Who made the hybrid shaft with the metallic weave?

Who made the hybrid shaft with the metallic weave?

 

hybrex. Nice guys. They have been working on this shaft with Tom Lehman for development and they are pulling the prototypes in earlier than they expected. Real interesting technology. Titaniun and graphite composite combined together. Heavier shafts.

 

Here they are...

VyaTek Sports Launch’s New Golf Subsidiary…Hybrex Golf TM

 

Tempe, AZ (August 14, 2006) – VyaTek Sports announces the launch of its newest affiliate company, Hybrex Golf, to commercialize a new line of premium golf shafts based on their patented Exogridâ Technology.

 

“We’ve been developing high-end consumer products with ExoGrid, including: bicycles (www.titusti.com), baseball bats (www.slugger.com), and lacrosse/hockey sticks, since 2003”, says Howard Lindsay, VyaTek’s President and CEO. “We also began exploring the technical and economic implications of creating ExoGrid golf shafts and concluded that the synergy between ExoGrid and the growing niche market of hybrid clubs was a perfect fit. Hybrex Golf was formed to capitalize on this opportunity.”

 

“ExoGrid combines titanium and advanced composite material that allows us to create a low torque shaft design that provides significant improvements in accuracy, distance control and feel. The new Hybrex shaft line is designed specifically for hybrid clubs and fairway metals, two of the fastest growing segments in the golf industry”, Lindsay continued.

 

Hybrex’s SVP of Sales & Marketing, Pat Hus says “We developed the initial product line for advanced players. PGA Tour players have participated in the development of the initial tour specific shaft design that will be introduced at the PGA Championship this week.”

 

Hybrex Golf has assembled a seasoned management team which includes founder Howard Lindsay, who is a Technical Advisor to Golf Digest Magazine and a golf industry veteran. SVP of Sales & Marketing, Pat Hus, has 25-years experience marketing high-end consumer products while Director of Sales and Marketing, Jim Felty, also has extensive golf industry experience.

what was the "Igotcha" gadget on the shaft?

 

great pics btw...

[Asleep]

Whodat?

 

[schmidlack]

Practice range looks nicer than the courses I play!

[Sakman]

Damn, Scoopyyy you've been a busyyy man latelyyy!

 

Awesome pics the last few weeks. Your hard work is appreciated.

[clawl75]

Whodat?

 

 

That is a weighted warm-up tool from igotcha, the complany that makes ball retrievers. It comes in 4 different weights and is available most any of the bigger golf websites. I had a chance to try one about 9 monthes ago and it really feels good. If comes with intructions for positioning it at different points on the shaft for different effects.

 

 

 

 

New question:

Are the red 2 bar putters tour issue only???

[sandy]

Srixon 100s are the best looking forging of the bunch including the cobra/macgregors. Hope the X-Tour prototypes aren't going to waste in CH IIIs bag this week.

[bennytheblade86]

I have never seen this sq cover before, is this a tour headcover or maybe a proto thats out? Maybe one of our nike guys here could help us out!

 

 

[bennytheblade86]

Whats this / BTW great pics easyyy, Gxgolfer and Richard!

 

[sergizmo]

Thanks again Richard for the terrific pics. :cheesy:

 

When did Rory switch to NDS irons? I think Grace Park plays these as well. What a sleeper set of irons.

 

Was Lee Westwood using a Momentus short game wizard?

[golfhawaii]

Freddy with a Bridgestone driver!!! I wonder if it will be in play?! He also got some Vokey's from Vokey himself, wonder if they get in play over the Cleveland's.

 

Great picutures, thanks for the time and effort you guys put into them!

[br61]

Very nice and thanks for taking your time to do this for all of us but can you lose some of the duplicate pictures?

Anything for you Bill. :cheesy:

[Sakman]

Nice shots of KP's RAC Proto's!!! :cheesy:

[nikemike]

Wow, LOTS of pics. Thanks.

 

The titanium weave shafts are interetings.

Rory won with the NDS earlier this year.

That SQ headcover is the same style that they offer aftermarket, I just haven't seen it in the black/yellow colors.

Is Freddy droppin' the J33 420 in his bag or is that a JFFP ('just for Freddy proto)?

[reebus]

Those Raw CG2's ROCK! Why can't we get this option on the market?

[3puttbert]

The Cameron Ping b60 style putter looks interesting. I am also jealous of a couple of 10 year old kids. Zach Johnson still using his SeeMore. Thanks for all the great pictures. There is so much to see it is amazing. I am living vicariously thru your camera

[Seve424]

What's up with the giant bag of ancient clubs? Is that a persimmon driver? Wonder how many of those Ansers are Scottsdales?

 

[rwegolfing]

These might the best pics posted ever. It is great to see companies making a late season push to try and get product out and tried. Is this a new driver from Bridgestone or just the 420.

Thanks again

I got a laugh out of that too. I ues if you want an old school Ping, this is the guy to get it from. I've ben to a couple of Tour Events and have never seen this setup.

[abewley]

I'm not big on callaway irons...but the more I see those new x tour protos the more i'm likin' them.

[madpebs]

wow, i noticed that too, Nike NDS for Sabo :fool: might have to go hit'em. Price is right :cheesy:

[scall1968]

I like the shots of the shoes. It's nice to see what might me coming up in the next year.

[golfhawaii]

What are the group of Never Compromise things that aern't putters, but I'm guessing is some kind of setup/training thing???

 

Are you talking about the weight or weight wrench- the box looking objects?
