Monty’s new weapons
Last updated:
Colin Montgomerie will be testing a brand new set of Yonex irons and a new Yonex driver at the Volvo Masters next week.
The eight-time European Order of Merit title winner isn’t in the hunt for this year’s title out in Spain, but he will be hoping that a new set of clubs improves his form.
TG was on-hand to witness Monty hitting his new Yonex Nanospeed i irons and Nanospeed i driver at a Yonex golf day last week.
The super-straight hitting Scot said: “By switching to the new Nanospeed i driver I’ve instantly added another 3mph of clubhead speed. For every mile and hour you gain an extra three yards, so I’m nine yards longer off the tee without changing my swing.”
Monty also took an instant liking to his new Nanospeed i irons with their powerful, forgiving clubface design making them incredibly easy to hit.
“I particularly love the 4-iron hybrid, it flies high and lands softly – perfect when you need to play approach shots into tight pins.”
Look out for the new clubs in Monty’s bag as he tees it up at Valderamma golf course in the Volvo Masters this week.
