How much should I consider dropping my adored X2H 5 hybrid for the Apex?
That depends on the player. I loved the X2Hot, but this one is easier for me to flight and still plenty of forgiveness in the 5.

How much should I consider dropping my adored X2H 5 hybrid for the Apex?
I am nearly confident that I'll be leaving an Apex 4 hybrid in the bag for the majority of the season in replacement of my 4 iron.
The 2 hybrid isn't totally sold on design because they are so minimal, but I also plan to try switching to the heavenwood in that location so it's not a big deal. It's more (to me) about the benefit of the 4 vs 4.. I assume I'll hit it at 23 a bit further than I'd hit a typical 4 iron (at 22.5 degrees) but that's not a huge problem. At 210 yards I am not terribly concerned about being dead accurate.
What I love about this, is how much it plays like an iron. Can add or remove loft or work the ball with ease, and the sound isn't anything that I'd relate to a wood which is important. Along with that, the profile is so minimal that I tend to swing it more like an iron (down a bit more) and I like that a lot as well.
This is the closest I've ever been to dumping my 4 iron and I'm really looking forward to seeing how that works out.
What shaft are you playing Dan?
I haven't played a hybrid in years. No idea which way I should be looking. I love the Project X LZ HC in my driver and my Alidla Tour Green in my 3Deep.
That exact club was lethal for me today on 2 par 3s.
At the Par-5 13th on Thursday, Lefty used it from 251 yards out and put it inside of 3-feet to set up an eagle. And during the morning coverage, he could be heard saying “I love this hybrid” to his caddie, Jim Mackay.
This excites me and really makes me want to go give these a whirl.First round in the bag yesterday with this one and it's not leaving the bag. I thought the X2Hot Pro Hydrid was the best, but this one beats that one hands down.
I had a few shots into the wind yesterday and the distance was there and is forgiving. I also love the head shape at address. Not too big and not to compact.
