Titleist 910 D3 Driver,What a Great Driver!

I've been through the Titleist line of drivers from the 905 R, 907s, 909s, and now have a 910 D3.  The Titleist 910 D3 Driver is the smaller head.  I think the shaft is most important part of any driver, and I matched up the D3 with the RIP from Aldila. 

The head and the shaft are the mid to low flight choices and this club delivers a very strong, penetrating ball flight. This increased sweet spot provides golfers with the potential for greater distance. They have also optimized the weight distribution in the Titleist 910 D3 Driver, with a brand new head design and bezel weight at the rear end of the clubhead.

The Titleist 910 D3 Driver delivers longer distance through a technologically advanced head design with a responsive, fast face insert that creates a ball-speed area that is 10% larger than other drivers. The patented, innovative, SureFit Tour dual-angle hosel provides precise and independent loft and lie adjustments to fine tune ball flight for more accuracy and control.
 
This increased sweet spot provides golfers with the potential for greater distance. They have also optimized the weight distribution in the Titleist 910 D3 Driver, with a brand new head design and bezel weight at the rear end of the clubhead.

This weight distribution lowers the center of gravity and moves it deeper back in the clubhead, which helps to improve stability by stopping the clubhead from twisting as much at the moment of contact, especially on those off center hits, to give golfers more accuracy and control off of the tee.

This unique evolutionary technology provides golfers with the opportunity to tailor the drivers performance to match their own swing style by allowing them to individually adjust the loft and lie angle. I really like the discount golf equipment and it will stay in my bag. Don't know that I am hitting it farther, which I think is difficult to judge. I can surely say that I am hitting it more consistently than my 905R. The big improvement for me is on the mishits.

Overall, I like the look, the sound, the distance, and the trajectory. I have the 8.5 and leave it set to the standard setting for loft and lie. This is the best driver combination I have ever hit.

Solid Taylormade R11 Fairway Wood

This club is white , so I was convinced I would not like it . I have owned burners before and thought I would like the new burner more , but this club got the nod for how it feels in the hand and visually . The shaft is outstanding , what a surprise . It is not real whippy at all .

The TaylorMade R11 Fairway Wood is the latest and greatest from the makers of the No.1 drivers and woods in golf. It has new technology, like an adjustable sole that can adjust the face angle of the club, as well as the ability to adjust the launch angle, making it a truly adjustable fairway wood.

This club promotes up to 60 yards of side-to-side trajectory change and 1,000 RPM backspin change, giving you consistent power and distance. It has a new deeper face and deeper center of gravity, which produces a more penetrating flight. The white non-glare crown and black clubface will improve your game and that sleek white finish will make you the center of attention on the course and in the clubhouse.

The same as the driver, the R11 fairway metals improve upon the R9 fairways by adding Adjustable Sole Plate Technology to Flight Control Technology in a new aerodynamic steel head that promotes faster speed for more distance. The white club head did not bother me at all . Just gets dirty real easy . It launches higher than I thought it would , so time to tinker . I had it set on standard , time to lower it to see if it really helps.

I can feel the shaft load , I can feel the head through out my swing . The face is hot . It is longer and hotter than my Cally razr , and is just a solid club . Much longer than the Callaway Razor I bought a couple weeks ago . I still want to try out the Burner to see on course results .

The performance of this discount golf clubs is awesome, the ball just flies of the face and the white crown is very pleasing to the eye. The adjustable sole plate and flight control offer great adjustability. If there was one thing to be picky over it is that there are a lot of nooks and crannies for dirt and grass to get stuck it which makes the club somewhat difficult to clean.

I will say that this is an outstanding fairway wood . I am very happy with it.

Super Mizuno MX 1000 Review

The Mizuno MX 1000 are by far the most player-friendly irons ever produced by Mizuno, which has described them as ‘like cheating’ in terms of the levels of forgiveness and playability they offer.



These discount golf clubs are stronger lofted than many, but not as strongly lofted as some. I give Mizuno credit for keeping the Pitching Wedge at 44*, which, even though a full club stronger than the traditional 48* of days gone by, it is not as strong as the 42 and 43* lofts I'm seeing on many others. The trick to the distance on these is the technology of razor thin maraging steel faces attached to hollow Stainless Steel Body Frames.

There is little loss of distance or height from slight miss-hits and i found it was hard to hit a bad one off the deck. Short irons lacked a little precision, as you might expect, but the head profile inspired confidence throughout the set and will definitely appeal to those players who seek distance and forgiveness in a more compact head shape.

The MX-1000 takes distance and forgiveness as far as they can without the head size becoming offensive to the eye. The hollow body and hot metal face pushes the boundaries of R&A and USGA limits to expand the sweet spot across the face. The high launch also allows each club to have a stronger loft promoting increased distance without compromising on shot height.

