Ping irons tend to be chunky. It’s not a criticism, just a statement of fact. They’re engineered, and if forgiveness come from them being chunky then so be it. With the new G irons though, these look much slicker. In fact, they look positively attractive. A wolf in sheep clothing, or in this case a G in I clothing.
It’s not an iron. It’s definitely not a wood. It’s not a hybrid, and it’s 100% not a driving iron. It’s the new Ping G Crossover, and they feel it’s a club totally in it’s own category. What we know is it’s easy to hit. Well it is, unless you edit a popular golf website (don’t know what you mean-Ed).
We all aspire to a bespoke tailored Saville Row suit, or a pair of handmade shoes. Some of us might have dabbled with Nike ID, miadidas, or most likely as golfers, with a pair of FootJoy MyJoys.

PGE, parent company to Vega have just launched the Custom Shop, where you can arguably get the most bespoke golf clubs on the market.
It’s the beginning of the year, and all the club launches are coming on strong. Wilson Staff are coming to the party with their new C200 iron designed to improve distance and accuracy.
We spoke to Jeffrey Crouch, Senior Technical Fellow, Flight Sciences, Boeing Commercial Airplanes (now try saying that quickly-Ed) about how they helped improve Callaway's latest XR16 Drivers. We don't claim to understand everything he says either!
Cobra have launched the King Forged Tec Iron this year, and it's unlike anything the brand have released before. With it forged body, and multi material design, it's forgiving, feels great, and it's forged but with loads of science built in.
The Nike Vapour Flex 440 is the most adjustable driver Nike have made, with it’s FlexFlight weight cartridge, spin can be increased or decreased as desired. Let’s call this model the Baddest Blue Meanie!
Already in play on tour, this time round Nike have only felt the need to produce one fairway wood. Let’s call this model the Little Blue Meanie!
Nike set out to create a set of irons that launch the ball higher and farther, with forgiveness but more workability than a traditional game-improvement iron.
We were lucky enough to sample all of the new Cobra Golf clubs for next year, and we’re pretty sure a lot of you will be playing Cobra’s F6 Irons next season.
Don't wait until Christmas Eve to get your presents sorted, save the stress and use the time for a pre Christmas pint. We've got something for everyone with pressies for every budget.
Wilson Staff have launched what they claim to be the softest Urethane covered ball on the market. Urethane is the material used on most tour balls, such as the Titleist Pro V1, and is used because of the extra spin it generates.
