Vulcan Golf Introduces Backfire Hybrid Irons

Press Release

Posted 2005-04-09

St. Charles, IL— In the past, hybrids have looked more like woods than irons. Unlike the popular concept of yesterday’s hybrids, the Vulcan Golf Backfires have retained much the look of an iron at address, yet provide the complete benefits of the hybrids that are shaped more like woods.

This includes the Backfire’s large radial type sole to reduce turf drag. As found in many of the better iron designs of today, the Backfire features an extra deep cavity design that enhances heel and toe balance. Like irons, the extreme perimeter weighting improves forgiveness on off center hits. The Backfires are moderately offset like many of the more popular traditionally designed irons of today. It is a marriage of technologies that produces the strongest hybrids in all of golf.

“We feel these features are important to all golfers,” said Vulcan Golf president and industry veteran Gary Hansberger. “We’ve provided a range of features that don’t appear in any other complete sets of hybrids. But, we feel we’ve taken the next step in hybrid technology by paying attention to the other facets of design for the first time.”

The Vulcan Golf R&D department realized that a hybrid is neither a wood nor an iron on another important level. The shaft stress and demands on the shaft are totally different. The Backfire utilizes technology previously held back by traditional iron heads. The lighter, more stable steel and graphite shafts deliver the ideal balance between weight and strength for a more comfortable, efficient swing. The enhanced mid-kick designs help control trajectory and ball flight. They also improve feel, launch conditions and accuracy. Moreover, they maximize every golfers preferred swing motion.

“We feel that individually, all these factors have tremendous merit,” said Hansberger. “We also believe that collectively designed into one hybrid, priced aggressively, and built with uncompromising quality, will make the Backfire a #1 seller in the market.”
