First Titanium Hybrid Wins Top 10 Finish in Champions Tour

September 19, 2007

Twitter Facebook Email

The Champions Tour winner of the Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach became the first player to accomplish a Top 10 finish with an all-titanium hybrid this weekend at the Greater Hickory Classic. The Alpha V5 Hi-COR hybrid is a unique all-Titanium utility club, combining the distance of a driver with the playability and accuracy of irons.

"I like the square face [of the V5 hybrid] and how solid it plays", says the 2007 Ginn Championship Tour winner who placed 7th at the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn in Conover, NC.

Dr. Jim Yeh, chief designer of Alpha Golf, asserts Titanium is the next evolution for hybrids when achieving distance with playability. "Players love the easy-to-hit feel of hybrid clubs. Combining this with the distance benefits of Titanium will undoubtedly achieve maximum ball speed with ideal launch angles." This weekend’s Top 10 finish in the Champions Tour proved the design concept of an all-Titanium hybrid club is catching on.

The V5 Hi-COR hybrid is crafted from 15-3-3-3 Titanium with a forged Active Beta face insert. This technology provides elastic yet high yield strength impacts, resulting in maximum momentum transfer. A semi-low profile with elongated face produces a very high moment of inertia for stability on off-center impact, and reduces dynamic torque for improved control. In addition, the modified weight-redistributed sole creates higher launch and optimal spin conditions for long and accurate shots.

Alpha Golf, a special division of Kent Sports, Inc., has been making high-performance golf equipment since 2000. In addition to their Tour proven hybrid clubs, Alpha Golf carries an entire line of acclaimed woods, hybrids, forged irons and wedges, and putters. Most notably, Alpha drivers have been touted as the "Best Drivers You’ve Never Heard Of" by Golf Digest Magazine and won 6 RE/MAX World Long Drive championship titles.
