The Ping staff player held off the challenge of Ryder Cup team-mate Edoardo Molinari to give Monty a boost with two of his charges maintaining excellent recent form. It...

  • Mizuno release tech-packed JPX-800 iron

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Wednesday 8 September 2010

    When setting out to create the new JPX-800 iron, Mizuno steadfastly stuck to the mantra that forgiving didn’t have to mean big and ugly. Instead, they wanted to develop a game-improvement iron that would outperform everything else on the market not only in terms of performance, but in looks as well. The JPX-800 signals the end of the popular MX-line up of...

  • Mizuno’s new JPX-800 Pro irons

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Wednesday 8 September 2010

    Even game-improver golfers these days are demanding increased feel from their irons these days and that’s why Mizuno have come up with the new JPX-800 Pro set. The JPX-800 Pro is a grain flow forged iron, just like Mizuno’s better-player MP line, but it is also packed with forgiveness and distance-enhancing properties that all game-improvers are looking for.

  • Mizuno unveil brand new MP-53 iron

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Wednesday 8 September 2010

    When creating the new MP-53 iron, Mizuno’s engineers were charged with the task of developing the most forgiving and playable MP iron in the company’s history. They wanted the forgiveness of the MX-300 iron to be blended with the shot-making potential of the MP-52. Mizuno engineers decided that a Diamond Muscle design and a V-shaped milled pocket cavity would allow them...

  • New Mizuno MP T-11 wedges

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Thursday 16 September 2010

    Mizuno have unveiled a brand new MP T-11 wedge for 2011 complete with conforming grooves.

  • Video review: Callaway Diablo Edge hybrid

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Friday 3 September 2010

    Out of Callaway’s Diablo wood range released in 2009, the hybrid was probably the best received of the lot so the new Callaway Diablo Edge hybrid had a lot to live up to. Designed as a game-improver’s club, it offers a high degree of forgiveness and sizeable offset to help higher handicappers. But Callaway have also worked hard to keep the...

  • Video review: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour hybrid

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Friday 17 September 2010

    With Callaway’s Diablo Edge Tour hybrid, they have tried to keep similar levels of forgiveness found in the Diablo Edge hybrid but package it in a more compact head shape to appeal to the better player.

  • Video review: Ping G15 hybrid

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Friday 10 September 2010

    Ping must be getting blue in the face telling golfers to get over the looks of the G15 hybrid and give it a try.

  • Video review: TaylorMade Rossa Monza Spider Vicino putter

    Written by David Connor, TG Equipment Editor on Tuesday 21 September 2010

    TaylorMade broke the mould with their original Rossa Monza Spider putter and the performance benefits were there for all to see. However, some players weren’t keen on the bigger headshape and outlandish “basketball court” alignment system. To fix the size issue TaylorMade released the Itsy Bitsy, which was essentially a smaller version but it was only with the launch of the...
