Pinemeadow Excel EGI Hybrids (Men's, Right Hand, Graphite, Regular Flex)

I bought this club because I wanted to try out a 9 wood. I have a 7 wood that is so easy to hit why not try a 9 wood? But I just couldn’t justify spending $350 at the local golf store for something Ii may not even like. So when I saw this one I jumped on it, I’ve spent more money on a bad meal. When it came, I went straight to the driving range and started smacking balls. On my first swing, I fell in love. It launches the ball so high and so easy to hit it felt like cheating. It carries for me 60 year old retiree 125 yards easy. That falls right in between my 9 iron and my 8 iron. But that’s not even the best part of it. The best part is the launch angle and height. This club just skies the ball and at its Apex it drops straight down. Now I get in trouble on the wrong side of the tree lines more times than not and I am confronted with trying to punch the ball through or go over the trees. This club goes over the trees with so little effort. But I’ve also started using it to bump and run shots around the green. I have a lot more control using this club as opposed to say a 6 or 7 iron. Honestly, I don’t know how you can go wrong. It’s well made and it’s cheap. I think you’ll be very happy with this club. I know I am.

Really happy with the quality of this 6 hybrid. I hit the ball so well with it. Graphite and club head are quality materials. I was putting it 155-175 yards, down the middle, pretty much the exact same shot shape as my TM Burner 6 hybrid that I love so much I need to replace with this club. Most of my other clubs are modern Ping and Taylormadr models and this club feels in line with the other clubs in my bag.

Performance and quality with low price. Just a little bit heavy

This is my first hybrid club, which I am using as a three iron / 5 wood replacement. It only took a few shots over a couple of rounds to adjust to it with very successful results. The resulting shots have been relatively long in range and very straight off the club. This is a very good club for the mid to high range handicapper and seems to be of very good quality for the price point.

Bought a #3 and #5 hybrids and was hesitant to use without a lot of practice, after just a little practice I now use the #5 on the fairways and the #3 off the tee all the time. My old woods I was all over, if I hit it right I would send the ball a mile but I was erratic, slicing, hooking, nubbing, you name it and I would get a decent drive here and there, no consistency. I now hit the ball pretty darn straight pretty often, I have sacrificed some distance but I feel confident off the tee that I am not losing my ball and on the fairway also. My drives dictate my game and I am more consistent then ever off the tee now. I will say, I think my game has improved for sure due to these two clubs ! I love them !A follow up review, I also have bought the 6,7,9 and PW and I am pretty darn accurate with all of the clubs, I know my game has improved and my average score has lowered, I hope it continues to. These hybrids are cost friendly so I say buy one, try it, give it a little time, I was concerned because it took a while to get used to a hybrid, but it became a love, love relationship with my hybrids, I threw all my irons in the trash can except my sand wedge, no need for them, recycle that scrap iron !!!!

I am an amateur golfer whom found I mis-hit this club (and the pinemeadow hybrids in general) more so than the equivalent clubs from Lazarus, for example.Sometimes, this is a good club off the tee on PAR 3 holes, when you hit the ball just right - but this club is not as forgiving. And the Pinemeadow hybrids seem to chip easily and show wear and tear after less than one season.So I am begining to move the Pinemeadow hybrids out of my bag in favor of the Lazarus clubs, which are built much better, do not show wear and tear as easily, are more comfortable to hit, and inspire far more confidence in my shot, than these Pinemeadows.

I have the 19 (3h) and 25 (5h) degree versions. For just $100 total those two clubs have extended my comfort range on the course by 50 yards. Before, I only felt confident in my accuracy from under 150 yards. I can now rely on the 3h reaching 200 yards and the 5h 180 yards with consistency which is tremendous for me. Easily 10-15 yards further for me than the equivalent iron and I'm starting to get even more yardage out of them. When I hit a bad shot, it stays in play and only loses a modest amount of yardage. I shoot significantly better scores and enjoy golf more now. If you have never tried a hybrid try replacing your least favorite long iron with one of these cheap beauties.

I have the 3 hybrid...only hit a few practice balls so far...Some thoughts and observations:The club head has a nice heavier feel to it then my Adams...which I likeThe grip is a tacky type which feels goodShaft is regular it's Pinemeadows own not sure of the quality...regular flexLength standardThe club head is attractive...finish wise..we will see how it holds upThe face is very good and groovedI was looking for a 3 hybrid..reg shaft, because I have a stiff shafted 3 Adams I bought used .I wish they would have offered a senior flex which they do on their website. Didn't go there first.. my bad. Reg will be ok.The price is a little high to me for a generic club, with out a named brand shaft..I guess you can change that but the price is high now...but on the other hand the avg Joe like me can't afford the Callaways and Pings..so oh well....lolMy Adams clubs are starting to wear down..the slot technology ones...not made any more supposedly and thought I would try this hybrid.I don't hit it far but mostly straight...I will edit this post after I play a round or two...Right now we've been 100 degrees for the last week...big cool down coming next week 95..lol...I'm 70 with some heart issues so heat is not a good thing unless u get out real early...all the best
