If there’s one thing we lament about Phil Mickelson and the awkward place he now holds in professional golf after defecting from the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf League last summer, it’s the lack of playful commentary he once authored on his social-media accounts.
If you don’t count a pro-am that Lucas Herbert won in his hometown in early January, the 27-year-old’s 2023 debut will come at the DP World Tour’s Dubai Desert Classic later this month, an event he won in 2020.
The three new Mizuno ST230 drivers make a big push forward towards improving ball speed and optimising launch conditions with a lot of light carbon composite and a little bit of heavy steel.
TaylorMade expands its Spider line-up to include a new high-stability mallet, the GTx, and the GT Max, an oversize mallet with adjustable weights on its parallel arms that change the centre of gravity’s distance from the face to make it feel, swing and perform like multiple putters in one.
As rumoured for a couple of weeks, Brooke Henderson has formally agreed to a multiyear contract with TaylorMade to play its clubs, ball and use a TaylorMade staff bag. The signing comes on the heels of the company inking another LPGA star, Nelly Korda, earlier in the week. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The new G430 driver family, which includes the neutral flight, ultra-forgiving Max (RRP $995), the increasingly draw-biased SFT and the compact, low-spinning LST (RRP $1,050), continues the company’s theme of forgiveness. These drivers put more weight in the extreme perimeter but also feature thinner, more forgiving faces, as well.
It’s been less than two months since Jon Rahm called the Official World Golf Ranking “laughable.” And after what happened Monday morning, we’re pretty sure he’s still not in a laughing mood when it comes to that system.
The three Cobra Aerojet drivers look to combine the swing speed enhancing benefits of aerodynamic bodies with the distance-enhancing benefits of lower spin, a faster-face and increased forgiveness.
The Cobra Aerojet fairway woods and hybrids use a revolutionary, bridge-like internal weight bar that pushes weight low and forward for lower spin and higher launch.
