This TaylorMade Raylor Hybrid picks your golf ball out of the rough like no other. The shape of the head is specifically designed to get through the long stuff and launch your ball high and long.

The leading edge is pointed, and the clubhead is very compact. ...

This Cleveland Launcher DST has very similar technology as the DST Driver. The dual rail system helps the hybrid stay stable when going after it in the rough or any other lie. In addition, it helps reduce turf drag and improve contact.

The hybrid has a parabolic leading edge. ...

This is a very reasonably priced hybrid. Callaway is an industry leader, and I really like the bang for the buck with this Big Bertha Diablo Hybrid. I'm not really sure why this club is so cheap.

This model has a very low center of gravity resulting ...

Mizuno engineers some beautiful clubs. This MP-CLK Hybrid is more versatile than I would expect from a company that I typically think of as an expert player's brand.

The face of the hybrid is a very hot. It is comprised of a 1770 stainless steel maraging face. ...

This new Baffler Rail Hybrid is a new club with an old (tried and true) design. As a matter of fact, the Baffler has been around for thirty years. Let's take a look at some of the latest technology built into this very forgiving club.

The first thing ...

These Tour Edge Exotics clubs may be the best kept secret of modern golf equipment. I predict we will see a surge in this company in the coming years.

This Tour Edge XCG-3 hybrid is similar to the XCG-3 driver and fairway wood. Its sole is comprised ...

I really like the price point of this Bobby Jones hybrid. It's very reasonable. Most of you know who Bobby Jones is, but who is this Jesse Ortiz fellow? This is the famous club designer that burst onto the scene back in the early nineties ...

Orlimar -- now there's a name I haven't heard in a while. This company was a pioneer in the late 1990s with their Tri-metal fairway woods. But the small company grew too quickly and fell on hard times. The genius behind the designs, Jesse Ortiz, ...

This is one of the most reasonably priced of all the modern fairway woods. And you get quite a bang for the buck with all the technology packed into this fairway wood.

The 17-4 stainless steel clubhead is wide with a shallow face. I like the way this ...

This is Callaway's highest MOI fairway wood. It's triangular-shaped for aerodynamics and has a very hot face. The designers have taken a stainless steel face and frame and merged it with a carbon-composite crown. They added weight plugs in the toe, heel, and rear.

This ...

This is Bridgestone's E5 golf ball. It is designed for you golfers looking for a higher ball flight. Let's take a closer look.

The E5+ is a two-piece golf ball consisting of a soft urethane cover ...

This is a Titleist fairway wood for mid to high handicappers. It's the kissing cousin of the 909 F3. Both of these clubs look beautiful at setup, but this F2 is much easier to swing.

The round profile and the huge face make this Titleist F2 a ...

If you asked me a few years ago what kind of shaft was in my driver, I would have given you a blank look and tilt my head to the side like my German Shepard does when I ask her if she is hungry. The only thing ...

If you are looking for a wedge that plows right through the rough, this one is my pick. The TaylorMade TP xFT does everything well, but is really good out of the thick stuff.

This clubface is specifically designed to promote increased spin. The face is made separately and ...

What do you know? Dunlop is bringing up their game with this three-piece Sport Golf ball. I'm very impressed. Usually when I think of Dunlop, I think of inexpensive, lower quality items designed for beginners, but that's not the case with these balls. It's good ...

Confucius say, "Man who hit big ball before little ball, hit ball fat." These Tao golf balls from Dunlop will go, go, go! They should have put a different Confucius saying on each golf ball. This would really sell these golf balls. Dunlop, if you ...

"You likka da Juice, ay?? Da Juice is good, ay?" This is a reference to an old Saturday Night Live skit (not a congressional hearing with Mark McGuire).

These Nike balls are really juiced up and go a long way. This is a hard 2-piece distance ball ...

Hey, check it out: If you purchase this driver, you get a free pack of Starbursts! Mmmm, yummy. Wait.. Check that. This driver uses something called "Starburst" variable face technology. I'm not sure what this is, but Srixon says it increases the C.O.R. by ...

Here's a beautiful Bridgestone Driver. I'm a big fan of the traditional-shaped drivers, and this one meets my tastes. It still is a huge 460cc clubhead, and the rigid sole reduces driver spin and promotes a higher launch angle for maximum carry.

My favorite thing about the club ...

Here's an interesting take on a game-improving driver. This Acer XDS is like a cross between a driver and a 3-wood. The design is based on the idea that the shorter, more lofted 3 wood is easier to hit and more consistent than your driver. ...

