TaylorMade Penta TP5 Review
Golf Ball 8.5/10 By S. Dee Davis Taylor has made what I would call a high end value ball with the TP5 for 2014. This is a 5 layer ball that does a good job of handling spin from various club segments – more spin for longer irons and medium spin on the Driver and […]
TaylorMade Burner Ball
2-Layer Golf Balls 8/10 By S. Dee Davis At $13 a dozen for the yellow, or $15 a dozen for the white, the Taylor Made Burner ball is still our #1 Budget ball. Great ball for higher handicappers. This two layer ball will surprise you with its soft feel around the greens and off the […]
Taylor Made RocketBallz Driver (RBD) Review
Golf Driver 7.5/10 By S. Dee Davis At $299 this new 2012 driver made by Taylor Made combines some of the best technologies the companies R11S has but at a better price point. Key points remain such as allowing you to adjust the face angle plus or minus 3 degrees or adjustment for loft at […]
Titleist 910D2 Driver Review
Golf Driver 8.5/10 By S. Dee Davis We reviewed the 460 head size of this driver and were impressed by almost every metric. This larger club head obviously offers more forgiveness than the smaller option. Leave that one to the pros. Club head speed was up there among the highest. The tour velvet 360 grip […]
Adams Speedline Fast 12 Driver Review
Golf Driver 8/10 By S. Dee Davis This driver is a good solid performer at a nice $199 price. It has an Aldila Wasabi shaft of that cool green color that Aldila is known for and a matte finish black head. The club head is designed for very fast swing through with the aerodynamic shape. […]
Nike VR Pro Driver Review
Golf Driver 8/10 By S. Dee Davis First of all what is with the $419 price tag on this driver? OK, now that we are past that stirring fact, this driver has 32 possible head positions – that’s right 32. Driving range here comes my money! That’s actually a multiplied number when you take into […]
Cobra Long Tom Driver Review
Golf Driver 7.9/10 By S. Dee Davis This driver derives its moniker from its 4 foot length. It’s the maximum length allowed by the USGA. This gives it a high length to weight ratio which in theory should translate into a longer distance ball. At least that’s the plan. It has an ultra light design […]
Callaway Razr Fit Review
Golf Driver 7.5/10 By S. Dee Davis Now for the interesting part about this driver. It is composed of a new material – other than Titanium. That’s right, you heard it here second. Is is made from a patented material that Callaway claims is lighter and stronger than Titanium – a Carbon composite. That is […]
Cobra S3 Max 10 Degree Loft Review
Golf Driver 7.5/10 By S. Dee Davis This is a great driver for those who struggle with fading and slicing the ball. The head is very slightly offset which helps you get around on the ball more than usual. While I was fading most of the drivers, I was drawing this one. The Fujikura Blur […]
Taylor Made R11S Review
Golf Driver 8.6/10 By S. Dee Davis Taylor has just dominated woods and drivers since the 80’s when their non-metal woods became popular. Many tour pros use their driving and fairway metals. This new driver has two adjustments, one for face angle and the other for flight path. The face angle adjustment on the bottom […]
Cobra AMP Offset Driver 2012 Model Review
Golf Driver 7.6/10 By S. Dee Davis This new for 2012 model driver from Cobra has lots of new and interesting features. One of the aspects of this driver we like most is the offset head which allows the player to “get around” a little better on the ball and prevents slices and extreme fades. […]
Titleist ProV1 Golf Ball Review
Golf Ball 9/10 By S. Dee Davis Surprisingly, the Titleist ProV1 despite all its success is just barely a 3 layer construction ball with a large single core solid polybutadien inner ball core. It has a very thin Ionomer casing layer which the urethane elastomer cover layers. So, you would think this is not a […]
Maxfli Tour Golf Ball Review
Golf Ball 7.5/10 By S. Dee Davis The Maxfli Tour ball is designed to keep the ball in the air the longest possible time by reducing spin through an advanced dimple design that Maxfli is known for and has been using for years. It has 318 dimples, and is very durable. The cover is softer […]
Wilson Staff Tour FG Golf Ball Review
Golf Ball 7/10 By S. Dee Davis This is a budget, well constructed ball with a very nice cast urethane synthetic cover. It’s wrapped in a low compression 3 piece construction with only a 75 compression rating – which makes it one of the softest balls on the market in 2012. Soft balls create lots […]
Nike 20XI-X Golf Ball Review
Golf Ball 8/10 By S. Dee Davis The Nike 20XI-X ball has one of the highest dimple counts of any top ball on tour at 360. It has 4 layer construction and is made as a distance ball due to the soft new inner core that ball uses to help reduce spin on high swing […]
Callaway Black Hex Tour Ball
Golf Ball 9/10 By S. Dee Davis This is Callaway’s premium tour ball that competes well with the ProV1x. In fact if you are accustomed to that ball and want to try something else, this is probably your ticket. It’s got distance and feel attributes and several tour players playing it. Callaway claims that the […]
