Review: Integra SoooLong hybrid irons - 3, 4, & 5

They arrived late yesterday evening, and look absolutely beautiful. I have to say that Christian, and the folks over at Solid Rock Golf did a great job. Every aspect of what I asked for was done, to a tee.
The specs: Integra SoooLong hybrid heads with UST - Proforce RV2-95 Gold shafts in R flex (cut to firm) and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips

The clubs have a nice, solid feel when struck properly. The ball comes off a bit higher than I'm used to, but still seems to carry as much distance as if I'd hit it with an iron. As far as I can tell, the main difference is that a mis-hit ball still lands in the general area of where I was aiming, and doesn't lose nearly as much distance as it does if I mis-hit an iron.
Overall, these clubs are forgiving, and long (I cranked out a couple of 5 "iron" shots that traveled over 200 yards in the air. For me that is L O N G). The ball comes down on "butterfly feet" even from 190 yards out. I think I'll be keeping these Integra's in the bag for awhile.
Thank you Solid Rock Golf!

Glad to hear that the clubs are working out well for you.. I like the feel and forgiveness of the SoooLong hybrids and the price of them is great.

I will have to use the little phrase of "butterfly feet" some time.

It's only 2 words ::: snapping fingers ::: Too bad it's too short for me to copyright.
Thanks again Christian. They hit sweet, as you can tell.

First trip to the course with the new Integras today. On a 190 yard par 3, I hit the 5 to within about 25 feet, and the ball was within 2 feet of it's divot.
Unfortunately, that was the only shot I hit into a green with them, as it's a rather short course. Most of the 2nd shots into par 4's are wedges, or at most 6 irons.

Why do I not see the Integras listed on the Solid Rock website? When I click on 'Built Clubs' and then 'Hybrid', all I see are the Infiniti Assure XS & the Infiniti Hot Shot XS models.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Bama. It's probably because I contacted Christian and told him exactly what I wanted. I named the model, shaft, grips, how to cut the shafts for flex - pretty much everything.
Christian was a nice guy, and did it for me. I absolutely couldn't be happier with the clubs. Hitting them inspires a lot of confidence when darn near every shot goes where you want it to. Now if I could just get the rest of the clubs in my bag to work as well.

PS - I've hit the Hot Shots. Same trajectory and forgiveness. I just wanted the Integras.

So the only difference is that the Integras are custom built and the Hot Shots are 'off the rack'?

- Bama

The Hot Shots are shaped a little differently. I'm pretty positive Christian would be happy to custom build either to your specs though. Shoot him a PM and tell him what you're looking for.

The Integra heads, so you'll have something to compare the Hot Shots to:

Wow, those look really nice. I picked up a set of Integra SooLong Quadratic fairway woods (3,5,7,9). Got them on Ebay for relatively cheap, but the shafts were ****. I've since had SK Fiber SL46 lite shafts installed and absolutely love them. The 3 is turning into my favorite club.

I'm going to have to try one of these.
