The ones on ebay are ancient close outs. The new ones have had decent at best ratings, still many many more on the market I would reccomend. Yonex seems to be in limbo like maruman, and yamaha.

I'm talking about the new Yonex XC hybrids rated as the "best feeling" and some of the "longest hitting" hybrids by Golf Digest and the British Women & Golf magazine. Graphite top and steel body I think. There's not even any information about them on the Yonex site. Edited July 27, 2006 by Texsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like the Yonex Cyberstar Nanospeed 460 driver, it should be very nice feeling at impact and produce a high trajectory.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 That must be a U.S europe release, I have never seen it in Japan. Give it a try, cant be half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull808 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I had the new Yonex for about three weeks in the bag. Very good and solid club. Much more solid feeling then I expected with the carbon crown. It had a very solid sound at impact versus the usual duller sound I get with composite designed heads. I didn't notice much pluses in the distance or workability area. One of the things that appealed to me was that it had hardly any offset on it. BUT...it still wasn't better then my Tourstage FuT so I passed on keeping it. Definitely the best hybrid I've found next to my Tourstage.

KLI Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the info pitbull808. You're confirming what I've read about the Yonex hybrids. I'm going to try a 16* and a 19* Yonex CX that are supposed to be Japanese Tour issued. I bought them from a Yonex staff pro. I see you use graphite shafts in your hybrids. I've had great success using Tour Concept shafts in Sonnartec hybrids. I like the fact that I get more spin and the ball stops on greens instead of running out/off the greens as I've experienced with graphite. I'm a low ball hitter!

KLI Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Some hybrids rated here: http://www.golftestusa.com/specialty_clubs.html Yonex rated best feeling of this group and long. Edited July 17, 2006 by Texsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLI Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) The clubs finally made it to a Yonex golf site with more info. On the Yonex USA site---but not Japan! http://www.yonexusa.com/golf_cyberstar_xc.cfm The CX is the men's model and the CX FL is the ladies. I think Monty is playing a CX now.

KLI Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Update! These hybrids are really good! High, soft landing shots and the heads are very forgiving! Best feeling hybrids I've ever hit--and nothing else is even close! I haven't hit the Bridgestone yet, but Sonartec and Adams are dead feeling and land too hot compared to the Yonex!
