Review: Heavy Putter C2-DF
2008-06-03 16:02:00 If you are a long time reader of The Deep Rough, you know I am absolutely in love with my B3-M Heavy Putter. Earlier this year, Heavy Putter released a new line of Deep Faced putters. The Deep Face raises the center of gravity of the putter, aligning it closer to the equator of a golf ball. This should result in more consistent strikes on the sweet spot of the putter face. So let?s have a look at the Heavy Putter C2-DF and see how it compares to the earlier generation Heavy Putters.

Review: TaylorMade Tour Burner
2008-05-30 17:15:00 TaylorMade launch the new Tour Burner line of equipment earlier this Spring with a spirited marketing campaign. The Burner Bloodline website provides great detail and insight into this tour like line of equipment. Unlike the Tour Authentic line from Callaway, the Tour Burner series is not about bringing extremely high priced actual Tour equipment to the hands of the weekend golfer, but about bringing Tour like performance to the rest of us. Can a piece of equipment give us a ball flight like TaylorMade Staffer Sergio Garcia? More About: Drivers , Reviews , Review , Equipment

Golf Push Cart Roundup
2008-05-28 15:43:00 Buggies, trolleys, push carts...golfers from around the world have many names for these two or three wheeled devices to help lug those clubs around the course. Anyone who has pulled a two wheel cart behind them for 18 holes knows that process can be more trouble than it's worth. The three wheeled push cart has helped transform the task from a painful experience to an easier walk in the park. Over the next week, we will be posting detailed reviews of a couple of the more popular push cart options available. Today we will have a quick look at the carts involved.

Review: 2008 Callaway Women?s Shirts
2008-05-27 14:36:00 Callaway recently sent me two ladies' golf shirts to review and I?m now a convert to this brand of clothing that I had previously shied away from. I was immediately impressed by the style and feel of both shirts and after wearing them once on the golf course, I actually put one on knowing that I wouldn?t be hitting the links that day. These shirts are not only comfortable, but incredibly fashionable as well. More About: Women , Reviews , Review , Shirts , Apparel

Nike Slingshot 4D Review
2008-04-23 17:52:00 Spring has finally arrived for me! After a long winter without any golf, I finally got in 27 holes this weekend. The motivation for this early and cold round was a set of beautiful new Nike irons that have been staring at me for about 3 weeks. These impressive new clubs arrived one day and I?ve been itching to play with them since I eyed their shiny new faces with fancy yellow coloring. I initially started swinging them in the house waiting for the day when I could finally try them out and see for myself if they were as fantastic as they looked.

Review: Nike Sumo Squared 5900
2008-03-11 15:49:00 Square was all the rage in 2007, with the original Sumo Squared, Callaway FT-i and various other models reaching the market. The initial buzz factor was huge as everyone seemed to love to talk about super high MOI and the ultra-forgiving nature of the square driver head. Sure there were some complaints of a loss of distance and deafening sound, quieting the square head buzz a little?However, it has been over a year now, and as far as I can tell, club designers do not sleep these days. The Nike engineers have obviously been hard at work, recently unveiling their new square driver: The Sumo Squared 5900. More About: Drivers , Review , Equipment

Review: Refine and Accelerate
2008-03-04 20:34:00 Not long ago I wrote about the GyroSwing which will soon be released by SLKZ golf.