Overall, these are the best "Super Game Improvement" irons to hit the market this year. The Mizuno MX-1000 irons are aimed at golfers looking for extreme levels of distance and forgiveness with a high launch angle.
Now I'm not saying you can go out there pin-seeking from 200 yards with these chunksters, swat the ball 10 yards past the hole, and have it do the magic backwards dance and back it into the cup--BUT---What I am saying, is that you can go for the middle of the green from that distance, and the ball will have a better chance of sticking.

More Surprises: Callaway X22 Irons

Today, the Callaway X22 irons bring us more surprises, and the most claasic iron set of X-series irons.

Callaway's senior engineers were scored by the weight of the new design, shifted weight to the best performance, and made the moment of inertia of X22 irons 10% higher than that of previous irons. At the same time, they maintained the original center of gravity, made the weight of the exact configuration be the margin of the head part and created a higher MOI to seek a better fault-tolerance and stability.

Callaway has starting using the VFT technology in most of its golf clubs these days. VFT stands for Variable Face Thickness and when used in irons it lowers the center of gravity creating the perfect trajectory. That perfect trajectory results in a higher launch angle in the lower irons and better control of trajectory in the shorter irons.

"More than 25 years, Callaway Golf Company has consistently developed the most advanced materials and processes, creating an equipment to adapt to changes." Callaway Golf President and CEO George Fellows said, "X22 irons are discount golf equipment. It is designed for golfers with unparalleled strength and accuracy. "

These irons have been extremely popular on the market for one year.

Best Callaway RAZR X Hybrid I've Tried

I have hit just about every hybrid, and that includes all the Callaway brand.

The Callaway RAZR X Hybrid is uncompromised performance. The RAZR X Hybrid leverages the new Zero Roll Design to help golfers hit higher and longer shots, even when struck low on the face. These inertia-driven clubs are highly playable and offer hot ball speeds so players can dial in their ideal performance.

The standard model has a club face with a Zero Roll Design, which produces higher launch angles on shots hit low on the face for greater distance and a soft landing. The tour model has less offset to enhance workability. This helps to increase the size of the sweet spot and allows for more distance off the club. 

RAZR X Hybrid (discount golf clubs) offers a faster ball speed off the face and is available in both a standard model and a tour model. The standard is built more for the mid to high handicap golfer and the tour model is built for the more skilled golfer.These hybrids are built with the standard Callaway technologies, which include the VFT technology that Callaway is using in many clubs now.

This club is the most accurate and high flying one there is. I loved it so much. I purchased the whole iron set.

Promotion Product: Mizuno JPX 800 Irons 4-9PSG

The JPX 800 is said to be the first iron to utilize Mizuno's JPX technology in the United States. Now comes the Mizuno JPX 800 Irons, which become the second one to use the JPX technology. What else? Now follow me to find out the answer.

The JPX800 delivers the magical combination of being Mizuno's most forgiving (MOI measurement) and longest (COR measurement) iron of all time. The JPX800's look from address and solidity at impact will have single figure players questioning their choice of iron.

The JPX800 achieves all this within a mid-size head which presents itself even more compactly and versatile thanks to a triple cut sole design. A progressive flow to shapely shorter irons, complete the JPX800s 'Balanced' orientation.

The visible distance gains of the JPX800 irons are achieved by combining Mizuno's HOT METAL approach - incorporating a new manufacturing process for a thinner, more uniform iron face. This HOT METAL process allows the JPX800 to hit the maximum allowable limits for energy transfer, far exceeding previous Mizuno irons.

The discount golf clubs combine Max COR technology, Hot Metal construction and an exotic pocket cavity to create the maximum allowable limits for energy transfer. The club does look slightly different than normal irons, with the sole wider and the different cavity back. With the size of the irons, golfers can feel more confident that they will make a solid strike.

The JPX-800, in fact, gained 3 mph ball speed and 7 yards total distance in head-to-head tests with MX-200 irons. Mizuno's "Hot Metal" construction is a strengthening process that leads to an extra-thin clubface and triggers hotter ball speed.

Clarke secures win with TaylorMade R11 driver

Darren Clarke took advantage of a final-round collapse from Englishman Chris Wood at the Iberdrola Open to claim his first Tour title since 2008.

TaylorMade staffer Clarke, last year's Ryder Cup vice-captain, fired a one-under-par 69 in Mallorca on Sunday to win by three shots from Wood, who could only manage a 76.

The Northern Irishman was using TaylorMade's much-talked-about new Taylormade R11 driver, as well as TaylorMade's TP MB irons which performed admirably in our recent test.

Clarke was looking good at the turn on Sunday, with a solitary birdie and eight pars giving him a six-under-par total.

But he found water on the 11th to drop back to four-under, before birdies on the 14th and 15th saw him climb the leaderboard.

In addition to the driver and irons, Clarke was also using three xFT wedges and the world's first five-piece golf ball in the PENTA TP.

