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.

Mizuno MX-950 Review
2008-03-26 03:18:00
Not long ago we had a look at the Mizuno MP-57 irons, geared toward the mid to lower handicap player. Today we will be taking a close look at Mizuno?s offering for the higher handicap player, the MX-950. The MX-950 is a mixed hybrid/iron set with a ton of forgiveness and the quality you would expect from Mizuno. The question is, do they have that same Mizuno feel?

Review: Miura Black Wedge
2008-03-20 02:18:00
Speak the name Miura, and many are struck by visions of artistically ground billets of mild steel and the buttery soft feeling of a well struck long iron. In addition to their hand finished irons, Miura Golf also crafts fine wedges and putters. Today we will be looking at one of the newest Miura offerings, the Black Wedge : a high spin wedge with a black finish and the touch of master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura's hands.

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.

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. They also happen to offer a few other training aid products, a couple of which caught my eye: The Refine r and Swing Accelerator. The refiner is a hinged driver which works on getting your golf swing on plane. The Swing Accelerator, on the other hand, is a weighted club which targets the distance part of your game. We will have a look at both of these devices today and see if they can help your game.

Making the Most of the Driving Range
2008-02-18 16:25:00
We have all been at the driving range and found ourselves in a mindless trance of pounding ball after ball after endless range ball. That groove does absolutely nothing to help your game. If anything it probably hurts it as you are probably further ingraining poor techniques into your swing. Today we will discuss some ways to avoid getting into that groove, while making your driving range sessions more productive.

Floppy Releases New Practice Ball
2008-02-08 17:33:00
Early last year I had a look at The Floppy, a soft indoor practice ball. I still use it to this day, chipping/flopping around the house. I have had a look at a bunch of practice balls at this point, and The Floppy is definitely the one to use inside the house. Recently the guys who created The Floppy released a new version with a more durable design and some fancy packaging. Adam, president of The Floppy, was kind enough to send along a sleeve of the new guys.
