Review: PING i15 Irons

By Sean ⋅ October 15, 2009 ⋅ 21 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.

Recycled Golf Balls – KnetGolf Delivers

By Sean ⋅ September 17, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

I don’t know about you, but when I think about recycled golf balls, I think about the little kid on the side of the 12th hole selling a dozen random, chewed up, mismatched golf balls for a buck. However, given today’s economic climate, more and more golfers are finding it difficult to spend $5 a ball for new premium golf balls like Titleist ProV1s. So for those of us who do not want to spend that kind of money, but still want the $5 performance, we have to look to alternatives. KnetGolf is in the business of selling recycled golf balls, and by all indications, they do a damn fine job of it.

Golfing at Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island

By Sean ⋅ September 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

My wife’s birthday is in Mid-August and we decided to go on a little 4 day golf getaway to celebrate. Yes, I am lucky enough to be married to someone who loves golf nearly as much as I do! We had a few golf destinations in mind, but ultimately decided on Hilton Head as it is a pretty short flight from New Jersey and had some great deals. Some might think, South Carolina in August, are you crazy? Well, yeah, it was in the mid 80s…not so bad, but the humidity was insane. And here I thought it got humid in New Jersey…yeah right…when they say 100% humidity..they mean it.

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.

Review: Adidas Tour360 Sport

By Sean ⋅ July 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

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

By Sean ⋅ June 25, 2009 ⋅ One comment

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!
