Bobby Jones: Bobby Jones Hybrids
built 636 days ago
The Bobby Jones Hybrid designed by Jesse Ortiz is intended to replace the difficult to hit longer irons. Instead of designing hybrid clubs that look like standard irons, Jesse Ortiz philosophy takes advantage of the design of a fairway metal's low and deeper center of gravity, its wide bodied triangle of stability (TOS), and its versatile contoured sole. Instead of using the homogenous shape of most hybrids with a long, flat leading edge, Jesse Ortiz has created a more traditional shaped hybrid. It is a throw back to the original Cleek or Mashee. The Bobby Jones Hybrids were designed for maximum performance, with the ability to get the ball out of every type of lie, whether it be a divot of fairway bunker. Bobby Jones Hybrids by Jesse Ortiz are ... shorter in length, which increases accuracy and makes the Bobby Jones Hybrid a real long iron replacement, not just a fairway metal alternatives.

The entire line of Bobby Jones products use a breakthrough technology in metal design. Utilizing a patented brazing process, the fairway metals and hybrids feature a crown construction that allows for the transfer of over 30 grams to the rear soleplate area. The sound- and feel-enhancing maraging material is forged to a thickness of only 0.35 mm, versus a typical cast crown of 1.22 mm. This weight displacement lowers and deepens the center of gravity, increasing launch trajectory and minimizing spin for longer carry distance and softer landing. All fairway metals and hybrids feature Carpenter 465 maraging steel faces, milled to only 1.6 mm for maximum energy transfer and optimal ball compressions.

Unlike all other hybrids, the Bobby Jones Hybrids feature a well-contoured sole with the heel and toe areas swept away. Jesse Ortiz unique design strategy provides unparalleled versatility from difficult lies. Whether you're in the deep rough, a fairway trap, in a divot or on hard pan, these long iron replacements will save you strokes and replace your lost confidence in the 175 to 210 yard shot. Bobby Jones by Jesse Ortiz Hybrids are the Club of the Year.

The length of the shafts in the Bobby Jones hybrids is a bit shorter to help with accuracy. A quick check against the TaylorMade shows that this is true for the 19° (40.25" versus 40.5" in the TM) but not in the 21° (40.25" versus 40" in the TM).

Bobby Jones hybrids are ... shorter in length to increase accuracy and truly be long iron replacements… not fairway metal alternatives. All clubs feature a deep, translucent Jaguar Racing green color, proprietary JS-6 and JS-7 shafts, and classic, heavy knit head covers.

Jesse Ortiz has gone old-style with his build of the Bobby Jones hybrid. Instead of leaning towards a design that looks more like an iron, Ortiz went the other way. The Bobby Jones hybrids take more design elements and looks from fairway metal woods. This might be because Ortiz once owned and ran the Orlimar company and is known for his fairway wood designs.
