I'm not a big hybrid fan, but I would be lying if this didn't have my attention!

Its almost like a HY and a FW had a baby and the UW was born

@GolfSpy_APH I think this thing would surprise you if it's anything like the one already out. My 19° is incredible, goes a long way and is easy to shape. Just purchased a 17° to act as a 4 wood and replace my 3 wood. Never hit anything like these before!

Love my OG 21° although might shaft down the line. It’s my get out of jail club. This new version looks just as good with the new sole design.

I am not sure if geezer swing speed will work for these and Im somewhere between 80-90, havent seen it on sim in a while

I have the last UW in 21 degrees. It is ugly as sin, but I give it a pass as it is unbelievably good in terms of forgiveness and workability. 

I'm not really a hybrid guy, so getting this was a good comprimise as I didn't want a high flying 7w, but needed something easier than a long iron for that 210yd mark. It really fits in that gap perfectly. 

100% worth going and giving it a go, it will surprise you!

Haha I've never gave its aesthetic really any thought tbh. Its just so plain and unassuming being just black with no alignment aids. But I have had my OG UW 21* in the bag ever since its release and it does what it does flawlessly. 

 

Surprisingly I have stuck with the stock hzrdus rdx 6.5 shaft on it after trying several others. But for me it fits that 235y gap i have seemlessly and just hits that window for me that a 5 wood or standard hybrid doesnt.

 

This updated release is just a rehash of the original which I get cause its a great club and why fix what is not broken but for people who have the OG there is really no reason to upgrade to the new version.

I tried one at Roger Dunn recently.  I was surprised how good it felt despite being marketed for better players.  For those that have the 21 degree, how does it compare to a typical length/size 7 wood?

[Shankster]

If they’d make this in a 12° and 15° they would likely find their way into my bag alongside the Rogue driver.  I’ll be able to play some golf in ‘24 and I cannot wait.

Has anyone bagged the 17 and 19 degree together? Just wondering if there was any noticable yardage gap between the two.

I grabbed the OG from the Callaway PreOwned site for like $155 last weekend, in like new condition. If it performs near like I hear it does, that's going to be a steal!

Played with the new UW for the first time- 3 rounds in Florida. Wow! I have the 21* and came back to order the 17* off the CPO- returning the TD Paradym 3 wood I got from them (taking a 20% hit, but still better than selling it on EBay with their fees) I hit the 3 wood terribly while the UW did everything I asked it to and then some. I mishit one awful off the toe and it still went 195. I averaged 218 yards with it- nice high draws. I got so confident with it that I aimed at a lake on the right side of a par 5 that dog legged around the water and it landed right where I wanted it on the edge of the water in the fairway. From what I’ve read the 17* has the distance of a 3 wood. Considering I averaged 220 with the Paradym TD 3, I’m confident the UW will be more than an able replacement. (I’m sure the 17 will get me more than 2 yards on average over the 21).
