PING Forged ANSER Irons

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:13:00 +0000

Now, they haven't been released officially, but word is already out as are photos all over the net of what look to be the sweetest PING irons to date. It's been a long time, dating back to the 1960s since we've seen a forged iron from the company who literally ushered all of golf into the era of cast-made irons. We're excited to see how they look, feel and perform.

When the official release is out and we give 'em a try and post a full-length review right here.

And no, they aren't "Ready To Buy" yet. Look for em later this fall.

Tiger's New Putter

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:00:00 +0000

Tell us what you think. Will a new putter help cure Tiger's putting woes?

Either way, Tiger ditched his Scott Cameron Newport 2 (a putter he has used for more than 11 years) in favor of the Nike Method putter. Which, speaking of, closely resembles the Newport 2, with exception to the putterface. The Method has "polymetal groove tech" that according to Nike, helps promote a faster, truer roll.

Tiger isn't a fan of slower greens like they have this week at St Andrews, so he made the switch to the Method (model #001, by the way) to help manage the long, sometimes ridiculously long, putts that golfers face out on those greens. The Method also happens to be the same putter Stewart Cink used last year to with the Open Championship. Hmmm...

And yes, you can buy one for about $250 bucks. See it right HERE.

Push Cart Magic

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 18:58:00 +0000

So, it was the first time I had used a push cart in a long, long time. And well, after trying one recently, I can't help but feel foolish having gone so long carrying a heavy, awkward, shirt-tearing, neck-blistering golf bag on my back...

A couple days ago I put the new Trekker TC Freestyle Push Cart into play. After what I feared would be a laborious process (I remember back when a push cart was called a pull cart and they were a pain in the rear to not only use, but to pack away in the trunk), the Trekker immediately proved itself to be a cinch to use.

Assembly: First off all, I didn't take a peek at the directions. Why? I really didn't need to. The cart unfolds and folds up in probably the easiest, most intuitive way possible. The only part that I had to think for oh, about 10 seconds, was how to fold the wheels up. But like I said, it hardly strained my thoughts. A push and click here and the cart was easily assembled, the bag was simply secured. And after the round, it was just as easy to pack away into the trunk.

Portability: There are some carts that may be a little smaller when transformed into what I call "trunk mode", but I'd be hard-pressed to find a lighter, easier-to-handle configuration. It's light, but not too light. This is a good thing because it aids in stability when you actually use it.

Stability: When using the Trekker out on the golf course, because the bag sits relatively upright I was a bit nervous the thing would tip over. Mind you, I was playing on a hilly course, the Trekker never once fell over. Don't tell, but I even let the cart "ghost ride" down a few small hills, again, with no club spills whatsoever. I'm not saying I recommend doing that, because the cart could definitely topple over if you're reckless, but under normal conditions, stability is hardly an issue.

Usability: I liked that the Trekker has not only a drink holder, but a compartment that is magnetically sealed right by the handle. It felt so secure that I stored my valuables such as my phone and keys in there (yes, the phone was off--sorta). It's more designed for a scorecard, but it's big enough to hold some goodies in there as well. (There's also a mesh pouch for bigger items.) The grip on the hand felt fine, and the adjustability of the handle up or down seemed simple enough as it worked the same way pull carts have worked for years. Loosen the handle, realign the teeth at the desired height, then tighen it down.

However, if there is one thing I would liked to have seen regarding the handle adjustablity, that'd be a better locking system. The teeth and handle are both non-metal (plastic), meaning not only did it feel less secure, I actually thought I could break it quite easily if I had tightened it too much or if I didn't have the teeth aligned properly. So, as a result there were a couple instances where the handle actually feel down because I was a bit reluctant to tighen the handle too much. A moot point by some, and no, I didn't break anything after tightening the hand a little more than I was comfortable with. Nevertheless, I think if this mechanism was metal it'd be better.

Finally, I used a carry bag with the Trekker, but I'm assuming any size bag will work will on this cart. I did have to lay my bag on it's side to get it secured, but that's because my carry bag has legs and they got in the way if I had situated the bag in the traditional way. Not a big deal.

Wheels/push-ability: It's a piece of cake to use and easy to maneuver all over the course. The wheels are large, stable and smooth. Better yet, this cart makes no noise. There are no rattles, squeaks or creaks. Ahh, that's how it should be.

