Tech Talk Cleveland has stuck to its hollow-construction concept, but it redesigned this hybrid set to include a larger chassis and face area, along with progressive sole widths (thinner as you move towards the short irons).

Player comments “I can go home right now as long as I can take these with me. They feel crisp, and I’ve never been able to hit a hybrid before – let alone an entire set.” . . . “You’d never know the clubhead was hollow from the sound. It’s sweet!” . . . “Much improved over the previous version.”

Hot The number of shaft options for a hacker set is impressive, and the redesign has resulted in a sleeker-looking clubhead that is more palatable at address. Even the short irons don’t look offensive – no small feat in an all-hybrid set.

Not The hybrid sand-wedge option is pushing the concept too far. What’s next, a hybrid chipper?

Appearing on David Letterman was fun, but the coolest thing since winning the US Open is how fans pull for you more. Getting applause every time I walk up to a green. That's different.

In a blog I wrote during the Ryder Cup, I called it "one of the greatest experiences of my professional life." As I said then, I hope I can do this again in 2010.
