INTRODUCING AN ENTIRELY NEW BREED OF GOLF CLUB – THE HYBRID-IRONS.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re sure you have questions. What is a hybrid-iron? What makes hybrid-irons so much more forgiving? And learn about the type of player who may benefit by adding hybrid-irons to their bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS A HYBRID-IRON?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s quickly cover what a hybrid is and how it\u2019s different to an iron<\/a>! Sometimes known as a \u201crescue club\u201d \u2013 this club category was originally designed to bridge a gap between long irons and fairway woods. With a larger clubhead than a traditional iron, and typically paired with a graphite shaft, hybrids help players of all skill levels<\/a> to launch the ball higher and offer greater forgiveness from a variety of lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more golfers are introduced to the game, we at PXG wanted to find a way to welcome beginners while also helping players who need a little extra help with the game they\u2019ve loved for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PXG\u2019s first hollow, unfilled hybrid-irons incorporate the best characteristics of traditional hybrids to produce our easiest to hit,<\/a> <\/a>highest flying irons ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND OUR 0211Z HYBRID-IRONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

0211 Z Hybrid-Irons extend from 6-iron through S-wedge. The unique construction allows for an extremely deep CG (center of gravity) which promotes improved forgiveness on mishits and effortlessly high launch and trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our hybrid-irons present a large clubhead profile with a wide body to promote confidence at address. Who doesn\u2019t love a little extra confidence as they stand over the ball?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significant offset is designed to assist easy launch, even with slower swing speeds, while it also promotes a draw bias which helps to keep the ball on target \u2013 particularly for those prone to slicing the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The face profile is more similar to an iron than a hybrid in order to offer a more traditional look at address. Players will notice a groove that runs across the topline, around the toe, and across the sole. This integrated design creates a more defined topline and sole shape. Behind the grooves, you\u2019ll see a matt black finish, designed to draw the player\u2019s eye to the chrome front portion for a more comfortable visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wide sole provides more forgiveness on turf interaction, particularly for those players who tend to hit it \u201cfat\u201d or take too much turf before the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO SHOULD PLAY A HYBRID-IRON?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid-irons are a good choice for newbies, occasional golfers, those coming back to the game, and players who want to extend their enjoyment of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
