Titleist Ball Line Up 2018
Srixon AD333 golf ball
 

Greetings golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Ringway GC weekly newsletter. We hope that you're having a good week on and off the golf course. Last week wasn’t the best weather wise again, but well done for all those that played in both the ladies and gents comps.

I had a great week for a couple of reasons, firstly when Titleist came down to do some product training on the new SM7 wedges and golf balls (read about below) and then a short break to the lakes with Kirsty without any kids! We had a great time staying at the Wild Boar with a lovely walk through the forest and around Windermere.

Enjoy the read.

Get yourself fitted...

We now have demo irons with a range of shafts to allow a detailed fitting with PING, Callaway, Titleist and TaylorMade. All sets can be ordered specific to you whether it be just 1 iron to fill a gap in your current set or a full set. Not to mention hybrids, fairway woods and drivers.

Click here to request a fitting.

New wedges coming soon...

The new Titleist Vokey SM7 wedges are being launched soon and have a new design specific to the loft on the club, with a higher launch in the lower wedge lofts to make sure there isn’t a big gap between your pitching wedge in your current set. Then in the higher lofts the weight is placed higher up in the face to allow for more spin to be generated with a lower launch for excellent distance control, along with a new bounce option in the higher lofts to help with versatility around the green. There are also three different finishes to suit your eye.

What ball do you use?

Titleist have launched two new golf balls with a new Velocity in multiple colours which is their highest launching ball to allow stopping power with less spin which creates extreme distance. The other new ball is the Tour Soft, which is Titleist softest feeling ball created by a new larger core with a low compression to allow excellent feel with a tougher cover for distance and durability.

Lynx has been rapidly growing as a brand over the past few years and we're delighted to be stocking their fantastic range for 2018. One product we want to draw your attention to is the Prowler VT irons, which produce faster ball speeds, greater distance and a larger sweetspot for increased forgiveness - and they look stunning.

Don't overlook its importance

For years one of the key questions when buying a new driver was: regular, stiff or x-stiff? It goes to show that people have always known that the shaft needs to be considered, but how much importance should we place on it?

Correct shaft, better statistics
Do you want to hit more fairways this season? The two ball flights you can see below perfectly display the risks of using a shaft flex or shaft weight that’s poorly matched to your swing speed.

Course Illustration

A shaft that is too stiff or heavy will likely lead to a lower ball flight that can leak right (like the red arrow), whereas a shaft that is too light or flexible often kills distance and causes hooks (like the white arrow). Working together it won’t take long to narrow down the best shafts to optimise your distance and accuracy, helping you to hit more fairways.

Titleist 917 D3 driver

Getting the right head to match the shaft will also play a big part, and one we could try is the Titleist 917 D3 driver. It not only has an adjustable hosel we can use to optimise your launch for a piercing ball flight, but it also has an adjustable sole weight that we can alter to counter your common bad shot and improve your accuracy.

When and why?

When it comes to golf equipment, there are very few things we see neglected as much as grips, which is surprising when you consider they are your only point of contact with the club. If you keep on reading you’ll find out why it’s important to keep your grips in good condition and when you should look to replace them, as well as an offer that we're currently running in-store.

Golfer

When should you consider a regrip?
Small amounts of wear occur with each use of your grips and it’s easy to miss early warning signs. As a rule-of-thumb, your grips should be replaced every 40 rounds, but this can be sooner if you practice regularly. For most of you, that would mean replacing your grips every year.

Why regrip?
Worn grips force you to hold the club tighter than usual, increasing pressure and tension in your hands, wrists and arms. This reduces the head speed you can create and therefore your distance. However, using a tacky grip that matches the size of your hands – no, it’s not one size fits all – will cater for a lighter pressure and give you more confidence on every swing.

Rogue thinking from Callaway

It was never going to be easy for Callaway to surpass the Epic range for both technology and performance, but in the 2018 Rogue line-up they have produced something very special.

Whether you're a scratch player or a high handicapper, the Rogue driver - available in three models - will offer you a powerful weapon off the tee once we find the perfect hosel and shaft combination for your swing.
