TCUFrog 445 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 For my fellow VKTR+ Hybrid testers, what are you looking for out of the club in terms of ball flight? I know a lot of hybrids are great for getting the ball in the air, but they often balloon for me so i'll be looking for a more controlled launch out of the VKTR+. 2 Quote M6, 9.0, Tensei CK Orange 60, Stiff M6, Rocket 13.0, Atmos Red 60, Stiff RocketBallz, 4H 22.0 JPX 900 Tour, 4-PW, True Temper Dynamic gold S300 Mack Daddy 4, 52.0, 56.0, 60.0 - S grind Spider Mini Tour-RX Smart Sensors Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking for nearly as high as possible, and not going left. In general I'd like to hit every club higher (and I'm getting there), but hybrids in general have never worked well for me. I asked for the hybrid here in that hope that all golfers have. Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also looking for a nice high ball flight. Even when I hit my long irons and current hybrid well, they tend to not be very high and roll out a lot which makes hit hard to hold greens and judge distance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scooterhd2 504 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Looks like there are some varied expectations out of the VKTR+ hybrid. Which I am sure is normal for any club, but especially a hybrid, and especially at that low of a loft. I'm looking forward to seeing some comparison pictures of the hybrid. It looks somewhat compact, and has a very Adamsy/Apex look to it. I quite like the high toe. Very iron like. But probably doesnt have the lowest, deepest center of gravity. Especially with 18* of loft, I',m not expecting a high ball flight out of this. Been wrong before, but it looks like it would have a very penetrating flight, but with controllable spin. I'd hope for similar distances time and time again. So maybe not a max distance hybrid where you get that high launch low spin bomb when you catch it right, but a solid club hitting certain distances into greens on par 5s, off the tee on short or tight par 4s. And maybe that occasional long par 3 where you need distance and stopping power. 3 Quote 2020 TESTER Ben Hogan UiHi 18* Utility Iron Driver: G410 Plus 9*, Oban Gold Hybrids: Super XTD 17* Hybrid Fubuki AX, , Apex 20* AD-DI 85S, Apex 23* Oban Purple Irons: Z585 5-6, Z785 7-PW, Modus 120s Wedges: RTX4 50, Modus 120x, , Hi Toe 56 & 60, Modus 120x Putter: ER3 @ 33" Link to post Share on other sites

I hit my 3 hybrid now mid/high ball flight with a reg flex shaft .. the one I am testing is a stiff flex so I will prob hit mid flight .. I usually dont have any problem with getting the ball flight mid to high but I also been playing my current hybrid for 8-9 years so I will be interested to see if there are any changes from the two hybrids head to head. 2 Quote G400 SFT 10.

I'd like a higher ball flight with some consistency. Not in the ways of forgiveness, but more along the lines of consistency on different lies. Tee box, rough, fairway, etc. I launch my Sub 70 on the low side off the fairway, but off the tee, or the rough its really a coin flip for me on the launch. 2 Quote 2020 Hogan VKTR+ 18* Tester Driver- Mavrik 9* Fuji Motore X F1 ( Epic Max LS, TM Sim2 Max, RadSpeed, G425 Max inbound!) 3W- Mavrik Aldila Rogue White 6S (See above...) 5W- Mavrik Aldila Rogue White 6S (See above...)
