Review: Sonartec Hb-001


I got the Sonartec for Christmas and I've played with it for about 5 rounds and so far my opinions are mixed. It came used with an Accra HF M4 (about a stiff) shaft. The shaft is rather stiff, and I've never owned a graphite shafted hybrid (though I've hit a ton) so it takes a little getting used to. Aesthetically the club is very plain and elegant from the top, but the bottom is a little cheap looking. The feel is amazing; its a nice click when you make solid contact. Anyone who has ever hit a Sonartec wood knows what I'm talking about. And distance isn't the problem- this thing is long compared to many other hybrids I've hit. And I hit the ball a mile high with this thing, which in a sense is both good and bad.

Problem is, I can't seem to get a consistent ball flight. I know it's probably the indian, not the arrow, but this thing is much harder to hit than many other hybrids on the market. It's definitely a players club, but what you lose in forgiveness you gain in workability. Overall, for the better player, the Sonartec Hb-001 is worth a look.
