Square drivers: what’s the story?

One of the year’s big equipment stories is the square driver. But what exactly are square drivers and why would you want to buy one? Here’s a simple overview of the issues.
Until recently, drivers were all about distance. Golfers like to see the ball fly off the tee into the middle distance. But the ruling […]

Clone golf clubs with movable weights

For a long time, golfers were faced with a one-size fits all approach to golf club design. You bought your driver and that was that. If the balance fitted your swing eccentricities, then great. If not, there was no changing things around.
Then Taylor Made came out with the now-famous r7 quad in 2004.
This driver had […]

Acer Mantara Fairway Woods

Center Cut mod. 14 ion putter

I can’t putt. I get nervous when there’s a putter in the room. I really need modern putter design to help me out with a bit of stability.
So credit card in hand, I popped over last month to my usual clone golf supplier (GigaGolf) and ordered a couple of their new Center Cut putters. The […]

Excel High Launch Plus Hybrid Set

If you want a smooth transition between all the clubs in your iron set, but aren’t keen on those longer irons, then a hybrid set might be the answer.
A hybrid iron set features hybrid clubs instead of your typical 3-, 4- and/or 5-irons, and “normal” irons for the 6-iron and up. You could simply buy […]

They keep sending me coupons, I keep telling you about them. This month, my favorite golf retailer is offering 15% off a solid driver, a putter and lady irons. You can pick up the coupons here.
The discount applies to three clubs…
The first is the GX920 460cc titanium driver. I took a look at this a few weeks […]

Excel Strong irons

The change of guard continues at Pinemeadow Golf as the popular Excel irons make way for the successor model: the Excel Strong. The irons share their name with a new driver and fairway wood.
An early peek suggests the irons are all-rounders. Neither a classic blade or a chunky beginner’s club, the modern design aims at […]
