I just ordered a new driver. It’ll be my second driver from G.R.I.P.. I loved the first one so much I had to try out one with a lower loft and a stiff shaft, so I ordered the 9 degree with stiff graphite shaft. They had a special for $100 that also comes with a [...]

Review: G.R.I.P 460cc Beta Titanium Driver
May 8, 2007 – 7:13 pm
Golf Research In Play (G.R.I.P) announced a new 460cc Beta Titanium Driver at the end of April and I jumped all over the chance to review one.
Specifications
The driver sells for $129.95 which is nearly giving the club away for free compared to the prices of similar drivers on the golf market which usually sell for [...]
Shooting in the High 60s
April 1, 2007 – 10:57 pm
60 degrees. It actually was supposed to get up to 70 today, but I’m not sure if it did. Played 9 holes at Beech Hollow with Tom and lost by a stroke. He’s on his high horse because I usually beat him by 5-10 strokes for 9 holes and now he’s beat me two days [...]
460cc Drivers
April 1, 2007 – 9:50 am
I’ve been playing a Makser AS440 for the past couple of years and it’s the only driver I’ve ever hit consistently straight. My friend Tom recently bought one of the new Ping Raptures and now instead of out driving him by 30-40 yards, he is sticking right with me or bombing it longer. I’d really [...]
Review: G.R.I.P Sweetness Putter
August 2, 2006 – 10:40 am
I received the G.R.I.P Sweetness Putter a few weeks ago from Rob at Golf Research in Play and The Savvy Golfer. I was impressed with the look and feel of the putter as soon as I took it out of the box. I used it around the living room for a bit, but knew I [...]
Don't Underestimate the Driving Range
May 2, 2006 – 10:46 am
Ever since I made the decision on which fairway woods and irons I was ordered I hadn’t been back to the driving range. Nearly two weeks has passed until yesterday when I stopped by the Saginaw Golf Centre on my way home from work. Over the past few weeks I had been spraying everything out [...]
Sasquatch Siting
February 21, 2006 – 12:40 pm
I’ve written about the Nike Sasquatch driver before, but I finally saw it in person this weekend for the first time when I was at Dick’s Sporting Goods. The driver has one of the biggest heads on a golf club that I’ve ever seen, but it’s one of the lightest drivers I’ve held in my [...]

Hitting the Large Head Drivers
November 5, 2005 – 11:29 am
This summer I bought a new driver and it was the greatest buy I made in my golf bag. I’ve never been able to hit a driver in my life and although I still have problems with the new one, it’s the best driver I’ve ever made a swing with.
Going to a large head driver [...]

Wilson brings us the r7 of putters with their Kirk Currie series of putters. The KC4 putter pictured here is not one of the best looking clubs on the market, but it is often used by Padraig Harrington, so it must work.

Conforming Driver Heads
October 8, 2005 – 9:32 am
As the governing bodies of golf, The R&A and USGA make all of the rules. They decide when you can move your ball, when you receive a penalty stroke, and everything else imaginable. With the recent advances in golf technology, there has been a lot of discussion about which drivers are allowed. Both the R&A [...]
Nike Sasquatch Driver
October 8, 2005 – 9:09 am
Nike’s new Sasquatch driver is a great looking club. If you were going to buy a driver on looks alone, the Sasquatch might would be near the top of the list.
Nike has developed a new technology called Powerbow, which “adds a trailing volume of mass to apply more power and control to the ball without [...]

TaylorMade rac Black TP Wedge
October 7, 2005 – 5:26 pm
TaylorMade’s latest wedge, the rac Black TP, replaces the rac Black. While the two wedges look the same they actually have some very important differences. The rac Black TP features TaylorMade’s tour-proven Y-cutter grooves, larger Feel Pockets and TaylorMade’s tour-configured sole, which features, among other things, a radiused leading edge. The Y-cutter grooves allow the [...]
