Review: ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket

November 20th, 2008 — , Apparel, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Earlier this year we had a look at a couple of offerings from the major players in the Golf Jacket market: Zero Restriction and Sun-Ice. Today we will have a look at the TaylorMade-Adidas ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket (wow, that is a mouthful!). This is a new offering from TM-Adidas looking to compete in the ‘I want what the tour players wear when they are in the rain‘ market.

PGA Championship Interactive Coverage

August 6th, 2008 — , Tournament Coverage from Sean @ The Deep Rough

If you remember back to the Masters and US Open, I posted about the interactive coverage DirecTV had put together for those events. Not to completely come across as a salesman, the coverage is pretty neat. There is a special PGA Championship channel that displays several feeds from the course. You can [...]

Patriot Golf Day

August 1st, 2008 — , Drivers, Every Day Golf from Sean @ The Deep Rough

TaylorMade-adidas Golf Company, the world’s leading maker of metalwoods, today announced it will produce a limited number of special-edition Patriot Golf Day drivers in hopes of helping the Folds of Honor Foundation raise more than $1 million during its Patriot Golf Day fundraising event. The foundation, which provides educational scholarships to families of those who have become disabled or lost their lives in the line of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, is the sole beneficiary of Patriot Golf Day.

Review: Bag Boy Compact 600

July 9th, 2008 — , Equipment, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Not long ago we had a look at the Clicgear 2.0 Push Cart, today we follow up in the Push Cart series with a review of the Compact 600 by Bag Boy. BagBoy is a veteran in this field, with a wide variety of offerings and ample experience in providing golf gear to the masses. How does the Compact 600 stack up to current models?

Review: Crocs Ace Golf Shoes

June 19th, 2008 — , Apparel, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Early last summer I purchased a pair of Off Road crocs, and they have rarely left my feet. They are quite possibly the most comfortable casual shoes I have ever owned. I always wear them to the golf course, and am anxious to slip them back on after walking 18 holes. When Crocs purchased Bite Shoes last year, my first thought was wow…when do I get golf spikes on my crocs?. Well, I did not have to wait long. Crocs quickly put together a golf shoe design, that is more than just spikes slapped onto the bottom of a traditional croc: the Crocs Ace.

Review: Power Blade

June 17th, 2008 — , Reviews, Training Aids from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Everyone wants to add yards to their drive. You know you want to belt it 325 down the middle like Tiger. There are plenty of training aids out there on the market claiming they will add 5..10…25 yards to your drive, but most fall short in delivering on those promises. The problem generally is due to the fact that even with the greatest of training aids, you must put in the work with it to see results. So the challenge for a training aid designer is to create an effective tool that both shows results and is fun to use. Is the Power Blade the answer? We’ll find out!

US Open Live Interactive Coverage

June 11th, 2008 — , Tournament Coverage from Sean @ The Deep Rough

If you were a DirecTV subscriber during the Masters no doubt you saw the awesome interactive coverage. Between all the live on course cameras, interactive scorecard and interviews…it was pretty awesome! Apparently it was successful enough for them to offer the same coverage during this week’s US Open at Torrey Pines. I can’t wait to check this out!

Review: Clicgear 2.0 Cart

June 11th, 2008 — , Equipment, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Today we have a look at the first cart in our Push Cart Roundup, the Clicgear 2.0. The Clicgear 2.0 introduces a number of improvements over the previous model, most notably a super easy to use folding and unfolding system. We have been using the Clicgear 2.0 for about a month now, and have put together a detailed review of these improvements and the overall performance of the cart.

Review: Heavy Putter C2-DF

June 3rd, 2008 — , Equipment, Putters, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

If you are a long time reader of The Deep Rough, you know I am absolutely in love with my B3-M Heavy Putter. Earlier this year, Heavy Putter released a new line of Deep Faced putters. The Deep Face raises the center of gravity of the putter, aligning it closer to the equator of a golf ball. This should result in more consistent strikes on the sweet spot of the putter face. So let’s have a look at the Heavy Putter C2-DF and see how it compares to the earlier generation Heavy Putters.

Review: TaylorMade Tour Burner

May 30th, 2008 — , Drivers, Equipment, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

TaylorMade launch the new Tour Burner line of equipment earlier this Spring with a spirited marketing campaign. The Burner Bloodline website provides great detail and insight into this tour like line of equipment. Unlike the Tour Authentic line from Callaway, the Tour Burner series is not about bringing extremely high priced actual Tour equipment to the hands of the weekend golfer, but about bringing Tour like performance to the rest of us. Can a piece of equipment give us a ball flight like TaylorMade Staffer Sergio Garcia?

June Contest: Win a Birdie Ball

May 30th, 2008 — , Training Aids from Sean @ The Deep Rough

So we have [...]

Golf Push Cart Roundup

May 28th, 2008 — , Equipment, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Buggies, trolleys, push carts…golfers from around the world have many names for these two or three wheeled devices to help lug those clubs around the course. Anyone who has pulled a two wheel cart behind them for 18 holes knows that process can be more trouble than it’s worth. The three wheeled push cart has helped transform the task from a painful experience to an easier walk in the park. Over the next week, we will be posting detailed reviews of a couple of the more popular push cart options available. Today we will have a quick look at the carts involved.

Review: 2008 Callaway Women’s Shirts

May 27th, 2008 — , Apparel, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Callaway recently sent me two ladies’ golf shirts to review and I’m now a convert to this brand of clothing that I had previously shied away from. I was immediately impressed by the style and feel of both shirts and after wearing them once on the golf course, I actually put one on knowing that I wouldn’t be hitting the links that day. These shirts are not only comfortable, but incredibly fashionable as well.

