MACGREGOR NVG2 IRONS
MacGregor made headlines in early 2007 when the company announced that Greg Norman had
become a “significant” equity investor. At the same time, the new NVG2 irons were revealed,
and company spokesmen described Greg Norman’s surprise when he put the new NVG2 irons in
his bag and gained 17 yards with his long and mid irons. MacGregor has undergone a reinvention
over the last few years. The company which defined “forged in America” has come to represent
the latest in Japanese design concepts. The NVG2 Mid Irons are examples of the Japanese
influence in current MacGregor design. The NVG2 irons are long from heel to toe. They are constructed
in a hollow design with tungsten weighting low in the clubhead. |
They have consistently strong lofts, delivering extra length club per club. Although they were originally designed for mid
and high handicap golfers, they have gained interest from low index players who want forgiveness and extra distance. www.macgregorgolf.com.
NIKE GOLF SV BLACK SATIN TOUR WEDGE
|
Nike Golf caused all of the early buzz about golf clubs this year with
its radical drivers, SUMO and SUMO2. What is not so well known is
that Nike Golf is making headway with irons, having secured more
professional tour wins this year than any other irons. And the new
wedges promise to be just as successful. Nike Golf chose the ING
Spring Conference at the Turning Stone Resort recently to showcase
the new SV Black Satin Tour Wedge. The SV wedge was designed
with the help of Nike’s Tour Staff. The black satin finish is favored by
PGA Tour Professionals to eliminate the possibility of sunlight reflection
in the heat of battle. The SV Black Satin Tour Wedge comes in a
range of specifications including lofts of 52, 56 and 60 degrees, with
various degrees of bounce. The range of options accommodates
players who encounter varied conditions at their home and tournament
courses. www.nikegolf.com. |
TAYLOR MADE - ADIDAS GOLF BURNER DRIVER |
|
When TaylorMade-Adidas Golf introduced not one, but two, new drivers at this year’s PGA
Merchandise Show, the message went something like this: 1) If you are a precision-oriented
strategist on the golf course, play the r7 SuperQuad; 2) If you are a grip it and rip it kind of
guy, the Burner or Burner TP is for you. And while the SuperQuad has become the more well
known of the two, thanks in great part to its r7 Quad predecessor, the Burner just might be the
better choice for most golfers. The clubhead (lighter than most) is large, but in an elongated
way. The bullet-like shape places the center of gravity well behind the sweet spot, which
produces a high launch angle and terrific ball speed, even on off-center hits. The technology
along with the unique line design atop the Burner clubhead delivers a feeling of confidence
that allows the golfer to, well, grip it and rip it. www.tmag.com. |
