What's New: Equipment News

The new TaylorMade Stealth 2 Woods deploy more carbon throughout the clubhead than ever before – now spanning the crown, sole, composite ring and face. Advancements in CG (center of gravity) and MOI (moment of inertia) were high-performing improvements in the original Stealth. Building on those improvements in the Stealth 2 series has just made these woods even better. The results are better forgiveness (or FARGIVENESS), more distance, faster ball speeds and optimal spin rates. Drivers TaylorMade’s new suite of drivers features 3 models and fit golfers of all abilities. The Stealth 2 Plus is optimal for the lower handicap players that require lower spin and workability, similar to its predecessor. The Stealth 2 drive is more of a mid-launch and mid-spin face design. And the Stealth 2 HD features a draw bias and is the most forgiving in the new Stealth 2 family. The new 60X Carbon Twist Face also improves the acoustics – a common complaint with the original Stealth. View more details on Stealth 2 Drivers. Fairways Lowering the profile compared to the Stealth, the Stealth 2 Fairways feature optimized face thickness. And, with versatile design changes like Advanced Inverted Cone Technology and movable weight technologies, the... Read More

Ping G430 Woods/ Metals The new Ping G430 woods focus on delivering accurate longer distances. The new optimized face-design increases face flexing to gain that distance consistently. Drivers – The changes in the new G430 MAX, G430 SFT (straight-flight) and G430 LST (low spin) demand pairing with the optimal shaft because they differ from prior models. Swapping heads with your old shaft will likely not produce the performance improvement you want. Fairways – New Fairway Woods/Metals in the G430 series generate forgiving contact, increases in ball speed and higher ball flight. Players should look to match the Fairway models to driver models – MAX to MAX and SFT to SFT or LST. Hybrids – The new G430 Hybrids’ range of improvements to increase ball speed, launch trajectories and landing angles – all help you hold the green better. Schedule Wood Fitting | Learn More   Ping G430 Irons The new Ping G430 Irons are the result of a complex design that combines lower CG with stronger lofts and a thinner face. And by stronger lofts, we’re talking as much as 4 degrees. For example, the G430 6-iron is set to 25.5 degrees, 2.5 to 4.5 degrees stronger that lofts for... Read More

The new Ping G430 woods were designed to deliver accurate, longer distances. And, the new face-design increases face flexing to gain that distance more consistently. Learn more from Ping. Drivers Ping G430 Drivers are available in three models optimal for custom fitting.

The new Ping G430 Irons are the result of a complex design that combines lower CG with stronger lofts and a thinner face. An extra 2 mph of swing speed with a 6I can lead to an additional 3-5 yards of carry. And by stronger lofts, we’re talking as much as 4 degrees. For example, the G430 6-iron is set to 25.5 degrees, 2.5 to 4.5 degrees stronger that lofts for average golfers. Consistent with Ping’s focus on forgiveness, the new PurFlex cavity promotes face bending to ensure a desirable impact experience. The softer heat-treating process of the Hyper 17-4 stainless steel allows for the face-flexing and higher launch trajectories for steeper landing angles. Learn more from Ping. Ping G430 Irons Span 4-iron to 58-degree wedge A very comprehensive set, the Ping G430 irons features a wide span of clubs and lofts for today’s widest range of golfers. In particular, there are four lofted wedges between the 45.5 degree Utility Wedge and the 58 degree lob wedge. Conclusion: The Ping G430 irons demand a custom iron fitting Before you get overwhelmed by lofts and club numbers, clear your mind. Get started with a personalized, expert iron fitting. It is the...

Available only through custom clubfitters like D’Lance Golf, these shafts are highly customizable to meet today’s golfers most demanding needs. Lighter Weight of the Rifle Tour Flighted 105 Shafts Project X Rifle Tour Flighted 105 golf shafts come in three different weights.

R Flex – 107 grams – Built flexes from L+(3.5) to R+(5.5) S Flex – 108 grams – Built flexes from A+(4.5) to S(6.0) X Flex – 113 grams – Built flexes from R(5.0) to S+(6.5) Flight and Spin Characteristics The concept of “Tour Flighting” has been around for years. Most tour players like higher trajectory in their long irons (3,4,5) but more penetrating ball flight in their scoring irons (8,9,PW). That is exactly how the Project X Rifle Tour Flighted 105 irons are designed. In our testing, the difference is not dramatic but noticeable enough to give better stopping power on longer iron shots into a green. See full shaft specs. Flex Trajectory Spin R Flex Mid-High...

Titleist TSR Drivers were just recently released to the public after being released to tour players earlier this year. Titleist has made another jump in innovation – here are the three important things to know. First, the VFT (Variable Face Thickness) design featured in each model is designed to increase smash factor and consequently ball speed. Second, the new aerodynamic “boat tail” designs promise to increase club head speed just from the head alone. Plus, Titleist’s approach to MOI (moment of inertia) spans toe to heel and crown to sole. This approach is intended to help optimize spin and forgiveness at every hit. Learn more about MOI from Golf.com. Each of these innovations were applied to each model differently in an effort to cater to different player types.   How to Choose Titleist TSR Drivers If you’re a player looking for maximum forgiveness, think TSR2. For lower handicap players looking to increase ball speed through precision adjustments, think TSR3. For advanced players desiring a smaller, more compact head with multiple spin adjustments, think TSR4. Which driver is optimal for you? We recommend a personalized driver fitting of course.
