The 20° hybrid Callaway Apex line is designed as a compact, high-performance hybrid meant to replace long irons (often the 3-hybrid or 4-hybrid spot). It blends the forgiving traits of a hybrid with the more controlled look, feel, and shot shape of a better player’s long iron.

The “80 g Stiff” hybrid shaft from Mitsubishi Chemical is a premium-graphite shaft designed for hybrids (or utility clubs) that bridges the performance gap between irons and woods. It’s built to offer mid to mid-high launch with decent spin, combining stability, feel, and control. This shaft is generally intended for better-to good players who swing hard enough to need something stiffer than Regular flex but still want a shaft that helps with consistency rather than just outright stiffness.
