New Titleist AP1 712 Irons

Amazing look and feel - Titleist AP1 712 Irons

Establishing  high technology style and design as well as resounding achievement with the initial AP golf irons, Titleist AP1 712 Irons features the brand new high end AP1 golf irons intended for passionate golf players. The Titleist AP1 712 are actually multi-material, twin cavity golf irons in which take the feel to a whole new level.

The concept of the new irons was implemented due to the fact the golfers did not want to sacrifice performance for the cost of look and feel. The Titleist research and design teams have innovative research staff  performing substantial sound and vibration evaluation targeted at decreasing the lower frequency vibration that produces inferior feel with irons.

This particular research resulted in merging numerous technological innovations and components within the rear cavity with the brand new Titleist AP1 712 Irons golf irons providing a brand new feel design which takes feel into a completely new level of quality. The new design provides superior overall performance compared to its predecessors which the lower frequencies attribute to the improved feel.

During research and development the team made strict standards and specifications to meet the Titleist quality. The multiple parts of the clubs were evaluated by professional golfers from around the world and provided input in the process of development. This testing helps with the quality assurance associated with Titleist.

The shorter golf clubs provide better control and effectiveness which provides better flight. Although the Titleist AP1 712 golf clubs are new, they have already been tested at 2011 AT&T National at Aronimink Golf Club outside Philadelphia in which 19 were brought into play by the Titleist team. This helps influence the final design of the clubs in which buyers will be able to purchase in stores later on. This will help insure their domination of having some of the best  clubs in the market.

Galvin Green Edge Review

Galvin Green Edge Review

The Galvin Green Edge Skintight Base Layer is the latest addition to the Galvin Green Swedish-based weather wear brand featuring Compression Technology.

The skintight base layer is made from 92% polyester and 8% spandex and is available in sizes extra small (XS)  to very large (XXXL). The colour of the base layer is black and grey.  There is a logo on the right sleeve.

The 'secret Weapon' of the Galvin Green Edge vest is the multi-layer body mapping Compression Technology, which supplies the golf player with several advantages.  

* Extra layers are provided where needed and less layers where more flexibility is required.

* The garment's skin tight fit protects the upper body from low temperatures. 

* Compression technology comes in two categories, compression 20 for playing in temperatures of 20 degrees celsius and below, and compression 10 which protects whilst playing in temperatures below 10 degrees celsius.

* This range is achieved by the high-tech hollow fibres in the inner layer which, while adding a warming effect during play also prevent overheating, and remove moisture from perspiration from the body.

* Extra compression layers give added support around the muscles where it most needed, like the back, chest and upper arms during play, by stimulating the movement of oxygen to the muscles, while mesh fabric used in the under arm section of the base garment allows for ventilation and emission of excess heat and moisture.

Because of the skin tight fit of the Galvin Green Edge vest, posture is improve. Muscle vibration is limited and the risk of 

muscle strains and injuries are thereby reduced.

The vest is machine washable, utilising Anti-bacterial technology to keep the garment fresh.

Ultimately, the Galvin Green Edge base layer efficiently keeps the body comfortably warm and supported during play whilst 

efficiently removing perspiration allowing the player to feel at his best throughout his game.

New TaylorMade R11 Irons Review

TaylorMade R11 Irons Review

As a golfer who can use all the help he can get, I am always looking for an edge on my friends when we play. I am not the type of golfer who buys the latest product to hit the market every six months. However, when I saw TaylorMade was releasing its new series of irons, I had to try them.

The R11 irons are just what I needed to improve my middle and short game. I'm a pretty decent driver but my iron play needed some help. The R11 irons have changed my game dramatically this year.  Not only do I get amazing height on my shot, I get length as well. I have gained approximately 30 yards in distance with the R11 irons. Being an average golfer, I need every advantage I can get from my clubs. These irons are very forgiving so when I hit the ball a little off center, it still stays in play. I have shaved strokes off my handicap using the R11 irons. 

The R11 irons are very easy to swing and feel comfortable in your hands. Some irons feel heavy and awkward on the backswing and on follow through.  The R11ís  actually feel custom fitted and provide the grip I look for in an iron. The thin clubface provides a soft feel on impact with no vibration resonating back up into your hands. They simply glide through the ball with no feeling of resistance. Honestly, I cannot remember when I had a set of irons that provides this kind of an overall performance.

Sure new irons may not be as sexy as pulling out the driver to impress your golf buddies. What will impress them is the improved play of your game and the score you put on your card. If you have been waiting to buy new irons, the wait is over. Go out and purchase the TaylorMade R11 iron set.  Once you try them, you will wonder how you played without them. 

Mizuno MP-59 Irons Review

Mizuno's MP-59 Irons out did themselves

Mizuno has done it yet again, astounding me with their newest MP iron series.  The Mizuno MP-59's are by far one of the best clubs I have held in my hand.  One of the things that impressed me most about this club was it's ability to forgive a little a bit more than most other clubs.  I believe the key factor in this is that it has a little bit bigger sweet spot on it, and it has about 12 grams of titanium added into the head.  

With this new design it gives the more experienced players more control over the maneuverability of their shot.  When I had hit the 5 iron for my first time, I could definitely notice the stability I had when my shots were a little off, thus improving my game.  In my opinion what they did with the Grain flow forging was absolutely brilliant.   The smoothness when striking the ball with that technology in mind was incredible and very noticeable.  Now the Gold steel shaft they used for the club  was an absolutely great idea as well, considering it is by far one of the best shafts in the industry.  

Now if your a little less experienced golf player it might take you a little bit to adjust to them but eventually you will grow to love them and not want to trade them in until the next model in the MP iron set.  Now if your just starting out then I would suggest working your way up to these clubs.  Mizuno definitely went all out for this club and I am entirely happy with the way it performed and handled in the field.  So if I were you I would at least go to your local pro shop and give them a swing around, and see what you think.

TaylorMade R11 Irons

TaylorMade R11 Irons

A recent report in golfspy showed early glimpses of the new TaylorMade R11 irons and hopefully shortly I will have some pictures to show you (last time I posted TM R11 photos I was asked kindly to remove them so I shall await official pictures in this instance) Here's what golfspy have to say

Taylormade R11 Irons

When Taylormade released the white R11 driver…it was basically an FU to the entire industry when you think about it. Taylormade was basically saying to all its competitors…”We’re going to launch something none of you would ever even dream of doing (because of the guaranteed mockery you would get from consumers and the industry) and oh by the way it’s going to be the biggest driver release ever to hit the golf world.”

Hard to imagine now…especially since it has been out and flooding the Tours and flying off retail shelves across the country…but if you go back to before its launch and think about a company like Titleist or Callaway or Ping releasing a white driver you would have probably laughed…and not even given the new driver a chance on the range.  But with the tour presence Taylormade has…they can roll over a new club to all their pro staff in the blink of an eye.  And the sheer numbers of them give you a great probability that you will get a win on tour with one of these new white drivers pretty quickly…which of course influences the consumer all the way down the line…it is a validation (although not a good one) to them that this thing must work.
