Review: TaylorMade Tour Burner

By Sean ⋅ May 30, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

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?

Review: Nike Sumo Squared 5900

By Sean ⋅ March 11, 2008 ⋅ 8 comments

Square was all the rage in 2007, with the original Sumo Squared, Callaway FT-i and various other models reaching the market. The initial buzz factor was huge as everyone seemed to love to talk about super high MOI and the ultra-forgiving nature of the square driver head. Sure there were some complaints of a loss of distance and deafening sound, quieting the square head buzz a little…However, it has been over a year now, and as far as I can tell, club designers do not sleep these days. The Nike engineers have obviously been hard at work, recently unveiling their new square driver: The Sumo Squared 5900.

Recently the people at G.R.I.P. (Golf Research in Play) sent me one of their 460cc Drivers for review. G.R.I.P. offers a full range of golf equipment from the driver down to your wedges and putter.

Last year Cleveland Golf introduced Distance Driven Geometry with the original HiBORE driver. In 2007 Cleveland Golf has improved upon the original HiBORE design with the release of the HiBORE XL driver. While last season it seemed as if Cleveland staff players were shying away from the HiBORE, the HiBORE XL is being […]

One of our readers, a concerned one at that, posted a wonderful review of the Nike Sumo Driver in the comments of my Swing Thoughts post. I thought it would be best to turn this into a post so that it could stand on its own. Here we go, thanks Concerned Reader!
Well, here […]

Review: Nike SasQuatch 460 Ti Driver

By Sean ⋅ June 7, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Club: Nike SasQuatch 460 Ti Driver
Details: Aldila NV-65 Stiff Shaft, 9.5 Degrees
The SasQuatch is certainly an interesting looking golf club. I still remember when I first saw it on TV, watching some PGA event, and thought, my god, why would anyone want to hit a golf club that looked so awful. But […]
