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!
It’s the Sunday Driver, every week we’re going to showcase a driver you may not have seen before. This week it’s the brand new Tour Edge Exotic EX9 and EX9 Tour Driver’s.
For 2016 Mizuno have simplified things. They set out to design a very EZ (say it in an American accent) to hit driver designed for forgiveness and distance. Rather than hundreds of adjustable options they've given you a handful to make things obvious.
Callaway’s Apex Pro 16 is the most forgiving forged players iron they have ever produced. With a shape and size similar to the X forged, but with the forgiveness of the original Apex Pro’s, expect these to be filling up both tour and club bags next season.
TItleist are on a roll this year. The Pro V1 is on fire. The 915 Woods have been a massive success. And Titleist irons win a tour event seemingly every other week. The one area people don’t to think of Titleist though is forgiving mid handicap irons. Yet with the AP1, they’ve got a set of irons that combines offers shed loads of help, without looking like a chopper big bat.
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.
The Titleist 716 CB was the biggest surprise in the new Titleist range. While the MB is still a classic MB, and not professing to be anything but, the new CB has really been amped up.
In the middle of deepest darkest Connecticut – The Forest Moon of Endor, at the Foxwoods Resort – (Stop making me look up Star Wars references, grandad! – Ed), we’ve been privy to TaylorMade’s exclusive new driver launch. The M1 is coming, and we’ve got the scoop.
Srixon have launched some brand new sticks with what they call Action Mass Technology. Imagine a hammer. The heavier the head, the more force you get in the bashing.
We love our fairway woods to look simple. We don’t want any distractions at address, nor features we deem unnecessary. We want a serious golf club for getting the job done, good from the fairway and strong off the tee. This new Callaway could easily be our next three wood.
She might not be classically beautiful, but she’s designed with one purpose in mind, getting more putts in the hole.
