How to Choose the Right Golf Club
By S. Dee Davis Confidence, feel, contact, consistency, spin control – our iron game can pretty much be summed up by those words. If we make good contact, distance takes care of itself as high quality steel on cast urethane produces the crushing blow that launches the ball. The heavy blade makes a punishing descending […]

Taylor Made Burner 2.0 HP
Golf Club 7/10 By S. Dee Davis This mid to high handicap focused set is cavity backed with a large sweet spot and lots of foregiveness. I like the set up of the club for the most part but the head leans back (toe up) a little too much for me. The grip is nice, […]
