Major(s) News & Notes, November 9th, 2023

A first class course can only be made in time. It must develop. The proper distance between holes, the shrewd placing of bunkers and other hazards, the perfecting of putting greens, all must be evolved by a process of growth and it requires study and practice. C.B. MACDONALD

TaylorMade Spider Tour X Proto Putter Review

When TaylorMade released their new Spider Tour line of putters in September, many of you asked if one of those putters was the putter that Scottie Scheffler used during the FedEx Cup playoffs. Unfortunately, the answer was no. That version of the Spider Tour putter was only for Tour players.

Vokey WedgeWorks 60A Wedge

It’s been a couple of years since an A Grind last landed in Vokey WedgeWorks, and it’s probably not a stretch to assume that the Vokey Design WedgeWorks 60A will be the last of the SM9 era.

Still, I expect there will be plenty of interest in Vokey’s latest low bounce wedge offering.

Grinds can be complicated, so perhaps it’s helpful to understand that for all the variety offered within the Vokey lineup, there are only a handful of what you might call core grinds. By and large, they’re the familiar ones (F, M, S, L, etc.) that show up on retail shelves year after year.

A good bit of what hits WedgeWorks aren’t so much wholly unique grinds as they are variations of a core grind.

For example, the most recent WedgeWorks release, the V Grind is basically a higher bounce take on the extremely versatile T Grind.

The Science of Feel: Materials, Engineering and Cracking the Code

The “science of feel” may be the ultimate golf oxymoron. How could it be that the most subjective performance attribute in the game – how a club feels when you hit it – is the result of advanced engineering?

One would have to have a soul of stone to sully the art and emotion of feel by bringing math, computer simulation and ultra-modern technology into the equation. After all, didn’t Ben Hogan, the greatest technical tactician/golfer of them all, say it better than anyone?

“A well-hit golf shot,” he told us, “is a feeling that goes up the shaft, right through your hands and into your heart.”

You can’t wax poetically any better than that.

But, friends, we’re on the cusp of 2024. Today, we carry more technology in our pockets than Apollo 11 took to the moon over half a century ago. And while it may not please golf purists, technology can make you feel things that weren’t possible even a decade ago.
