I was glad to see them expand the offerings and look forward to people being able to test them out.
I never really had confidence in hitting my hybrids so this would be a must try. I like the technology behind their weighting system for the club as well as offering the club in different lofts instead of just replacing long irons with hybrids which is the way it's currently done.

Wow, from the face view it gives it such a stubby toe look. It doesn't seem so stubby looking from the top view. It's a pretty nice looking club and the adjustability factor is cool feature. I'm looking forward to see what the feedback is on this.
I was able to hit two of the prototype versions of the VKTRs in Dallas. Super small sample size but this was a nice stick. I especially liked it with the iRod shaft. (And I am kind of picky about hybrids - I still game my 7 (??) year old Callaways).

I have both the iRod and Aldila here and agree on the iRod.

Wow really liking the looks of this. The toe design could take some getting used to as far as looks but dang she looks slick from the at address view.
You touched on an important point, at address the toe is a non issue. In fact, my recollection is the head looked compact at address. But it's been about a month so maybe I am mis-remembering. And again, for perspective, part of the reason I haven't changed hybrids is I'm not a fan of that Adams-ish square toe look, but it was oddly a non issue here.
It definitely does look compact. I wonder about forgiveness with these. Are they aimed at a specific player profile? Looking forward to THP feedback on these.

That is really boxy I think I'll pass.
those look, um, different. not chomping at the bit to try these. if they were in front of me I would give them a hit, but based on those pics that design does not resonate with me.

As someone who hits high toe on hybrids a lot, this design interests me. I wonder if it would help me on mis-hits. At the very least it would be harder for me to scratch the paint on it like I do on the toe of shorter faced rounded/oval hybrids.
I just have an issue with the limited shaft options. Any word on if/when more choices will be available than the few listed on the website?

I would imagine it's like the irons, and I believe Terry mentioned it at Hogan, you can get any shaft you want, they may have to order it and there be an upcharge, but they can get it.
Damn solid shaft offerings on the site though.

I like the looks of these. Looks as though they would be more iron replacement as opposed to small fairway woods, which I personally like in hybrids.
That's correct. They said they wanted spin and loft to hold greens and integrate perfectly (with lofts at 1* increments) with iron sets.
