Titleist’s GTS metalwoods family expands with the GTS300 mini driver making its PGA TOUR debut, joining the GTS driver and fairway range already in play across professional tours worldwide.
TaylorMade has launched the Shadowfall Collection, an all-black limited-edition range across Qi4D drivers, fairways and P790 irons focusing on unified design and unchanged performance.
Callaway is expanding the Quantum line-up with two clubs aimed at finding something more versatile and forgiving off the tee than a traditional driver, without giving up performance.
We ran Ping’s most recent fairway woods, hybrids, utility iron and long iron on a swing robot at two different swing speeds and attack angles to determine how much head delivery at impact affects launch, spin and carry.
The Mizuno JPX One fairway woods and hybrids look to improve ball speed through new high-strength steel faces and a redesigned channel in the front part of the sole that looks to boost flexing on heel and toe mis-hits.
The Ping G440 fairway woods and hybrids both utilise a new internal hosel structure that frees room for the face to deflect while saving mass that can be used to lower the centre of gravity for easier, more spin-efficient launch.
Fundamental to each of those offerings are the unique face designs that maximise distance and ball-flight needs for four distinct golfer groups, ranging from tour players to grandparents.
go-to club. When I won the Players Championship in 2009, I think I hit driver five times all week. At the 2015 Tour Championship, I went 3-wood, 3-wood to hit the green in two on a 600-yard par 5 at East Lake Golf Club. I use 3-woods so often, I’ve caved in the face on more than one over the years.
