By Staff

Driver Tech 101

High M.O.I. Rules

By Scott Kramer   

Driver Tech 101You can tell by looking at the latest square and triangular clubheads that the driver market is changing before your eyes. Other new drivers look conventionally shaped on the outside, but are vastly advanced on the inside. Regardless of their shape, most of the latest models look plain huge. Ever since the United States Golf Association ruled that driver clubheads had to max out at a 460cc clubhead volume, club designers have taken the next obvious route in order to improve their products’ performance in your hands: advancing technology.

Balls Buyer's Guide 2007

We’re not talking range balls, Wiffle balls or those limited-flight Cayman balls either. We’re talking golf balls—the kind that go too far and spin too much.

By Staff   
Balls Buyer's Guide 2007No, it’s not the surface of the moon (left), it’s a super-close-up shot of a golf ball. In golf’s modern era, the small, round dimpled orbs that fill the pockets of your golf bags are truly the sum of their parts. From the materials that make up their covers to how it’s filled inside, a golf ball’s composition greatly affects its behavior on the course.

Fairway Woods Buyer's Guide 2007

Whether it’s a fairway wood or hybrid, knowing what club to hit depends on what clubs are in your bag

By Staff   
Fairway Woods Buyer's Guide 2007It doesn’t matter if it’s a long par-3, a short par-4 or a reachable par-5, making the right shot choice first depends on having the right clubs to choose from. Today, fairway woods have become longer, bigger and more powerful than ever, and hybrids, on the other hand, have become more specific, acting as either long-iron replacements or high-lofted fairway-wood replacements. The key is to begin analyzing your current set makeup in order to determine what’s missing. Need a club that goes 215 yards and stops on a dime? How about a 3-wood that flies almost as far as your driver, albeit a lot straighter? Maybe both? Discerning your needs is crucial to hitting better shots. And with today’s models, it’s hard to go wrong.

Wedges Buyer's Guide 2007

Known as the most versatile club in the bag, the wedge is a bona fide score saver

By Staff   
Wedges Buyer's Guide 2007There’s a reason why the distance from within 100 yards is called the scoring zone. It’s the “make it or break it” area, where a great wedge shot can redeem a bad drive or poor approach to the green. Any miscue from this zone is considered an unforced error that should have been avoided (especially from the fairway). So, what’s that mean? Choosing the right wedges can be the difference between one or more strokes on any given hole! To start, it’s important to find a wedge that matches your needs, and luckily, if you’re in the market for game-improvement models, ’07 is chockfull of new choices.

Sole Patrol
The wider the sole, the less the club digs into the ground, making it easier to get the ball out of thick rough and sand. As for the angle of the sole relative to the ground, that’s called the “bounce angle.” High bounce angles work well in soft areas and vice versa.

Shoes Buyer's Guide 2007

What you wear on your feet can make a huge difference in not only how comfortable you are, but also how powerful a swing you can make

By Staff   

Shoes Buyer's Guide 2007The soles of today’s top golf shoes have not only superb gripping capabilities, but also integrated webs and channels to whisk away water and debris for a steady grip. Better yet, most golf shoes resemble running shoes from the bottom, replete with a two-pod sole for a more effective weight transfer into the ball.

Grips Buyer's Guide 2007

Despite all the technology in the clubhead and shaft, it’s the grip that’s really come a long way.

By Staff   
Grips Buyer's Guide 2007 Can You Handle It?
Grips have certainly come a long way. In fact, the new grips for ‘07 are more colorful and more functional than ever, thanks mostly to a handful of new material innovations that double as a fashion statement and a competitive advantage. Several models include multi-density rubbers and polymers that lend comfort, strength and tackiness where it’s needed most. Also, they’ve gotten a lot more durable and hold up better in the rain. Check out what’s new, and don’t hesitate when it comes time to put them on all your clubs. It’s a must-do every season.
