New in!

To complete our line-up for this year from TaylorMade we have added some of the new Milled Grind wedges, TP collection and Spider putters.

The wedges are beautifully crafted with clean, uncomplicated look and great feel. Various loft and bounce options are available as well as three different finishes, depending on what you like. These have already found their way into Andy’s bag.

The putter’s really don’t need any introduction. Over the last couple of years, they have been very prevalent in tour players’ bags on both sides of the Atlantic, with the most recent winner on the European Tour, Jon Rahm, using his to great effect.

Andy’s Charity Day

Big thank you from Andy to everyone who supported his day. It was a little smaller than last year as we are looking to make the Pro’s Weekend a bigger deal later this year. For those who were wondering where their money was going, Andy is looking to go to the European Tour’s ‘Tour School’ later this year, so he is trying to raise the relevant funds for entry, travel and accommodation.

A change in distance

The changes to the Rules of Golf are fast approaching with 2019 now less than nine months away, so we thought we’d take a closer look at one common rule that’s getting a makeover.

Change of procedure when taking relief
Currently, you must drop your ball within two club-lengths from the nearest point of relief when taking a penalty drop.

Under the new rule (17.1c), from 2019 you’ll need to use the longest club in your bag (other than a putter) to measure one club-length or two club-lengths depending on the situation.

The other alteration comes when dropping the golf ball. At present, you must drop your ball from shoulder height when taking relief, but this will change to knee height from 2019.

Let us know your thoughts by getting in touch below.

Are you a V or X?

When it comes to golf balls, there are two questions we hear on an almost daily basis, both concerning Titleist’s Pro V1 and Pro V1x. So we thought we’d take this opportunity to let you all know the answers...

What’s the difference between V and X?
Both of the Pro V1 balls are designed to provide long and short game performance, but there are subtle differences from tee-to-green.

While both feel soft, the Pro V1 is a little softer and has a penetrating flight that delivers more roll from the tee, whereas the Pro V1x feels firmer and flies higher.

Which one should I play?
If it’s a straight shootout between the Pro V1 and Pro V1x, then you’re going to benefit from distance, control and feel either way.

Both models are used on tour by players such as Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, but it really comes down to your personal feel preference and which characteristics suit your game, which we can discuss during a ball fitting.