This is Titleist's most forgiving driver. I usually think of Titleist as a player's brand. Their stuff seems to be geared more for the low handicappers. But this big ol' 909 D Comp is designed for you higher handicappers that are looking for a large ...

This Launcher DST Fairway Wood is designed to be light and long. In fact the Mitsubishi Diamana Red shaft is 43-1/2 inches and weighs 64 grams. The clubhead is also very light with its 0.55-millimeter crown. The clubface is oversized and plasma-welded.

The 3-wood comes in three lofts: ...

"GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!" No, this isn't a race car -- it's a driver. Now that clubmakers have maxed out head size and MOI, what's next, you ask? Aerodynamics!

With these big ol' 460cc geometric drivers designed for forgiveness and a sweet spot the size of ...

These Srixon Soft Feel golf balls are an inexpensive golf ball chock full of technology. One of the wonderful things about the advances in technology in our game of golf is cheap golf balls that go long and have a soft feel.

The Nuts and Bolts: This 2-piece ...

This Men's Ping Rapture Driver is hot. It's the next generation of the enormously popular Ping G10. The club head is very similar to the G10 as well. Crescent-shape tungsten weights have been added in the heel and toe of the sole to move the weight ...

It's stocking stuffing time! (That's if you are reading this in December. I'm aware my blogs may live on long after I'm dead, so disregard if you are reading this in July, and please enjoy the BBQ and fireworks.) Of course you are going to get Dad ...

Feast your eyes on these new Mizuno irons. I think Mizuno makes the most beautiful irons of all the major club makers. But buyer beware, these clubs are blades designed for exceptional players.

The MP-68 irons are Mizuno's latest and greatest tour quality clubs. It looks to be ...

These days hybrid clubs are all the rage, and for good reason. These clubs help lower the learning curve and help get the ball up quick and in the direction of the target. This Tour Edge Bazooka is a reasonably priced golf club that is very easy ...

I usually don't like these combo golf clubs sets. However, most golf club combo sets are cheap crap that you will outgrow in a few months. This is not the case with this set of TaylorMade Burner Irons. These are good quality golf clubs that I ...

Adams Golf has become more popular to many of us in the last few years. Being one of the first companies to design clubs that were easier to hit off the deck, many of us tried their products and had some measurable success with them.

They have continued ...

Pinnacle makes no excuses for their low-cost golf balls. Actually, they have a good niche in the distance ball market. My father plays these balls almost exclusively. He is a twenty-five handicapper and plays from the white tees. The reason he likes Pinnacle golf balls is because they ...

Here's a cute little chipper. It's not really a wedge, and it certainly isn't a putter. Why it's a "Wudger!"

This club is very similar to the Odyssey White Hot XG Marxman Putter, only they've added some loft to the club to get the ball in the air quicker ...

OK, so here's the deal:

I'm boycotting products that make women golfers better. Not because I'm sexist. Not because they get to play from closer tee boxes. Not because there aren't products out there designed for men.

I'm boycotting them for one reason: my mother beats me when we play ...

Adams Golf and Nickent Golf seem to be the kings of hybrids. Adams may have invented hybrids, but Nickent is taking it to the next level. Their claim to fame is their patented Brazing Technology.

Brazing technology is an innovation that fuses steel and titanium without using epoxy. ...

If you are struggling with getting your irons airborne or suffer from inconsistent mishits, I can understand why you are checking out these hybrid irons. These clubs are designed to help you easily get the ball flying high towards the green.

When it comes to hybrids, I usually recommend the ...

Freddy Couples is the man! He's Mr. Cool, with the silky smooth tempo and the "I couldn't care less" attitude. He's the Bridgestone poster boy, and is also why I tried these Bridgestone Tour 330s.

It's a great ball design for low handicappers with fast swing speeds. ...

To score in this game, you've got to hit the green. Nothing is more frustrating than bombing a drive off the tee only to duff your iron shot 3 feet. I remember the days when I was much more nervous standing over that darn 100-yard pitch shot than I ...

When I was 8 and living in Florida, my grandfather took me to a Par 3 golf course. (Back then they were referred to as "Executive Golf Courses" except I never saw any executives. Mostly I saw guys in tank tops or retired folks.) He handed me ...

Anybody remember that movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer? There's a great scene where Val pulls out a thermos full of liquid nitrogen that houses a column of dry ice. His character, being a super genius, cuts a sliver of the dry ice in the exact shape and size ...
