[ad_1] You might think that all metalwoods are designed to do the same thing: launch it high with low spin. In a way they are, but they go about it in different ways. The newest metalwoods target certain types of swings: (1) big hitters who need shots to launch with less spin; (2) slower swingers […]

[ad_1] Players who need the game-improvement trifecta of high launch, distance and forgiveness want irons that don’t trade on those characteristics. They want ultra-forgiving sets that maximize distance with oversize shapes or even hollow heads.

[ad_1] The new Callaway X-Forged irons may strike many single-piece forged design fans as, well, strikingly similar to a Callaway forged iron from earlier this decade. There’s a reason for that: It’s supposed to. The new Callaway X-Forged iron took as its template the popular Callaway X-Forged model from 2013, an iron that’s still in

[ad_1] The new Scotty Cameron Custom Shop Creator makes real—well virtually real anyway—a process that in most ways was left to your imagination. Everyone knows that a Scotty Cameron custom putter has held a special place in the cathedral of most-prized golf clubs, both for collectors and for those who actually play golf with them.

[ad_1] The tour is often an incubator for ideas, particularly when it comes to putters. Players will ask for certain types of putters or certain sightlines or, well, pretty much anything. Bettinardi’s latest limited-run putter—the Antidote—was born out of such inspiration. Originally produced as tour prototypes, the Antidote series includes three head shapes made from

[ad_1] The Wilson Duo has been setting the standard for low-compression two-piece balls since its first full year on the market five years ago, but the challenge always has been how to make something soft and fast at the same time. Because when it comes to golf balls soft often gets in the way of

[ad_1] The Ping Craz-E, easily the company’s most iconic mallet putter shape for the last decade-plus, gets its latest update by joining the offerings in the Sigma G line of putters. Introduced today, the Sigma G Craz-E, one of 18 total models in the Sigma G line, incorporates the perimeter weighting and extended center aiming

[ad_1] The KBS Max 80 may be a bit of a departure for an iron shaft company known for developing steel shafts for stronger players looking to control the flight of their shots, but it continues the company’s trend of developing shafts based on player type. “The individuals that need more spin, there’s a product

[ad_1] Fujikura’s Speeder Evolution IV, the latest shaft to build on the Speeder platform introduced in the late 1990s, offers a new feel for better players looking for a low-launch, low-spin shaft option.

[ad_1] Project X’s EvenFlow shaft, which has been among the top-played shafts on the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour this season since being introduced earlier this year, is now ready for consumer use.

[ad_1] If you were wondering why PXG might have failed to win its request for a temporary restraining order banning the sale of TaylorMade’s P790 irons, there are some powerful—and sort of funny—words from TaylorMade’s recently released legal filings from last week that not surprisingly make the case the P790 irons do anything but infringe

[ad_1] TaylorMade’s new TP Red putter line is hoping it gets the same boost to success when its top staff players first began putting with a distinctive red model back in May of 2016. Led by Jason Day’s rise to No. 1 while using a Spider Tour mallet modeled after the coloring on the redback

[ad_1] The hardest clubs to design in golf? You’re looking at them. These irons have the classic compact shape that better players prefer, but with technology for forgiveness (multiple materials) and distance (thin-face inserts) that make them playable for the rest of us. This marriage of old and new technology has caught the attention of

[ad_1] The putter has been perceived as equipment’s technological holdout. For years, golfers were reluctant to embrace innovation in the club they used most. That has changed. Physics give mallets an advantage over blade-style putters in forgiveness, stability and alignment, and tour pros have made them cool. More than half of the top 50 players

[ad_1] Tour Edge’s Exotics CBX line of clubs, which have included low-spin, compact fairway woods, hybrids and driving irons, added two more models to the family today that will appeal to better players and those wanting to play the clubs those players use.

[ad_1] Golf Datatech’s Golf Product Attitudes and Usage study may be the most definitive demographic portrait of the U.S. golf consumer.
