Mizuno’s 2018 CLK hybrids

Published

on

Mizuno has officially launched its new CLK hybrids, which bring back familiar nomenclature from its 2010 MP-CLK hybrids — “Cleek” is a historic name for a driving iron, and that reference was confirmed by Mizuno.

As we recently saw on the PGA Tour, the CLK hybrids have “Wave Technology” in the sole behind the face by way of a speed slot that uses geometry to develop more energy transfer at impact. While this speed slot has a similar look to the JPX-900 hybrids they replace, the CLK hybrids have an initial wave with “larger amplitude” to produce more ball speed than the older model, according to Mizuno.

Like the JPX-900 hybrids, the CLK hybrids are made with 1770 maraging steel faces that use the strong material to make its faces thinner. The new hybrids, however, are built to move the center of gravity (CG) lower and closer to the face. This shift in CG location will help encourage a higher launch and lower spin for golfers, according to Mizuno.

Four different loft options are available, but each of the hybrids has an eight-way adjustable hosel to help golfers dial in the loft and lie angle they prefer.

Mizuno’s new CLK hybrids, which will integrate into the company’s Performance Fitting Program to help golfers customize their full-bag setups, will come stock with Fujikura Speeder Evolution shafts and Golf Pride M31 360 grips. They will sell for $249 starting on September 15.

    Probably the best hybrid i’ve hit. Solid weight to get through the rough, and the simulator had it going a very consistent distance.

    Why is the shaft on the 2 hybrid so long?

    I have seen several place that have said the 900s hybrids are being discontinued. So these are replacements.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
