Bridgestone Golf Tour B Staff Bag (Signed by Bryson DeChambeau, Fred Couples, and Matt Kuchar) Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 12

This one speaks for itself.  A Bridgestone Tour B Staff bag signed by Bryson DeChambeau, Fred Couples, and Matt Kuchar.  It's glorious in every possible way, and it's going home to one of you in DAY 12 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

I showed you earlier today on twitter and Instagram that Santa dropped this bag off here for you this morning.  Apparently sprinkled some Northern Lights magic around it to protect from the snow.  And will include a few more pictures of it below for you.

Galvin Green Lake INTERFACE-1 (Limited Edition) Jacket Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 11

The Galvin Green name is synonymous with quality.  If you're looking at all-weather apparel, for rain, for wind, for cold and warm, Galvin Green is legendary for protection and comfort.  And the new Lake INTERFACE-1 Jacket lives up to their reputation delivering superior wind protection, breathability, and range of movement.  And while not insanely waterproof like their Gore-Tex pieces, Lake still repels water in steady showers to keep you dry through your entire round.

One of you is going to win your very own Lake Jacket, which is a Limited Edition by the way.  And you'll be able to choose whatever size you want (Lake is a proper fit, maybe a tad bigger than the Euro cut Galvin Green is also known for).  As we've been doing each day in my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway, I'll touch on some key points about the Lake for you, so you know more about what's coming in DAY 11.

Adidas TOUR360 XT SL Textile Golf Shoes Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 10

When Adidas launched the Tour360 XT SL golf shoes last year, it was the first time this model was released in a spikeless version.  And quite frankly it exceeded expectations of what I expect in a spikeless golf shoe.  So when Adidas announced the new Tour360 XT SL Textile this year, I had to wonder how they could have possibly improved on the original.

And they did.  Tour 360 XT SL Textile doesn't have wholesale changes from the original (which is a good thing).  But the small changes Adidas did make resulted in notable improvement in both breathability and feel, and even to some extent stability.  One of you will win your very own pair of Tour360 XT SL Textile in Day 10 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  And you can choose whatever color and style you want here.

Aldila ROGUE Black 130 Shaft Review: PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway BONUS GIVEAWAY

The Aldila name is one of the most iconic in all of golf.  And their Rogue line of shafts have won countless times on all professional Tours, including multiple major championships.  When you already design some of the best shafts in golf, there's usually not much room for wide-ranging innovation from one model to the next.  However the newest Aldila Rogue Black 130 takes the Rogue Black profile to even more revolutionary heights.

One of you will win a new raw, uncut Tour Issue Rogue Black 130 Shaft (choose TR 60, TS 60 or TX 70), and I'm going to hit on some of the differences between the old Rogue Black, as well as compare it to the new Rogue Silver 130 to help give you a better feel of some key performance characteristics.

Odyssey Triple Track 10 Putter Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 9

Any given week on Tour if you turn on Golf Channel or NBC you're seeing Odyssey putters in the winner's circle on a regular basis.  And at a growing rate these Odyssey putters are being used with Stroke Lab shafts.  This year the Triple Track line of putters incorporated the Stroke Lab tech, including the Triple Track 10 we're giving away (RH, 35") for DAY 9 in my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

I'll hit some of the key review highlights about Triple Track 10 below, and give you some comparisons to other Odyssey putters I've played in the past.  I can tell you right now however, Stroke Lab is legit (I have this shaft in a Toulon Chicago I also reviewed earlier this year for you guys), and Triple Track, while apparently simple at first blush, is actually quite brilliant.

Golf Pride MCC Teams Grips and PRO ONLY Cord Putter Grip Review: PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway BONUS GIVEAWAY

I probably have MCC grips on most of my iron sets, and have reviewed these for you already quite a few times on social.  But I'll touch on some key performance and feel aspects for you again here now since one of you is going to win your very own full set of MCC Teams grips (13) in red and gray (or scarlet and gray for you Buckeyes fans out there), and a PRO ONLY Cord Putter Grip (Red Star).

Naughty or Nice GIVEAWAY 1 (PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway): Tour Edge EXS 220 Driver Review

This Naughty or Nice giveaway might not be what it seems at first blush.  It's not exactly about whether you have been naughty or nice.  It's not about the gift itself being naughty or nice.  Naughty or Nice for this giveaway means no matter if you have a inconsistent (naughty swing) or a textbook smooth (nice swing), this club is going to work for all of you and give you exactly what you're looking for.

And that club is the Tour Edge EXS 220 Driver.  I first told you about EXS 220 in January at the PGA Show, and it was a Show headliner.  And taking it out on the course I can tell you it's a straighter hitting driver than the previous EXS (which was pretty forgiving in its own right), and also delivers impressive distance right up there with the big OEMs.

Cobra KING MIM Black Wedge Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 8

On full and partial shots from the fairways, bunkers, and rough, the new Cobra KING MIM Wedges are a triple threat.  The versatile grind and spin control give you all the options you need to pull off pretty much any shot you can imagine.

I reviewed the KING MIM ONE wedges for you guys here and on twitter and Instagram this year, but you'll be receiving the standard length, new black finish KING MIM 56 degree in Day 8 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  I'll hit on a few performance impressions for you here again so you know exactly what to expect when you put this in play.

Letters from Santa GIVEAWAY 3 (PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway): FootJoy HydroTour Rain Jacket

When Santa told me he was interested in having FootJoy design a special edition HydroTour Santa Suit for him it honestly didn't surprise me.  The HydroTour rain jacket I reviewed for you guys this year was the best FJ rain jacket I've ever worn, in every performance category.

