Enjoy the read.

Shop news

New bags in-store

New in the shop this week are these Masters water resistant stand and cart bags at an amazing price of £64.99, reduced from £89.99. They’re great bags to have especially for taking abroad in a travel cover.

New PING irons

Also new into the shop this week are the latest new trial heads from PING; the i210, i500 and G700.

PING i210

The i210 has a larger, softer elastomer insert in the compact head activates at impact for unprecedented feel while a machined face and grooves help provide the impact consistency and distance precision required for scoring. Hot, forgiving long irons and precise, controlled mid and short irons create a high-performing set.

PING i500

After hitting this sleek, blade-style iron you'll be amazed at its incredible speed, distance, and towering trajectory, with stopping power that gives you a real competitive advantage. The forged C300 maraging-steel face, metal-wood-like construction and hinged cavity create the conditions for unprecedented speed, power and distance.

PING G700

In this game-improvement iron, PING engineers put a high priority on power and forgiveness by leveraging the advantages of a hollow-body design and a thin, maraging steel face, creating PING’s longest, highest-flying iron to date. All this comes with the added benefits of playability, tighter dispersion and enhanced sound in a slim, aesthetically pleasing shape.

Shirt Amnesty

Want to win a tour bag?

You can still win a limited edition Titleist cart bag worth £200 when you purchase a dozen of either Pro V1, Pro V1x or the new AVX and be put into the draw of a chance of 1/50 to win the bag! We are really puzzled why there has been so little interest in this promo as our balls are internet price matched and the bag we are giving away free is worth £200. At the moment only two people are on the board so its great odds for them, one of them will win a bag worth £200.

Why is there a limit?

We’ve spoken a bit about the R&A and USGA in the past when it comes to the Rules of Golf, but golf’s governing bodies also set the limits when it comes to the manufacturing of golf equipment. This includes inspecting things like groove volumes of wedges, COR on iron faces and head sizes of drivers, which are limited to 460 cubic centimetres (cc).

Why are driver heads limited to 460cc?
This was set when drivers leapt from 250cc in 1995 (the first mass produced titanium drivers) to 500cc in 2002. Improving R&D confirmed that larger heads have a higher moment of inertia (MOI), which means that they twist less as impact resulting in straighter shots. At this point, golf’s governing bodies stepped in to ensure further technology improvements didn’t diminish the skill level needed to play well off the tee.

What are the benefits?
Larger headed 460cc drivers, like the Mizuno ST180, give you the biggest head possible, which means you can miss the middle of the face now and then and still hit a good shot. This is because they have more room for wider or taller faces, plus a forgiving, higher MOI that adds forgiveness.
