Bobby Jones Hybrid Gold Club Review

When I think of Bobby Jones, I think of class, consistency and drive. The Bobby Jones brand has been limited in the past few years. You used to be able to see his name on older Callaway Golf products, or very high end golf apparel. But it has been over 15 years since the name has been on a golf club.

Jesse Ortiz, long know as the mastermind behind the famous Orlimar Tri Metal woods was asked to design the best playing, best hybrid on the market and build it bearing the Bobby Jones name. What he came out with is The Bobby Jones Hybrid.

The Bobby Jones Hybrids are a little larger than most hybrids on the market today. Their clean, classic look is a big hit with better players, and the higher profile with a low center of gravity is hit with golfers of all levels.

I was able to hit this club late in the Fall of 2007 and am excited to hear of a driver and fairway woods that will be out soon as well. I wish these club companies would release their clubs later in the year so I can get out and hit them without being cold!

The club itself sets up beautifully. I wanted to say at first that the head appeared to be a little larger and the face a little deep for my tastes, but once I got to putting a few swings on the ball, my mind was suddenly changed! The ball took off beautifully on a nice high flight even with the deeper face. This is by far not the longest hybrid on the market, but it can defiantly be moved any way you want the ball to go. From high to low, left, or right I was amazed at how easy it was to shape the ball with this club and how softly it landed on the green no matter where I was hitting it from. The deeper face really helped out of the shallow rough and prevented me from getting under the ball and hitting a pop up.

For the price of this hybrid, which is around $200, I would give it a try. It performs just as well as anything out on the market and is by far the best looking hybrid out there! I will be back with more Bobby Jones reviews as I get a chance to get my hands on their new drivers and fairway woods.
