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.

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
