Pinemeadow Excel Strong Hybrids

Pinemeadow designed the Excel Strong hybrid to offer many of the features of the Callaway X series hybrids at a fraction of the cost. The stainless steel head comes in 18, 21, 24 and 27 degree lofts, so you can replace all of your longer irons with easier to play hybrids. And you can afford to do it, too, because the prices start at just $49.

GX920 Composite Crown Hybrid

GigaGolf’s new GX 920 Hybrids offer a composite crown that reduces weight on the top, allowing the designer to move weight to the sole for higher ball flight and longer carry. The clubs have a 17-4 stainless steel face and body and are offered in 2, 3, 4 and 5 iron equivalents.

Best of all, you can get one custom built for as little as $26.

Like all GigaGolf products, this one comes with a 30 day playability guarantee.

Revelation Hybrid Set

I think that the progressive hybrid-iron set is the future of the golf club set. Since so many of us are already buying hybrids to replace the long irons that came with our sets, it makes sense to offer hybrids instead of the three, four and maybe even five irons.

It makes even more sense to design a set with hybrids from the ground up. That way, there is a seamless progression of clubs and distances throughout all of the set.

That’s what GigaGolf has with its hybrid iron Revelation Golf set. Made from 17-4 Stainless steel, and coming with a variety of shafts, it has three head styles. The longest irons are more of a traditional small headed fairway or hybrid style; the mid irons are hollow body, and the short irons a standard size and shape.

Power Max GX920 Hybrid

GigaGolf’s Power Max GX920 Hybrid is a part of its line designed for both playability and distance. The hot face design increases ball velocity, while the hybrid head makes it easier to play than the equivalent long irons.

Use GigaGolf’s online fitting system to get the perfect club—for as little as $28.50. That’s a real bargain, and I don’t know how they do it. As a small-time clubmaker, I can’t buy the parts for that price—let alone account for my labor. I’ve bought several GigaGolf clubs and sets, and the quality is first rate. But if for some reason you order one you don’t like, you’re protected by GigaGolf’s 30 day playability guarantee.

G.R.I.P. Hyper Steel Hybrid

Golf Research In Play (GRIP, get it?) is an up-and-coming golf manufacturer that offers a small, but intriguing line of products. Their hybrids are indicative of the thought that seems to go into their products.

GRIP has constructed the hybrids from hypersteel because their research showed that—while different steels don’t make much of a difference in performance—players seemed to prefer the sound and feel of hypersteel. The clubs also feature a movable weight system, with brass and aluminum screws to help you shape your shots. Finally, the shafts are designed specifically for the hypersteel hybrids, with a mid to low kick point to help get the ball into the air.

This is a line of golf products I’d really like to try.
