The Dingo from Pal Joey has a basic head design that is copied from the Kasco K2K.

That variation – more wood than iron [...]

Many utility woods have higher lofts. High lofts help get the ball out of the rough quickly. Remember, [...]

These clubs are fusion-hybrids; not a crossbreeding of woods and irons as are the Taylor Made Rescues, but instead, a they are a cross between woods and wedges – just as the name implies. The company’s promotional slogan is “A marriage made in golf heaven – You may now kiss your club.” Guess what? They’re [...]

This really was an eye opener. I was so impressed with this club it’s difficult to know where to start. It looks like an iron-ish but wow is it easy to hit. With no effort required, just watch this thing go! If you’re a golfer with a lack of confidence in fairway woods, then you [...]

Golfers take a look at the new Rescue woods from Taylor Made and comment on how cool looking they are. Few ever think that the clubs are anything they might want to use themselves.

This inexpensive hybrid wood/iron from Wilson is an economical version of the popular Taylor Made Rescue and is aimed at a mass market. It retails for less than $65.00. This is a nice looking wood, but it is not one intended for serious golfers. The shorter than normal shaft comes in “Men’s Flex” only without [...]

This Cinderella almost didn’t make it to the ball. We were so unimpressed with it during several range sessions, that we repeatedly forgot to put it any bags during playing rounds. Luckily, we finally remembered. Few, if any, clubs have ever made a more sterling on-course debut than did this Tour Edge. It knocked our [...]

We encountered some problems in our attempt to complete a comprehensive review of the Jazz P2W-TSi. A number of our testers were reluctant to hit this kind of iron/wood for more than a few quick shots. It is too different from anything to which they are accustomed. The image of this type of hybrid is [...]

This diamond-coated beauty from PureSpin was a universal favorite with our testers across the board. All understood the great popularity of this new company they had seen on so many infomercials and in the hands of so many PGA Senior Tour players.

The T.R.C. in the name of these Sonartecs stands for Twin Rail Cavity. That’s actually a misnomer. The center of the sole on the TRC’s has a raised section with a characteristic Sonartec cavity in the middle of it. The resulting center-sole is shaped liked a sideways ‘U’. Nonetheless, this sole functions as a twin-rail [...]
