If you are not using these
next-generation Hybrids– you are wasting strokes every round!
There is a wonderful course about 10 minutes from our office. It
was designed by the famous course designer, Robert Trent Jones a
few decades ago. It combines fun and challenge – except #7. All I
can say is, Robert Trent Jones, what were you thinking! A 215 yard
par three! Who needs that! What do you expect me to do – reach for
my trusty 2 iron? Or do a Ben Hogan and belt a 1 iron onto the
green! I don’t carry a 1, 2, 3 or 4 iron. I figure, who needs that
frustration. So I hit a 5 iron, wedge to the green and take a 4
for the hole.
Why don’t I use a five wood? I have tried and I will get there and
sometimes with good results but too often I am a bit to the right
or left and both sides of this hole have trouble. Do you have the
same problem?
That his all changed now. Since I’ve been using theses phenomenal
stroke saving Next-generation Hybrids from the Kenneth Smith
Company I use the 21 degree Hybrid and I’m either on the green or
just in the fringe.
These Next-generation Hybrids are
nothing less than the easiest to hit distance clubs ever created
When we first got hold of a set of these heads, we knew they were
something special! We have known of the Kenneth Smith name for a
long time – decades, actually. The Kenneth Smith name has always
equaled quality and frankly, has equaled very high price (HOLD
ON NOW, don’t leave me because of those words ‘very high
price’, we have worked out a great deal for you). Kenneth Smith
was the original custom club crafter. He handmade club sets for
kings, diplomats and governors. In fact, the very first Masters Golf Tournament and again the third Masters Golf
Tournaments were won by a man named Horton using Kenneth Smith
clubs! Not a bad heritage on which to build a company.
You will swing your Kenneth Smith Next-generation Hybrid like
an eight or nine iron. Just easy and smooth. Then – POW ZOOM. Ball
takes off.
Here is the big deal
With the extra distance you get extra height! That means a softer
landing on the green. That means you will carry the trap, carry
the creek and then land softly on the green. The big advantage
really is the height with carry. Means much more control, much
better ball flight. It means you will be on the green!

Replacement Guide
Here is how it works:
The 18 degree Hybrid replaces your 2-3 iron
The 21 degree Hybrid replaces your 3-4 iron
The 24 degree Hybrid replaces your 4-5 iron |
WOW – These Next-generation Hybrids
will save strokes around the green too!!
We all remember the chip shots of Tod Hamilton as he won the
British Open. He used his Hybrid clubs, chocked down a bit and
laid the ball next to the pin from any where on the fringe. Well,
I tried it and these Hybrids are fantastic chippers! You
positively must give it a try. These clubs make a chip shot so
easy to control!
Would somebody please haul my partner out of here!
When these heads first arrived, I knew they were perfect – there
was no question about it. Why? They had the Kenneth Smith name on
them. The Kenneth Smith Company only produces perfection. If it is
not perfect, it will not leave their company – Kenneth Smith has
the track record to prove it..
Not good enough for my partner Dan, of course. Oh no, not Dan, he
spends three hours with the heads – measuring, weighing, locating
the center of gravity. He puts them through every possible
inspection!
I believe if Dan took delivery of a brand new,
straight-from-the-factory Ferrari, he would first test the
compression in all twelve cylinders before he would drive it! He
can spend hours checking and re-checking.
Dan was overwhelmed with the results of his testing. The weight on
each head was right on the money. Center of gravity was very low
and toward the rear - just where it should be on a Hybrid. Weight
engineering – perfect. Balance - perfect. Face bulge – perfect;
face roll – perfect (see Dan’s Tech-talk item below on this
topic). These heads were precisely the perfect Hybrid club head a
serious golfer needs!
Dan then inspected these heads feature by feature with his 30X
Cinepar 13-25mm magnifier! They passed his scrutiny with flying
colors. But of course they did! Once again, they came from a
company built on perfection.
Then those creeps at Kenneth Smith
won ’t let us have any!
They get us all chomping-at-the-bit to offer you their
Next-generation Hybrids and then they pull the rug out from under
us! Dan and I talked to them at length and wanted an initial
supply of 300 sets. And we want them at a pretty good discount.
They gave us a flat-out ‘No’. They just can’t supply that many to
one company because their production is so limited. And besides,
they do not want to work with us because we only want their
Next-generation Hybrids – not their driver and not their irons. We
were really ticked off!
We already offer a phenomenal driver – our Redhead. Plus, the
irons we have for you – the Diamondback Pulse irons are the most
game improving irons you can buy. The irons Kenneth Smith offers
are muscleback irons – great for the single digit handicap golfer
but not for those of us who are trying to break 100 or 90 or 80.
The Kenneth Smith irons are without a doubt the most meticulously
forged irons we have ever seen but here again, we could only offer
them to golfers who shoot in the 70’s to low 80’s.. Frankly, those
men and women are not our primary market. As one of our customers
once said, “You guys offer the perfect clubs for guys like me who
love the game and want to get consistently into the 80’s.” That
has always been our Number One Priority.
We went round and round with the people at Kenneth Smith. Can we
get just 200 Hybrid sets now with a guarantee of more when we need
them? They won’t do it because they don’t make that many
Next-generation Hybrid set and they sure did not like the price we
offered them for the Hybrids. But you know how we operate – we
fight and fight to get the lowest possible price so we can offer
you top quality clubs at a true bargain price.
This standoff went on for weeks. Finally, we guaranteed them we
would offer their muscleback irons to our low handicap golfers –
we estimated only 100 to 150 sets, not a big number but
significant. However, we only want seventy and low eighties
shooters to use those irons and that is the only way we will offer
them. Plus, we need at least 200 Next-generation Hybrid sets right
now with their promise we could get more when we need them. And
since we are now offering their muscleback irons we want the
Hybrids at the price we offered.
They finally agreed but only 150 Next-generation Hybrid sets right
now and maybe more for us if they can ramp up production on them –
which we know they will only do if they can still maintain their
extremely tight quality control. But they would let us have the
Next-generation Hybrids at our price.
