Wow! Astonishing Titleist 910F fairway wood

I bought this club last week, took it out for a spin on Sunday in my club. A bit scared to use it for fear of idiot marks due to the shallow crown (to whit - my OCD personality). However, after babying the club for the first 8 holes I got to the monster par 4 9th (400mtrs ++). Hit a scorcher of a drive for severely uphill hole in 4 degrees celsius.

The Titleist 910F Fairway Wood metals deliver total performance with improvements in flight, fit, looks, feel and sound. The Titleist 910F delivers versatile, all-around performance from the tee or turf. Its thin crown and high performance weighting create a low and deep CG for easier launch off the turf.

Then second shot from 180 metres hit the fairway wood to an uphill green and came 2 metres short of the green. Dropped a ball in the same spot and tried again - same penetrating ball flight - rocketed with avery slight draw toward the front of a heavily contoured green and came within 10 metres of the hole. I never hit that green in 2 before. Needless to say - I fell in love and started singing to myself about my new mistress.

Titleist 910 fairway metals are available in two models that provide distinct performance. The 910F is a versatile, maximum forgiveness fairway metal designed for outstanding performance from the turf or tee. The 910F features a pear shaped head design with a deep CG for easier launch off the turf and straighter more consistent ball flight.

Titleist's latest fairway wood showcases the same adjustable technology found in its 910D series drivers. The "SureFit Tour" hosel with "dual angle technology" enables you to adjust loft and lie independently of each other, so you can alter loft without affecting lie, or vice versa.

And its patented, SureFit Tour, dual-angle hosel technology provides the ability to make precise, independent loft and lie adjustments to fine-tune ball flight for more distance and accuracy. The payoff: It's so simple to custom-fit this cheap golf clubs to your desired trajectory (high, medium or low), spin rate, and shot shape (fade or draw).

Simply put - the best fairway wood I have used to date, with a lovely balanced shaft (75 gram stiff Diamana)and beautiful, elegant head shape. I really don't think Titleist can be matched across it's range. Everything they delivery is pure and utter class - and they just keep getting better.

Introducing the PING G20 family

We all saw Tom Lewis bounding down the fairways of Royal St George’s with his PING emblazoned cap and bag – and the GM inbox was inundated with requests to know what he was using.

Well, we answered it in the way of an In the Bag article – and now, on the strength of Tour players’ enthusiasm for the new family and Anser Milled putters, PING have launched the G20 range to the public. Headline act? The G20 driver (left), already in the bag of Bubba Watson, Ángel Cabrera and Miguel Angel Jimenez.

“There’s a lot of new technology in the entire G20 family,” said PING chairman and CEO John Solheim.

“Our engineers optimised the clubs to fit and benefit golfers of all skill levels.

“In the driver, we’re using for the first time a titanium alloy called Ti 8-1-1, which allows us to improve the weighting to better optimise the entire clubhead. When combined with our new, proprietary high-balance-point shaft, our testing shows significant improvements in energy transfer, which leads to longer, straighter drives.

“The irons are more forgiving and feature a cavity design that includes an elastomer badge for improved feel. The fairway woods and hybrids offer golfers high-launching, forgiving options from all conditions.”
But it's not all about the G20. Also new to the family are the Anser wedge, Anser Milled putters and Sydney putter. Various Anser Milled putters – seven models in all – are in the bags of PING pros Hunter Mahan, Angel Cabrera, Lee Westwood, Louis Oosthuizen, Heath Slocum and others. With the Anser Milled Series, PING updates the original Anser design of company founder Karsten Solheim.

The new designs, all precision-milled from 303 stainless steel, offer various hosel configurations to match specific stroke types and feature intricate design details to build upon the performance that has contributed to more than 500 tour wins and 26 major victories since 1966.

PING have also introduced its ‘Fit for Stroke’ putter fitting concept. Every PING putter is balanced to fit a stroke type: straight, slight arc or strong arc. Each putter will include a shaft label indicating its matching stroke type.

Extensive player and robot testing have offered overwhelming proof that when a golfer’s putter balance matches their stroke type, their consistency improves and they make more putts.

Wait Worth It For Downes Crediton Duo

Downes Crediton's Barry Austin and Tony Cockayne booked a trip to Turkey in the Lombard Challenge, a PGA Pro-Captain Tournament, West Region qualifier at Woodbury Park - but admitted they were left sweating on the final result.