Braking system: One of the best features of the Trekker TC3 is the easy to use, handlebar-style brake lever. Its right where the hands are, and it easy engages and disengages at the click of the lever or button on top of the handle (to release it). It also prevents the unwanted "Oh no, there goes my bag," situation.

Conclusion: I'll be using the Trekker again. And again. It's very well made, very intuitive and easy to use. My only gripe is the handle adjustment mechanism, but even still, that doesn't come close to deterring me from using the Trekker TC3. It really does make playing the game a lot more fun, not to mention it takes the unwanted stress off your shoulders, back and neck.

And at at $189, it's a great buy. www.trekkercaddy.com

Bubba's Driver Shaft

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 18:20:00 +0000

Been wondering what shaft Bubba Watson is using in his driver? You know, the bright pink one with the steel section towards the tip? It's actually a Grafalloy prototype that's not available to the public (yet, we hope). We suspect the steel section aids in keeping Bubba's smashing drives from ballooning, thus helping him milk out drives that regularly pass the 310-yard mark.

We can't help to be reminded of this shaft, though... It's the True Temper Bi Matrix shaft, also with a steel tip and graphite shaft. Hmmm...

NEW: Titleist AP1 Irons

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:52:00 +0000

According to the product description:

The Titleist AP1 710 Iron Set 4-GW with Steel Shafts are the essence of advanced performance with multi-material, dual cavity forged irons that provide improved feel, great looks, shot control and higher flight with forgiveness for the avid to skilled golfer. The stock shaft is the Nippon NS Pro 105T and the stock grip is the Titleist Tour Velvet.

Now, we have yet to try these irons ourselves, but if the previous AP1 irons were any indication, these irons might be the most playable forged irons (for golfers of all skill) that we've seen out of Titleist---ever. (They won't be shipping until mid-November, but pre-orders are available.)

NEW: Cobra S2 irons

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:46:00 +0000

According to Cobra,

"The new multi-material Cobra S2 Irons offer improved accuracy, distance and forgiveness in a high-performance package. The new cavity design with optimized heel-toe weighting utilizes lightweight polymer materials that allow discretionary weight to be pushed low in the heel and toe, to increase MOI. Plus, the unique Mid-Width Stepped Sole offers superior turf interaction. Cobra S2 Irons will appeal to avid golfers of all skill levels due their superior playability, feel and design."

We think they look pretty sweet, not to mention very playable. Look for them at retailers NOW.

New: TaylorMade R9 Irons

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:51:00 +0000

TaylorMade has introduced the R9 iron, designed to deliver modern performance and tremendous distance in a more classic package.

"Whereas our Burner irons deliver extraordinary distance in a modern design, the R9 irons are aimed at the technician, and so are rendered in a player's shape with a clean and conventional look," said Harry Arnett, TaylorMade's senior category director of metalwoods, irons and balls. "However, a ridiculous degree of performance-enhancing technology is packaged within each oversized clubhead. The result is an iron that's phenomenally easy to play despite its classic appearance, and extremely controllable and accurate as well."

Like the Burner irons, the new R9 long-irons and middle-irons were designed separately from the short-irons to optimize performance in each club. The result is that the 3-iron through 6-iron are extremely long and easy to hit, and the short-irons are engineered to promote great feel, control and accuracy.

Quick hits:

Velocity-Control Chamber in the Long- and Middle-irons
Each R9 long-iron and middle-iron (3- through 6-) houses a large and fully enclosed compartment positioned behind the clubface, underneath the cavity badge. Called the Velocity-Control Chamber (VCC), it makes it possible for an immense area of the ultra-thin (2.0 mm)
clubface to exist unsupported.

Deep Undercut Cavity, Broad Low-CG Sole and Heel-Toe Weighting in the Short-irons
R9 short-irons are engineered to deliver increased playability, control and feel in the scoring zone.

Beveled Sole in Every Iron Promotes Solid Contact and Playability
The sole of every R9 iron is specially beveled to reduce turf resistance, helping the bottom of the club glide through impact and apply maximum force to the ball.

New and Conforming Grooves for 2010
The R9 TP irons incorporate a new groove design that conforms to the USGA and R&A ruling that goes into affect in 2010 for high-level competition.

KBS Steel Shafts
R9 irons come equipped with KBS 90-gram steel shafts, available in S and R flexes. KBS, which is quickly growing in popularity on the PGA Tour, incorporates several new enhancements into their steel shafts to promote improved performance.

