First thanks to GolfWRX and KZG for the chance to test the H370 Tour Hybrid! I was given the 18* to test with the shaft of my choice, the Aerotech SteelFiber i80 in Stiff.
Pro's
The look of the head is exactly what I like in a hybrid, small and slightly open. The club has got a nice weight to being heavier than some other hybrids I have played. The extra weight helped especially in the rough. The flight was mid with very low spin which made it a great club in the wind. Having a slightly open face angle also helped keep the dreaded hook out of play which seems to be a problem I have with hybrids.
Con's
Although I loved the looks and feel of the club, for me it seemed to lack in distance. With the 18* I was consistently getting it out there in 210 range which is about 10 yards less than I expected. The low spin and mid launch also made it hard to hold greens. I will probably pull the shaft and go with something that is higher launch and mid spin. I’ve played these shafts before with no problem but this is a low spin head.
Bottom Line
For the better player, this hybrid is a solid performer and gives you the ability to work the ball easily. Fitting will be critical with this club as it seems to need a higher launching shaft to make the best use out of it. Off the tee on a dry day this thing goes forever and it glides through the rough with relative ease. But if you’re looking for a club that provides significant carry and stops this isn’t for you.
Big Review
Per KZG, the H370 Tour is designed for competitive players who want a hybrid that delivers maximum ball speed yet still offers workability. The cup face is made from an exclusive forged maraging alloy that was originally designed for military applications. This is without a doubt the hottest face of any brand of hybrid that we have ever tested.
The H370 Tour’s mid profile allows for easy shotmaking and the sole design allows the clubhead to glide through most any lie. A “must have” for the better player. The 18* that I tested has a ½ degree open face angle while the 22* and 26* have a square face. The H370 Tour takes a .370 tip shaft.
Look
You’d be hard pressed to find a better looking classic hybrid head. It’s very simple in a rounded design with no bells or whistles……just designed to work. In the new age of golf club marketing, it’s nice to see a more traditional club.
Performance / Playability
The H370 Tour works well out the rough or off the tee with a penetrating flight. I played this club on a windy day (20 mph + winds) and the ball just bored right through the wind. I could play it in the back of my stance and flight it low and could hit draws and fades easily. This is a great club for mid summer as a fairway finder that rolls forever.
Feel
This is hands down the best part of the club. When struck solidly, the club feels very dense and meaty. It’s also a very quiet club and barely makes a noise when caught clean. If you mishit this, you can definitely feel it……this is a players club, not the most forgiving thing I’ve hit.
Overall Bottom Line
For single handicaps looking for a workable no frills hybrid that can be flighted easily, this is a great choice. If you have problems hitting the ball low go up in loft on this thing as it’s a rocket launcher. I normally am a high ball hitter and I was hitting mid launching lasers. All in all, a solid hybrid for the better player.
