New TaylorMade RSi Irons - More Slots Will Improve Your Game

Nobody's perfect and in golf mis-hits happen even for the likes of your Tour pros such as Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose. 

Have you ever looked at the face of your irons and noticed where the ball impact imprints were? Well TaylorMade has and the results are pretty interesting.

Results gathered by TaylorMade from thousands of club fittings revealed 76% of all iron shots are mis-hits struck outside the center of the face (where the fastest ball speeds are produced). This discovery led the company to the development of a revolutionary new technology designed to improve consistency and distance on off-center strikes.

Now the "Speed Pocket" that was introduced by TaylorMade three years ago in the original RocketBallz irons was great for hits low on the clubface.  The spring action of the slot allowed those mishits to maintain ball speed and keep you from losing a lot of distance on those miss-hits. 

But with the majority of miss-hits (76%) coming from off-center hits TaylorMade knew something had to be developed to keep these shots from losing significant distance.

Hence the invention and introduction of Face Slot Technology where two slots are located near the heel and toe of the clubface to provide uniform flexion across the face, and this also helps protect ball speed and generates more consistent distance on off-center hits.

With brand new Face Slot Technology working in tangent with an improved Speed Pocket with Thru Slot Technology, the new RSi irons provide the golfer with forgiveness across the entire face as opposed to just on the bottom when catching the ball thin.

TaylorMade RSi 1 Irons

The new RSi 1 irons replace the existing SpeedBlade irons in the TaylorMade iron lineup and are targeted towards the game-improvement player.  The RSi 1 features the new Face Slot Technology in the 3-8 irons two slots are located near the heel and toe of the clubface that provide uniform flexion across the face. Face Slot Technology helps maintain ball speed and generates more consistent distance on off-center hits.

Also in the 3-7 iron is an improved Speed Pocket with ThruSlot Technology which helps maintain ball speed on shots hit below the center of the face, as well as increasing launch angle and ball speed on all shots.

RSi 1 also incorporates a new Advanced Face Design - TaylorMade's thinnest face, deep undercut and Inverted Cone Technology combined - to promote maximum face speed, while improved sound and feel is achieved through advanced construction and multiple dampening systems.

The new RSi 1 irons come standard with a REAX 90 steel or REAX graphite shafts. They will be available for sale starting Mid-November with an 8-Piece steel shaft with a MSRP of $799.99 and 8-Piece graphite shaft set with a MSRP of $899.99.

TaylorMade RSi 2 Irons

With its more streamlined head, thinner sole and top-line and less offset the new RSi 2 iron is targeted towards the better, lower-handicapped golfer.

Like the RSi 1 Irons, the RSi 2 also features the new Face Slot technology and improved SpeedPocket .  These innovative performance technologies help maintain consistent ball speeds throughout the face.  

RSi2 irons are loaded with progressive multi-material technology and refined shaping to provide playability and precision for all golfers. 

The long irons have tungsten low in the toe for higher launch and more ballspeed. 

In the mid irons there is a high-strength, thin-face steel construction for high speed and consistency. 

The shorts irons feature a forged carbon steel face with milled grooves for soft feel and control that the better player demands. 

A fully forged 1025 carbon steel wedge for optimum feel and precision round out the most complete set of irons TaylorMade has ever created.

"The RSi 2 iron set provides the ideal blend of performance and beauty. We have combined a progressive multi-material construction (Tungsten and Forged Components) with our most innovative performance technologies (Face Slots, Speed Pocket with ThruSlot) to provide the best of all worlds in a slim, beautiful package." Brett Wahl TaylorMade VP of R&D

The RSi 2 irons are paired nicely with a KBS Tour 105 Steel Shaft that provides tour-caliber performance at a lighter weight for optimum blend of speed, stability and accuracy. They will be available for sale starting Mid-November with an 8-Piece set with a MSRP of $999.99.

Titleist 915 Drivers, Fairways and Hybrids - Released Only When It Is Time

Unlike other golf equipment manufacturers that release new drivers every 6 months, Titleist sticks to its strategy of only releasing equipment when there is a significant technological advancement that will improve their equipment.



The new 915 line may not look so different from its predecessor (the 913 Line) when you're staring down at it from address. There are still the beautiful, classic lines to the clubs that everyone associates with Titleist clubs.

But turn the club over and look at the sole. Maybe we should call it the "soul" because that is where the heart of the new technology resides. The clubs feature a channel that runs from the toe to the heel, just behind the leading edge. Titleist calls it an Active Recoil Channel (ARC), and according to Chris McGinley, the company’s vice president of golf club marketing, it’s the key to many of the clubs’ performance enhancements.

The ARC is designed to let the front of the club flex more at impact which would produce higher ball speeds and less spin which is the holy grail of distance today. Early prototypes of ARC actually performed too well as the new spring-like effect exceeded the USGA allowed levels. So Titleist had to taper it back a little bit by adding a variable face insert which is thicker in the middle and thinner on the edges. The insert allows center-hits to remain conforming while at the same time allows off-center hits to not lose ball speed and distance.

