One of my career highlights has to have been covering the Masters and then getting to play the sacred Augusta National course on the following Monday.
To date, my best ever round of golf is a 5-under 67 with a bogey at the last! Looking to replenish your stock of golf balls? Black Friday is a great time to take advantage of the best golf ball deals We take a closer look at the best golf waterproofs currently on the market.

England and Wales company registration number The short irons feature a cast stainless steel body and face insert, while the pitching wedge and gap wedge are a solid stainless steel casting. Compared to the long and mid-irons, the scoring clubs have some distance characteristics but are designed to offer more feel and control. Titleist's CB remains a better player option for the single-digit handicapper, but over the last few years, the company's engineers have found ways to significantly boost forgiveness without moving away from the thin topline, compact profile and minimal offset that have become iron staples.
Forged from carbon steel, the long and mid irons employ a 2. Tungsten was added to the corners of the clubhead with CB to increase forgiveness and improve stability, but a stainless steel cap was used for the co-forging process. That process has been altered this year with the help of a nickel-infused tungsten cap that encases the high-density tungsten weight in the heel and toe.
The new cap places an even larger concentration of tungsten along the perimeter. On average, Along with improving forgiveness, placing additional tungsten in each head gets the center of gravity position closer to the middle of the face, which helps with consistent distance on off-center strikes.
Positioning the tungsten lower in the long and mid-iron heads also makes it possible to achieve faster ball speeds and a higher launch for more distance. The 8-iron through pitching wedge in the set are forged from one piece of carbon steel and have a similar cavity-back design, without the tungsten in the heel and toe. With the second iteration, engineers concentrated on improving the face construction in an effort to squeeze even more distance out of the fast-face player iron.
The hot face wraps under the leading edge and enlarges the sweet spot while encouraging the head to flex more effectively at impact for improved ball speeds. The material that was used for the body of the long and mid irons enabled engineers to cram an average of With the 8-iron through pitching wedge, each head is cast from and features a stainless steel insert.
Roughly 49 grams of high-density tungsten was added to the toe of the 8- and 9-irons. All of the irons in the set have a pre-worn leading edge that was rounded to improve the way the club goes through the turf at impact.
The traditional MB muscleback iron was used by Justin Thomas to win the PGA Championship, and features the fewest bells and whistles in the lineup. But forgiveness isn't the name of the game with MB; it's all about providing a level of workability and control that's unrivaled in the lineup. The one-piece, carbon-steel-forged iron was created with feedback from Thomas, Jimmy Walker, Webb Simpson and others. As you'd expect with a iron that's designed for elite golfers, there was very little that needed to be altered with the profile and overall performance.
The MB has a slightly different look than the MB, but Talge said the changes were purely cosmetic and don't affect feel and performance. They like it the way it is and don't want significant changes. With a thin topline and narrow sole that features a pre-worn leading edge for improved turf interaction, the MB is an iron for the equipment purist who likes the look of a classic blade with minimal badging.
Products Pro V1. December 29, at PM Hi, I am stuck between AP1, or AP2 or mixed set, I am a 12 handicap, but I have a solid swing that looks like it belongs more to a 5 handicap, I am a good ballstriker most of the time and my current flight is a medium draw, I rarely take a divot because I sweep the ball, I also hit the ball far for both my age and handicap Although I like the AP2's a lot, I am 15yrs old and have to pay for my own Irons so the AP1's being cheaper might be a better deal.
