The New Shape of Hybrid Technology Arrives Mid-February

Most hybrid profiles continue the same profile throughout the set. To gain maximum effectiveness, however, the long irons should be wider soled for maximum forgiveness, and the short irons should be scalloped for effective shortgame play.

Part hollow-bodied iron, part hybrid, the Dynacraft Avatar XMOI is our first hybrid set to take on a truly progressive appearance throughout the set. For the weekend warrior who wants to improve their game this set perfectly integrates all the necessary tools to help them achieve that goal.

The #3 and 4 irons have a wider footprint sporting an increased breadth and shallow face. This positions the center of gravity much lower and more rearward within the design to give less skilled players added confidence and the ability to easily get the ball airborne and also increase solidness of contact.

The mid-irons progressively become narrower (as less game improvement is required) and bridge the gap between a conventional iron appearance. The scoring clubs starting with the #8 look traditional at address. The additionalloft beautifully hides the hollow-body but still helps to increase the moment of inertia. The rounded toplines provide plenty of face area and raise the center of gravity enough to control the trajectory. The inclusion of three wedges provide for better course management by eliminating distance gaps.

Arriving mid-February.

The Acer XK series will be our most versatile line to date allowing true custom fitting.

Our newest clubhead arrivals will be the exciting Acer XK drivers, fairways and hybrids to complement the already popular XK irons that debuted in September. The hybrids are based on most popular hybrid platform in our line, but we added a few new design elements to further improve upon the performance.

There are two hidden elements which enhance the design so you play better. The Acer XK hybrids feature our exclusive Variable Crown Technology (VCT). The crowns are cast as little as 0.5mm thick (that’s equivalent to 5 sheets of paper) allowing all the unwanted weight to be repositioned deep within the head.

Next, a variable face thickness was selected. This is where the wall thickness around the perimeter of the face is much thinner than the center to create a more re-active face. This helps to provide a very crisp sound at impact that may only be experienced in higher end products on the market.

Assembly lengths were selected to be direct replacements for the same numbered and lofted long irons to provide easy to predict yardages. These clubs can be matched with hybrid-specific shafts or any 0.370” parallel tip iron shaft. Combining the internal weighting, wider base and high moment of inertia will make these by far more forgiving than a traditional iron.

The Acer XK hybrids will be available in both right and left-handed in #3 (19°), #4 (22°) and #5 (25°) options. If you are serious about your game, then these can be a vital step in helping you lower your score and achieve your goals for the golfing season.

The Acer XK Hybrid Components retail for $17.95 each. Call 800 367-8912 to order!

2009 Will Be A Year of Change

As a new year starts, I predict plenty of change for the following year and I am not just talking about the political landscape. I am sure a lot of people would like to put a fork in 2008 as few would have predicted the severity and swiftness of the economic meltdown toward the latter part of the year.  But don’t worry! People will continue to play golf.  Albeit they might play less golf (rounds) or take more trips to their local driving range to appease their golfing fix until things get better.

Love him or hate him, fellow golfers, golf publications and golf analysts on TV will be once again happy to see a healthy Tiger roaming the course again (maybe not his caddy though if your last name is Mickelson). Between stimulating the economy, commanding two wars and shooting hoops on the hard court, our newly elected president might play more golf in office (and left-handed to boot) than the one getting ready to [Read more →]

How to Use and Adjust the Dynacraft Prophet ICT Adapter

Download the Dynacraft Prophet ICT Driver Instructional Guide.

Last month, we introduced you to one of the most innovative golf products to hit the market called the Dynacraft Prophet ICT (Interchangeable Clubfitting Technology) driver series. The history and purpose of this driver can be found at the Dynacraft Prophet ICT Driver Part I Introduction.  But briefly is it a system with a removable hosel adapter that will allow the shaft to be exchanged like you might have seen by other manufacturer’s adjustable drivers.  The difference is the patent pending ICT adapter which is bored at an angle and able to be orientated into the head in eight different positions.  Each position produces a distinctive lie and face angle to change the ball flight to the needs of the individual golfer’s requirements.  Adjustment of up to +/-2° in both the face angle and lie are possible, which can also have an influence in the effective loft or trajectory of the ball.

Our newest clubhead arrivals will be the exciting Acer XK drivers, fairways and hybrids to complement the already popular XK irons that debuted in September. The Acer XK series will be our most versatile line to date allowing true custom fitting. The driver series has many game improvement features to provide not only maximum distance, but accuracy and trajectory control.

The first thing you will notice will be the triangular shape producing a unique appearance at address which is by design. The triangular shape pushes center of gravity deeper or further rearward and will be our broadest driver (117mm) to date. This promotes a higher moment of inertia than a traditional shaped driver for increased stability to help you find more fairways off of the tee. Golfers will have had no problems with the appearance at address.

Let’s Hear From You - Thumbs Up Or Down?

On occasion the USGA asks for comments from equipment manufacturers on certain topics.  Their intention is to “protect golf’s best traditions, to prevent an over-reliance on technological advances rather than skill, and to ensure that skill remains the dominant element of success throughout the game.” This is a very noble goal, but it could potentially conflict with equipment advances or inhibit technological growth.

In recent years the USGA and the R&A has conducted research, which in some cases has required changes to the equipment rules. Examples of which are moment of inertia, grooves and most recently club adjustability.  One such topic in the exploratory stages is the impact of high-lofted wedges (for example 60° or higher).

I have already expressed my honest assessment and opinion to the USGA. Now it is your turn to sound off.  Let’s hear from you whether high-lofted wedges (only 60° or higher) have made a positive or negative impact on your, possibly your customer’s or fellow playing partner’s game.
