Shaft manufacturer Penley Sports is introducing its new Hybrid Heater Shaft in two different models, both of which will be available in early 2005. The Hybrid Heater Shaft is available in weight options of 80- and 100-gram ranges. It also comes in taper tip and parallel, the company said, to allow golfers to put the shaft in long irons as well as hybrid clubs. The 80-gram Hybrid Heater is for players with slightly slower swing speeds and allows them to get the ball in the air easier and maximize distance and control, officials said. The 100-gram Hybrid Heater is for players with faster swing speeds that want to take full advantage of their hybrid club or long irons. The company said this shaft consistently adds more control and feel to both hybrid clubs and long irons that are characteristics not normally associated with a conventional long iron. The 80-gram Hybrid Heater Shaft is available in A, R and S flexes, and ranges in torque from 4.1 in the A flex to 3.9 in the R and S flexes. The 100-gram Hybrid Heater is available in R, S, X and XX flexes with a torque of 2.1. The Hybrid Heater Shaft has a suggested retail price of $43 for the 80-gram model and $47 for the 100-gram model. Copyright (c)2004 PGA.com. All rights reserved.
