Loved the old Apex hybrid. So easy to hit, and loved the look of it. Hybrid is something I don't carry yet, but if they've found a way to improve the old apex, this one is definitely high on my list.

I’m so used-to the XHot Pro I have, and I’m not sure I could hit a bigger hybrid. I bet these perform, though.

I've been a big fan of the Apex hybrid since it came out. I used to have the X2 Hot 3 hybrid but was overdrawing it as my swing speed increased. Bought the OG Apex and loved it ever since. The only time it wasn't in my bag was when I got picked to test the i200s, I was given a 3 iron (I assumed the set would be 4-PW) so I used that for a while instead of the Apex. However, I later went back to the Apex and haven't looked back. Probably one of my most reliable clubs in the bag at the moment. 

I really like the look of the new hybrid but there are 3 things that worry me a bit:

  1. The glossy black finish - I really like the grey finish on mine (I'm not sure what kind of finish the original had - Matte?)
  2. The feel of the new one might be a firm, similar to the Rogue. I really like the softer feel of the original Apex.
  3.  The bottom of the new club looks a bit busy with the addition of the Jailbreak bars and extra lettering - I know that this isn't really an issue like the other 2 points as you won't see the bottom of the club at address but it'll still be on my mind.

I'll be definitely trying out the new hybrid, but it has to be pretty good to knock my current hybrid out of the bag.

These things are long and feel great.  I played the X2Hot Pro for years and side by side this 20* 19 Apex was longer than the 18* X2Hot Pro.  I didn't really care for the stock shaft and at $270 this is not that much better than the Epic of the X2Hot Pro.

I have the old Apex Pro Hybrids and like them, but think I want to try the new Titleist ones or these.  How do they perform on off center hits with jailbreak?
