Callaway is seeking to expand its wedge offerings beyond the needs of those who play at a high level to a specific player type that needs certainty and forgiveness more than a vast array of sole grinds and bounce options.
In expanding its Milled Grind 2 line, the company has added a 56- and 60-degree model with the grind based off its most-famous staff member: Tiger Woods.
With the new ES21 wedges, the Mizuno team is asking golfers to reorient their thinking, not only in how a wedge can be made but what a better player – on any golfer really – might be looking for.
While all the technological enhancements to mallet putters today have made the oversized putter more acceptable to a wider audience, TaylorMade is taking the next step towards merging the blade and mallet communities: A mallet that’s only skin deep.
There are not many companies, if any, that can introduce five sets of irons at one time – throw in a specialty set of long-iron replacement hybrids to boot – and still make you believe that each has its place. But that’s precisely what Mizuno has done with its next iteration of its modern JPX lineup.
Face it – you can’t hit a 3-iron. You probably can’t hit a 4- or a 5-iron very well, either. But you’re loathe to carry bagful of headcovers, too. If that sounds like you then TaylorMade’s new SIM UDI and SIM DHY might be worth a look.
The new P•770 iron might shout tour-pro ability in looks, but features characteristics that allow better players who don’t play for pay to use them effectively.
