GolfSpy Barbajo Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (6) Testers Wanted!!! Ben Hogan VKTR Hybrids Hybrids are funny clubs. For some, hybrids are true long iron replacements: easier to hit and designed for a specific distance. For others, hybrids are really just min-fairway woods intended for maximum distance. The Ben Hogan Company says its new VKTR's, while no slouch in the distance department, really are long iron replacements because, after all, #precisionisback! Testers Wanted: Even though the name sounds like a Cold War-era Soviet tank, Hogan says its VKTR is designed with the better player in mind: a tour-inspired head shape that gets progressively smaller as the lofts get higher, 4 moveable weights to create the shot shape you want and a very Hogan-like 11 different lofts to dial in the distance you need. How do these new Hogan hybrids stack up against the big boys? We're looking for 6 of you to try out (and keep) a set of two VKTR's and tell us what you think.How To Apply: MyGolfSpy needs 6 avid golfers to test and review the VKTR hybrids. As you know, we take our equipment testing very seriously here at MGS, so please read the following instructions very carefully. In this thread, tell us the following: 1. Your name, home state and current handicap 2. What 2 lofts would you like to test (If you need help, visit Hogan's Online Performance Center) Easy as can be! We'll be announcing the testers in this space next week. Good luck! 2 What's in the bag: Driver: TSi3 FW Wood: PXG Gen4 2-wood Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24* Irons:; PXG 0211; Pro Combo; FTX Combo;'99 Apex Plus; '99 Apex blades; 2010 VIP irons; VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTZ ZipCore: Riviera 52-56-60 Putter: Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; Buckingham; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B X; Z-STAR XV; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaksy68 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Very interested in these. Had a look at the Hogan website recently, and I like the sound of their approach to club design. Currently don't appear to be available in Australia, so I would love an opportunity to review them.
