The MalibuWoody is the marriage of persimmon and titanium... the best of both worlds -- the shot making characteristics persimmon woods had with roll and bulge, the feel in the hands... with the distance generated by modern materials like steel, titanium and ceramics.
This is truly a player's club because it gives those with good hands the chance to shape the ball, to knock it down in the wind, and it dampens spin, which means much straighter shots. The feedback is amazing - you will know exactly where you hit the ball on the clubface.
It is also a great club for the not-so-gifted because it makes players out of them - suddenly they can hit a little draw, get forgiveness for their slices thanks to the gear affect created by the roll and bulge on the face of the club. Now their ball doesn't go sailing off in the wind as easily because they can hit it lower in the windy conditions.
It is a wonderful club for the youngsters to grow up with because they will learn the game from a shot makers perspective as did Hogan and Snead and Jones- they will be able to work the ball around doglegs, place it on either side of the fairway, hit it high or low as they need to....
Don't be afraid to try different lofts and shafts - these clubs are made very differently from the massive titanium noise-makers of their rivals. The patented sole plate and the shape of the head create new dynamics in loft and shaft stiffness - all making it easier for you to control the ball flight.
Just as far (within one percent) as the noisy massive clubheads, but 40% straighter according to tests at the #1 testing facility in the country, just outside San Diego. |
