PGA Merchandise Show 2010

By Sean ⋅ January 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I was hoping to make it down to Orlando or the big PGA Merchandise Show starting today, received my media credentials and all. But alas, the ‘real life’ work schedule unfortunately gets in the way. If you are unfamiliar with the PGA Merchandise Show, it is a show where companies in the golf space come to pitch their wares to PGA professionals around the country. Tons of new products are always introduced at this event and we hope to bring you some information about those releases.

Golf Gift Guide and Contest

By Sean ⋅ December 7, 2009 ⋅ 29 comments

We have done holiday gift guides in the past and focused on larger, more expensive golf items. This year we will touch on some of those, but will primarily focus on smaller gifts and stocking stuffers. So if you are not sure what to get that golfer in your life, hopefully we can help make that decision a little easier for you. If you have other gift ideas you would like to mention, feel free to let us know in the comments after the article! Be sure to read the entire article (or at least the last paragraph!) as we have a little contest for you

Review: Ping G15 Driver

By Sean ⋅ November 18, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Another day, another PING review! So we recently had a look at the PING i15 Irons and the PING g15 hybrid. Today we are going to have a look at the big dog of the bag, the PING G15 Driver. I have seen a lot of G5 and G10 drivers in the bags of random playing partners over the years, and have been looking forward to getting my hands on a G15 driver for quite a while now. As always, we will start with a little background information and club specifications and then get on to the detailed review. Enjoy!

Review: Ping G15 Hybrid

By Sean ⋅ November 13, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Today we are going to have a look at the PING G15 Hybrid. We recently fell in love with the i15 irons from PING and were excited to check out the newly designed hybrid offering from PING. We figured we would first have a look at the more forgiving G series of hybrid, as well…if we are bagging a hybrid, we want something that will be easier to hit than the 3 iron we had been playing, right? So, as always, a little background info about the clubs and then on to our thoughts on this new hybrid.

Review: PING i15 Irons

By Sean ⋅ October 15, 2009 ⋅ 16 comments

Now, in 2009, PING has released the 15 line of clubs, including new i15 and G15 irons. It seems PING has listened to the feedback from their loyal customers and made some welcomed changes to the i15 line. Today we will have a closer look at the i15 irons. Over the next few weeks we will also be having a look at some of the other clubs in this new 15 line.

How to Save Money on Irons – Buy Used!

By Sean ⋅ September 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In the current economic climate, we’re all looking to save a buck wherever we can. The days of being carefree with our cash are in the rear view mirror. Do we really need to be shelling out $1000 for a set of irons today? Are the latest and greatest sets today worth the huge jump in price over irons released only a couple years ago? We will leave that up to you to decide, but today we will have a look back at some irons we reviewed in the past and give you some current pricing information. We think a lot of these sets offer an amazing value and a ton of technology. If you are playing a set of clubs that really need to be replaced, but have been hesitant to pull the trigger based on the cost of a new set…this might be a good option for you.

Evolve Golf Tees – Epoch and Vireo-S3

By Sean ⋅ August 31, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

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

By Sean ⋅ August 27, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

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

By Sean ⋅ August 25, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

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

By Sean ⋅ July 22, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

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.
