Excellent hybrid with the cheapest grip ever sold

I've owned dozens of Hogan clubs and this one is a winner. Much better feel and higher ball flight than the Edge CFT hybrids. The stock Aldila NVS orange shaft is very good, although I agree it plays a bit soft to flex. Normally I discount claims like that, but I tried a regular and really had to adjust my swing, too slow and smooth for my preference. I prefer to belt it. The stiff feels more like a regular, or actually like a Callaway Firm, and works better for me. If you have a classic tempo the regular might be ideal. The NVS is known for low kick point and high launch.
At 6-4 I love the standard shaft length. I have the 14 degree 0 hybrid and it's great off the tee at 42.25 inches, an inch and 3/4 longer than my TaylorMade Rescue Mid 16 degree. The Hogan CFT Ti 17 degree 1 hybrid is also 42.25. Overall the Rescue Mid and CFT Ti are very similar, in appearance and performance. The CFT Ti probably plays more square, with less offset. I don't have the occasional snap hooks like with the Rescue Mid.
One thing to watch for with this club: It wants to set open. If you place it on the ground before gripping, the toe will swing open to the right. And not a little bit. I have to make sure to keep it square and grip the club off the ground.
The headcover is decent, albeit perhaps a bit snug. The joke, as I mentioned in the header, is an absurd cheap grip. It's like a thin piece of rubber designed to get the club out the door. I couldn't replace it fast enough.
Within the past month these clubs are now being sold in high volume on ebay and good bargains are available, on new or used versions.
