Advantages: Well balanced handling, hugely versatile, excellent residuals Disadvantages: Expensive to buy, not as big as some might hope
economy and lower list prices, but the 138bhp diesel tested here is definitely not short on real-world performance.
Many testers have criticised the 2.0 litre oil-burner, but in the Golf it seems considerably less coarse than in many of the cars the engine has been donated to since its release. In fact, it makes a pretty nice noise for a diesel.
Although below 1500rpm there's very little power available, as soon as the turbo boost arrives it pulls very strongly in the lower half of the six-speed gearbox, and still manages a convincing stab at fourth and fifth. Sixth is an ideal cruising gear, letting the GT pull a lazy but economical 1600rpm on A-road cruises.
Its steering is well-weighted if not especially precise, and combined with an ideally-positioned gearstick the GT Sport is good fun to drive, particularly considering it ...
Advantages: Comfortable, waterproof, stylish, good grip. Disadvantages: Make sure you break them in properly before you hit the golf course!
to be working well, as I have no pains in the balls of my feet, a common problem with golfers that I've suffered from for years.
They use a dualgrip system called "Z - Traction", which means that as well as the regular cleats, they also have "Z" grooves in the rubber soles, which supposedly give you extra grip. (It seems to work fine, so who am I to argue?)
The other worry that I had was that they wouldn't be able to stand up to the vagaries of the Irish weather, and that a good proportion of the copious amounts of rain we get here in the Emerald Isle would find its way inside the shoe, and that my feet would be permanently sopping! (Not advisable) I needn't have worried. They are every bit as good as my Footjoys at keeping out the old H2O; in fact, Adidas are so sure of their waterproof qualities that they give you a one year ...
Advantages: Good in all weathers Disadvantages: None of such
Many players overlook the importance of grips on their golf clubs. Although the thickness of the grip can be tailored from any brand, the quality of the grip varies imensely. The Softie Cord has all the advantages of a cord grip, such as long being lasting yet with a 'soft' feel. For those players who usually go for a regular cord grip, the 'softie' version is a good step up and can be used in all weathers, unlike some cheaper versions. The feel is good and the price is competitive. I would recommend that players change their grips regularly, and for those who appreciate quality, the "GolfPride Players Softie Cord" could be perfect. Always try before buying, but regripping my entire golf clubs with these grips (I play off 7) has made me feel more confident and improved my scores. The grip is relatively expensive compared to competitiors ...
