$129, steel; $149, graphite
nikegolf.com

We tested: 1 (15°), 2 (18°) and 3 (21°) in hDiamana by Mitsubishi graphite shaft. Shaft length (3-hybrid): 40.75", graphite

Company line: "The variable Cryo steel face is a lightweight material that maximizes distance and forgiveness across the face. 'Powerbow' weighting manages head mass to further optimize precision and performance."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Provides consistently long distance from all but the deepest lies; testers like the boring trajectory; fairway wood-like length with iron-like accuracy; consistent carry distances; dampens bad vibes from mis-hits; two thumbs up in terms of its 'classic' head shape; can 'work' Sumo when needed; can easily sense clubhead location during swing.

CONS: Mid-handicappers are less comfortable— and complimentary— of Sumo than better players; clubhead can get caught up in the thick stuff if you sweep it; inconsistent results from the rough.
