How each component change shifts swingweight — length, lie angle, head weight, grip weight, tape wraps, shaft weight and shaft balance point. Callaway’s assembly goal is to hold standard swingweight for custom builds within ±0.5″ of standard length (tolerance ±1 swingweight point).
Reference only — swingweights can’t be guaranteed due to head-weight limitations and multiple component variables; confirm in assembly.
