Srixon's new F65 fairway wood, H65 hybrid: 2016 John Deere Classic

Is it me or is that 4 hybrid shaft not installed straight? The hosel and the shaft don't line up, and the ferrule was turned more on one side.

Those look great! Hopefully we get some heavier shaft options for the hybrid.

I won't judge based on looks alone, but the channel on the crown is quite a departure from the 45's. It seems like it would be a little distracting, but I've thought that in the past on other clubs and gotten over it when the performance is there. Not only did the 45's perform great (very overlooked here on GWRX), but they looked great, too, with a classic look at address. They were very appealing to me standing over the club. Performance trumps all, but personally I've never been a fan of excess visuals on golf club crowns. Of course, it's all personal preference (and as I said, performance trumps all), but I am happy with the current line of Srixon metalwoods and probably won't be in any hurry to demo these based on looks alone.

It does look askew. The ferrule is definitely not turned uniformly, but I wonder if this hybrid is bent at the hosel, or the shaft is shimmed, to affect loft or lie angle?
