Published

Batter up, Bettinardi!

Bettinardi Golf teamed up with Excel Sports Management to customize putters for seven different baseball players who have been named as 2014 MLB All-Stars.

The lucky gift-getters include Alex Gordon (Kansas City Royals), Clayton Kershaw (L.A. Dodgers), Zack Greinke (L.A. Dodgers), Freddie Freeman (Atlanta Braves), Dellin Betances (New York Yankees), Masahiro Tanaka (New York Yankees) and of course, Derek Jeter (you know what team). After announcing he’s retiring at the end of the season, Jeter is being presented farewell gifts from every baseball team in the league, so it’s fitting that he gets an awesome personalized Bettinardi putter too.

The putters are made from Double-Aged Stainless Steel (D.A.S.S.) with what the company calls a “golden flame” finish.

“Being a huge fan of baseball my whole life, I was pleased to team up with Excel Sports to make the highest end putters for some of the top baseball players in the world,” said Bob Bettinardi, President/CEO of Bettinardi Golf. “It displays our unique ability to not only produce putters for the PGA Tour, but also being able to expand and create these one-of-a-kind coveted gifts for All-Star players.”

    In addition, there is a world-famous Bronx Zoo,
    the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden, along with the breath-taking New York Aquarium.
    However, an experienced may have solutions for helping the
    room that you will have never considered. This is the option we may recommend since the containers included in the kits are
    created for Bokashi fermentation specifically and therefore are just sufficiently small
    to tuck away right into a convenient place such like a pantry or
    underneath the sink.

    When a player lands here they have to pick up a Doo-Dad
    card and pay whatever it tells them to. Cleaning
    – The outside of the garage door needs to be cleaned at least four
    times a year. You can also use Twitter to search by
    keyword as well as a amount of other functions that may help you hone in on who your target audience is.

    You need to find out about stop loss orders
    before you start investing your hard earned money inside the stock market.

    However, because of the variables that have the potential
    to acquire in the way of building a healthy portfolio, you have to wonder whether it’s
    even possible. People who are not goal setting techniques tend
    to ‘t be as successful – they stay stuck , nor achieve their
    dreams.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions 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.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
