The new Z Series is now available for custom fitting, the Z785 and Z585 feel even softer than previous models, look even better and still offer a massive range of shaft and grip options with no up charges. This really does mean you can get a set of irons that are going to suit your individual characteristics and requirements. The new range of drivers, fairways, hybrids and utility irons is by far the best range they have ever made and if you get a minute the online reviews are well worth a read or watch. The Z785 driver is packed with technology, the cup face design offers great ball speed all over the face, carbon crown which allows weight to be moved around the rest of the head for more forgiveness and the tuning system in the neck gives an amazing amount of options, with again a great choice of shafts.

Cobra Demo Day Monday 11th March 12pm-4pm We now have the new Cobra F9 Speedback 2019 range available in demo, the F9 driver is designed to improve your club head speed through the new aero dynamics in the head. It has a very low centre of gravity, making it very easy to get up in the air as well as offering a very stable face at impact. The milled face is the hottest and thinnest they have made, offering improved ball speed even on off centre hits. The carbon fibre crown is designed to further enhance the aero dynamics reducing drag for increased club head speed as well as increasing rigidity of the head to make it extra stable at impact. Why not give one a try next time you are at the club. We also have a Demo Day booked for Monday 12th March, if you would like to book a fitting on the day then please click here.

| 75 yards? Up-and-down for me... |
The majority of golfers know how far they hit their driver and irons with a full swing, but wedges require you to be a lot more accurate if you want to start shooting better scores. So, whilst it can be useful to know how far a full PW or LW goes, you'll benefit far more from dialling in your wedges so you can hit specific distances that you regularly find yourself with on the course. |
Give yourself options You'll notice that different swings with each wedge will result in yardages that overlap - see table above. This is important as it'll give you options when considering the conditions. For example, if you're facing a strong breeze, we'd suggest going up a club and utilising a shorter swing so the ball flies lower with less spin, helping it to penetrate through the wind. |
Dial in with Cleveland We'd recommend having a wedge system of the same brand and model, so you remove any variables in feel and spin across wedges. One model that we love is Cleveland's RTX-4 wedge. Some of you may have previous generations of RTX - which stands for Rotex Face Technology - but this current model has the sharpest grooves yet for more spin and maximum control around the greens. 18 bounce-grind combinations available between 46 and 64 degrees mean that a custom fitting is key if you want to get your next purchase exactly right. |
