I may or may not have ordered one today
ESH Is a high launching, long as all hell, low spin monster. Apex UW is more of a surgeons tool that YES launches high but gives you the spin and versatility u need for versatility. Im LOVING this thingWhat is the difference between the UW and Super Hybrid? Both seem to fit golfers that prefer hybrids over fairway woods.
Players 5 or 7 wood is a good way to look at it however, the UW doesnt have the hot spots that a fairway wood would have. It lives in a nice launch window up and down the face.But if you have a 7 wood this would be a good step down instead of a hybrid and definitely better than an iron. It is a good looking club though. I guess maybe a player's 7 wood?
I'll have more thoughts later, but like I said in the Live Round thread, I was pretty much living this thing in challenging conditions today. Can't deny I was impressed.
Hard ponder right now one of these at 17° with the new Smoke RDX red in the 4 wood spot. Can’t see that not happening at some point.
Assuming the ability to play either profile, it appears that one would choose a Syper Hybrid, if the goal is flat out distance and the UW, if the goal is more to hit a specific distance target. Am I assuming correctly?
I could see it in the higher loft I guess. The lengths and launch and face are all a little different though, and I'm more wanting it to be an in between FW and hybrid with lots of control at fairly big distance. Unless I go to 4W and 19 UW maybe. Really liked what I saw from the 17* today.I love seeing 7 wood converts. I know this is not exactly that, but it kinda is at the same time. It is such a fun club.

There's already some comparing it to the super hybrid, so here's my UW next to my Epic Speed 5W. Won't be able to play again today, or tomorrow, but looking forward to smashing it this week.
I agree, for those who have a lot of club speed, this could be a weapon. I suppose that is why Mickelson took to it. For those like me, who need distance, I am not sure if this is the correct profile. Spin robs me of distance that I need. It is the same logic as to why a player distance iron works well for many. The high launch and low spin gets them some extra distance. It is a very intriguing club, but the more I think about it, I am the wrong player for it.I think part of what appeals to me is the idea that this launches high and spins which would be more beneficial for holding a green.
Oh my.
I must find one to test.
I was pumped for the SH, but I need spin, and control. This seems like the ticket, even if it's not a rocket launcher.
So are you saying that your 5w spins more than this UW?View attachment 9034368
This kind of says it all for me. Left is my 5W into the wind about a week ago. Right is same tee today, into an even stronger wind. Watching that 5W climb on that shot was the first time I went ohhh, with it. Watching the UW hit the same intended peak, on a more boring trajectory was the first time I started saying okay I like this. I was able to with it high and low and both directions, add and take off spin, and really hit the shots I wanted on a windy day. My low loft hybrids would have been more bullet-like, and my 5W would have climbed there again. I'll do a lot more comparison, but the flight and spin window looked real useful for me today out there.

I'll check it later this week, but I believe it might be. The launch and spin combination at least, is definitely a higher spinnier looking flight, that I can't do all the things I did with this even on the front 9 today. It's more bell. Less flat at the top. But this seemed to have enough spin to control, and also get up.So are you saying that your 5w spins more than this UW?
For me, the OG Super Hybrid was more of a second shot into a par 5 club and a tee club on short par 4’s. I figure that on a par 5 a second shot on or near the green is a winner. It wasn’t something that I really sought to stop on a green. I have a new Super Hybrid and thus far haven’t hit it well, but I haven’t really had a chance to work with it.Are you finding the super hybrid easy enough to stop? My concern is Utah conditions where even landing short it will roll over and off the back of the green.
