Taylormade Golf Introduces GAPR Distance gapping in your long game

Featuring SpeedFoam Technology, a new trio of products engineered to Fill Distance Gaps in a player's long game, has come onto the market.

TaylorMade Golf, the original creators of the rescue line of hybrids in 1999, announced the debut of GAPR, a highly innovative trio of products with unique identities and performance deliverables providing golfers with the right clubs to fill gaps in the long game.

Nearly every golfer has a gapping challenge in the long part of their set; specifically, the difficult-to-manage yardage between the longest playable iron and the shortest metalwood. With a majority of players not comfortable hitting 3, 4 and even 5 irons consistently to precise yardages or with any dependable accuracy and 5, 7 and 9 woods often difficult to control,...

ODYSSEY EXO Odyssey releases new high-MOI putter

Odyssey has just revealed a high-MOI (moment of Inertia) mallet putter line with the launch of its EXO range.

Bringing together elegant detailing and Tour-level performance with some of the finest finishes ever seen in an Odyssey Putter, the EXO line marries the on-trend red and traditional black putter look in one technology-rich package.

All three multi-piece designs take inspiration from two classic head shapes in Rossie and Number Seven and a more recent shape, the Indy, from Odyssey’s Toulon Design family.

Each head is precision-milled, with a weight-saving aluminum red section contrasting with an elegant, milled black stainless steel body that drives significant increases in MOI, pushing putter performance to new levels for all golfers.

The Blade Question Are blades going to lower your score?

We have all asked ourselves the question, and indeed have heard the ongoing debate with our Golf comrades: ‘Are blades going to lower your score? And are high and mid handicappers unable to play a blade due to the non-forgiveness of the design? I am here to tell you that that this is not true. Anyone can play a blade. See, there-I have said it... Blades might have a smaller sweet spot, punish you for an off-center shot and make you feel like your having an electrical shock on bladed/thin shots... However here is the truth: When you hit a blade with a good swing in the center of the face, you will have an epiphany, hear an orchestra in your ears, for it does not get any better than this. It is worth it.

It’s like the Forged question: Yes, forged clubs are better because they...

Test driving the latest high-tech drivers Six of the latest offerings them a whack to see what they are about

Of course it’s a cliché, but technology really can be a wonderful thing. It allows us mere mortals to pop a long drive out there like a pro, even with off-center hits, bad swings and awful technique. Technology not only makes up for our shortcomings, it can be set up to conquer those failings. It has certainly come a long way since the days of the King and the Bear, battling it out with technique and accuracy being tested on every shot with (by today’s standards) incredibly inferior equipment. Today’s drivers are no longer purely the #1 in the bag, they are sleek and sexy, they are race cars, a persona of oneself, customizable, fitted, adjustable — they can do just about everything to raise your game. We took six of the latest offerings down to the range here in Tokyo and gave them a...

Test driving the drivers Battle of the beasts!

Many golfers will tell you that getting it right off the tee is immensely important. In reality, however, this is probably more for the mentality of the player than the score making potential; shaving off shots on or around the green is the best way to really impact the final score. Plus, the increased power and different set-up of drivers brings a higher margin of error. So why, when so many things can go wrong, do so many players place great importance on having the right driver?

The simple answer is, nothing sets up the rest of the hole (and for some the round) like a solidly hit drive. It’s also more fun than playing the percentages, and let’s not forget the last, all-important reason: everyone enjoys taking out the big club and impressing his or her playing partners with a...
