Titleist are known as the serious brand for serious golfers. And golfers don't get any more serious than if they are using a set of muscle back blades. In an ideal world I'd be good enough to play the Titleist 716 MB. Seriously just look at it. It's stunning. But reality hits for most of us, as soon as we miss the tiny sweetspot.
If the MB is the Titleist iron we want to play while the the forgiving AP1 is the club that most of us should be playing, then the AP2 is the club that most likely we will be playing. It’s a pocket rocket of a golf club, with loads of technology packed in to a classic looking iron.
So we’ve hit the M1 driver, raved about the fairway wood, and now we get to the hybrid. TaylorMade invented the Rescue/Hybrid category but the last few years have seen Callaway, Ping, and Titleist hybrids become much more popular, while TaylorMade’s sister company Adams has dominated in tour use.
The Solheim Cup is, without doubt, the biggest event on the Women’s Golf Calendar. However the debate about whether Women’s golf is doing enough to inspire young girls to get some clubs and head to the range remains shadowed by a large grey cloud that looms heavily over the game. But there are a standout few, who are flying the flag for women’s golf high above that thick grey cloud
We’ll start our round up of today’s play at the BMW at Conway Farms GG, Illinois with a look at the top of the table. But we think there is a lot of drama that’s lurking further down the leader board.
We flew around the world to try the new TaylorMade M1 driver. And the carbon and titanium big stick is one of the best feeling longest and definitely most adjustable drivers we have hit in a long time. Yet it was the three wood we were most impressed with.
Lexi Thompson is right in the mix, one shot ahead of Lydia Ko, and one behind the South Korean leader Lee Mi-Hyang. This is our wrap on moving day at the Evian Championship, the fifth and last women's Major of 2015.
The every day stuff that's been floating and sinking our boats this week...
The Russian Open was the first week for tour players to score Ryder cup points. Yet if Lee Slattery, David Horsey, Pablo Martin Benavides or James Heath make the final 12 we will eat our hats and then apologise profusely to them. Here are our tips as to which rookies will make the team at Hazeltine in 2016.
On a rain interrupted Day 3 at the Russian Open it was the Lee's who came out on top, defeating the weather to produce some spellbinding golf. That's Lee Slattery and Craig Lee.
Today was as much about who was hot as who was not. Jordan fell into the latter category, so he’ll be resting again on Sunday and Monday’s Labor Day finish. And as for Rory? Well, read on.
We love carrying a golf bag. Even though we're constantly told carrying is bad for our backs, and that everyone should use a trolley, you don't feel like a real man if you're not carrying your golf bag. It's generally quicker too, not having to go down out of the way paths, and maneuver around greens. And we support anything that keeps the game quick. So hat's off to Ogio for their Shoxx X4 Suspension straps that take the strain off when carrying.