The Devon pair shot a 10 under par round of 62 to top the leaderboard but they ended the day with a double bogey and wondered if they had missed their chance at the Exeter venue.

Even with their slip at the 18th hole though, they still managed to finish two shots ahead of Worcestershire Golf Club's Richard Lewis and Andy Davis, and Gary Milne and Paul Smale from Exeter Golf & Country Club.

Austin and Cockayne's display was enough to earn them a place in the £25,000 final which will be held at Antalya Golf Club's PGA Sultan Course from November 25-26.

PGA professional Austin said: "We went out early and were doing well, but when you end with a double bogey you wonder if it's going be a case of 'if only'.

"Our back nine wasn't so good so I thought that if someone tied with us then they would win on countback.

"We went home and came back later but we'd done enough to win as it turned out. But we knew our score could have been even better.

"Tony and I have been playing a lot of pro-captain events recently and doing well so it was good to win.

"And the venue is fantastic. I've played there before in the PGA National Pro-Am Championship so I know we're going to be well looked after.

"I'm chuffed to get to the final and so is Tony."

Lewis not ready for the millions... yet!

Tom Lewis edged out American Peter Uihlein to win the Silver Medal at The Open Championship by three strokes – but the 20-year-old has admitted he’s not ready to turn pro just yet.

The highly-promising Hertfordshire amateur followed up his open rounds of 65, 74 and 76 to add another 74 and finish at 9-over – a tie for 30th place.
“It has been an amazing Open for me,” said the Welwyn Garden City resident. “The first day was wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for more.
“It’s just a shame the last three days that I haven’t played anywhere near as well as I’d hoped.

“After the first round, I thought of possibly turning pro and becoming a millionaire. But that’s not going to happen now. I’ve got things to learn, as I’ve lost by about 20 shots this week.
“I feel like I’m ready in certain areas, but playing with Phil Mickelson on Saturday made me feel terrible around the greens. If you’re going to play with the best players in the world, you have to chip and putt like they do.

“Hopefully I can just play well in the coming weeks and we’ll see what happens.
“I’d love to play in the Walker Cup in September. I’ve made every team possible as an amateur, so Walker Cup would be excellent.”

After two days in the presence of the legend after whom he was named, Tom Watson, Lewis had the honour of playing alongside another of the game’s greats in Mickelson.
And while he struggled in the worst of the weekend’s weather, Lewis was not to be outdone in the race for the coveted Silver Medal – aided by a wonderful driver, 9-iron, 35-foot putt eagle at 7.

“I was just happy to play Mizuno JPX AD Irons with Tom Watson and Henrik Stenson, and Phil Mickelson too,” he concluded. “And I hope I can maybe one day come back and win.”
Lewis won Europe's premier amateur strokeplay event - the St Andrews Links Trophy - in June before receiving congratulations from fellow Welwyn Garden City Golf Club member Sir Nick Faldo.

Scotty Cameron Circa 62 Putter Review

The Scotty Cameron Circa 62 line of putters, made by Titleist, consists of five models: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 6 and No. 7. Each club comes with 4 degrees of loft, 330-gram head weight and a 71-degree lie.

The head is made of carbon steel with a precision-milled face and a mist finish to reduce glare. Each Circa 62 is stocked with a signature Cameron Red Baby T grip on a standard 35-inch shaft. Lefthanded clubs are available in the No. 2 model only.

And the Scotty Cameron Circa 62 putter offers soft feel and true rolls. The ball comes off the face quickly and gives true feedback, especially on off-centered putts. The grips are comfortable and stay positioned in the hands throughout the stroke. The 62s set up nicely and are sleek, simple-looking putters. Especially notable are the soft, mist finishes, which are easy to look at during strokes.

The Circa 62 line has few drawbacks. However, the putters have a tendency of feeling a bit light, making them a bit unreliable for those with shaky putting strokes. The No. 6 and No. 7 models, being face-balanced, slightly make up for this flaw.

At around $300, the Cameron Circa 62 is worth the price tag. Therefore, if you are willing to buy golf clubs, it is right. Moreover, it is at the top of its game with quality, reputation and reliability. Each model produces true rolls, great distance control and honest feedback, despite its seemingly light feel.

