The purpose is to reduce weight there while retaining strength and resiliency-the crown of a hollow club flexes upward at impact, and controlling that dynamic is part of the fine-tuning a club like this receives when it’s designed. It’s made of carbon fiber coated with vaporized aluminum. What stands out about the club is an eye-catching silver trapezoid along with the back one-third of the crown.
#IDRIVE HYBRID GOLF CLUBS REVIEW PLUS#
Last season’s debut of the 0317 X GEN4 Hybrid added to that chorus of praise, including high marks for the shape and relatively large proportions of the clubhead and for ball flight that’s powerful and pleasingly high, plus a pure sound at impact. These folks will often say PXG hybrids are the brand’s finest achievement in online forums and grill-room chatter. The golfer who plays PXG has paid the top price in the market for clubs.
You may well be delighted with the results. When shopping for hybrids, follow the expert advice and test a few out on greenside shots. The oddity of the hybrid market involves the strategic play that pros like Nairn crow about, which is chipping with a hybrid from off the green-clubmakers never seem to mention this. Having come to view hybrids as mainstays of their business, Club manufacturers have poured significant resources into their design and engineering-the clubs shown here certainly testify to that. “Luckily, the launch monitor came along at about the same time, giving us real data that showed how much better hybrids performed.”
“Better players have a lot of influence, and out of pride, they wanted to hang on to their 2-irons and 3-irons, so acceptance was slow initially,” says the Scottish-born Nairn. Kenny Nairn, a renowned club-fitter who is also a golf coach to tour pros and top amateurs, recalls the skepticism that greeted the first hybrids. But this indeed was the point: Hybrids were all about ending the misery of poor results with long irons, those heavy, tiny-headed clubs marked with a ‘3,’ a ‘2,’ or the dreaded ‘1.’ When hybrids emerged a generation ago, adding them naturally meant yanking something else.
Golf adopted a rule in 1938 forbidding players from carrying more than 14 clubs.