To get the correct launch angle for ultimate distance Titleist engineers lowered the center of gravity and moved it further back in the club. Shifting weight lower and farther back helps the 915D2 and 915D3 produce slightly higher launch angles than their predecessors, the 913 drivers. It also helps increase the moment of inertia.

The 915 Driver will be available in the D2 and D3 Model.  The D2 has a 460cc head with a slight draw-bias.  The D3 is 440cc's has a deeper face which produces a lower, more boring ball flight. 

Both drivers feature the same 16-position SureFit Tour adjustable hosel system. It allows golfers to increase the club's stated loft by as much as 1.5 degrees or reduce it by .75 degrees. Players also can make the club up to 1.5 degrees more upright or flatten the lie angle by .75 degrees.


The 915D2 comes in lofts of 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees. The 915D3 is available in 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 degrees. The 915D2 and 915D3 will retail at $449 and can be paired with wide selection of custom "stock" shafts.



There are two Fairway Woods in the 915 line, the 175cc 915F and the 160cc 915F.d. Both have a classic look at address, featuring a black crown and an understated alignment aid near the face. Both clubs also feature Titleist’s SureFit Tour adjustable hosel system that allows golfers to change the loft and lie independently.

The Active Recoil Channel (ARC) is also present in the new 915 fairway woods. “The channel is slightly deeper in the fairway woods, and positioned slightly closer to the face, than in the drivers,” said Chris McGinley, Titleist’s vice president of golf club marketing. “Compared to a driver, fairway woods have a lot more loft, and more loft creates more spin. So in order to have maximum effectiveness in terms of spin reduction, we needed to move the ARC a little more forward in the fairways.”

The 915F will be available in lofts of 13.5, 15, 16.5, 18 and 21 degrees. The 915F.d will be available in 13.5- and 15-degree versions. Like the 915 driver, Titleist is offering a wide variety of "stock" shafts to go along with this fairway wood.

There are two new Hybrids in the 915 line. 915H has a stainless steel, 118cc-head. The 915H.d has a 107cc head. The 915H was designed to create slightly more spin and has a slightly higher launch angle, and both clubs were given the same uniformly thick Carpenter stainless steel face insert.

Because most of time golfers are hitting hybrids to greens as opposed to drivers and fairways which are hit off tees, the Active Recoil Chamber in the Hybrids is mainly designed to increase ball speed and distance while maintaining spin.

The 915H will be available in lofts of 18, 21, 24 and 27 degrees. The 915H.d will come in lofts of 17.5, 20.5 and 23.5 degrees.

The new Titleist 915 Line will be available for sale starting mid-November 2014. With Titleist it just goes to show you that you don't need to release new drivers every 6 months with a variety of colored heads to be successful.  All you need is a quality product that has significant improvements over the previous model and Titleist has accomplished this with the new 915 Line. 

Retro Pom Pom Headcovers Are Back In Style - Great Golf Deals.com Blog

Did you happen to see the headcovers used by the USA Team at last week's Ryder Cup?    The 2014 USA Ryder Cup team used custom-made Pom Pom headcovers and they really looked good.  Too bad they didn't play as well as their gear looked...

Just like fashion, if you wait a while things come back in style.

Pom Pom headcovers were all the rage back in the 70's when Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson were dominating the PGA Tour.  Back then, the OEM headcovers were not the greatest so a lot of players swapped them out for custom headcovers.

Today, OEM headcovers are a lot more stylish and OEM's put a lot of work into styling their matching headcovers.  But there is something just a little too sterile about the new headcovers.  Maybe its the man-made synthetic material they use or the styling or just the way they fit.  Maybe it's that everyone else with the same driver has the same cover and I like variety.  In any case, I wanted to add a little customization and style to my bag without spending a lot of money.

Now I am now way a fashionista but if you are looking to add a little style to your bag then one of the best ways to do that is to change your headcovers.

I could have gone the animal headcover route but to me it just looks a little weird to have an animal sitting atop of your clubs.  So I decided to go retro and go with pom pom headcovers.  To my surprise there are quite a few companies that offer pom pom headcovers all ranging in style and price.  

After a lot of research I decided to go with a company called Sunfish Sales Headcovers.  This is a fairly new company based out of Tennessee and they are putting out a high-quality pom pom headcover at a very reasonable price.  Now I am not a knitting expert but from the look and feel of these covers you can tell that they are of high quality and substantial.  The label states that they are all  hand-knitted from 100% New Zealand wool.  

The pom sizes vary per club.  On the driver it is a large - 6" pom while the fairway has a 4" pom and hybrid has a 3" pom.  The length of the headcovers is more than enough to protect the shaft from scraping against your bag.  In addition, there is a sewn in elastic that is designed to keep your cover fitting snuggly and  prevent it from falling off. 

There are enough color combinations available to ship immediately to meet most golfers needs but if you want something customized that is available but expect about 4 weeks for delivery.  I ordered the driver, fairway and hybrid cover with red and black stripes and it shipped immediately and I had it within two days.

