TaylorMade Introduces TP xFT Wedge (Exchangeable Face Technology) TaylorMade Golf has introduced the TP wedge with xFT (Exchangeable Face Technology), which allows players to easily remove a worn clubface and replace it with a new one to maintain peak performance in terms of spin and control. "Though the face of a typical iron is sturdy, it isn't impervious to wear," said Bret Wahl, senior director of iron, wedge and putter development. "A wedge's face wears from contact with the ball and from the dirt and sand that's often sandwiched between the ball and the face at impact. Every time you explode from sand with your wedge it's like rubbing a piece of sand paper on your clubface. Over time the face wears down and the edge-radius of the grooves becomes dull. In addition to the normal wear and tear a face suffers from normal play, it can be nicked and damaged in a variety of other ways such as when clubheads bang together when you put your bag down or when you walk or drive your cart..." |

Bourdy’s 19-under par total of 261 was enough to hold off a weekend surge from McIlroy, who fired weekend rounds of 65 and 64 to finish in second place on 17-under par. McIlroy’s third top five finish in three weeks raises him to the top of the inaugural Race to Dubai rankings going into the Dubai World Championships while Bourdy’s victory sees him climb into the top-60 of the rankings and also claim his place at the season ending event. Bourdy trusted the superior feel of Titleist from tee to green for his victory... |

Workshop Diary: November 13th 2009 Feeling groovy everyone? Not us. We’ve been given quite a few headaches by the R & A and the USGA over the new groove rulings. There’s been very little time to develop and manufacture new – or conforming – models to comply with the new rules. That’s involved huge costs at a time when companies are really looking to cut back rather than spend a fortune on a whim by the two governing bodies. One of the shaft companies told me they’d spent well over a million dollars sending out shafts for use with new heads – all for a golfing minority. Anyway, thought I’d run the rule over it all, as it were, so the new changes may appear clearer, and explain what difference it might make to players when they come into force in January. |

POULTER POWERS HIS WAY TO SUCCESS WITH ALL NEW COBRA ZL DRIVER Cobra Ambassador Ian Poulter goes wire-to-wire to win the 2009 Barclays Singapore Open Cobra Brand Ambassador Ian Poulter secured an impressive wire-to-wire victory at the Sentosa Golf & Country Club in Singapore this week. The colourful Englishman topped a world class field with a determined display of power and precision around the testing Sentosa course. After a rain delayed third round, Poulter closed with a one-over par 72 to finish at 10-under 274. After briefly giving up the lead on the 11th hole to Ryder Cup compatriot Graeme McDowell, Poulter sank a 30 foot putt just two holes later on the 13th to regain his position at the top of the leaderboard. Following a delicate up and down from the sand on the 17th, Poulter maintained his confidence on the 18th with a solid par to claim his eighth European Tour title with a one shot victory over China's Liang Wen-chong. |

NEW Cleveland Launcher DST Driver – the lightest most powerful driver in golf The new Cleveland Launcher DST driver may look like a fairly conventional club, but it’s hiding a big technology secret... ...The Launcher DST is the lightest driver in golf! The clubweight is just 292 grams – that’s 25 grams lighter than standard drivers, which usually weigh in around the 317 grams mark. The lighter the clubweight, the faster the clubhead speed and that equals greater overall distance (a three to 10 yard gain). At only a half millimetre in thickness, the new Launcher crown is the thinnest possible, which also helps move every bit of potential weight low and deep in the clubhead to optimise launch conditions and maximise distance. |
