Taylormade 2010 Burner TP Iron One Month Update
So its been a month since the new 2010 Taylormade Japan Burner TP Iron was released and demand is still through the roof for this iron. Taylormade is having trouble keeping up with orders and they can’t produce enough sets fast enough. After receiving demos for testing I can see why. I had initially reported [...]

Tourstage 2010 X-Blade 703 Review
Our new Tourstage demos have come in and I started out by testing the new 2010 X-Blade 703 today.

Yamaha Inpres D Power Spoon Preview
Spoon to the rescue…
Low lofted fairway woods don’t have to be hard to hit. In Japan, most golfers don’t call these fairway woods by their number ie “3 wood”, they say “spoon”. Hence the name EGG Spoon from PRGR. These so called spoons rival your driver in distance and are made to be silly [...]
