Power Play System Q2 Fairway Woods

Hireko Golf’s PowerPlay System Q2 Fairway Wood is a terrific looking club designed along the same lines as their very popular Power Play System Q2 Driver. With its square shape and low profile, the System Q2 Fairway manages to raise the moment of intertia over other fairway woods. It is, however, no larger in size, appealing to more traditional sensibilities.

The last think I want is that volkswagen on a stick look in a fairway wood.

The only thing that would make this series better is the addition of a nine-wood, which for my money is a unjustly forgotten club that would offer an additional option to many senior and slower swinging golfers.

Constructed from stainless steel (not an alloy like many lower-priced clubs), the System Q2 Fairway is very well priced, starting at $41.95 with an Aldila graphite shaft. And like all Hireko clubs, it comes with a 60-day playability guarantee. 

Ibella Tiara Putter

Hireko Golf has released the iBella Tiara, a putter which is as pretty to look at as it is pleasant to play.

With its soft, flowing edges and hourglass center support, it’s designed—as most recent clubs—for optimal perimeter weighting. It’s center shafted for ease of alignment (the GolfBlogger prefers center shafted clubs) and has a diamond-milled periwinkle face insert for a perfectly flat striking surface..

But what really makes it stand out is that it’s surrounded by authentic Swarovski crystals in the outer ring. The GolfBlogger will confess that he had to do a little research to find out what, exactly a Swarovski crystal was.

Here’s the scoop: Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut lead crystal glass products produced by companies owned by Swarovski AG of Feldmeilen, near Zürich, Switzerland. The company has been around since 1895.

Mrs. Golfblogger, of course, knew the name right away.

For all that, this putter is priced right, starting at just $36.

Hireko PowerPlay System Q2 Driver

Hireko Golf’s System Q2 Driver combines a square shape with movable weight ports. In search of a high moment of intertia design, Hireko has constructed a large 460cc head with additional weight in the rear corners and with extra weight strategically positioned with a set of movable screws. The lightweight beta titanium face allows even more weight to be redistributed.

As shipped, the stock club is equipped with a 3g screw in the toe and a 10g screw in the heel ports. Additional screws (4, 6, 8 and 12g) are available to provide 36 different weight combinations from 193g up to 211g.

As with all Hireko Clubs, the System Q2 comes with a 60 day no-questions-asked satisfaction guarantee.

Dynacraft Prophet Forged Wedges

Even if the rest of your set consists of cast cavity backs, you may benefit from the unmatched feel of a good forged wedge. Dynacraft’s Prophet wedges are handcrafted from 1020 Carbon Steel for outstanding feel. A slightly-heavier-than-usual head helps the club to move through thick grass as easily as sand. Four way cambered soles allow a player to use the club from a variety of lies.

The best part is that it won’t cost a lot to try a forged wedge. Hireko golf makes these forged wedges available for around $29. And they come with a playability guarantee.

Bionik 105 Red Insert Putter

If my basement were bigger, I’d collect putters. The variety of sizes, shapes and colors are simply amazing. Take the Bionik 105 Red insert, for example. With its dark zinc body and red, the Bionik 105 is quite striking. The shape also is neat—its a bit of a cross between a blade and a mallet.
