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.

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.

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

Yup.  Seven total pieces.  And you get to pick whatever Travis Mathew jacket, shirt, pants, hat, and Cuater golf shoes, belt, and socks that you want.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align Grips and PRO ONLY Cord Putter Grip Review: 2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 4

It's won countless major championships.  It's the most popular model in their line-up.  And more than 80-percent of players on Tour use this brand, and aren't even under contract or endorsed to do so.

Of course I'm talking about Golf Pride grips and their Tour Velvet model.  These are grips that are exceptionally comfortable and perform dependably in both dry and wet conditions.  And one of you is going to win a Full Set of 13 Tour Velvet Align grips, and also the new PRO ONLY Cord putter grip in DAY 4 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

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.

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.

2020 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway

I have to be honest with you guys.  As much as you love my annual PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway, I think I might love it even more.  Getting everything ready for you and planning it all so it's wildly fun and exciting for everyone puts me on a 12 day adrenaline rush that pretty much leaves me running on fumes by end of year.

Cleveland Golf Unveils New CBX 2 Black Satin Wedges

Golfers have come to love the Cleveland CBX 2 wedge for its combination of spin, control and forgiveness. There’s even more to love with the addition of the stylish, all-new Black Satin finish. The Cleveland CBX 2 Black Satin officially launches in North America on December 18, 2020.

The Cleveland CBX 2 changed the golf industry’s approach to wedge design. For far too long, wedges have been designed for the world’s best players at the expense of the everyday golfers who define the sport. 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.
