Ping is not the type of manufacturer that releases model updates every six months. Their product cycle for women's clubs is more like two years, so when they launch a new set of clubs, it's Ping G25 Hybrid.
The CG position is lower and farther back in the lower-lofted hybrids and progresses slightly forward in the higher lofts to help minimize spin and prevent ballooning (common in higher- lofted hybrids). Custom engineering of the CG helps to achieve proper trajectories and creates functional distance gaps between clubs.
Given that Bethpage featured more 500-yard-plus par 4s (three) than any major championship in history, even tour players were going to be hitting a lot of long shots into Bethpage's elevated greens. Hybrids made that task easier.
"With all of our testing with tour players, the hybrids of today get a little bit more spin and a higher launch angle than a long discount ping g25 irons," says Tim Reed, vice president of research and development at Adams Golf. "So the typical hybrid is going to carry farther and stop a little sooner."
Which might explain why Vijay Singh carried three Adams hybrids—a 19-, 22- and 25-degree—and started his iron set at the 6-iron. Mike Weir also saw the value, taking out his 3-iron in favor of a 19-degree TaylorMade Rescue.
"I used it probably three or four times," said Weir after his first-round 64, noting that he hit a hybrid club into the green on three holes on which he eventually made birdie. "The club was good to me today."
