Wilson Staff FYbrids fuse fairway woods and hybrids into a single easy-to-understand family of fairway utilities. The result is simpler club selection and easier-to-hit options that meet all your long-distance needs. The FYbrid line includes these 3-wood and 5-wood replacements, with 15- and 18-degree lofts respectively, along with a FY club with a 19.5-degree loft and a series of iron replacement hybrids with 21-, 24-, and 27-degree lofts. Each club includes a unique sole design with heel, toe, and central reliefs, which combine to create a rail system that prevents the club from bouncing into the ball at impact--the leading cause of thin shots. The toe and heel reliefs also make the club more playable from side hill lies, and encourage the golfer to lay the club open or closed for more advanced shot making. Finally, the FYbrids' UST V2 graphite shafts offer tour-proven Proforce tip technology to generate unmatched stability and accuracy.
Wilson Staff offers a FYbrid fitting system on its web site that helps golfers determine which of the six FYbrid clubs provide the best long-term solution. The fitting system first asks for your swing speed (fast, medium, or slow), and then which long iron (3, 4, 5, or 6 iron) you hit the best. Lastly, the system asks you to estimate your ball trajectory (low to medium or medium to high) when hitting fairway woods. Based on these metrics, the FYbrid fitting system will recommend which FYbrids will fill the distance gaps in your game, from your driver to your iron comfort zone. All Wilson Staff clubs carry a one-year warranty.
About Wilson Staff In 1914, three events heralded the beginning of an exciting new era in golf. First, the flamboyant Walter Hagen won the U.S Open Championship. His amazing golfing skill and colorful personality captured headlines, increasing the nation's interest and participation in the game. Second, Henry Ford introduced the mass production assembly line, thereby doubling his workers' wages. He set a precedent that helped establish a new era in which the average man had both the time and money to play what had previously been a rich man's game. Third, Wilson Sporting Goods Company entered the sporting goods business. In the years to come, Wilson's bold new club ideas helped make the game more enjoyable for more golfers than ever before in the history of the game.
In 1954, Wilson helped introduce the modern era of power golf with its introduction of the Wilson Staff ball, the famous "long ball" that springs off the club face 40 percent faster than the speed of the clubhead. Since its introduction, the Wilson Staff ball has helped win more Masters and U.S. Open championships than any other ball. Over the years, such golfing greats as Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Nick Faldo, Payne Stewart, John Daly, and Vijay Singh have served on the Wilson Advisory Staff.

Great Clubs,

This review is from: Wilson/Staff Men's Right Hand Fybrid Fairway Wood (Sports)
Simply put... for a mid to high handicapper, these clubs are THE best for the money, and maybe for any amount. I use the Wilson Staff Di9 irons. I replaced the 5 with a Fybrid, and added the Fybrid 4 and 3 hybrids to the set. I also added the Fybrid 3 and 5 woods. In the end, it is the best set I've ever owned. These clubs hit straighter than any I've seen, and give me more distance. You can't go wrong... Wilson Staff was once one of the most respected names in golf. When Wilson changed its business model and decided to focus less on golf, it resulted in a generation of junk clubs and toys. Now, Wilson Staff is back and they are selling the best product out there at the cheapest prices possible, in order to earn back its reputation. Take advantage now. Once Wilson Staff reaches the level it once held, it will charge accordingly.

Shipped the wrong club,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased this club from Rock Bottom Golf via Amazon.com. Even though the illustration on the website clearly showed the FYbrid with a 19.5 degree loft and there was no other option, they shipped me the 5 wood with 18 degrees of loft instead. I did not get what I paid for or wanted. I guess I could ship it back, but that would be costly and time consuming. Be VERY careful about buying anything from Rock Bottom Golf. Maybe there is a good reason they are at the rock bottom.

$79.99,

This review is from: Wilson/Staff Men's Right Hand Fybrid Fairway Wood (Sports)
This is ridiculous that this priced jumped up to $132 just because there is only 1 left. If you go into a store and they only have one of the products left, I have never seen where they jack up the price. This club is still $79 at other retailers!
