Golf Digest E21 Article

Have you played the E21 Hybrids?

Let's see if we can get some comments from users of the E21 Hybrids. What's your experience? What did you like about them? What didn't you like?

I am currently using the 23 degree E21 Hybrid. I love it, it's a 200 yard club, it goes straight and I hit is nice and high to land nice and soft. The hybrids have a scandium shaft and a steel head. The shaft swings like butter.

Scandium In Golf - Technology or Talent Debate

Technology has always played a role in taking sports to the next level.  Hence the debate -   Which is the greatest factor when each new generation of professional golfers break the long-standing records of the legends of the past - technology, or talent?  Is Tiger Woods really that much more gifted than Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus?  Or, does the latest technologies of equipment and materials make the difference?

Scandium shafts in 4th place!

While not official, It appears that Boo Weekley is using the e21 shafts in his irons, e21 issued this press release back in late November, while they don't mention his name another quick search leads to this news item! While there is no confirmation that he is still using them, there is no reason to believe he has stopped either. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll catch Tiger this week.

On the Champions Tour long time e21 Scandum shaft user John Cook is in 15th place... Let's hope for a strong finish.

Update: Boo finished T-19th and Vijay finished T-23, John Cook finished T-22 on the Champions tour
