Evolve Golf Tees – Epoch and Vireo-S3
Twenty years ago players probably put very little thought into what they would use to tee up their golf ball. Heck, most people today probably do not think about it. Evolve Golf has…and they have introduced two products to this arena over the past several years. As some of you may already know, Evolve Golf has made some waves by offering increased ball speed and better spin numbers to users of the Epoch performance tee. This year, Evolve Golf has created the Vireo-S3 for those golfers looking to leave a few less broken wooden tees on tee box and to infuse a little technology into their tee game. Today we will have a closer look at both of these products.
Review: Adams Idea Pro Gold Hybrid
Not too long ago we had an up close and personal look at the Idea Pro Gold Irons and today we will be checking out the Idea Pro Gold hybrids that can be purchased individually or along with the irons as a set. Adams Golf has quickly made a name for themselves over the past few years by engineering rock solid hybrids that always seem to dominate the various professional tours. The original Idea Pro hybrid was especially well regarded and has evolved into the Idea Pro Gold.
Review: Heavy Putter Mid-Weight CX2
In the past we have had a look at a couple putter offerings from Heavy Putter, the original B3-M and one from the Deep Face series, the C2-DF. We really enjoyed both putters, I even played with the B3-M for well over a year (coming from me, that’s pretty amazing!). As with just about all golf equipment, they were not without their short comings. With the release of the new Mid-Weight putter, one of my major concerns was addressed…was the Heavy Putter just ‘too’ heavy?
Review: Adams Idea Pro Gold Irons
With Tom Watson’s unbelievable run at The Open Championship behind us, many golfers are asking, what irons does a 59 year old guy play to get him into a playoff in a major at his age? Turns out that Tom Watson had been playing an early prototype of what would eventually become the Idea Pro Gold iron. However, the A-Tours are a very demanding set of irons, built specifically for Tom Watson’s needs on the course. Adams set out to turn the A-Tours into a playable set of clubs for the better amateur player, and thus became the Idea Pro Forged irons. In 2008, Adams made some changes to both the Idea Pro irons and hybrids, integrating their Boxer technology into the hybrids and making some tweaks to the irons with the input of the Adams tour players.
Getting Rid of My Slice – 50 Yards in Four Months?
Back in 2007, I was playing the best golf of my life. I had gotten myself down to a 5.9, was driving the ball well, and hitting very controlled iron shots. My natural shot was a high (what I thought was VERY high), slight draw. Late in that season, I played a round on a very windy day and really struggled to keep the ball low in the wind. If I remember right, I went from shooting in the 70s/low 80s, to a day when I was in the 90s. So I set out to try and find a way to hit a low ball off the tee. It turned out to be a huge mistake that really destroyed my golf swing for over a year.
Review: Adidas Tour360 Sport
If you know me, you know that I love my original Tour 360 golf shoes. They are super comfortable, look sharp and leave my feet feeling great even after walking 18 on a hot summer afternoon. I have worn other ‘sport’ style shoes in the past, and have generally been disappointed by one aspect or another. Usually, my socks get wet, and that is the end of my love affair with any particular golf shoe. Today we will have a look at Adidas Golf’s new Tour360 Sport golf shoe. A sporty styled golf shoe that encorporates a lot of the Tour360 technology into a more athletic looking golf shoe.
Review: Sonic Golf System-1
A couple months ago the people at Sonic Golf sent me one of their System-1 Golf Training Systems. I had heard about the acoustic golf learning system through the grapevine. It had created a lot of buzz at the PGA Merchandise Show and even made an appearance on The Haney Project. So, I was pretty anxious to get my hands on the device and see what it could do for my game. Let’s have a look!
DeepRough Hiatus
Well, it has been a little while, a bit of a Deep Rough hiatus if you will. Life has been a little crazy and The Deep Rough unfortunately took a little bit of a back seat. However, we’re back and soon will be better than ever! Look forward to a bunch of reviews over the coming days as well as a newly designed site in the near future! Thanks for sticking with us!
Review: Mizuno MP-52 Irons
If you have followed The Deep Rough over the years, you know that I am a huge fan of Mizuno irons. The first set of Mizunos I had played were the MX-23s, then I moved onto the buttery soft, absolute dream of a club, the MP-33 irons. About a year ago, I got my hands on the MP-57 irons, a set we reviewed and found to be a great combination of buttery soft feel and playable forgiveness. While not as soft as the MP-33s, they let you get away with some slightly off swings.