The standard set of R9 irons includes 3-iron through pitching wedge at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $999 steel and $1,249 graphite. An attack wedge and sand wedge are available separately. R9 irons become available starting on November 1, 2009.

New: Nike Machspeed Driver

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:45:00 +0000

Nike just announced that in march, the new Machspeed driver will be hitting golf shops across the US. What's new about it?

From the press release:
While consumers will have to wait for the official introduction at retail on March 1, 2010, Nike Tour athlete Justin Leonard can’t get it in his bag fast enough. After successfully testing the new SQ MACHSPEED driver, Leonard likely will be using the Nike SQ MACHSPEED for the first time in competition at The Presidents Cup from October 8–11, 2009.

“This is my new secret weapon,” said Leonard. “I am hitting it 10-12 yards further and am really excited to put it in play.”

The Nike SQ MACHSPEED driver is loaded with a combination of ground-breaking technology that was born from the minds of Nike Golf’s team of engineers. In addition to having a lower, deeper Center of Gravity (CG) for a higher launch and increased distance, the SQ MACHSPEED driver features the award winning Nike STR8-FIT technology, square technology and now, Nike’s Total Swing Aerodynamic Design.

Nike’s Total Swing Aerodynamic Design is the answer to generating more speed, resulting in more distance. Nike Golf has taken the concept of aerodynamics to a new level by looking at the golf swing holistically.

“The number one thing that makes the ball go farther is faster ball speed. We’ve accomplished that through looking at the orientation of aerodynamics throughout the total golf swing, not just a portion of the swing,” said Tom Stites, Director of Club Creation for Nike Golf. “Optimizing aerodynamics in the total golf swing pulls the clubhead and shaft through the air faster, which leads to more distance. I’ll use a parachute as an example. The wider the parachute is, the slower it comes down because air separates around the parachute and causes drag. The same thing applies to the golf club, but through geometry and Total Swing Aerodynamics, we have been able to minimize the air separation and drag.”
Availability: March 1, 2010 at golf shops and specialty stores nationwide

SQ MACHSPEED Driver

Men’s: Loft Options: 8.5 (RH); 9.5 (RH/LH); 10.5 (RH/LH); 11.5 (RH); HL (RH) All available in: A,R,S,X
MSRP: $359.99

Women’s: Loft Options: 11.5 (RH); HL (RH) All available in W (women’s) shaft.

Mizuno's new MP-58 irons

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:21:00 +0000

Mizuno has a bunch of new stuff coming out this fall and among our most favorite clubs are the new MP-58 irons.

How sweet are those? Grain-Flow Forged (a fancy term for a very concise and pure forging), and with a unique titanium-filled muscle section, the MP-58s are built for players who want the best blend of forgiveness and shotmaking capabilities.

Why titanium? It's lighter, meaning the club can get away with more mass behind the ball for a soft, buttery feel. Also, the lightweight nature of the titanium means the perimeter weighting gets magnified (as well as the MOI), making each iron much more forgiving than they would be with no insert.

Other features include a rolled leading edge/flat sole/rolled trailing edge design (for better versatility on tough lies) and modified U-grooves that conform to 2010 USGA rules.

Look for these irons to hit golf shops this fall, and look for the complete Mizuno round-up in the next issue of Golf Tips.

Triple Threat From Aldila

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:26:00 +0000

Is it getting hot in here?

Aldila's En Fuego™ Series features three innovative shaft designs each with a higher center of gravity geared toward today's modern club head designs. Each shaft in the series promotes a different ball flight, Serrano™ - a low to mid launch shaft, Wasabi™ - a mid launch shaft and Habanero™ - a mid to high launch shaft. Each model will be available in Regular, Stiff and X-stiff flexes.

"The three unique new shaft designs feature balance, weight, torque and flex properties which are all designed to maximize the energy of your swing," said Mike Rossi, Aldila's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The innovative high center of gravity of each shaft increases the performance of today's modern clubs."

Each En Fuego™ shaft will feature Aldila's revolutionary Micro Laminate Technology®, first offered in the Aldila NV™, which provides players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel. The dampening advantages of the Micro Laminate Technology have eliminated distracting and destructive "shock" for superior feel and playability.

