Filling My Bag: Titleist

Filling My Bag: Titleist

Titleist has the biggest footprint on the PGA Tour. Whether you’re talking, drivers, wedges, putters, or balls, Titleist has more than it’s fair share of pros bagging their gear. With all the tour success, it’s no wonder that Titleist is billed as the pro’s club, or at the very least, the manufacturer of [...]

Filling My Bag: Mizuno

Filling My Bag: Mizuno

In many ways Mizuno looks like Nike’s little brother (a multi-national, sporting goods power house, whose product lineups extend well beyond the white stakes of your home course). In the US anyway, the Nike name is more well known, but let’s face it, big brother is still relatively new to the game. In [...]

Filling My Bag: TaylorMade

Filling My Bag: TaylorMade

This WhatTheDeuce 2008 gear guide for TaylorMade is going to be vastly different than what we’ve done so far. We can’t really delve into new for ‘08 equipment because, well, with a couple of very notable exceptions (and we’ll cover those) TaylorMade hasn’t announced much of anything new.
It’s not that the engineers at TaylorMade [...]

Filling My Bag: Cleveland

Filling My Bag: Cleveland

Cleveland golf is my own personal equipment bride’s maid. I love Cleveland equipment. I really do. It’s just that when it comes time to actually buy, I always seem to find something I love just a little bit more.
Last year I almost bought a HiBore XL driver; instead I bought a TaylorMade SuperQuad. I almost [...]

Filling My Bag: Cobra

Filling My Bag: Cobra

While not quite as well known as its big brother in the Acushnet golf family, Cobra golf has a reputation for producing products so ridiculously popular with the golfers that use them, that one could almost call it the Cult of Cobra.
The conventional wisdom has been that the Titleist brand is designed for pros and [...]

Filling My Bag: Nike

Filling My Bag: Nike

No other name in the game carries the leverage of Nike. I know far too many people who’ll buy Nike clubs, Nike balls, Nike bags and Nike shoes for little more reason than the Nike brand itself. Hell, If Nike offered a sandwich these guys would be first in line to take [...]

Filling My Bag: Ping

Filling My Bag: Ping

Just like we did yesterday with Adams, were going to give a lot of praise to Ping for keeping things simple. Ping remains steady and consistent, producing updated models annually, however; you’re not going to see them releasing an abundance of new equipment just because they can.
Instead, what we you can count on are [...]

Filling My Bag: Adams

Filling My Bag: Adams

Here at WhatTheDeuce we can admit when we’re wrong, and last year we were dead wrong not to show Adams golf a little more love than we did. Adams was the first to produce a true hybrid club, and the first to make that hybrid available as part of a set. Since then [...]

Filling My Bag: Callaway

Filling My Bag: Callaway

For Callaway Golf fans, 2008 is shaping up to be a monster year. Already announced are 2 new drivers (and that’s not counting the I-MIX system), 3 new fairway woods, 1 new hybrid, 4 new iron sets, a new wedge, 4 new or redesigned golf balls, some new bags, and a whole mess of [...]

TaylorMade Screams Me Too Me Too; Offers Interchangeable Shaft System

TaylorMade Screams Me Too Me Too; Offers Interchangeable Shaft System

Not to let Callaway’s I-MIX system go unchallenged, TaylorMade has announced it’s own interchangeable shaft system; the r7 CGB Max Limited Driver.
Taking things a step beyond the Callaway offering, the TaylorMade set comes complete with the new CGB Max head, 9 weights, and 3 shafts.
The head on the CGB MAX Limited is a brand new, [...]
