Best Hybrid Golf Clubs
Are you beginning to think about that new golf club to add to your bag? Have you given any thought as to what to get that avid golf fan in your family? Well now would be a god time to pick up one of these beauties. We have uncovered some of the top “Hybrid” clubs on the market. The latest hybrids include the Nike SasQuatch Sumo, the TaylorMade Burner Rescue and the Tour Edge Exotics. These clubs, known as hybrids, are a relatively recent addition to the golf club world, and their popularity has grown because they are much easier to hit for recreational golfers. In fact, they are easier to hit for all golfers, and most touring pros now carry hybrids. The combination of a wood and iron in the design of these clubs makes them easier to get the ball airborne and reduces the negative effects of a mishit. A hybrid golf club has proven, in a very short time on the market, to reduce bad hits and lower your score. We have listed the top hybrids available on the market today.
High tech in a traditional looking package. The tour edge features a “brazed” tatanium cup face and crown to the steel body resulting in a clever way to add weight low and the promise of much improved energy transfer. The clubface has a very effective hitting area. The design of the clubhead limits any turf interaction, reducing the amount of “digs” you may have with your shots. Suggested Retail Price…$219.
The square head on this club combines with Nike’s “PowerBow” rear weighting technology to deliver an ultra-forgiving and stable club. Shots launch and fly higher than they do with the first Sumo came out with. The lightweight Cryo steel face adds additional pop to the ball. The trailing edge of the clubhead with its single rail allows you to dig balls out of nasty lies. Suggested Retail Price…$149
A lightweight dual crown lowers the club’s center of gravity, resulting in higher launching and lower spinning shots. The standard version is designed to hit draws, or shots to fly to the left. The tour version is designed with neutral weighting and produces lower flights, like the trajectory of an iron. The Burner has a light overall weight to promote faster swing speeds. Suggested retail Price…$159
(4) Nicklaus Claw
By moving mass to the hosel, beyond the head itself, the Nicklaus Claw has distributed the weight to provide added forgiveness. The iron-like topline makes it easy to square the club at address. Two rails on the sole plus a center runner reduce turf contact and stabilize the head. a 50-gram stainless steel plug along the sole contributes to higher ball flights. Suggested Retail Price…$99
Designed for lower handicappers, the Maraging steel face and overall weight placement combine for a hotter ball flight. This Pro tour design comes with a Mitsubishi Javln FX (higher trajectory) or Matrix OZIK (lower trajectory) shafts. This club is not for the high handicapper. Suggested Retail Price…$219
