O’Hair reignites season with R11

Sean O’Hair continued the terrific trend of TaylorMade winners this season by bagging his fourth PGA Tour career title at the Canadian Open.

The American, who had missed nine of his last 12 cuts to fall to a lowly 114th in the world rankings, powered his way back into the limelight at the treacherous Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club after defeating compatriot Kris Blanks on the first extra hole.

O’Hair performed admirably off the tee with his ever-popular white Taylormade R11 driver, ranking third in driving distance at 299.6 yards.

The 29-year-old from Texas was also laser-like with his Tour Preferred MB forged irons, ranking inside the top-20 in greens in regulation.

“I think this week the golf swing and the game has been there, but mentally I was a lot better,” said O’Hair, who vaulted to the World No.60 spot with his playoff victory.

“I've wanted to play myself out of this slump so bad, and I've been getting in my own way. This week I did a better job.

“I still need to work on it, but I did a better job to stay out of my own way and playing good golf and letting the chips fall where they may.”

TaylorMade drivers have now been used in 33 victories worldwide in 2011 - more than any other brand.

On the European Tour, Alexander Noren landed the Nordea Masters by seven strokes for his second title in seven weeks with his trusted Callaway bats.

Noren ranked first in greens in regulation with his Callaway RAZR X irons, seventh in driving distance at 299.9 with the Callaway RAZR Hawk yards and ninth in driving accuracy.

2011 Most Game-improvement Irons: Callaway RAZR X Irons

The Callaway RAZR X Irons is for the most part a game-improvement metal that features a large hitting area. Replacing the X-22 and X-24 warm in Callaway's line, every single within the eight irons in your common RAZR X established are created utilizing a manufacturer new variable confront thickness technology, which can make the hitting place thinner when you proceed aside through the center. This element broadens the sweet place and maintains ball pace on off-center hits.

This Technology leads the industry into the next generation of iron design by delivering the distance and forgiveness of a wide-sole iron while retaining the playability and turf interaction advantages of a thin-sole iron.

The all-stainless steel irons repositions 30 grams towards the decrease portion within the cavity, to produce a big sweet area in collection with exactly where typical golfers strike the ball (low about the face). Consistent, higher ball speeds combine with more powerful lofts to generate shots that fly five yards extended on typical than X-22s.

RAZR Technology shifts the center of gravity 12% lower and 15% deeper by redistributing 30 grams of weight in the back cavity; providing the power and forgiveness of a wide-sole iron with the precision and playability of golf clubs for sale.

A refined VFT Face and High-Definition Undercut cavity are tailored to each individual iron. The result is more consistent ball speeds across the face for more distance and accuracy, even on miss-hits.
