Hybrid golf clubs are a relatively new addition to the technologically expanding sport of golf. Hybrid golf clubs are advanced clubs, and are crosses between a fairway woods, such as a five wood, and irons.
Hybrid golf clubs have a unique design as they are built for both distance and accuracy. The clubs have shorter shafts than most clubs, but have much stiffer heads than a typical iron. The face of the club is shaped more like an iron than a fairway wood, which helps keep control. The design of the club head is beneficial because the center of gravity of the head is further back than an iron’s center of gravity which helps increase power generated by the shot. At the same time, the club is designed to get a 20 degree loft, which is much greater than a driver.
Hybrid clubs are gaining popularity at both the country clubs and on the professional tours. Since these clubs are gaining such popularity, all major club designers, including Ping, are developing hybrid golf clubs. Ping hybrid golf clubs come in five different models which support different types of players and can be used in many different situations.
The most popular Ping hybrid golf club is the G15, which is regarded as Ping’s most powerful and forgiving hybrid ever. The G15 comes with a stainless steel shaft and a shallow face. The club is designed for many situations, including hitting out of the rough, fairway, and sand traps. The face of the club leads to a high trajectory and prevents excess spinning.
The most popular of the Ping hybrid golf clubs with women is the Rhapsody. The Rhapsody hybrid club comes in three different loft options, which can simulate a 5 iron, 6 iron, or 7 iron or a 7 wood. The Rhapsody can be used in a variety of locations including rough terrains or bunkers. The Rhapsody guarantees a high trajectory and an extreme amount of forgiveness in the event and bad shot is made.
