Benross Delta XT Hybrid Review
Is the Benross Delta XT hybrid worthy of a place in your bag? Sam De’Ath puts it to the test to find out

In terms of value for money, it’s tough to beat the Benross Delta XT hybrid. The looks and performance heavily out-weigh the price tag, although the acoustics of the club could do with some tuning. A versatile hybrid that looks appealing behind the ball and in the bag.

While Benross may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of golf equipment, the brand is well known for producing clubs that offer competitive value for money and so I wanted to take the Delta XT hybrid on the golf course to see if this trend would continue.
Ben Ross Delta XT Hybrid
This Benross Delta XT hybrid, like many of the best golf hybrids, looks superb both in hand and down behind the ball at address. The head shape is that of a more modern hybrid - a larger footprint and fairly deep from the face to the back edge. This is a shape that I particularly like and find it fills me with confidence compared to some smaller hybrid models.

Despite me enjoying what the Delta XT hybrid offered visually, there were a couple of other characteristics that would make me hesitant to put it in play. Firstly, the sound was extremely loud and as someone who prefers a more muted sound through impact, I struggled to ignore the loud ‘ting’ sound as I struck the ball. The feel of a golf club coincides with the sound and so the fairly harsh and crashing feel at impact was also offputting. For some, it may come across as powerful but I felt as though I couldn’t really gauge how I struck the shot due to the sensory overload.
The Ben Ross Delta XT Hybrid has a modern design
The ball flight produced by the Benross Delta XT hybrid was very playable - a high, right to left ball flight that had plenty of stopping power when landing into the fairly firm greens at North Hants Golf Club, Hampshire. The bonded hosel means you can’t adjust loft or face angle but I found it fairly easy to change the ball flight by adjusting the ball position. There are three loft options available as standard, the 20° model I tested, a 24° head and also a 28° model for golfers who are looking to replace their longer irons with hybrids.

The forgiveness of the Delta XT hybrid is helped by the rear weight port, which stretches the CG further back and promotes a nice high launch. I feel as though a lot of golfers would benefit more from one of the most forgiving hybrids and this offers this among the cost-effective, user friendly options.
For a hybrid that retails at £129, there is a lot of bang for your buck with the Benross Delta XT hybrid, not to mention the Fujikura stock shaft and Lamkin crossline grip that come with the club as standard. It doesn't have the firepower of hybrids from the tour played brands, but it isn't as far behind as your might expect and for those seeking a new, affordable hybrid - it's a compelling option, as long as you enjoy a louder sound at impact.
