The Apex Pro is a simple hybrid for the better player. In a world where everything is built for distance, and adjustability, Callaway have bucked the trend with a hybrid that is built for consistency for the good golfer.
TaylorMade's PGA Tour Truck is like a rolling BatCave for golf geeks, full of the latest shiny sticks, and latest golf gizmo's. You could even call it the golf Tardis, as it actually is bigger on the inside than the outside, at least it is when it pushes its walls out when stationary. However you want to think of it though, it's bloody cool.
Callaway’s Apex irons were one of the big success stories over the last couple of seasons. We all want more help, but we don’t want to use chopper big bats. The Apex felt great, and the ball flew miles, without looking like a garden rake. The Apex CF16 is their update.
Jordan Spieth missd the cut at the first two event's in the FedExCup playoffs, but he didn't let that stop him. Going back back to his old Titleist 714 AP2 irons, Jordan finished 13th last week, and won the Tour Championship this week to win the FedExCup and the $10 Million bonus.
TItleist are on a roll this year. The Pro V1 is on fire. The 915 Woods have been a massive success. And Titleist irons win a tour event seemingly every other week. The one area people don’t to think of Titleist though is forgiving mid handicap irons. Yet with the AP1, they’ve got a set of irons that combines offers shed loads of help, without looking like a chopper big bat.
So we've all seen the TaylorMade M1 Driver now. We've hit it, it looks great, and Jason Day crushed it in winning the BMW Championship. But how does it work? We got under the bonnet of the new M1 driver when we caught up with Benoit Vincent, head of TaylorMade's R&D department.
So we’ve hit the M1 driver, raved about the fairway wood, and now we get to the hybrid. TaylorMade invented the Rescue/Hybrid category but the last few years have seen Callaway, Ping, and Titleist hybrids become much more popular, while TaylorMade’s sister company Adams has dominated in tour use.
Tour Edge Exotics are the best metal woods you may never have heard of. This small company from the outskirts of Chicago, know some secrets that only they seem to be in on that leads to very easy hit, silly long fairways and hybrids. Here is the latest, the EX9 Hybrid.
Jason Day has been putting the lights out with his custom Taylormade Itsy Bitsy Spider this season. If you watched The Barclays he holed a couple of monsters, including walking in this beauty...
Tour Edge Exotics fairway woods have long been recogised as being some of the longest in the game. They are absolute ball belters, they have never skimped by trying to hit a price point. These are golf clubs designed with no limits in place. Never paying for tour usage, their fairwaywoods can still be found in the bags of some of the best players in the game on the PGA Tour.
Anyone who watched The Barclays will realise Jason Day is playing golf on a different planet to everyone else at the moment. He is absolutely munching his TaylorMade R15 460 driver off the tee, while his Spider proto putter was holing putts for fun, with a 29ft, and 33ft putts made in his final round.
Rickie Fowler has had a big hand in creating Cobra's new forged irons. We're not just talking about the orange paint either. These clubs scream Rickie, and demonstrates what he likes to see in a golf club.
