FULL FAT please

Advantages: feel, accuracy, distance
Disadvantages: none yet

...several years ago now that Wilson developed the new Fat Shaft technology. I thought at first that it made so much sense that the other manufacturers would follow suit but that was not the case, however, I still like the idea and it has helped my game (I keep thinking about that old saying - a bad workman always blames his tools?!) I have been playing golf for 6 years and recently swapped my first set, bought for my by my hubby for a new set of Wilson ...
...I believe that the Wilson Fat Shaft technology has the right idea for these clubs. With club head sizes increasing over the years, it makes sense to increase the shaft diameter producing less torque which means less twisting which means greater accuracy. A fatter shaft results in significanlty larger tip diameter, depending on the type of clubs. Wilson Fat Shaft iron's tip diameter is, .500", Hyper Carbon Graphites .535" (compared to the standard ...

Review of Wilson Fat Shafts Irons

Stay on the Fairway with Deep Red

Advantages: Good Price. Accuracy.
Disadvantages: Take some getting used to the distance

...look classy. They have got deep cavity heads with a nice red urethane insert in the head. I hadn’t set out to get these irons but there was a promotion day down at my local driving range and they had reps from Titelist, Callaway, Ping and Wilson there. It was one of those days where all the range balls were free; you just had to try out the different clubs. Bargain. I must have spent about 2 hours at the range that day, I tried all the different ...
...on tour who promotes Wilson deep red is Padraig Harrington. He uses his own customised set of Wilson clubs. After a wait of about 2 - 3 weeks for my clubs to come "custom fit" from the Wilson factory, I finally got chance to try out the whole set. The first thing that I noticed between these and my old set was the distances were completely different. This alone took a good couple of months getting used to. So don't expect immediate results. But ...

Review of Deep Red Irons

Callaway Big bertha irons

Advantages: Very Very forgiving/ideal for an improving player
Disadvantages: None to speak of,maybe the lack of a 3 iron

Why I Bought them I picked these clubs up recently at a pro shop, they had just been traded in and in excellent condition. I have just returned to the game after a 10 year absence and decided that a quality club would get me back on track. I play at around the 95 to 100 mark so I really am a less than average golfer so i can only comment on what feels good to me as a novice. First Go with them I took them along to my lesson and the instructor ...
...miles" was the quote. He was spot on I couldn't believe the improvement, I have always struggled to hit long irons...... not anymore. The grips were lovely and the markings on them really helped me to get you set up . The first few strikes of the ball were a bit nervy then I found myself swinging easy and really catching the ball sweet. I went from around the 130/35 yard mark with the 7 iron to well over the 150 and maybe pushing 160 in a half hour ...

Review of Callaway Mens Big Bertha Pro Series X-12 Irons

A set to suit everyone's game.....

Advantages: Perfect for mid-to-high handicappers
Disadvantages: Looks

...I purchased a set of Mizuno MX-17 (steel) irons in April 2005 for £349, replacing my ageing Progen's that had never really done me justice. At first I thought that the Mizunos were slightly expensive, however after my first practice I could see why Mizuno had such a good reputation as iron-makers and so believed that the price was adequate. There was also the possibility of alternatively buying graphite shafts for £469 but I have always thought steel ...
...The long irons (3-6) feature a huge cavity pocket and low centre of gravity which provides a solid contact all over the club head, so making them extremely forgiving on mishits. With my Progens the long irons were always very hard to hit and there was never room for misjudegement. But with the Mizuno's, if you are slightly off the sweet spot the ball still goes straight. The short irons (7-PW) are of a more solid construction with weight higher up ...

Review of Mizuno MX-17 Iron

Did my getting off the tee improve with the Callaway FT-IQ

Advantages: gain extra yardage from tee, easy to hit off the deck, looks good
Disadvantages: pricey and sound puts people off

Yes it did , i was in the pro shop about six months ago and the pro was telling me about one of the square drivers that i had been wanting to try, god is that the price of it i said, but he talked me into taking it out for a trial, it took me a few holes to get used to the address of the club head but when i started outdriving my playing partners i was hooked, But the price was the main thing putting me off, so i tryed out a number of similar clubs ...
