Why we like it

For all its complexity (carbon-composite crown, titanium construction, a mineshaft’s worth of tungsten and an artificial intelligence-designed face), the Super Hybrid poses a simpler question: what if a hybrid was designed to replace not an iron but a fairway wood? The result is this super-charged hybrid with a driver-like titanium face. The large frame offers off-centre-hit forgiveness, and the 91 grams of tungsten in the sole fuel an easier launch. The shorter shafts also go a long way towards making you question the need for fairway woods at all.
