Four New Balls Round Out the Titleist Line
Don’t underestimate the importance of finding – and using – the right ball for your game. These four new offerings from Titleist might just make that search a little more difficult, but also a little more worthwhile. And for those colour laden iconoclasts the fact that these new rocks will also be available in yellow should make you about as happy as finding a PRO V. One man’s loss is another man’s gain.

Titleist Extends the 910 Family
When we think of Titleist, we think of a company that caters to the ‘better’ player. The low handicapper. The serious golfer. And no, this is not changing, however the company is realizing that there are some serious players out there with moderate swing speeds, so … they are tapping that market with a few additional loft options to help those players optimize launch angles and gain that all important little extra carry. In addition... [Read More...]
New Look for Scotty Cameron California Series
More California love from master putter designer Scotty Cameron. Inspired by some of his original designs, the California series is made for those who play more by ‘feel’ than by mechanics. If it looks good. And it feels good. Then there’s a good chance it is … good. Almost makes one want to take more putts. Or should we say, make more putts. Full release below: New Finish, Model Line-up, Shape and Blend Refinements... [Read More...]
Next Generation of Titleist AP Irons
Coming from a person who still battles with blades (690MB), it is probably time to seriously look at adding a little extra forgiveness, without sacrificing performance. A few cavities (when it comes to golf) just seem to make too much sense nowadays. The last generation of the AP line tested very well – we’ll have a chance to hit these newest iterations in early October. Can’t say we’re early fans of the added ‘design... [Read More...]
New Wedges From Vokey
The best piece of advice we can provide here is to do exactly what Bob Vokey himself told us do – which is the same thing ever single touring pro does – pick one up hold it in the address position and from there, and only there, can you choose the wedge that works for you. Editor’s aside: three of Bob’s wedges are in the bag right now – and all three are the 200 series. Sometimes it’s easier to trust what you... [Read More...]
Take Off Eh
It’s only a drawing at this point, but so were the plans to bring the Jets back to Winnipeg. Let’s just hope it takes a little less than 15 years to get these into production. And where are the matching toques? All we’ll say here is that our last golfing trip to the Peg was perhaps our most memorable. A round at Shooters followed by more than a few more at Cowboys … need we say more (again). Go Jets Go! AKPC_IDS += "8774,"; Read More →
Fila and Group Purchase Acushnet
For those interested, it’s looks to be official – another major North American brand will be controlled offshore / overseas / somewhere other than where it was born. The ‘story’ – essentially press release is here, there or everywhere on the world wide retweet. Not sure it will have any real impact to the consumer – at lease in the short term (which in big corporate business is 2-5 years). But we always tend... [Read More...]
Following the 910 Series Driver Comes Fairways and Hybrids
At the risk of sounding old fashioned, there just seems to be something viscerally iconic when it comes to power, speed, metal, man and the colour black. So for those of you who still like to take a little ‘mean’ out there with you onto the course, the 910 fairways and hybrids from Titleist pack loads of technology into that same intimidating design punch as the previously released 910 drivers. And, let us not forget, all of the modern... [Read More...]
Tour Proven 910 Series from Titleist
Looks like the 910 Series from Titleist is finally here – well at least will be available shortly – and that’s none too soon for those of us who have been impatiently waiting and watching as these clubs amassed a fair share of success with players out on tour. We like the new colour – a shade darker, a shade more aggressive. Adjustability never hurts. Just about the only downside is that there could in fact be snow on the... [Read More...]

Notebook: Bob Vokey
When it comes to to wedges there are few names, if any, that are as synonymous with the product line as Mr. Bob Vokey. Roger Cleveland comes to mind even though he is now casting and grinding over at Callaway. We’ve chatted with Roger previously in the notebook, so it was nice to also get to spend a few minutes with another wedge guru and fellow Canadian (born in Montreal) Bob Vokey. Bob took some time out his busy schedule to chat with... [Read More...]
