Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange Shaft Review

Higher launch and lower spin are the magic words to get the most bang from your driver, and it's been bombs away for me with the new Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange shaft.

Tensei AV Raw Orange is a counterbalanced shaft (with more weight in the butt section, but actually has an evenly balanced (almost linear, one-piece) feeling, and is extremely stable.  It's still a stout feeling, but a smoother stout and not boardy feeling at all.

Toue Edge Exotics EXS Pro Hybrid Review

The new Tour Edge EXS Pro hybrid is the kind of hybrid you can call on to hit any shot you want.

Fantastic versatility with nothing sacrificed in performance.  It's a perfect face height to use off tee or from fairway. From the rough it rips through the grass, and the ball screams off the face.  And I've even used it with pretty good success chipping off greens.

Callaway Big Bertha B21 Driver Review

The slice.  It chips away at your dignity.  You step into the tee box hoping for a ray of sunshine, but instead experience another power outage.  The slice is an epidemic.  Or at least it used to be.

Callaway's new Big Bertha B21 driver takes away the right side as well or better than any anti-slice driver I've ever hit or tested.  And I tested B21 hard.  Poor grip, chicken wing, over the top, and deliberately open face,  B21 turned all these slice swings into very playable, and surprisingly long drives.

Titleist Tour Speed Golf Ball Review

For some golfers the new Titleist Tour Speed golf balls will be close to or even better performing than the Pro V1 or AVX.  Yes, you read that correctly.  And at an even lower price comparatively, Tour Speed is going to be incredibly appealing.

Tour Speed is not a replacement for Pro V1 or AVX, and honestly I'm not sure where Tour Speed fits in the Titleist line up.  In some ways Tour Speed will be a better ball for certain kinds of performance.  In other ways, the Pro V and AVX line-up remains king.  I've played and tested Tour Speed for about a month now, and here's how they all stack up on a variety of tee-to-green shots.

Cobra Golf Unveils New KING Tour Irons with MIM Technology

COBRA® Golf, a leader in golf club innovation, unveiled today the new KING TOUR Irons,which expand its KING family of players’ irons.  A tour cavity back shape is manufactured using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology to deliver the most precise shaping with incredibly soft feel that better players desire.  Building off the popularity of its KING MIM Wedges, COBRA is applying MIM Technology to a full set of irons for the first time and reinventing the way premium irons are designed and manufactured.

MIM manufacturing produces a more precise finished product utilizing fewer steps and minimal hands-on post-process polishing, unlike traditional forging and casting processes.  Each iron head is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is then heated and injected into a mold.  During the sintering process, the metal is heated to a higher temperature than forgings (1340°C vs. 1200°C), resulting in a tighter-aligned grain structure that delivers the highest level of precision and soft feel, rivaling that of carbon steel forgings. The final step is hand-polishing to deliver the perfect satin finish. While many forgings require moderate polishing to remove excess materials, MIM technology requires only subtle polishing to ensure the shape is consistent from set to set.

Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro Blade Wedge Review

We see it every week on Tour.  Players hitting wedges to spots with surgical precision.  Holing out from greenside locations with abracadabra ease.  And putting spin on shots that make the ball look like a Yoyo trick.

Swing technique of course goes a long way in pulling off these shots.  But make no mistake about it, all wedges are not created equal.  And even in the hands of less skilled golfers, the new Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro Blade Wedges make a strong case to be considered among the best in class for overall performance.
