IndyBonzo Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Popping in here to briefly sing the praises of this club. Mine is new to me, and I bought it on something of a whim after watching several YouTube reviews. Having only played 27 holes with it and trying it on the range a few times, I nonetheless have to say I am very impressed. I hit it three times yesterday during my practice round, and it found the green each time from 210 +/-. (Playing a 4 hybrid at 19* thanks to a lefty adapter install.) The first time I thought I had mishit it - nope, on the green. The second was a straight shot pin high. The third I was pleasantly surprised at its workability because a bad tee shot meant I had to draw it high around a tree and it curved nicely and found the right side of the green. The ball flight is a thing of beauty, with a gradual ascent and steep, green-holding descent. It seems perfect for my low/mid-handicapper game. I offer this in case it may help others. Also, I'm curious if more spies are experiencing the same. tony@CIC, CudaKota66 and GolfSpy SAM 3 Quote Working at getting better ... and very slowly getting there.

GolfSpy SAM Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I hit the Paradym (not X, but would like to) 3-wood in a fitting, and had a similar experience - just an absolute point-and-shoot monster with an awesome flight. Debating finding a Rogue ST 3/5/7 combo over at Callaway Pre Owned, since I'm guessing they'd be a very similar type of experience. Glad to hear the hybrid's working out for you!

IndyBonzo Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 @GolfSpy_SAM thanks. I did the same with my 3 and 5 woods, picking up some used Rogue ST Max on eBay. I have hit them even less than the Paradym X hybrid, but with the minimal feedback I have (9 holes and one range session) I can tell you that I think they must be similar to your fitting experience. Very easy to launch, similar ball flight to the Paradym X hybrid, and super straight thus far. I'm pretty pumped about these new additions. More to come. Wish I could play more. (My darn job - it funds my CHA habit, but keeps me off the course too.) GolfSpy SAM and tony@CIC 2 Quote Working at getting better ... and very slowly getting there.

I think it's definitely the sleeper between the two but I have seen more players flip into that then Paradym which in my opinion plays a little close to Apex UW if set up correctly. The X has a distinct higher launch aspect to it. IndyBonzo 1 Quote Gear junky degenerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN_Hacker Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I'm with you on the X hybrids. I have a 4&5 in my bag, and really like how easy they are to hit. I have them both lofted down 1*, and I'm not getting huge hybrid hooks.
