CALLAWAY Super Hybrid So you don’t hit your fairway woods as consistently long as you hoped. Problem solved: Callaway’s Super Hybrid can help, packing a fairway wood’s power in a smaller, easier-to-hit clubhead. Plus the shaft is slightly shorter than a wood’s, so it’s easier to control. The club sports a high-strength titanium face insert that promotes fast, all-out ball speed along with optimized spin and flight—a combination that yields long distance. Behind that face is the brand’s renowned Jailbreak technology that gained its prominence in the Epic driver. An adjustable hosel lets you tune your launch and preferred ball flight. $320, callawaygolf.com TOUR EDGE Exotics 220 Drivers Ready to start bombing your tee shots? Tour Edge’s Exotics 220 will get the job done. It has an elongated shape and adjustable 9-gram back weight—resulting in the highest MOI ever produced in a Tour Edge driver. This means it’s stable and forgiving. The clubhead also features a shallow clubface; carbon fiber in the sole, heel and toe; lower-density and lighter titanium, and a deep CG. The hot face—which features 42 different thick and thin mini-trampolines on its underside—aims to generate fast ball speed with reduced spin, especially on off-center hits. $350, touredge.com MIZUNO T20 Wedges Some fresh wedges that maximize spin may help you improve quickly. Mizuno’s T20 undergoes the company’s proprietary Grain Flow HD process that increases grain density in the impact area. That gives you soft, solid and consistent feel. The clubhead is made of strong Boron. “Quad Cut” grooves in the stronger lofts are milled narrow and deep; in the higher lofts they’re wide and shallow—that’s all to optimize both the ball flight and spin control. Plus milled lines on the face boost surface roughness, to further increase backspin by the green. It’s available in seven lofts, six different bounce angles and three clubhead finishes. $150, mizunousa.com vsga.org J A N UA RY / F E B R UA RY 2 0 2 0 | V I R G I N I A G O L F E R 39
