COBRA LONG TOM BLACK DRIVER
COBRA is going the distance and letting it fly with the Long Tom Driver, a four foot long, ultra light driver that is the ultimate weapon for jaw-dropping distance. The Long Tom has a Blackbird shaft by Grafalloy, is packed with technology and has the highest length to weight ratio of any COBRA Driver, making the Long Tom Driver a machine built for extreme distance. Shaft is Graffaloy Blackbird 50g Stiff.

ADAMS SPEEDLINE FAST 12 FAIRWAY WOOD
With an improved slot design along with a larger sweet spot and better launch conditions, the FAST 12 fairway wood delivers unsurpassed forgiveness across the entire face along with more ball speed for increased distance. It’s a superior fairway wood with unmatched performance. Shaft: ProLaunch Blue 65FW R

ODYSSEY METAL-X D.A.R.T. PUTTER
New Metal-X Putters represent the latest chapter in Odyssey’s long history of game-changing innovations. The Metal-X Insert provides the crisp feedback of a metal striking force, coupled with amazing feel. The unique face pattern generates the truest roll in golf and the ovals on the face develop a mechanical lock with the golf ball’s dimples at impact, creating friction and imparting an incredibly consistent roll for high precision distance control

IJP DESIGN ‘THE FIRST MAJOR’ PUTTER COVER & BAG
As topflight golfers turn their attentions to this year’s Masters, so has IJP Design as it launches a Limited Edition putter cover to celebrate the tournament at Augusta, Georgia. Named ‘The First Major’, the cover is the first in a series of four specially designed putter covers to mark each of this season’s Majors, some of which include Ian Poulter’s own drawings.Only 750 Limited Edition putter covers are being produced and each will have their own individually signed and numbered silver tag. Like the new IJP Design Spring/Summer 2012 collection that launched this month, the putter covers are eye-catching in design, featuring Ian Poulter’s signature and bright colours from the postal graphics, which were chosen to tie in with Ian’s recent nickname as ‘The Postman’. The covers will also come with their own protective, lined tote bag, which can be used for spare golf balls, tees or other accessories. Golfers wishing to order the limited cover can do so now for delivery in time for the Masters 2012 at £39.95 from our UK online store or $70.00 from our US online store at www.ijpdesign.com.

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a post from ‘GolferTodd’ who has turned their apartment living room into a driving range stall. ‘GolferTodd’ produced the following photo in our forums with the caption:

“To the exclusion of furniture. Bachelor life.”

And our members have been reacting to the post in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • MtlJeff: “This is amazing……When i was 28 i lived in an apartment that had my winter tires in the kitchen, i only had one plate and 1 set of knives and forks, and i cooked pasta in a witches cauldron from 1835. And i still convinced a woman to marry me. So i am all for this. In fact this is way better than what i had to offer.”
  • TiScape: “Love it Todd. Go Dodgers!!”
  • imkirby34: “Based on the view out the window, it looks like you’re on the first floor, which is probably a good thing because I’d hate to live below you, even if you have an extremely shallow AoA.  Haha.”

Best classic irons – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing classic irons. WRXer ‘DonaldDunes’ has caught the vintage club bug, and wants to know other members’ favorite iron models that “have stood the test of time or were the top performers for their day.”

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • Maine Golfer: “I love a lot of clubs but ’69 Wilson Staff’s are an all time favorite. Easy to hit in relative terms and they look amazing.”
  • Wilsonian: “No surprise from me, but the Wilson K-28 irons, specifically blades with the glide thru sole. I grew up playing Ram clubs, but got away from them as I got older. My return to vintage was with the Wilsons, and my first set of hickories were the Wilson Plus Success irons. You’ll try a lot of sets, but I think it’s a matter of what feels best in your hands, specifically your 7 iron which is the best indicator imo.”
  • Hawkeye777: “Hogan Redlines. Macgregor Nicklaus Muirfield 20th. Wilson Staff Tour Blade. Those are mine, don’t play any of them these days (no real reason to) and didn’t really “collect” them.  The Wilsons I played with for years.”

When buying used irons how much wear is too much? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing how much wear is too much wear when purchasing used irons. WRXer ‘con_mon2’ is interested in a used set of iron and kicks off the thread, asking:

“Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this! How much wear are you comfortable with?

I found a set of irons on eBay that I am very interested in buying, but they have a bit more wear than I’m comfortable with. I have attached a few pictures showing especially the wear on the sweet spot on the PW and 9 iron. Maybe you can convince me that I’m being too picky and I should just buy them? Or maybe I should be concerned about the wear? I’m not really sure. They are Ping i230s which came out in 2022 so they aren’t that old. And the seller had this to say about the condition: ‘Good: Normal wear for their age. Excellent playing condition but they have cosmetic wear on faces and soles. Sweetspot wear is visible.’

Beyond the cosmetic, I’d really like to know this: At what point do you start to worry about the grooves being so worn that they have a substantial effect on the shots you’re hitting?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • rsballer10: “The term you are looking for is “browning” and these irons have some of that going on. They are completely playable, but I’d say they’ve reached their half-life.”
  • Nessism: “Those heads are stainless steel.  The “browning” that some people reference, is really the yellow shade of the nickel layer under the chrome. When forged carbon steel heads wear through the chrome, the “brown” is RUST.  These heads will never rust. People applaud the old Ping irons as being “indestructible”.  Those heads had no chrome. These heads, even if the chrome is beginning to wear through, on one head, are miles more durable than the older unplated “indestructible” Ping’s.  And even further ahead of any forged club.”
  • phizzy30: “Hard pass for me.  I would rather get a new set of DTC irons and would be glad to spend the extra couple to few hundred.”
