Here’s a video by Tom on the 775HS hybrid
The 775HS is more or less the ‘sister’ model to the 929HS fairway woods. Same color coating on the head, same high COR design, same steel properties in the head and in the hosel which allow for more customization.
The head looks very similar to me as the old Mizuno Fli-Hi CLK model, just with an ever so slightly shallower head, which I actually prefer. I think as far as head design goes, Tom nailed it.
The only possible problem is that the hosel is a 0.335 bore instead of the typical hybrid bore of 0.370. What this means is that the typical hybrid shaft on the market will not fit into the 775HS.
I personally use a Wishon Gold Tour Hybrid shaft, which I believe has now been replaced by the Wishon Black Tour hybrid shaft. The claim by Wishon is that the 0.335 shafts can increase the launch angle by as much as 4° over a 0.370 shaft bore model. I do tend to believe him given my experience as the 775HS does seem to launch higher. But, if you are insistent on a 0.370 shaft tip, you’re kind of SOL.