Price was extremely reasonable as I paid less than $70 for all three.  Now that may seem a lot but there are other companies that sell just the driver cover for that much.  And for a hand-knitted, 100% wool covers I felt it was well worth the investment.

  

Top 5 Ways to Save Money On Buying New Golf Equipment

Are you envious of your golfing buddies who trot out the latest golf equipment each new season while you’re still playing with stuff from 5 years ago?

Is the smallest guy in your foursome continually outdriving you?

Is the head in your driver smaller than your friends 3-wood and still made out of a once-living item?

Then maybe it’s time to invest in an upgrade in your golfing gear. Here are the 5 top ways to get that new gear and still have cash left over for green fees:

1. Don’t Buy the Brand New Releases. 

Each year around February and March the top golf equipment manufacturers come out with the latest and greatest equipment and price them at top dollar. They are banking on the fact that all of us golf gear-heads will want the latest stuff in our bags for the new golf season. But if you can wait 6 months, you can pick up the same stuff for about 50% of the original price. For example, this year TaylorMade came out with the JetSpeed Driver that was priced at   $299.99 on its release date. That same driver can be purchased new today, 6 months later,  for $ 169.99

2. Look for Open-Box Merchandise.

What exactly is Open-Box Merchandise? Open-Box Merchandise is equipment that for some reason has been removed from the original factory packaging and therefore cannot be sold as new. In some cases it is a set club that was shipped out to a customer and for whatever reason the customer returned it UNUSED. The key word here is UNUSED. It could also have been an item that was on the store floor and again is UNUSED. The key to this is that because it is unused the original manufacturers warranty is still in effect and you can get the new-release equipment at 20-30% off full retail price.

3. Trade-in Your Used Gear. 

Do you really need 3 drivers or 4 putters? When buying new equipment be sure to bring in your old stuff to use as a trade-in credit towards the new gear. There is a “Blue-Book” for used golf equipment and it’s called the PGA Value Guide. Pretty much all golf equipment retailers use this to determine approximate trade-in values. But manage your expectations with trade-ins. Don’t expect to get $ 350 for that $ 399 driver after it has been used. In most cases the trade in value will start at 50% of the original price then go down from there based on age and condition of item. If you want to get more for your trade-in you can try to sell it to your buddy or take the time to sell it on an auction site like eBay. You can get started on your trade-in here.

4. “Add to Cart for Price” 

Ever wonder why online golf retailers make you do this just to see what the price is? Well it’s not done to make it harder for you to purchase something; it is done because the golf equipment manufacturers have what is called MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) pricing policies. MAP pricing is a form of price-fixing where the golf equipment manufactures want all their retailers to sell the equipment at the same price. One way retailers can get around this and sell at a lower price is by not showing the price of the item on the website until it is in the shopping cart. So take that extra step and add the item to the cart to see what the discounted price is. You are never obligated to buy it and can remove it any time. Believe me it is worth the extra step and you will save a lot of money.

5. Sign Up for Email Specials. 

The golf equipment retail business is very competitive and every retailer is looking to give their customers the best deals out there. One way to make sure you’re on top of the deals out there is to sign up for the golf retailers email specials. Instead of scouring the web for deals yourself, let the deals come to you via email. Many retailers will send exclusive coupon codes and specials out to their customers only or notify them in advance of any closeout deals coming so you can score the big deal before it gets opened up to the general public.

Mizuno Sends Shockwaves Throughout The Industry With Their New 2015 Woods.

Move over TaylorMade and Callaway, there's a new golf club innovator in town. 

The new Mizuno JPX-850 fairway woods and hybrids utilize a new "Shock Wave" sole that is designed to contract and expand on impact and transfers energy back into the ball which will produce a longer and more consistent shot.

Mizuno's research showed that most golf shots off of fairway woods and hybrids are hit lower on the face so they designed these woods with the COR and center of gravity (CG) lower on the face for less twisting at impact which produces a more penetrating ball flight.

The accordion-like Shock Wave sole help create extra speed by rebounding energy into the ball caused by the contracting and expanding clubhead.   

In addition to the shock wave sole, Mizuno has added a "waffle" crown which has variable thickness throughout the crown to maintain power and rigidity while at the same time reduces weight so it could be placed lower in the Shock Wave sole. 

Mizuno JPX850 Fairway Wood

Mizuno say the JPX850 fairway is a classic looking fairway at address with a generous footprint to inspire confidence. The design creates a low penetrating flight and allows players a high level of workability.

The JPX850 fairways also feature Mizuno's Quick Switch adjustable hosel system giving four loft options for each of the 3, 5 and 7 wood heads in the range.

Mizuno JPX850 Hybrid

The JPX850 hybrid also features the Shock Wave sole and provides a profile at address that features the neutral lines favoured by Mizuno's Tour players but unlike the fairway wood the hosel on the hybrid is not adjustable.

Retail prices for the fairway woods are $249.99 and $199.99 for the hybrids and they are scheduled for release in early November.  

This is by far the most exciting product that Mizuno has come out with in years and it's nice to see them come out with new, innovative products that should shake up the industry.  Do yourself a favor and check these out while you consider your 2015 bag makeup.