And when Santa thinks as highly of something as he does HydroTour, you know it has to be in my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  So one of you will win a new HydroTour Rain jacket, whatever size and color you like.

Saturday, December 19, 2020

Wilson Staff Launch Pad Driver Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 7

The Wilson Staff Launch Pad driver is like a straighter more forgiving D7.  I've reviewed both of these drivers (along with the irons) this year, and this was one of the best in the game-improvement category.

Wilson does lightweight and easy to hit drivers as good (maybe even better) than anyone, and Launch Pad is their finest effort.  The face feels hotter than D7, and with even more forgiveness across a wider hitting area.  Compared to D7, Launch Pad spins less, has more offset, and does a great job closing the face.

Friday, December 18, 2020

Duca del Cosma Golf Shoes Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 6

I've been reviewing and telling you guys about Duca del Cosma golf shoes for awhile now.  The comfort is luscious.  Traction is outstanding.  And quality, materials, and workmanship are flat-out exceptional.

Duca has grown fast in the last few years, and just this month signed a six-time European Tour champion to wear it's hand-crafted, distinctive footwear.  They may have been flying under the radar before, but today Duca is a strong presence in the golf shoe game.  And one of you will receive Any Pair you want from their Entire 2020-2021 Collection.

Santa Emergency Holiday Stimulus Package GIVEAWAY (PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway): YEAR'S SUPPLY of Bridgestone Tour B Golf Balls

Having Santa work with me on my 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway this year has been more awesome than I'll ever be able to explain.  It's been a bit crazier for sure, but he's the King of Christmas spirit, and today Santa took it to an entirely new level.

Santa has approved an Emergency Holiday Stimulus Package for my 12 Days giveaway that will include a YEAR'S SUPPLY of Bridgestone Tour B golf balls!

Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange Shaft Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 5

The straightest and most stable shaft I played all year was the Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange.  In fact, it quickly became my favorite Tensi shaft of the many I've played over the years.

Consistent and tight dispersion without much deviation in distance and direction even on mishits.  Tensei AV Raw Orange is pretty much the driver whisperer on all kinds of mediocre shots.  It's really that good.

Letters from Santa GIVEAWAY 2 (PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway): COMPLETE OUTFIT of Travis Mathew Jacket, Shirt, Pants, Hat, and Cuater Golf Shoes, Belt, and Socks

FootJoy Pro SL and Pro SL Carbon Golf Shoes Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 3

FootJoy clearly never rests until their better is best, and refined changes to the Pro SL line of shoes in 2020 resulted in two different models that delivered big on performance and comfort.

I've reviewed the Pro SL and Pro SL Carbon for you guys here and on twitter and Instagram this year.  And like we've been doing for all these 12 Days, I'm going to hit on some review highlights to help you choose between the two.  You'll be able to choose either shoe in whatever color you want (that's in stock).

Letters from Santa GIVEAWAY 1 (PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway): Cleveland Golf RTX ZipCore Wedge

I told you guys this year's PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway was going to be wilder than ever.  And here's one of the big reasons why.  The Man in Red himself, Santa Claus is helping me out and recommending gifts to give you this year.

Santa and I have known each other a long time now, and he really digs the 12 Days.  This crazy idea all started last year when I was hanging out with SC at his house on Pebble Beach.  After my round there he asked me, "Pete, what do you think about making your 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway even bigger?"  He's Santa, so of course I listened.

Mizuno M Craft III Putter Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 2

In 2020 Mizuno introduced their new M-Craft putters to their line-up of golf clubs, and to say Mizuno nailed it with M Craft would be a ridiculous understatement.  They are some of the best putters you'll find anywhere on the market, and even some of the best clubs in any club category.

I've reviewed a few M-Craft putters for you guys here and on twitter and Instagram this year.  And the M Craft III (mid-mallet) in White Satin finish is up for grabs in DAY 2 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  Like we'll do for all these 12 Days I'm going to hit on some review highlights, but suffice to say M-Craft is as trustworthy as it is lustworthy.

Saturday, December 12, 2020

Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x, AVX Balls Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 1

Pro V1 and Pro V1x are the sexy names in Titleist's ball line-up, but the AVX is every bit as much a ball without compromise designed to lower your scores.

I've reviewed all three balls for you guys here and on twitter and Instagram this year, but since one of you is getting two dozen of these in DAY 1 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway, I thought I'd help you choose by hitting some of the key differences among them.

The Cleveland CBX 2 changed the golf industry’s approach to wedge design.

That’s why the Cleveland CBX 2 is a forgiving, cavity back wedge built with the everyday player in mind. It features tour wedge technologies that you would expect from Cleveland Golf, but it is loaded with forgiveness so everyone can take advantage of those developments in design. With the addition of the Black Satin finish, players can upgrade their style points on the course as well.

Hello, friends!  Augusta National and Magnolia Lane will have more intrigue than ever this week with The Masters moved to November and subtle signs of fall all over the perfectly manicured grounds.  Tiger is the defending champion for the first time since 2006.  J.T., Rory, and D.J., are still looking to add a green jacket to their resumes.  And everyone is wondering can Bryson overpower Augusta like he did Winged Foot to win the U.S. Open?

With so many mesmerizing storylines, it's only fitting my Masters giveaway should be equally epic.  And it's going to be.  Beginning on Monday of Masters week, we'll have seven consecutive days of new giveaways each day.  And the prizes are filled to the brim with awesome for this 84th Masters.
