Why We Like It
We get that making a hybrid with a trampoline face is desirable, but all that ball speed without the ability to launch the ball isn’t much use. The ideal hybrid needs its internal weight to be low to boost that launch angle. Darkspeed uses an ingenious internal bridge-like weight bar low and close to the face to make it easier to launch shots high. At the same time, this structure allows the thin face to wrap around the leading edge for maximum ball speed.
Characteristics
- The internal bridge-like weight bar facilitates higher launch with less spin.
- A thin, high-strength steel face insert wraps under the leading edge to create a flexible region lower on the face where most impacts occur.
- The Single Length version (7-iron length) features an even lower CG and higher stability through its heavier head.
- 17, 19, 21, 24, 28 degrees (with a fixed hosel)

Just a powerhouse. Low launch, low spin but enough height. Undeniable when you hit it.
Paul, 62, Handicap: 42 / 3
The perfect matte black, it's quiet and dangerous looking. The ball won't know what hit it. More bass than baritone.
Wei, 54, Handicap: 133 / 3
Kind of the Darth Vader of hybrids. Felt like a lightsaber cutting through the wind and forcing the ball out to its destination.
Ryan, 48, Handicap: 10How To Use Your Hybrid Effectively
Most amateurs don’t swing fast enough to make their long irons go farther than their middle irons, so hybrids are essential for longer shots into greens. Plus, the hybrid’s design adds forgiveness and playability. Here, Cameron McCormick demonstrates how to use these clubs effectively.
