ZR1 Hybrid Set

Pinemeadow Golf’s ZR1 irons are designed to offer the playability of Ping’s G10s at a fraction of the price. With the weight distribution through the new cavity design, it’s got a huge sweet spot that will help improve inconsistent iron play. Even better: this set comes with matching hybrids to replace the 3 and 4 irons that you can’t hit anyway.

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.

ZR1 Driver

PineMeadow says that its ZR1 is designed to offer the same technology and performance as the Ping G10 at a fraction of the price. At 460cc, this titanium driver is at the maximum legal limit. The oversized head creates a massive sweet spot and incredible forgiveness on off-center shots. It’s availabel in 10 and 12 degree models, with a variety of shafts. You can get it for as little as $99.

I’ve bought several products from Pinemeadow over the years and found all of them to be well built and offering good, if not great performance. I especially like the hybrid I got last year. I especially like the company’s 30 day playability guarantee.

Command BK Irons

I love black finish irons, and wish that more companies offered the finish as an option. Black, to me, has a certain inherent look of seriousness of purpose.

Pine Meadow’s Command BK Irons are designed as an ultra-forgiving club suitable for golfers of all skill levels. The company compares them in performace to the TaylorMade R7 line.

With a deep cavity and fine top line, the weight is moved to the perimeter to maximize the moment of intertia (resistance to twisting) and forgiveness. With a large “sweet spot,” off center shots will fly longer and stay more on-line.

The black finish on these clubs, PineMeadow says, will in time wear on the bottom into an oil-can finish like the wedges so many like.

The best part of these clubs, though, is the price. You can get a 3-PW set for as low as $179.

The PineMeadow ZR1 Hybrids offer many of the features of the Ping G5 hybrids at a fraction of the price. With its long profile and wide sole, the ZR1 offers the accuracy of an iron and the playability of a wood. It’s designed—like all hybrids—to offer a higher and longer shot.

The only problem that I’ve found with hybrids is that they often can created a distance gap in clubs. My experience is that I hit my 4 iron replacement hybrid longer than I ever did the iron. It takes a bit of adjustment.

If you don’t already have one in your bag, the ZR1 offers a good chance to try a hybrid for yourself—especially since they start at just $39.

With the Bloc, Pinemeadow Golf gets into the square headed driver sweepstakes. As with others of this design, the intent is to move the weight as far from the center as possible. Weight moved to the back edge of the club improves the launch angle, while weight moved to the outside increases the moment of intertia, thus improving distance on off center hits. The titanium clubhead comes in at a massive 455 ccs.

As with all PineMeadow products, this one comes with a 30 day playability guarantee, so there’s virtually no risk to you to try it.

Pinemeadow’s Tour 780 Draw builds on the success of its 780 Tour design. To help cure the dreaded slice, Pinemeadow has moved the clubhead’s center of gravity toward the heel. The added weight helps to cure the most common cause of the slice: an open clubface.

Further customization of the club is possible through an optional weight system.
