admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:59:52 +0000

2012 looks like it may be the year of true distance gains through technology in fairway woods and now hybrids. Adams introduced velocity slot technology in their fairway woods in 2011. The new Adams Idea Super XTD Hybrid takes velocity slot technology and also combines multi-material brazed construction to combine a one piece titanium crown and face with a stainless steel sole. By incorporating both of these technologies in the Idea Super XTD Hybrid, Adams is able to achieve a CT similar to a driver and also a low center of gravity. The result is the Adams Idea Super XTD Hybrid is the most advanced and hottest hybrids available.

In releasing the Idea Super XTD Hybrid, Tim Reed, Vice President of R&D for Adams Golf, says ”The unconventional, spare no expense, approach we used in our Super XTD line will wow golfers with unmatched performance. We are extremely excited to give the most discerning golfers the best performing clubs with this lineup.” said Tim Reed, Vice President of R&D for Adams Golf.

TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Wood

admin — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:09:37 +0000

A significant amount of buzz has surrounded the new TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Wood. Specifically it has to do with the incredible distance everyone is experiencing. The feedback and reports we have seen are real world results, not just smoke an mirrors. The RocketBallz Fairway Wood is so long, we’re expecting a lot of players to take advantage of the HL 3w (17*) option that TaylorMade is offering. This HL version will be perfect for players who want to get a higher softer landing trajectory, and yet the RocketBallz will most likely still be longer than your previous 15* fairway wood.

So what is the secret to the distance? TaylorMade has incorporated a few technologies to create the extremely hot RocketBallz Fairway Wood. The first and most visual is the Speed Pocket on the sole. To incorporate this Speed pocket, and create a playable club with low CG, TaylorMade RocketBallz fairway woods were developed with a high-strength 455 steel face plate welded to a cast body. They incorporate improved sole geometry and a “Speed Pocket” to improve overall head and face flexibility and a.slightly deeper face with a further-forward CG location than traditional designs. The shape of the head is a little more traditional then the Burner SuperFast 2.0, yet it uses the same matte white fisish on the crown, along with a black PVD face for optimum contract which makes it easier to align at address.

2011 was definitely the year of the R11 Driver. We would not be surprised if 2012 was the year of the RocketBallz Fairway Wood. Check out this video and see the response from Tour Pro after hitting the RocketBallz Fairway Wood.
