TECH TALK Two hybrids (with the option to purchase as many as two more) come standard in a set that features the company’s familiar iron technologies, including a variable-thickness face for extra yards on off-centre strikes. There’s also a 360-degree undercut channel to increase perimeter weighting for additional forgiveness.
PLAYER COMMENTS
M “I like the look: It’s minimum gaudy and maximum nice. Plus, the hybrid is powerful. I really knocked it a long way.”
H “These could seriously change someone’s game. They’re easy to hit, and they pack a lot of power. Anyone could get around the course with these.”
HOT Though this set isn’t a substitute for lessons, it comes pretty close. The sole is 15 per cent wider than the Big Bertha ’08 model and moves through the turf easily.
NOT All of the hybrids are longer in length than the corresponding iron (1.25 inches in the case of the 3-hybrid). We’d prefer to see the lengths more iron-like.
