Anyone tested this club? Curious to hear what people think. Callaway was at our club yesterday (8-30-2023) and I had a chance to check this club out. I was impressed. It looks a bit like a cross between a traditional hybrid head design and a fairway wood. What I liked? Versatility: I took the 18* for a test on the course. It can be reduced to 17* or increased to 20*. So, depending on what I am trying to optimize for a course or trip it gives me some versatility. What I am thinking about? I carried it about 210 yards in the air. It falls between a Titleist 7W and my Rogue 5W for distance. I put the 7W in my bag in place of a 4H because I picked up about 7* decent angle with about the same carry distance. This Super Hybrid rolled out a lot more than the 7W. I think it has a fit for course trips where the fairways are hard and fast and the wind is a factor. At $399, it has to be something that will really add to my game in order to find a way into my bag.

New Titleist T200 irons. Went to a regular shaft and dropped down 25 grams of shaft weight. verdict is out. Like them and fitting went well but not hitting them as consistently as my old AP3’s.

Added the new Titleist TS2 7w. Replaced my four hybrid with it. Increased my decent angle by 7*! And have more yardage flexibility with it.

I am curious as to how long you can expect top performance from an iron shaft combination if you play 150+ rounds a year and hit 50 to 100 balls a night in a simulator set up.
