In golf, the longer the club the harder it is to hit square and hit it pure. Let's just say the driver is the longest therefore for many the most difficult to play. So it does mean that the shortest club in the bag being the wedge therefore, it it the easiest? Furthermore when it is time to use a wedge you are usually left with little real estate to conquer - from 100 metres and below and the worst shots are those that are not full shots. 35m or 45m shots and so on.  You will need to have full confidence with a wedge in your hands with belief and conviction. We should not let our minds play tricks on us thinking that we have to hit harder if the flag is blue and farther or to decelerate when the pin is red and nearer. Once, you could overcome such fear of over or under hitting it, the wedge becomes your scoring club. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Tour-inspired TaylorMade Hi Toe wedge. It is a wedge aimed at golfers seeking more control and versatility and ...

This Christmas I made a lot of people happy, at least four very happy people. I am good at that because I am in the Maritime industry (pronounced Merry Time). First I sold my Mizuno irons which are about a year old   to a friend . You cold hardly find such quality used clubs at used clubs shops or even on line. Most maybe 3-year old or more. I sold them at a friendship price. I made one person happy. Then I sold the other set of Callaway irons to another friend at a friendship price too. Listen to your mother, she must have told you not to mix with wrong people. Ah, the price of friendship. This set is also at most a year old.

I have been bugged for clogging the store ...

I was invited. This time for TaylorMade's latest irons. I have always been fascinated by TaylorMade's technology and speed of introducing new line of products. At the time of this launch I was already getting news of their new driver - the R15! Like the SLDR series, the R15 will have two sliding weights instead of one. A launch has to be exciting and create a buzz. With a grand booth for registration and props for entrances. Then usually with the media team and some pros. Plus some friendly banter. Here was yours truly with Jef Goh and his team from TaylorMade. The event was about to kick off. Normally a pro or a top amateur player as the main guest gets to demonstrate their shots to give you the wow factor. They are introducing the RSi irons in two different models. The RSi 1 here which is the friendlier version with a slightly larger club head and face. And the RSi 2 which is the model just before the Tour or pro version which they c...
