NOVA Hybrid Irons

   Hottest Hybrids for 2012

We combined the playability of a hybrid wood with the inherent accuracy of an iron to produce the industry's first true hybrid Iron set.  Our NOVA Hybrid Irons are as easy to hit as hybrid woods but give you the ability to aim for the pin on your approach shots. 

Although hybrid woods are typically the easiest to hit clubs in a player's bag  they incorporate the single flaw of all wood type clubs - bulge and roll built into the club-face.  For those not familiar with these terms, they relate to the curvature of the club-face from toe to heel and sole to top-line.  The presence of bulge and roll on a club-face makes it impossible to attain any level of distance or accuracy control that you would normally associate with the flat face of an iron.  With a hybrid wood you aim to the width and depth of a green whereas with an iron you aim at the pin. 


NOVA Hybrid Irons have the flat club-face of an iron coupled with an overly wide sole to produce the low center of gravity typical of a hybrid wood.  They are designed for single-length play: same length, weight, lie angle, bounce angle, sole width, etc. throughout the set, and completely swing-weight and MOI matched.  NOVA Hybrid Irons are shafted with a specialized frequency balanced graphite shaft (100% graphite) specifically designed to accommodate all swing speeds.  The end product is a lightweight hybrid iron approximately the same club length as a conventional #5 iron that promotes the sweeping style of swing to produce the ease of playability and added distance of a hybrid wood.  The big distinction is that NOVA Hybrid Irons are just that – irons, which means you not only enjoy the ease of play attributes of a hybrid wood but also the distance control and unparalleled accuracy of an iron.


These are without a doubt the easiest to play, most consistent, and accurate hybrids on the market today.  Try them for yourself with no risk under our 30-day return policy.
