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.
Review: ClimaProof Storm
Earlier this year we had a look at a couple of offerings from the major players in the Golf Jacket market: Zero Restriction and Sun-Ice. Today we will have a look at the adidas Golf ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket (wow, that is a mouthful!). This is a new offering from adidas Golf looking to compete in the ‘I want what the tour players wear when they are in the rain‘ market.
Patriot Golf Day
TaylorMade-adidas Golf Company, the world’s leading maker of metalwoods, today announced it will produce a limited number of special-edition Patriot Golf Day drivers in hopes of helping the Folds of Honor Foundation raise more than $1 million during its Patriot Golf Day fundraising event. The foundation, which provides educational scholarships to families of those who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, is the sole beneficiary of Patriot Golf Day.
Review: Bag Boy Compact 600
Not long ago we had a look at the Clicgear 2.0 Push Cart, today we follow up in the Push Cart series with a review of the Compact 600 by Bag Boy. BagBoy is a veteran in this field, with a wide variety of offerings and ample experience in providing golf gear to the masses. How does the Compact 600 stack up to current models? Let’s have a closer look and see…
Review: Nike Sumo Squared Hybrids
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.
Review: Crocs Ace Golf Shoes
Early last summer I purchased a pair of Off Road crocs, and they have rarely left my feet. They are quite possibly the most comfortable casual shoes I have ever owned. I always wear them to the golf course, and am anxious to slip them back on after walking 18 holes. When Crocs purchased Bite Shoes last year, my first thought was wow…when do I get golf spikes on my crocs?. Well, I did not have to wait long. Crocs quickly put together a golf shoe design, that is more than just spikes slapped onto the bottom of a traditional croc: the Crocs Ace.
Review: Power Blade
Everyone wants to add yards to their drive. You know you want to belt it 325 down the middle like Tiger. There are plenty of training aids out there on the market claiming they will add 5..10…25 yards to your drive, but most fall short in delivering on those promises. The problem generally is due to the fact that even with the greatest of training aids, you must put in the work with it to see results. So the challenge for a training aid designer is to create an effective tool that both shows results and is fun to use. Is the Power Blade the answer? We’ll find out!
Review: Clicgear 2.0 Cart
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. We have been using the Clicgear 2.0 for about a month now, and have put together a detailed review of these improvements and the overall performance of the cart.
Review: Heavy Putter C2-DF
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.
Review: TaylorMade Tour Burner
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?
