Hot Hybrids
New Tech for Golfers
TaylorMade Qi10 Rescue
unique design maximizes the swing speed across the clubface at impact . The Qi10 Rescue is offered in # 3 , # 4 , # 5 , # 6 and # 7 . They retail at $ 299.99 and have been a big hit for our golfers .
Titleist Hybrids
Titleist Golf offers its new TSR line of hybrids , and its TSR2 model stood out during our fittings . The TSR2 hybrid gives golfers a higher launch , longer distance , and fantastic forgiveness , accomplished mainly by a longer blade length to move the center slightly further away from the shaft and a deeper , more forgiving CG ( Center of Gravity ). These benefits result in more forgiveness and distance . The TSR2 hybrids retail at $ 299 .
Tour Edge Hybrids
Tour Edge Golf has been a leader in our fittings . Tour Edge offers two lines of excellent hybrid clubs : the Hot Launch line and the Exotics line . Tour Edge hybrids are some of our bestselling hybrids –– they are in the musttry category !
Tour Edge says , “ The new Hot Launch C524 Hybrid provides an extremely high Moment of Inertia ( MOI ) that tightens dispersion and increases overall accuracy in a compact design . This hybrid is for the player seeking optimal launch and spin rates in a minimal offset design , while still enjoying the benefits of extreme playability .”
Get In THE Game
The new Hot Launch C524 features a “ Ridgeback Technology ” rail on the crown of the clubhead that provides increased structural properties to help produce more power across the entire face , including the extreme perimeters . Ridgeback is also utilized as a distinctive alignment aid at address . Additionally , a back weight called “ MOI- Boosting Rear Sole Weight ” is strategically placed to the extreme rear of the clubhead to place more mass at the extreme trailing edge of the clubhead . This weight creates an extremely high MOI rating for top in-line stability and dramatically affects a lower , deeper CG positioning of the club for ease of launch and more forgiveness off the face at impact .
The Hot Launch C524 employs Tour Edge ’ s “ Diamond Face VFT technology ,” which features 34 different thick and thin diamond shapes or “ mini trampolines ” behind the face . This produces a hotter face with faster ball speeds and better performance on offcenter hits , as well as reduced spin — meaning straighter shots !
The versatile C524 hybrid will play from the tee , fairway , rough , and around the green . Available in right-handed lofts : # 3 / 19-degree , # 4 / 22-degree , # 5 / 25-degree , and # 6 / 28-degree . Hot Launch C524 Hybrid ( men ’ s and women ’ s ) MSRP $ 149.99 .
We suggest that you visit your golf pro at the golf course to investigate these hybrid clubs . Your golf course professional has the expertise to assist you in looking at the benefits of adding a hybrid to your set . Most importantly , have your golf course professional go to the outdoor range to hit and compare these hybrids to the clubs you currently have in your set .
As always , we urge you to “ try them before you buy them .” Plan a visit to your local golf course pro shop to test drive these offerings outside on the range . Only by seeing the ball flight outside and hitting the hybrids from different lies can you properly determine which club will be your new sharpshooter !
