Energy Grips making inroads on the PGA Tour
While I’m not one to make a fuss over what guys on the PGA tour are doing (for most of us, the pro game bears very little resemblance to the one we play), I must admit that anytime a company you probably haven’t heard of can put their gear into the bags of the world’s [...]
WhatTheDeuce’s 2008 Dream Bag
Better than two full weeks after we started, it’s finally time to wind down the 2008 gear guide. Keep in mind my 2008 dream bag is pure fantasy. As of yet, I have no plans to purchase any of what I’m about to list. In most cases, I haven’t even tried the clubs out (check [...]
Filling My Bag: Nickent
The Nickent name may not be as well known to most as say Titleist, TaylorMade, or Callaway, but those familiar with the brand can tell you they make products that performs at a high level, with a price tag that’s often less than the more familiar names.
Nickent hybrids are the most played utility club on [...]
Taking a few hacks with Nike’s 2008 SUMO Lineup
Saturday provided most consumers with their first opportunity to try out Nike’s 2008 SUMO series golf clubs. While no Nike rep was on hand (I suspect he was down the road at Golf Galaxy), my local proshop had plenty of new drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids for me (and everyone else to try).
While [...]
Choosing My Bag: OGIO
I feel a little bit guilty calling OGIO a golf bag company. They also make duffles, backpacks, messenger bags, luggage, and assortment of other items that help you carry your stuff from point A to point B. There’s no denying, however; Utah’s little-duffle-bag-company-that-could has matured into the big-time-more-than-just-a-golf-company-that-does produce the largest and most [...]
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
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
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
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: 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 [...]
