  • Video Review: Mizuno MP-64 Irons

    Written by Jake O'Reilly on Tuesday 6 November 2012

    In the Mizuno MP-64 irons, the Japanese manufacturers have stepped away from packing as much forgiveness into the head as possible and have zoned in on feel and feedback. That’s not to say they’ve shut the door on forgiveness – there is still a shallow cavity in the head to offer some perimeter weighting.   However, the real secret comes in...

  • Video Review: TaylorMade RocketBallz Fairway Wood

    Written by Jake O'Reilly on Sunday 4 November 2012

    When TaylorMade announced the launch of their new RocketBallz range last winter, the claims of 17 yards sounded very ambitious and unlikely.

    Written by Jake O'Reilly on Monday 29 October 2012

    One of the major problems club golfers have when hitting a fairway is digging it into the ground, but the Tungsten Rail Sole on the Baffler T-Rail helps the club glide through the surface for a crisper contact, while the low centre of gravity ensures a good flight. The shallow and thinner face also makes it easier to hit and...
