Jeff, what is the onset measurement. Old catalogs say 17mm and 12mm depending on year.
Thanks.

The 17mm was actually a mis-print from the start. The head has 19mm of face progression, but the onset (negative offset) was actually 12mm. I hope that clears it up better.

Jeff,

I have the prophet hybrid, but I cannot hit it consistantly [3-4 out of 10 won't due]. I need to try a different hybrid and get to 7-8 out of 10 good shots. I went to a demo days over the weekend and hit every hybrid they had. I ended up hitting the Cleveland Launcher and the Nike sumo square heads the best. Which of your heads will have similar characteristics to these?

Thanks,
Mark

Both of those heads have the semi-offset hosel feature so I might look at the Acer XK, XP905, System Q and the Q2 if you wanted the square looking profile.

Do you have other one that is not with a square looking profile? Or do they just come in with just the square profile?

The only square (actual rectangle) shaped hybrids we offer are the System Q2 and the Mantara.

Thanks Jeff,

The two heads I hit had Cleveland Fujikura and Nike Diamana shafts in R flex. Is there anything special about these shafts? Weight, tip stiffness, bend point, etc? Which of your shafts might compare?

Also, what are the blade lengths for the hybrids you recommended? I found xp905 @ 78mm but could not find others.

Great article on start in golf business. My how things change.

The Fuji shaft may be the same or one very similar to the E160 we sell. Very lightweight and a high launching shaft. The Nike is also supposed to have a high launching shaft, although I could not find an exact weight on it.

We no longer measure blade length on hybrids, but treat those more like fairways in terms of the specs we keep. But typically of the ones I listed, they would be awfully close to one another in terms of the heel-to-toe dimension.
