We tested: 19° in UST iRod HB-80
graphite shaft

Company line: "The first hybrid to
incorporate proven rail technology
for effortless playability from any lie.
It delivers optimal high launch and
low spin for consistent ball flight. A
neutral face angle promotes a square
clubface at address."

Our Test Panel says: Lower flight and
compact head is a low-handicapper's
dream; slightly deeper face allows
punch shots; feeling of power and
stability at impact; average carry but
rolls forever; superb feel on chips — heavy, dense and substantial; bad
swings are punished.

Love the ability to work this club. It's limited only by your imagination.—Mark Haberstroh, 5 Handicap
