2009 Taylormade Raylor Hyrbid

The forum’s and Blog’s are lit up with buzz on what could potentially be the 2009  Taylormade Raylor Hybrid.  Prototype pics are afloat on the web and mention of PGA Tour players testing it on ranges starting last week in Famingdale N.Y. Here is what Golf.com’s blog had to say about it:

 “FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Kenny Perry and Fred Funk each tried a new, unreleased prototype hybrid club as they prepared for the U.S. Open at Bethpage.

The TaylorMade Raylor has a weight screw in the low, rear area and a V-shaped leading edge. According to representatives from TaylorMade, the unique sole of the club helps it work through the rough especially well.

Perry practiced using two Raylor hybrid clubs, a 19° and a 22°, each fitted with Fujikura hybrid shafts. Funk was given a 22° Raylor and took it to an unused fairway on Bethpage’s Red Course.
TaylorMade reps didn’t know if either player would be putting the club into play during the U.S. Open, and like all other prototype pieces of equipment, there’s no guarantee that the Raylor will ever be made available to the general public”

So far it looks like it will be released to the public as they have already made it onto the USGA’s conforming list when only clubs under 13* are required to be tested.