Reagan Kennedy quietly makes ace & Ping G20 Hybrid

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Six-year-old golfer Reagan Kennedy sank a hole-in-one on a course in central Illinois and hardly made a peep. Why so calm? Her father had told her not to make a lot of noise while playing.

But 13-year-old Cheyenne Broquard said she told her younger sister that making an ace was the one time a golfer could be excused for being loud.

"We told her this is one time you can scream," Broquard told Bloomington newspaper The Pantagraph. "It didn't hit her until the seventh hole and she said, 'I'm going to get another one.' We said, 'OK, hot shot.' "
According to The Pantagraph, Kennedy aced an 85-yard shot on the third hole at The Links at Ireland Grove last week using a hybrid club.

Erin Kennedy, Reagan's mother, said her husband, Steve, put a golf club in Reagan's hands when she was only 2. According to the paper, Reagan played in a tournament in June and finished third in a division for girls ages 6 and 7.

Reagan Kennedy, of Bloomington, said she's now working toward her ultimate golf goal -- beating her father.

"Each year she gets better and better," Steve Kennedy said. "After the Country Youth Classic we came out a few times and she's shot better scores."

By the way, here is a new ping golf--Ping G20 Hybrid. The Ping Company is constantly upgrading and designing new ideas in their golf clubs. People look forward to these new clubs in order to improve their game. Currently, it has been announced that a new G20 hybrid will be introduced.

Players are excited about seeing this club in use by some of the pros at that venue. All golf clubs, put out by this company, are highly prized throughout the world. They are especially designed to correct the problems that are often found when playing this popular game. Their hybrid club, wedges, and the well-known putter are being used somewhere every day.

Specials: Titleist 910 D2 Driver

Titleist have one goal in mind when they create their new products, which is to utilize the very latest technologies and produce a new design that offers golfers an improved level of performance.

First, I want to say, the Titleist 910 D2 Driver Advanced Technologies include the following aspects:

Patented SureFit Tour Technology – this is what really sets the new 910 drivers apart from the crowd. The patented SureFit Tour Technology offers golfers the ability to independently set the loft and lie angles on the clubhead, with up to 16 different combinations.

Fast Face Insert Technology – using this technology the Titleist 910 D2 Driver maximizes ball speed by increasing the effective hitting area by up to 15% on the previous models. They achieve this by varying the thickness across the entire clubface so that there is a thicker central portion that is equidistant from all points of the face perimeter.

Otimized Weight Distribution - Titleist have also optimized weight distribution by lowering the driver's center of gravity and moving it further back in the clubhead. They have done this through thinning the crown of the cludhead by 17%, and creating a more sloped rear crown profile.


The 910 D2 Driver is one of cheap golf clubs. It has a larger clubhead at 460cc which offers more forgiveness, and the 910 D3 Driver has a smaller clubhead at 445cc with a slightly deeper face, which offers additional shot and trajectory control (probably more suited to the highly skilled golfers out there).
Finally, the latest Titleist 910 D2 Drivers have arrived, which is a great news for golfers who are looking to improve their overall driving performance by increasing distance, accuracy and control off of the tee.

Experience of Using Callaway FT-IQ Driver

My experience with the Callaway FT-IQ Driver really was forgettable except for the money I wasted, but Callaway has more than corrected its problems when it developed the FT-IQ.

I bought this driver to replace my broken FTi. The first 10 drives are for the new alignment. After that, it's always in the middle of the fairway and at least 30 yards longer than my old FTi. I didn't think there would be much change from one club to the other. But there is. Worth every $. I usally play around 90's.

Callaway claims that the FT-iQ driver is the longest, straightest driver their engineers have ever created utilizing the coolest, latest innovations from Formula One racers and Stealth Bombers to fire a smart bomb down the fairway. While some golfers say that the FT-iQ looks more like a torpedo rather than a driver, fans would rather compare it with a Lamborghini and endorse it as the next generation of square drivers.

Tjerefore, if you want to buy golf clubs, this is your right answer. With the Center of Gravity (CG) at half the height of the previous FT-i version, golfers are blessed with a superbly low-spin ball launch. Visible external web weighting strategically positions discretional weight to the heel corners, resulting in fades and slices that are drastically reduced to help golfers hit amazingly straight shots.

This is the longest driver i have ever hit. I like the callaway drivers and i love em but the price tag scared me away. Great for rich high handicapers, and anyone who struggles with finding the fairway. Personally i don't have a problem.