Review: Bushnell Tour v2 Range Finder

May 23rd, 2008 — , Equipment, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Bushnell is known for creating high quality, precision optics in a variety of sporting arenas. If you are a competitive golfer, you probably have already used a Medalist laser rangefinder or some earlier version of this product line. For 2008, Bushnell has released an updated version of this laser rangefinder, the Tour V2. The Tour V2 is currently the smallest laser rangefinder in the marketplace, offering precise distance measurement in a very small package

Review: Gatorade Tiger

May 8th, 2008 — , Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Gatorade recently has introduced a new line of Tiger Woods endorsed sports drinks, Gatorade Tiger. The new formula is nearly identical to the original Gatorade, except for 25% bump in electrolytes. The new Gatorade Tiger is available in three flavors: Red Drive (Cherry/Citrus), Cool Fusion (Lemon/Lime) and my personal favorite: Quiet Storm (Grape). This ‘Tiger Juice’ is available in two sizes, 16oz (100 calories per bottle) or 32oz.

Review: Bag Boy Clip-Lok Stand Bag

May 7th, 2008 — , Equipment, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

We have not reviewed many golf bags here on The Deep Rough, but today we will be taking a close look at a new stand bag from Bag Boy, the Bag Boy Clip-Lok Stand Bag. This bag is fitted with a neat little system to lock your clubs in place, to reduce club chatter.

Ashworth’s 2008 Line of Men’s Golf Shirts

Today we are having a look at some new pieces in Ashworth’s 2008 line of golf shirts. The people at Ashworth were nice enough to send along a sampling of the latest Ashworth Men’s shirts as well as some of items from the Callaway Women’s line. Today we will focus in on the Men’s line, and follow up with a look at the Women’s line later this week.

You have probably seen the infomercials on The Golf Channel. Interviews with numerous Touring Professionals singing the praises of the Roll Groove technology. With a high tech look, and loads of technology, the Rife Two Bar Hybrid Putter is put to the test.

Mizuno MX-950 Review

March 25th, 2008 — , Equipment, Irons/Wedges, Reviews, mizuno, mx-950 from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Not long ago we had a look at the Mizuno MP-57 irons, geared toward the mid to lower handicap player. Today we will be taking a close look at Mizuno’s offering for the higher handicap player, the MX-950. The MX-950 is a mixed hybrid/iron set with a ton of forgiveness and the quality you would expect from Mizuno. The question is, do they have that same Mizuno feel?

Speak the name Miura, and many are struck by visions of artistically ground billets of mild steel and the buttery soft feeling of a well struck long iron. In addition to their hand finished irons, Miura Golf also crafts fine wedges and putters. Today we will be looking at one of the newest Miura offerings, the Black Wedge: a high spin wedge with a black finish and the touch of master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura’s hands.

Review: Nike Sumo Squared 5900

March 11th, 2008 — , Drivers, Equipment, Reviews, nike golf, nike sumo, sumo squared 5900 from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Square was all the rage in 2007, with the original Sumo Squared, Callaway FT-i and various other models reaching the market. The initial buzz factor was huge as everyone seemed to love to talk about super high MOI and the ultra-forgiving nature of the square driver head. Sure there were some complaints of a loss of distance and deafening sound, quieting the square head buzz a little…However, it has been over a year now, and as far as I can tell, club designers do not sleep these days. The Nike engineers have obviously been hard at work, recently unveiling their new square driver: The Sumo Squared 5900.

Review: TaylorMade Spider

March 5th, 2008 — , Equipment, Putters, Reviews, spider, taylormade from Sean @ The Deep Rough

TaylorMade has never been one for offering up boring product designs. The Rossa Monza Spider’s radical new shape and eye catching paint job continue this tradition. Marry the stunning looks with extreme MOI and AGSI+ and TaylorMade has another winner on their hands. Today we’ll have a look at this technologically advanced putter which has been tearing up the PGA tour.

Review: Refine and Accelerate

March 4th, 2008 — , Reviews, Training Aids from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Not long ago I wrote about the GyroSwing which will soon be released by SLKZ golf. They also happen to offer a few other training aid products, a couple of which caught my eye: The Refiner and Swing Accelerator. The refiner is a hinged driver which works on getting your golf swing on plane. The Swing Accelerator, on the other hand, is a weighted club which targets the distance part of your game. We will have a look at both of these devices today and see if they can help your game.

Review: Caesar Golf Balls

February 26th, 2008 — Golf Balls, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

A golf ball without dimples? Crazy you say. Nope, The Caesar Golf Company has managed to remove said dimples and offer a completely smooth, billiard ball like apparatus for golfer to swing at. The premise is simple…makes sense…but how does it perform on the course?

Review: Yes! Donna Putter

February 23rd, 2008 — Equipment, Putters, Reviews from Sean @ The Deep Rough

Over the past few weeks I have been having a look at one of the latest putter designs from Yes! Golf, their Donna putter model. The Donna combines a high MOI design with the renowned Yes! C-Groove technology. This combination should provide one of the straightest hitting putters on the market today.

Make The Most of the Driving Range

February 18th, 2008 — The Golf Swing from Sean @ The Deep Rough

We have all been at the driving range and found ourselves in a mindless trance of pounding ball after ball after endless range ball. That groove does absolutely nothing to help your game. If anything it probably hurts it as you are probably further ingraining poor techniques into your swing. Today we will discuss some ways to avoid getting into that groove, while making your driving range sessions more productive.

Jim Hardy has written a true masterpiece of golf instruction. His approach holds much more benefit for the amateur than the professional.
