I notice that some of the clubs have scuffs - do the companies sometimes send you used clubs, or had you just happened to have already hit those (or using your own, perhaps?)

99% of the time the clubs are brand new. The Nickents had not arrived yet for the photo shoot, so I substituted my 5DX in for the pictures. We received all 3 lines from Nickent after the photos were taken. You will see those in the rest of the pictures coming soon.
Acushnet products (Titleist and cobra) that are in this shoot out came to us previously used. However they are in almost perfect condition.
I got rid of my long irons and switched to hybrids for my 3, 4, and 5 iron. For the 3 and 4 irons I switched to the Wilson Staffs. GG and I went and hit about every hybrid made at the time (early last year) and these came out the best for me.
When I tested the 5DX hybrids out for a review we did here about 4 months ago (maybe longer) I loved them. I traded in a hybrid at Edwin Watts and got the 5 to add to it.
what callaway didn't want to participate?
Hey JB,
I was wondering if you guys inquired about the hybrids that are included in the Nike Slingshot HL iron set. That's the set that I currently play and it comes with a 3, 4 and 5 hybrid. Very good hybrids IMO.
We asked each company to include current products only and other than that they could include what they wanted. As for your hybrids (they are pretty good), they are not in their production run as of now.
Do you agree with other people when they say that the 4h could replace the 3i because of the fact that you can hit it farther with a hybrid? or do you believe that the 4 should replace the 4 and the 3 should replace the 3 and so on?
Here are my distances.
3I: 195
4I: 185
3H: 210
4H: 195
Note I am a relatively low ball hitter, and that is probably a factor. But I agree with some who say that a 4H replaces a 3I. That is why I carry both a 4H and 4I. But the hybrid is so much easier to hit, I am seriously considering removing the 4I and replacing it with a gap wedge. If I need to hit a shot 185, I can just choke up on the 4H. Or maybe do what JB did and replace the 4I with a 5H.

Your personal opinion how do you like your 5DX? and that replaces the 5 iron right? Still a little confused on the hole hybrid phenomenon.....:confused2:
It is up on the front page now as well as the Hybrid Shoot Out hit the national golf wire yesterday. WooHoo.
