July 10, 200619 yr I think Yonex has a new hybrid on the Japanese Tour.Some have shown up on eBay. Does anyone know about them? 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.
July 10, 200619 yr Author 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, 200619 yr by Texsport
July 10, 200619 yr Here is a page that has one for sale. It is a ladies hybrid. http://www.golftown.com/gtcommerce/stores/...vqGFTS{VSMrV1JJ
July 10, 200619 yr Author Here is a page that has one for sale. It is a ladies hybrid.http://www.golftown.com/gtcommerce/stores/...vqGFTS{VSMrV1JJ That's the club I'm talking about. It was listed in Golf Digest's "Hot List". There are male and female versions. If it's anything like the Yonex Cyberstar Nanospeed 460 driver, it should be very nice feeling at impact and produce a high trajectory. Edited July 31, 200619 yr by Texsport
July 11, 200619 yr That must be a U.S europe release, I have never seen it in Japan. Give it a try, cant be half bad.
July 12, 200619 yr 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.
July 12, 200619 yr Author 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! Edited July 29, 200619 yr by Texsport
July 17, 200619 yr Author Some hybrids rated here: http://www.golftestusa.com/specialty_clubs.html Yonex rated best feeling of this group and long. Edited July 17, 200619 yr by Texsport
July 26, 200619 yr Author 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.

July 30, 200619 yr Author 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! Texsport Edited July 30, 200619 yr by Texsport
