Over the past few months, we have had a chance to have a close look at a lot of clubs in the 2008 line of Nike golf equipment. From the Nike Sumo 5900 driver to the Nike Slingshot 4D irons, we have continually been impressed. Today we will be having a closer look at the Nike Sumo Squared Hybrids. These hybrids promise pinpoint accuracy and ample forgiveness.
Today we have a look at the first cart in our Push Cart Roundup, the Clicgear 2.0. The Clicgear 2.0 introduces a number of improvements over the previous model, most notably a super easy to use folding and unfolding system.

If you are a long time reader of The Deep Rough, you know I am absolutely in love with my B3-M Heavy Putter. Earlier this year, Heavy Putter released a new line of Deep Faced putters. The Deep Face raises the center of gravity of the putter, aligning it closer to the equator of a golf ball. This should result in more consistent strikes on the sweet spot of the putter face. So let’s have a look at the Heavy Putter C2-DF and see how it compares to the earlier generation Heavy Putters.
TaylorMade launch the new Tour Burner line of equipment earlier this Spring with a spirited marketing campaign. The Burner Bloodline website provides great detail and insight into this tour like line of equipment. Unlike the Tour Authentic line from Callaway, the Tour Burner series is not about bringing extremely high priced actual Tour equipment to the hands of the weekend golfer, but about bringing Tour like performance to the rest of us. Can a piece of equipment give us a ball flight like TaylorMade Staffer Sergio Garcia?
Buggies, trolleys, push carts…golfers from around the world have many names for these two or three wheeled devices to help lug those clubs around the course. Anyone who has pulled a two wheel cart behind them for 18 holes knows that process can be more trouble than it’s worth. The three wheeled push cart has helped transform the task from a painful experience to an easier walk in the park. Over the next week, we will be posting detailed reviews of a couple of the more popular push cart options available. Today we will have a quick look at the carts involved.

Bushnell is known for creating high quality, precision optics in a variety of sporting arenas.

For 2008, Bushnell has released an updated version of this laser rangefinder, the Tour V2. The Tour V2 is currently the smallest laser rangefinder in the marketplace, offering precise distance measurement in a very small package
We have not reviewed many golf bags here on The Deep Rough, but today we will be taking a close look at a new stand bag from Bag Boy, the Bag Boy Clip-Lok Stand Bag. This bag is fitted with a neat little system to lock your clubs in place, to reduce club chatter.
Spring has finally arrived for me! After a long winter without any golf, I finally got in 27 holes this weekend. The motivation for this early and cold round was a set of beautiful new Nike irons that have been staring at me for about 3 weeks. These impressive new clubs arrived one day and I’ve been itching to play with them since I eyed their shiny new faces with fancy yellow coloring. I initially started swinging them in the house waiting for the day when I could finally try them out and see for myself if they were as fantastic as they looked.