"Aldila's En Fuego™ Series is currently being launched through leading club manufacturers in new product launches worldwide," said Rossi.
Each model in the En Fuego™ Series has a suggested retail price of $99 and will be available for purchase through leading distributors and through the Aldila store at www.aldilastore.com.

TaylorMade Penta

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:08:00 +0000

Penta, as in pentagon, as in five, get it?

We get it, but don't ask us how they did it. The folks at TaylorMade, under the watchful eye of Dean Snell and his beautiful mind, conjured up the first 5-piece golf ball.

Yeah, not one, two or even four layers. We're talkin' 5!

On the surface, its a urethane-covered ball with multiple layers that depending on how hard you swing, performs differently with the different clubs in the bag. TaylorMade claims that even the best players in the world playing the so-called best balls available have still had to make compromises, either for more distance and less spin, or more spin and less distance, more feel vs. less feel and so on. The Penta is said to be the most complete ball ever and with it's five layers, means no more having to choose one performance benefit over another.

It also means no more having to choose one premium performance ball over another from TaylorMade. Unlike past tour-inspired models lie the TP Red and TP Black, there is only one ball to choose from. Ahhh...thank you, TaylorMade.

Look for it this fall at a retailer near you.

Tiger Shark Grip Sheds Weight...

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:06:00 +0000

Tiger Shark Golf Introduces New Super Jumbo Lite Putter Grip

The latest putter grip from Tiger Shark Golf, the #1 Jumbo Putter Grips on Tour, is the lightest of any oversized putter grip on the market. At an amazing overall weight of 67 grams, the Super Jumbo Lite weighs the same as a standard sized grip at 250% the size.

The Tiger Shark R&D team said the Super Jumbo Lite was designed to be a jumbo putter grip that does not drastically affect a putter's swing weight or overall feel.

"This is one of the few light weight jumbo putter grip that will not change the feel or swing weight of a putter," said Tiger Shark President Dean Dingman. "This gives golfers the benefit of a more stable stroke while maintaining the same swing weight and overall weight of the putter."

Most jumbo grips weigh up to 270 grams, which raises the putter's swing weight significantly. With this design, the grip is able to be significantly larger than a standard sized putter grip without changing the weight, creating the largest putter grip to not drastically change the swing-weight of a putter. Tiger Shark expects this revolutionary concept to help PGA Tour players and consumers alike.

"The Super Jumbo Lite was very well received at the Buick Open, it's first week being introduced to the players," said Dingman. "With a lot of tour players looking for a bigger grip that isn't too heavy, we have created the perfect lightweight oversized grip. It eliminates your wrists from breaking down and keeps your putter head square without adding any weight to your putter."

The Tiger Shark Super Jumbo Lite putter grip is available in Black, Blue and Red and is now available for purchase at golf retail shops across the nation. To find a dealer near you, call Tiger Shark at 1-800-667-0181.

More About the Super Jumbo Lite:

The lightest jumbo grip on the market - Up to 4 times lighter than the leading competitors
USGA Approved Dimensions: Weight: 67 gm. (+/- 3 gm.), 10.75 inches long, and 1.59 inches in diameter or 40.39 mm.
Material: Proprietary Ultra-Tac Polymer that is firmer and more durable than traditional grips.
30% larger than best selling Tiger Shark UltraTac grips

Nike's new METHOD putter line

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:18:00 +0000

Nike's not-so-secret-used-twice-to-win-a-major-this-year putter line dubbed "Method" will be hitting golf shops next February....finally! (You sneaky ones can try and get a limited release model this November...)

Anyway, here's a glimpse of the press release right here:

Nike Golf Creates a Faster, Forward Roll with New METHOD Putter

- “Scientific Method” in prototype has already produced 2 majors, 5 total Tour
wins, and a lot of curiosity -

The highly anticipated introduction of Nike Golf’s new METHOD putter today satisfied the curiosity generated by the Nike Golf prototype putter that is already responsible for two major championship titles and three other Tour victories worldwide. It’s proven on the PGA Tour. It’s proven technology.

The much talked about putter also represents the emergence of yet another ground
breaking innovation from Nike Golf’s Research and Development center, The OVEN. The
Nike METHOD follows on the same game-changing trail blazed by square drivers and
adjustable drivers, which were also created and developed at Nike Golf’s Fort Worth based
facility.

