Rory Wins With Oversized Grip

I'll be honest (when am I not?):

I watched absolutely zero golf this past weekend. While I was occupied eating (a lot) and watching metal things explode at the movies and paying tribute to those who served (I highly recommend you all visit a military base or cemetery to truly know how great their sacrifices were), Rory Sabbatini took the top honors at the Byron Nelson.

Good for him. Good for the Tour.

I know, a lot of you might not be fans of his considering he's not known for being the most cordial player on Tour. Nonetheless, he makes golf more watchable, more dramatic and dare I say, slightly cooler.

Anyway, in addition to a bag mostly made up of TaylorMade gear, Rory also used an oversized Tiger Shark Ultra-Tac Jumbo grip. The bigger grip, so they say, relaxes the hands to prevent the yips and helps golfers make better, more repeatable putting strokes.

We like that.

The ugliest travel bag on earth.

I've never understood why luggage manufacturers insist on making luggage in black, or dark blue, or dark gray. If anything, I'm a big advocate in making luggage stand out. I'd by neon green luggage if I could. I want to see my luggage from afar so I know exactly where to go once I hit the dreaded baggage claim. Louder luggage also acts a deterrent to thievery. I've had my clubs stolen once--I don't want it to happen again.

Which, leads me to my point about what is probably the ugliest golf travel bag I've seen. The one listed above is covered in some sort of artsy, unintelligible grafitti--something that's probably more equated with some rough and tough rocker's gear than would be with a set of golf clubs. Such a design makes the travel bag stand out in a hurry.

Nonetheless, the graffiti bag is made of thick, strong nylon and comes with a removable pouch. There are wheels too and a reinforced bottom and extra padding up top.

Party on and get yours HERE.

Get Inside John Daly's Pants



Well, maybe not. But you can buy the same kind of pants he's been wearing these days.

The company who has been outfitting Daly with those over-the-top pantalones is called Loudmouth Golf, an appropriate name considering how wild and wacky their apparel is.

Hey, crazy pants are fine with us. It makes the game of golf all that much more fun. Now would you want to wear these out to a steak dinner after the round? Or to the local sports bar? Probably not, but then again there may be some of you who are into that sort of thing.

Get your crazy slacks for about $90 bucks HERE.

TaylorMade R9 460 is here!

Can you believe it? It's finally here! TaylorMade almost made it through the spring without introducing a new driver to the public! Man, it's been so long since we've seen something new from TM!

We're kidding of course. But it is true--TaylorMade has developed a serious reputation for having the shortest attention span in golf. Seems like every time we turn our eyes back on them, a new club iteration is ready to be introduced.

Anyway, the R9 460 is, well, a 460cc version of the R9--sans screws. Yes, that's right. The R9 is bigger, but the adjustable weights are gone, leaving the golfer only with the hosel to adjust ballflight, trajectory and so forth.

Now, logic would tell us that this was the model to introduce before the R9, but hey, we just report on the stuff. We have an R9 460 here in the office (somewhere) and haven't tried it, but when we do we'll be happy to report on it right here on our blog.

Odds are its another outstanding performer from TaylorMade. But then again, aren't they all?

Offset Tees Hit the Mark

Ok, so you won't be buying a $16,000 pink Mercedes-Benz inspired golf cart any soon, but you will want to try these.

The Offset Tees from Pride are designed to hep golfers hit the ball more on an ascending angle, a must-do for more longer, further tee shots.

We tried them and as strange as they look, they work! They're fantastic for people who have trouble getting the ball airborne.

Standard and extra length tees are available. Get them HERE.

What does a near $16,000 golf cart look like? Well, in this case it looks like a Mercedes-Benz, which rightfully it should.

With fantastic puttermakers such as Cameron and Bettinardi already out there with virtually cult-like followings, the fact of the matter is, there are a few other puttermakers out there that don't quite get the attention they deserve. Among them is T.P. Mills.

T.P. Mills? They're still around? T.P. Mills as in Truet Mills who designed puttters with the trademark crosshairs on the sweetspot, used by Tour pros the world over? T.P. Mills as in the putter Ronald Reagan used to putt down the hallway of Air Force One? Ugh, I think you get the idea.

Now designed and made by David Mills, the latest line of milled putters from the T.P. Mills company are nothing short of true works of art. But don't take our word for it. Contact them yourselves and see what we mean.
