Sweet Taylormade R11 Series

Taylormade R11 Series include Rescue Hybrid, Driver, Fairway Wood and Irons. Let us know about them.

First, featuring a deeper face and lower center of gravity, the Taylormade R11 Rescue Hybrid creates an easier launch with each hit. A new sleek design features a white crown and black clubface which allows you to easy align and stay on top of your game.

Second, the advance buzz about the TaylorMade R11 driver focused mostly on the white crown and black clubface. It's a look that will provide a "wow" factor for some golfers, but one that, according to the company, also serves a purpose. The white color makes the 440cc clubhead appear slightly larger, TaylorMade says, and provides a greater contrast to the turf to make aiming easier - an advantage more pronounced in lower light conditions, according to the company.

The R11 driver incorporates TaylorMade's Movable Weight Technology (to promote a desired bias or trajectory changes), plus its Flight Control Technology (to change loft and face angle). The R11 driver adds another tech, what TaylorMade calls its Adjustable Sole Plate.

Thirdly, The Taylormade r11 Fairway wood brings new technology, innovation, and aesthetics to the proud line of TaylorMade clubs. With it's distinctive white crown and black face, the R11 is one of the easiest fairway woods to align at address ever, while massive technological features ensure the proper fit for every golfer, allowing you to maximize distance through proper loft, face angle, and flight path customization.

At last, the newest club is 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.”

Titleist's New Putter: Scotty Cameron Circa 62 Model No.3

Originally I bought the studio select newport because the shop didn't have the newport 2. I didn't know that the newport did not have the guide groove. Strangely, I was putting much better and my distance control improved immensely.

Each of the Circa 62 putter is entirely milled from soft carbon steel. The hosel and blade are milled from the same block of steel, meaning there's no welding involved in the making of the putter. Most putters that are made using investment casting techniques have hosels that are welded to the blade, which can lead to inconsistencies in weight and feel from putter to putter.

Before the tournament I decided to switch the putter to newport 2 b/c I thought the guide line on the newport 2 would improve my game even further. What a huge mistake that was. I couldn't line up straight, because the line was actually distracting me instead of helping me. And the newport 2 felt too bulky and heavy. I couldn't feel the ball at all on short putts and would hit the ball too hard way passed the hole.

The Titleist Scotty Cameron Circa 62 Model No.3 Putter is very minimalist-looking putters. At address, the only thing that stands out is the tiny white sight circle on the top of the putter behind the sweet spot - no complicated series of lines or shapes. I think it's great. In a putter market where every new design seems to be more overboard than the last, the Circa 62s are understated and sleek.

I went back to the shop to exchange my newport 2 back to newport, but they were all out of the newport, but then the circa 62 no3. caught my eye. I tried it and absolutely love it. It felt right from the moment I held it. And this putter doesn't have the annoying guide groove to distract me. Plus, this putter is a carbon steel rather than stainless steel. it's a softer metal and 10g lighter then the newport putters but still it feels well balanced and I am back to making burdies.

Speaking of the grip, it is a soft leather grip from Australia. It is hand-stitched, and the stitching runs down the bottom of the grip to serve as a raised "reminder" area. A few people who tried out my Circa 62 No. 3 (cheap golf equipment) didn't care for this "steering wheel" feel, but I liked it. And if you've never putted with a leather grip, you're missing something.

To sum up, the putter has a great look, feel and feedback. However, it does poorly since the one dot on top does not help in alignment, causing a loss in confidence.

Expert Review: Titleist 910 F-D Fairway Wood

The Titleist 910 F-d fairway wood is a great addition to Titleist’s prestigious golf club line-up.  This model features a deeper face than most of the comparable fairway woods on the market, which makes teeing off with a fairway wood a breeze.

The larger club face also seems to help with control — hitting the ball straight is no problem for this golf club. I found that this club performs great from nice lies in the fairway as well. This club has two separate adjustment areas that allow golfers to customize their loft and lie, producing a truly custom fit, albeit the adjustment process is not quite as user friendly as with the TaylorMade R11.

Features and Benefits of the Titleist 910 Fd fairway wood (cheap golf equipment):

• 910 fairway metals deliver total performance with improvements in flight, fit, looks, feel and sound.
• Larger volume head design, the Titleist 910Fd provides enhanced distance and control from the tee compared to a traditional fairway metal.
• A deeper face and larger hitting area inspire the confidence needed to hit the fairway more often.
• 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 F-d has a slightly lower launch and lower spin rate compared to the 910F. models incorporate the company's SureFit Tour (SFT) dual-angle hosel, which allows for independent adjustments to loft and lie angles.

There are 16 loft/lie combinations possible, giving the golfer the ability to affect left-right ball flight, along with launch angle and spin rates.

