Sand Blaster Wedge

If you have a lot of trouble getting out of the sand, you should perhaps consider a “trick” club like this Sand Blaster from Hireko Golf. Hireko says that the Dual Sole on this unique design acts like skis in the water, gliding across the sand or rough. The hollow 2 piece construction allows the sole width to be increased dramatically to make it ultra forgiving in either soft or firm sand, and even chipping and pitching around the green. It also features a negative offset or face-forward feature which will help those who may have a tendency to pick or sweep the ball and makes this club virtually shank-proof.

I have a lob wedge of virtually the same design, and can tell you that it works like a charm.

Power Play Select 5000 Maraging Utility Iron

The Power Play Select 5000 Utility Club is designed to replace the hard-to-hit 2 through 5 irons. Unlike fairway woods and many hybrids, it has a compact head that allows you to use it from more lies. Hireo says that its exclusive “Ball Bearing Insert” helps distribute weight and dampen shock for a crisp, pure feel. The face includes a maraging insert, creating one of the hardest and hottest surfaces available.

The best part is that you can get this club for as little as $40.

Caiman Fairway Wood

The Caiman Fairway woods are another of those geometrically odd clubs that are designed to offer a high moment of inertia and high launch. Hireko engineered these fairway woods with a variable crown thickness (as little as 0.5mm which is as little as the thickness of 5 sheets of paper!) All the unwanted weight normally reserved for the crown of ordinary fairway wood was repositioned deep within the head. Hireko says that this offers a high launching ball flight with incredible accuracy

Powerplay System Q2 Irons

Hireko Golf’s Power Play System Q2 Irons are designed to offer increased forgiveness for mid to high handicappers, while still offering the workability favored by better players. Among the features:

Reduced Offset at Address
Designed to attack the greens from any position on the course, very minimal offset was selected in the wedges and scoring irons for alignment preferred by a majority of avid golfers but the offset is progressively increased where it is needed most in the lower lofted irons for increased accuracy.

Rear Mass Stabilizing Bar
An extremely deep undercut cavity forms a barrier between the face and Rear Mass Stabilizing Bar (RMSB) to optimize the perimeter weighting and increased MOI for superior forgiveness. The added structural stiffness created by the thick RMSB enhances the power and feel at impact.

Wider, Thicker Sole
The wider, thicker contoured sole was not only created to concentrate weight low for a higher trajectory and more solid feel at impact, but designed to improve performance from a variety of different lies one might encounter out on the course.

You can get a full set for as little as $181. Hireko also allows you to customize shafts, grips, club length, loft and lie.

PowerPlay System Q Hybrid

Radical geometry makes its way from the driver to the hybrid. And why not. The same principles apply. By redistributing the weight to the sides and the rear of the clubhead, the square shape offers increased moment of inertia, creating better shots when contact is off center. This club is cast from 17-4 stainless steel and has a special glide rsole to reduce turf drag and fat shots.
