We tested: 3-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft Key Technologies: Heads are made of soft forged 1025 carbon steel. This combo set seamlessly blends cavity-back long and mid-irons with blade-like short irons. OUR TESTERS SAY: Among the top performers in its class. Testers enjoy all the amenities of a classic muscleback with pure [...]

We tested: 3-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft Key Technologies: The multi-material head has a medallion in the cavity (made of soft elastomer and aluminum plate) that enhances sound and softens feel versus the original AP2. A 55-gram slug along the length of the sole adds a bit of forgiveness. OUR TESTERS SAY: [...]

We tested: 3-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft; 3-PW with FST KBS Tour steel shaft Key Technologies: “Stabilizer bars” in the cavity are narrower in long irons for a higher ball flight (and faster ball speeds) and wider in short irons, for a lower flight. Varying the depth of the tungsten toe weight—shallower [...]

We tested: 9°, 10.5° with Exsar DS5 graphite shaft Key Technologies: “Cortech” clubface has multiple thicknesses to produce consistent, high ball speed on mis-hits while “Ultimate Dynamic Stability” technology aids forgiveness. An internal 10-gram back weight shifts the CG deeper and increases launch angle, while an internal 5-gram heel weight makes it easier to square [...]

We tested: 3-PW with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft Key Technologies: The 3- through 7-irons have a milled “Pocket Cavity” that frees up 14 grams. The extra mass is distributed around the perimeter and contributes to the highest MOI (forgiveness) of any MP iron. The forged carbon steel heads feature a “diamond muscle” design [...]

From The Shop blog (January 18, 2011) Paul Casey fell in love with a prototype of Nike’s Method 001 putter after trying it at the company’s test center in Ft. Worth, Texas. After convincing company brass to allow him use the club in competition, Casey dropped it into his bag at the 2008 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. [...]

IT’S FOR: Tour level players and skilled amateurs. SKINNY: The 4-piece ball, available by summer, has a story all its own. A lightweight rubber-less core (made of polymer) makes the mantle and cover 10 percent heavier. As a result, drives launch with less spin (100-200 rpm) but maintain spin longer for better carry and control. [...]

We tested: 8°, 9°, 10.5°, 12° with Aldila Voodoo graphite shaft Key Technologies: Loft-specific mass dispersion controls trajectory while two tungsten-rubber inserts fine-tune CG location. The 8° and 9° have weight low to maximize vertical gear effect for lower-spinning shots, while the 10.5° and 12° have weight low and back to maximize dynamic loft. OUR [...]

Titleist 910D2: We tested: 9.5°, 10.5° with Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana Kai’li graphite; 8.5°, 9.5° with Diamana ‘ahina graphite; 10.5° with Diamana ‘ilima graphite Key Technologies: “SureFit Tour” adjustable hosel helps to achieve proper launch, spin and direction through 16 loft/ lie combos. Tweaking loft (+1.5° to -0.75°) creates 825-rpm difference in backspin and 1.5° variation [...]

Nike VR Pro Cavity IronsWe tested: 3-GW with True Temper Dynalite 110 steel shaft Key Technologies: A polymer-tungsten blend injected into the cavity leads to a lower, deeper CG and more forgiveness. Precise CG location helps to create a consistent ball flight from club to club. OUR TESTERS SAY: Delivers a reliable blend of accuracy [...]
