Pro's news

18 holes in how long?

Slow play and rounds regularly taking over four hours is a problem across the world, and if you watch any golf on TV you’ll be well aware that it can be over five hours before professionals eventually walk off the 18th green. That said, this weekend saw a record on the PGA Tour for the fastest ever round, recorded by Wesley Bryan who completed his final round in just one hour 29 minutes – and shot a two-under 69 in the process. To put things into perspective, the group behind Bryan was on the 8th hole at the time he birdied the 18th. Quite impressive.

How often do you use yours?

Take a moment to think about this question: what is the most underused club in your bag? If you’re answering truthfully, our money is on your fairway wood, which could easily become one of your go-to clubs if you carefully consider the different test each hole provides.

Play for position

Are you guilty of always pulling driver with barely a thought to the hole you’re on, the day’s wind or ground conditions? If some of you considered the challenge more carefully, we’re sure a fairway wood would be a wiser play more often. For example, you can take a hazard completely out of play or leave a full shot to the green instead of an awkward pitch - as illustrated by the graphic here.

Do you trust your fairway wood

Of course, you can only rely on playing a safer
shot if you trust your fairway wood to be a consistent option. If yours often leaves you in trouble, perhaps you should consider a fitting to find a model more suited to your swing?

Try this option from Lynx

One we’ve had a lot of success with is this Lynx Black Cat wood. It has a sole weight we can flip to personalise your trajectory between high long carries and lower flights with more roll. Click on the image above to learn more about this product.

Take your pick...

The start of autumn signals the time of year when many golfers begin to hibernate for the coming colder months. However, 2017 is going to be different because we’ve just received a brilliant selection of mid-layers that will keep you warm and swinging freely as the temperature drops, meaning there’ll be no excuses for you not to play.

Callaway Ottoman ¼ Zip Fleece

If you want to keep cosy in the chilliest conditions a fleece style layering option is a must. This Callaway offering has breathable thermal fabric so it can be worn both as an outer-layer and under a jacket in wetter weather.

Callaway Technical Mid-Layer ¼ Zip Pullover

Callaway Technical Mid-Layer ¼ Zip Pullover

We love the versatility of this sporty zip-neck that has both thermal and water-resistant properties, with its stripe fabric containing interwoven spandex so you can still swing dynamically when wearing multiple layers.
