TaylorMade R11S Fairway Wood Review

March 06, 2012 at 2:54 AM in Golf by Blog about levina

The TaylorMade R11 S Fairway Wood allows you to dial in your distance. This is acheived by adjusting the loft up or down (?1?) with Flight Control Technology (FCT) and changing the face angle (?2?) and the spin rate (up to 500 RPM?) to the desired settings. The deeper face and lower center of gravity creates an easier launch and the white crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top.

 

TaylorMade have introduced their new R11S fairway wood to their range for the new season, and it comes with the promise of even more adjustability than the previous R11 product.

The 2011 R11 featured Adjustable Sole Plate Technology and Flight Control Technology which allowed golfers to adjust loft and face angle independently, and while this remains in the new model the FCT has more to it this time around. In fact, golfers can increase or decrease the loft by 1.5?.

In a dramatic twist, TaylorMade engineers have also moved the centre of gravity in the fairway wood forward - the big story in recent years is about manufacturers moving the CG lower and deeper, but TaylorMade say that by keeping TaylorMade R11 S Fairway Wood low but at the same time moving it closer to the face the fairway wood offers lower spin rates while maintaining a high launch.

 

The white crown helps to make the clubhead appear larger, giving you more confidence at address.

Tiger still eyeing the Bear's record

March 06, 2012 at 2:49 AM in Golf by Blog about levina

 Although Tiger Woods hasn't won a full-field Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons tournament in two years, he hasn't given up on his dream of beating Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 Major titles.

On Tuesday Woods told the media ahead of his first tee-off in almost 20 years at this week's the Honda Classic at the PGA Tour's headquarters in Florida that his dream in 1993 hasn't change.

He was only 17 on the last occasion that he contested the Honda Open, but even then he already had dreams of one day matching and bettering the Golden Bear's magnificent mark.

He still does now, despite the various problems that have plunged him into the deepest and longest slump in his Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons career. .

"It's going to take an entire career to do it and that's something I knew starting out," said Woods who had already chalked up 14 majors when his nocturnal activities outside his marriage engulfed him in a major scandal late in 2009, after which a serious knee injury and a swing change saw his long-time World No 1 ranking slide into the 30s and 40s as victory continued to evade him.

"I was lucky enough to have won my first major as a pro (the 1997 Masters) and it's taken me, what, 16 years to get to this point.

"So it's going to take a while yet. It didn't take Jack overnight to get to 18."

It in fact took Nicklaus 24 years, from the 1962 US Open until the 1986 Masters which he won at the age of 46, and Woods added: "The whole idea is getting consistent and putting myself up there enough times.

"Nobody in the history of the Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons has been better at putting themselves in contention to win a major than Jack. When you finish with 37 top twos you've got to be pretty good.

"That's what it takes. You're not going to win all of them, but you can always be there and you never know when someone might give you one or two."

This season's opening major, The Masters at Augusta National, is only five weeks away and Woods has several questions to answer ahead of it.

His poor putting so far this year, must be the first of them.( Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons)

Last week it cost him his match against fellow American Nick Watney at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and in his two tournaments before that he started well, but the ruthless closer of old simply couldn't do it this time, again partly because of his indecisive putting.

His answer? "Now that I've got the full swing where I like to have it I can spend the majority of my time chipping and putting," he said.

"That's where I know that I've been lacking in my Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons and where I've seen the biggest improvement lately too, which is good.

"I spent about almost four hours the other day putting, just going back to my old basics that my dad taught me.

"When I looked at the (video) tapes I could see I had gotten away from some of those things.

My posture was off, the way the Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons was releasing was off.

Day could miss Open Championship

February 20, 2012 at 3:28 AM in Golf by Blog about levina

Day, the World No 7, and his wife Ellie are expecting their first child on July 11, just one week before Royal Lytham St. Annes will host the third major of the year, the 141st Open Championship. Mizuno JPX 800 Irons

 

"If the baby is coming that week, I will definitely be missing the British Open," Day said.

 

"There is no way I will miss the birth of my first child. Golf is one thing but family is everything to me.

 

"Golf isn't going to be there if I break my leg or if I lose the plot and forget how to swing a Mizuno JPX 800 Irons  - my family will be there. It's family first every time."

 

Day is currently in Los Angeles, where he is preparing for his season debut on the PGA Tour at this week's Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club.

 

The Aussie hit the headlines in 2011 for his runner-up finishes at the Masters and the US Open, while solid showings at the Australian Open and PGA Championship later in the year helped to further boost his world ranking.

 

A runner-up finish in Qatar a few weeks ago saw him move up to seventh in the world - a career high for the 24-year-old.

 

Day's first big victory can't be far away, but he's even more excited at the prospect of the birth of his first child. Mizuno JPX 800 Irons

 

"I am a little nervous and a little scared but, obviously, also thrilled," he said.

 

"It's our first baby so I don't know what to expect but it's very very exciting.

 

"I have talked to a lot of people and they say it changes you for the good but I don't know how Mizuno JPX 800 Irons will change me yet.

Clarke enlists stand-in caddie

February 20, 2012 at 3:24 AM in Golf by Blog about levina

Darren Clarke has announced that caddie Paul Morbey is set to start carrying his bag - albeit on a temporary basis.Titleist - 712 AP2 Forged Irons

 

Clarke recently parted company with John Mulrooney, the man with whom he won the Open Championship last year, after a lengthy run of poor form that has seen him unable to register a top-10 finish since that famous victory at Sandwich and slump to 54th in the world rankings.

 

Despite their earlier success together, the duo have not been a match made in heaven. Titleist - 712 AP2 Forged Irons

 

Mulrooney nearly got fired the week before the Open after the two got into a serious disagreement on the final day of the Scottish Open. They also fought at last October's Grand Slam Championship in Bermuda.

 

Clarke's missed cut in Abu Dhabi a few weeks ago courtesy of a second-round 81 seems to have been the final straw, and it led to Mulrooney being let go.

 

Morbey, who enjoyed huge success with former Masters champion Ian Woosnam, will team up with Clarke on a temporary basis starting with next week's Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona.

Cabrera-Bello earns Match Play call-up(2)

February 16, 2012 at 3:33 AM in Golf by Blog about levina

Second place in the event for the third time in his career was still good enough to take Westwood back to second in the world rankings, the Englishman squeezing past Rory McIlroy, who came joint fifth in Dubai, by 0.004 points. Titleist Studio Select Kombi Putter

 

McIlroy and Westwood had much to ponder at the end of the circuit's three-week Middle East swing.

 

McIlroy, the reigning US Open champion, lost by one to England's Robert Rock in Abu Dhabi after a two-shot penalty in the second round for brushing sand away that was not on the green.

 

He then led at halfway in Dubai last week, but fell back.

 

"I'm a little disappointed considering the Titleist Studio Select Kombi Putter I was in going into the weekend, but I can't be that disappointed," he said.

 

"I'm pleased with how I hit the ball and that's very positive to take into the next few weeks," he said, perhaps buoyed by the fact that he finished with four birdies in his last nine holes.

 

Westwood, in the meantime, missed a succession of chances on Sunday, but while that should annoy him he also knows the big tournaments this season are all still to come.

 

Both will be in action next at the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, where Westwood has yet to make Titleist Studio Select Kombi Putter past the second round in 11 attempts.

 

McIlroy made the quarter-finals on debut three years ago.