Titleist Scotty Cameron Circa 62 No. 3 Putters Review

I've played most of the season with a #3 and while I've tried others because of the maintenance issue, I keep coming back to it. It works for me.

I appreciate high-MOI putters for the way they minimize the loss of distance and accuracy on off-center hits. But I always struggle with distance control with such high-tech implements. The Titleist Scotty Cameron Circa 62 No. 3 Putter was totally intuitive on all kinds of greens. While I didn't exactly drain miles of putts with it, I also left myself a lot of easy tap-ins for second putts thanks to the excellent distance control.

To really be my dream putter, I'd need to make some modifications to the Circa 62 No. 3. First, I'd need for there to be a sturdier finish. Second, I'd want the topline to be misted or similarly treated to cut down on glare on sunny days. Third, I'd want the option of being able to order a shorter length with a heavier head.

My only quibble with the feel was that the Circa 62 No. 3 (discount golf equipment) felt a little light in the head to me. And it only comes in a 35" version, so if I wanted to cut it down an inch or two, I'd end up with an even lighter putter (you can't put lead tape on a putter this pretty; that'd be like putting duct tape on a Porsche). But the more I used it, the more comfortable I became with the putter - especially on fast greens.

In addition to its old school design esthetic, the Circa 62 line also has a classic performance style. If you're looking for a high-MOI putter that will make up for a shaky putting stroke, you shouldn't be looking at the Circa 62s. These are not high-tech, space-age corrective designs like Cameron's Futura models. The Circa 62s are for people who appreciate a putter that gives them solid feel, reliable distance control and a simple look.


The fact is that the Circa 62 No. 3 is a solid putter that looks great. I'm of the belief that 90 percent of putting is confidence (and the other 10 percent is pretty much luck). If you love classic-looking milled blade putters, you're going to use on every hole, then you're likely to find the Circa 62 line to be worth the price.

Titleist Putter: Circa 62 Model No.3 & Studio Select Laguna 2

Recently, titleist company release two putters. Today let me tell you some information about them.

First is Titleist Scotty Cameron Circa 62 Model No.3 Putter. Inspired by the classics and crafted for performance, the Titleist scotty cameron circa 62 model No.3 putter line rolled out in 2007 with several upgrades and a brand new model. While staying true to the timeless styling of this classic milled putter line, Scotty added a rust-resistant, virtually maintenance-free Charcoal Mist finish to the soft carbon steel putter head of scotty cameron circa 62 model No.3 putter.

The performance-engineered Titleist scotty cameron circa 62 model No.3 putter has been Tour-tested for optimum grip weight, headweight, and shaft flex to be truly balanced at 35 inches. Red and white paintfill matches the red headcover and shaftband. The entire Circa 62 line features the Tour-inspired Red Baby T grip for a high performance look and feel suited to the finest players in the world.

Second is Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Laguna 2 Putter. Studio Select H putters feature a heavier head (+10g) to provide a heavier feel preferred by some players. With the addition of Studio Select H, available in 34" and 35", the Scotty Cameron Studio Select line can now be fully customized for length, weight, lie angle and grip type. Studio Select H models are custom built at Titleist and are differentiated by a special Circle H shaft band.

The improved high toe profile of Studio Select helps eliminate the tendency to raise the toe at address thereby causing the player to aim left of target. Studio Select also features a stepless shaft for a clean look at address and soft but solid feel, as well as a new red Cameron cord grip.

Not only are these new discount golf clubs easy to care for, but the misted finish also knocks down sun glare for added confidence on the green. The draft sole design and high toe profile aid in proper alignment for putters that set up perfectly at address.

Popular Mizuno MP-68 Irons

A few years ago, I sold a set of Mizuno MP-68 Irons and have been ruing the decision pretty much ever since. At the time, I thought I'd found a better fitting set for my game (plus, newer clubs are always better. Right?). Unfortunately, I haven't found an iron with that same sweet feel.

For the last several years pre release Mizuno head only sets have popped up far before the official release date. They look perfect to the untrained eye but when put on the scale the head weights are off and the hosel size often appears to be over or undersized.  This has been the unfortunate case for many of Mizuno's MP models in recent years but its a consistent pattern.

When it comes to selecting discount golf clubs, some introspection is in order. If practice is not part of your golf experience and you just want to play a weekend round from time to time, perhaps a game improvement or even max game improvement iron is the way to go.

But if you are trying to get better or if you just enjoy hitting draws and fades to get around the course, there is no reason to deny yourself those experiences. It may cost you a stroke here and there, but they also might help you improve and being able to work the ball around trouble can come in handy from time to time.

In conclusion, the MP-68s let you know where you are making contact, and reward strikes on the sweet spot with that buttery forged Mizuno feel. The fact that you don't have to be absolutely dead solid perfect to experience it and get optimal results from the club was unexpected and welcome.
