Cloud 9 or C9 irons

Anyone confusing clone technology with old technology need look no further than the new C9 titanium irons for clarification. These are top game improvement irons with three special features.
The first is the titanium face insert. Just as with drivers, titanium’s strength and lightness compared with steel means less weight is used in the clubface. The […]

Hybrids - an introduction

One of the biggest golf equipment trends of recent times is the upsurge in interest in hybrid clubs, often also called utility or rescue clubs.
When most people talk of hybrids, they’re usually referring to plants or domestic livestock. But in golf terms, it refers to a cross between an iron and a fairway wood.
And like […]

Free woods and cheaper clubs

There’s a mini-sale going on over at the Pinemeadow Golf website right now (check the Monthly Deals link on the lefthand side of their homepage.) Seems it’s time for them to shift out some old models and make space for the new.
The biggest reduction is on the Z-On Oval Putter. The $19.95 price is half […]

Excel Strong Titanium Driver

All good things come to an end and Pinemeadow’s successful Excel driver looks a little lightweight in today’s market. But the pleasant news is…there is a successor: the Excel Strong.
This one is a modern club for those who shy away from some of the fancier designs like the Mantara or Ozzy Moto. The Excel Strong retains […]

Irons - an introduction

If you look at the types of clubs you find in a golf bag, it’s the irons that provide the biggest number of clubs. Indeed, unlike all the other clubs, they’re normally sold as a complete set, rather than individually.
These are the clubs you use when you’re anything less than around 200 yards from the […]

Power Max GX920 Hybrid

After casting an eagle eye over the GX920 irons and driver, it seems sensible to take a look at the hybrid. Especially as the sellers offer 15% off the purchase price through the month of April.
The GX920 hybrids complement the other clubs in the series in both design and style. The thin face is built […]

GX920 titanium driver

Many unusual designs now adorn the driver shelves in golf stores. But square heads and similar are not everybody’s thing. Sometimes you just want to get your hands on a club that performs like a modern driver, but without looking like it stepped out of the nearest space laboratory.
One such driver might be the new […]

Drivers - an introduction

The driver is the club designed to hit a golf ball furthest. It’s also likely to be the most expensive club in your bag. And it’s certainly the one with the largest clubhead, because that’s where manufacturers stuff all the clever technology needed to improve your chances of hitting a long, accurate shot.
Whenever you read […]

Acer XP Mantara Driver

Is it me or are golf clubs getting kind of snazzier? It was putters that led the charge away from traditional designs but drivers are close behind. Take the new Acer XP Mantara from Hireko Golf. It’s not your grandfather’s driver, that’s for sure (see the photo at the end of the article.)
According to the […]

GX920 irons

Earlier this month I had a gift certificate to spend, and most of it went on some new Power Max GX920 irons from GigaGolf. The GX920s were a bestselling clone iron through 2006, and there’s a new high trajectory version for 2007 as well. So what are they all about and what led me to […]