Kim leads frustrating US Women’s Open

The Colorado weather continues to wreak havoc on the US Women’s Open as another thunderstorm left players kicking their heels in the clubhouse for a second day running.

South Korea’s Kim In-kyung leads having completed her first round with a 1-under 70 before picking up three more shots in 15 holes of the second round at The Broadmoor.

The 23-year-old, seeking her maiden major title, lead Americans Stacy Lewis (16 holes), Wendy Ward and Amy Anderson - yet to tee off – by two shots.

Lewis, who won the year’s opening major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April, topped the leaderboard with TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons when the first round was completed earlier in the day and held a three-shot lead after seven holes of her second round.
But she began to self-destruct when play resumed after an hour-long storm delay, dropping three shots at 14 and 15.

“I played really good all day,” said Lewis, reflecting. “But I was frustrated with the way I finished. It’s unfortunate we didn’t get done today.”

Only 33 players in the field managed to complete 36 holes, including clubhouse leaders Angela Stanford and Lizette Salas who are both even par at the halfway point.

Defending champion Paula Creamer is still in the hunt at 1-under with two holes of her second round still to play, while World No.1 Yani Tseng is not having a lot of fun.
The Taiwanese star opened with a 73 and four bogies in her second round has left her seven shots off the pace.

Overnight co-leader Cristie Kerr failed to save par after being left in a greenside bunker when play was cancelled and fell back to Callaway RAZR X Tour Irons and is yet to start her second round.

“I won the Open in Pine Needles [in 2007] when I shot even the first day. It’s not a bad omen,” said the World No.2, remaining positive.

Mizuno JPX 800 Irons, Maximum Distance And Amazing Forgiveness

Nothing matters if they don't work, right?! I loved these irons. I truly believe Mizuno is on to a specific thing specific with these clubs.

A serious looking iron designed to be amazingly forgiving and explosively long, the JPX-800™ is the first model to bring Mizuno's Global JPX technology platform to the United States. The unbelievable distance of the Mizuno JPX 800 Irons is achieved by combining MAX COR Technology, Hot Metal™ Face construction, and an exotic pocket cavity to hit the maximum allowable limits for energy transfer.

The only cause I don't is mainly because I'm truly not beneficial sufficient for your MP-57's, however the really feel of hitting them beneficial is so amazing... key in the JPX-800 sequence irons. completely stuck shots really feel fantastic. Like a blade- no, but that's not what you're signing up for.

Hitting in the fairway, hard and hardpan- I felt relaxing getting the JPX-800's for the my ball with confidence. in contrast to some gaming advancement clubs- there is a fantastic quantity of workability out there to me as well. I don't have sufficient technique to sit within the variety hitting cuts and draws consistently, but I can tinker sufficient to learn that a fantastic golfer shouldn't be afraid to consider on these clubs.

Simply put, the JPX-800 irons (cheap golf equipment) utilize the world's most advanced Game Improvement technologies to help the serious mid to high-handicap player score like never before!

Have They Improved The Master Championship?

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in the powers to be at The Masters Golf Championship. They’ve ruined my favorite golf tournament. I’m quite certain that Bobby Jones is turning in his grave!

The Master’s has chosen to lengthen their golf course to the point that 90% of the field doesn’t have a prayer in competing for the opening major championship of the 2006 season. I grant you that Master’s officials certainly should have concern for their championship being won by a score like 22 under par. Compared to the US Open, known for it’s difficult conditions making even par a winner score again, the Masters at Augusta National with it’s wide rolling fairways and light rough became outdated in today’s long ball hitting environment.

The same long hitting lineup is hitting it long at the US Open too but it’s not just the length that’s causing the higher scores. It’s the super fast greens and tight fairways with considerable rough that makes it very difficult for any player to reach the green in regulations once in deep rough’s grasp.

At the Player’s Championship we watched the best PGA touring professionals in the business agonize over a par three of only 123 yards. What made the Masters committee decide that only a 240 yard par three could tame today’s long hitting bullies?

Tighten up the golf course I say, don’t lengthen it. Add a vicious intimidating rough that would make even the longest hitters reach for their 1 iron or a three wood to not risk hitting their drive in the rough and lose a stroke, (or maybe even your ball) to a deep club swallowing hazard.

Not only would the scores go up but at the same time you would bring more players into contention and in my estimation bring out the best ball strikers not just the long knockers.

Doesn’t NASCAR do the same thing? Look at how successful NASCAR is! They control the speed of the cars so that more competitors are bunched up at the finish to create a more exciting race.

Maybe the powers to be at The Masters, with all their glory, high income power brokers, members of the powerful business clicks, don’t have as much sense as a bunch of rednecks with a beer in their hand watching a Chevy go around in a circle. It must be true, look at the numbers at NASCAR and look at how golf is loosing popularity and participation.
