We tested: 3-PW in Graphite Design YS+ graphite shaft
Company line: " We integrated hybrid iWoods, hybrid mid-irons and Tri Tech short irons. The 3 iWood and 4 iWood are our most forgiving hybrids. Steel short irons have titanium face for increased ball speed and more distance, plus tungsten weight for low CG."
Our Test Panel says: The 3- and 4-hybrids are extremely forgiving from rough; iron face is hot — large sweet spot preserves distance on off-center hits; the 5- and 6-hybrids are not on par with rest of set; looks like three mini-sets; stable heads produce minimal feedback.
Misses are not an issue from rough. These are so easy to hit. — Bud Adler