Inspired by the philosophy of the “scientific method,” the OVEN’s team of designers and
engineers combined steel and polymer in multiple ways before discovering the unique
polymetal groove technology. The revolutionary and visibly distinctive polymetal groove
technology is influential in creating a faster forward roll after impact for the kind of accuracy
and consistency that is demanded by Tour professionals. While most traditional steel faced
putters start the ball with backspin causing the ball to initially bounce a little higher, the
Nike polymetal groove technology starts the ball with forward spin to minimize bounce and
keep the putts on line.

Used as a prototype putter by Nike athletes Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink when they won
the 2009 U.S. Open and The OPEN Championship, respectively, the new Nike METHOD will
officially be available in the market on February 1, 2010, with limited, special edition
quantities becoming available starting on November 1, 2009.

Since switching to the Nike METHOD, U.S. Open champion Glover’s putts-per-round ranking
has significantly improved from 116th in 2008 to T39 in 2009.

“This putter has made all of the difference in my game,” said Glover. “I attribute a lot of the
success I had at Bethpage to my putting. I give a lot of credit to Nike for coming out with
such a great product.”

Paul Casey, who was the first player to win with the Nike METHOD this year – twice on the
PGA European Tour and once on the PGA Tour -- has improved 43 spots in his putts per
round ranking.

“I fell in love with this putter the first time I putted with it,” said Casey, who first put it in
his bag last fall. “You can really feel the difference in how the ball comes off of the face and

you can see the difference in how it rolls. It’s really helped me with my confidence on the
greens.”

The Nike METHOD has a flowed-through low-durometer polymetal groove technology that
dampens impact vibrations for soft touch, while the interspersed milled steel face maintains
audible feedback for proper distance control. A multi-material face starts the ball on a
positive spin that is faster than both a milled steel putter as well as putters with a polymer
face insert.

“It’s quite rewarding to see our athletes succeed with our products,” said Tom Stites,
Director of Club Creation for Nike Golf. “We knew we had something good when we watched
how our athletes reacted to how their ball rolled after impact.”

-Yeah, we want one too...

New PING G15 and i15

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:02:00 +0000

I guess the cat's out of the bag, kinda-sorta.

It's British Open week and Ping unveiled a couple new drivers for the tour professionals to tinker with. The G15, a newer more beefy version of the G10 that launches the ball with less spin on a higher trajectory. And the i15, geared more for faster swingers has a more rounded shape and a more forward CG for more penetrating drives.

That's about all we know so far on these two new drivers, but stay tuned as more info comes out.

Rory Wins With Oversized Grip

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Tue, 26 May 2009 21:16:00 +0000

I'll be honest (when am I not?):

I watched absolutely zero golf this past weekend. While I was occupied eating (a lot) and watching metal things explode at the movies and paying tribute to those who served (I highly recommend you all visit a military base or cemetery to truly know how great their sacrifices were), Rory Sabbatini took the top honors at the Byron Nelson.

Good for him. Good for the Tour.

I know, a lot of you might not be fans of his considering he's not known for being the most cordial player on Tour. Nonetheless, he makes golf more watchable, more dramatic and dare I say, slightly cooler.

Anyway, in addition to a bag mostly made up of TaylorMade gear, Rory also used an oversized Tiger Shark Ultra-Tac Jumbo grip. The bigger grip, so they say, relaxes the hands to prevent the yips and helps golfers make better, more repeatable putting strokes.

We like that.

The ugliest travel bag on earth.

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Noll) — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:32:00 +0000

I've never understood why luggage manufacturers insist on making luggage in black, or dark blue, or dark gray. If anything, I'm a big advocate in making luggage stand out. I'd by neon green luggage if I could. I want to see my luggage from afar so I know exactly where to go once I hit the dreaded baggage claim. Louder luggage also acts a deterrent to thievery. I've had my clubs stolen once--I don't want it to happen again.

Which, leads me to my point about what is probably the ugliest golf travel bag I've seen. The one listed above is covered in some sort of artsy, unintelligible grafitti--something that's probably more equated with some rough and tough rocker's gear than would be with a set of golf clubs. Such a design makes the travel bag stand out in a hurry.

Nonetheless, the graffiti bag is made of thick, strong nylon and comes with a removable pouch. There are wheels too and a reinforced bottom and extra padding up top.

Party on and get yours HERE.
(I already did.)
