Pro's news

Life begins at 50

If you ever needed hope that life keeps on getting better then look no further than Bernhard Langer. During his ‘youthful years’ the magnificent German played on 10 Ryder Cup teams and won a mind-boggling 42 times on the European Tour, the second most of all-time, but it’s what he’s done since turning 50 that impresses us the most.

Courtesy of his three-shot victory at the weekend’s Senior Open Championship, the 59-year-old has now won a record 10 senior majors, one more than fellow Hall-of-Famer Gary Player. It's been one remarkable season for Langer too, having claimed three of these majors in 2017 alone!

So if that doesn’t get you excited for what’s to come then nothing will. We can’t promise that we’ll turn you into a superstar overnight but come and talk to the team if you’re interested in getting better…It's never too late.

Get in touch here.

What is a counterbalanced putter?

Many of you will have heard the term ‘counterbalanced’ used regarding putters over the past few years, but what exactly does this mean and how could one benefit your game? Here we explain all…

THE BENEFITS OF COUNTERBALANCING

With counterbalanced putters the key change is heavier heads, which help fight twisting to make your stroke more accurate. This head weight alone would ruin feel, so another difference is extra mass above your hands in the butt of the grip, which balances the feel of the putter.

This TaylorMade OS CB Spider putter is a great example. It utilises longer shafts from 34” to 38” to get the grip weight above your hands, while the 350g head stabilises your stroke. Aside from that, a deep-milled insert improves roll and a raised sightline makes it easier to aim.

To find out if a counterbalanced putter would suit your game, contact the team via the button below.

You thought that was impressive...

Having spoken to several of you in recent months about the technology in today’s drivers, we feel it’s about time we also highlighted the impressive technology wedges can offer that often gets overlooked. You’ll be surprised…

16-groove configuration

As highlighted on the image above, this beautiful Callaway Mack Daddy Forged wedge has a 16-groove configuration, with a new added groove at the bottom that helps deliver more spin on your pitches and chips.

It also boasts progressive centre of gravity locations to promote a lower, more controllable trajectory in the higher lofts, plus its crescent sole design enhances its greenside versatility to give you more shot options.

If you're considering new wedges then these are a great place to start, so pop in the shop or speak to a member of the team via the button below.
