This new R7 Draw Limited is quite possibly the best driver I’ve hit yet! The crisp sound, the light pick up and the deep cones head make this club a pleasure to hit. The distance is there and the noise off the club face is probably enough to persuade anyone to buy this club!
The TaylorMade r7 Limited Driver features Moveable Weight Technology with three ports which promote changes in trajectory up to 35 yards from left to right or right to left to optimise shot shape and distance. This massive draw option on this club means that this is going to be very popular with the ‘slicers out there, as this new R7 offers the largest draw setting in the TaylorMade range.
That being said even with the weight at standard setting this driver is long and achieves a good loft angle off the tee. All in all this is an amazing driver and A relative bargain at £235 when compared to the price of others on the market.

The new adjustable Cobra L5V driver is sure to be an instant hit with the mid to high handicappers. With Cobra’s new adjustable flight technology it has two flight bias settings allowing standard and draw setups.
The new driver has been built with the Cobra Dual Rhombus Face Insert Technology which allows for superb forgiveness of the tee and with the centre of gravity pushed even further back on this new driver the clubhead produces a higher launch angle and much lower spin, helping to achieve greater accuracy and distance.
The best option this driver has is pottentially its ability to change its shafts, with over 30 custom shaft options available this driver really is targetting a wide audience.
Have a look at the review from Today’s Golfer below and judge for yourself….
Should be hitting the shops around 1st November and expect to pay around £330.

Nike have released the new SQ Dymo, a driver with much promise as its set to replace the current Sumo range, a driver which has been massively successful and very popular. The SQ Dymo continues to be available in the standard or square head versions and the square version has pushed even more weight placed deep into the corners off the head to offer great stability and forgiveness while the round version.
The most exciting aspect of this range is however not the SQ Dymo but another new range, the SQ Dymo STR8-FIT driver. This thing sounds impressive and if successul may well become the benchmark for all future drivers. It is called the STR8 for a very good reason …. It has eight settings, there is the option to set it up with a 2 degrees closed or 2 degrees open face and different lie angles too which will allow golfers of different heights to find the best set up possible.
The possibilities this club opens are endless… the driver can be tweaked to different courses, different shots? I cannot wait to see how this is going to work and how this will fit into the rules of golf!
Check out today’s golfers first hit demo of the SQ Dymo below which should be hitting the shops mid to late October at around £260.00 and click here for their review.

Probably not the most practical bag I’ve ever seen and certainly not the cheapest either at £150, but as far as looks go this JL carry bag looks fantastic.
The off white 8” carry bag comes complete with embossed JL brandings, triple triangle shoulder strap, padded hip protector and a lift grip integrated trunk handle.
All in all a quality looking piece of kit and so long as your prepared to keep up with the cleaning after your round then this JL carry bag is sure to be a massive hit!

The new TaylorMade Tour Burner Irons look the ultimate in forgiveness and with the highest MOI measurements of any TaylorMade iron in their range these could be the mid to high handicappers irons of choice in 2009.
The extreme playability achieved with these irons is derived from TaylorMade’s Inverted Cone Technology that helps to expand the size of the clubface and enhance forgiveness on those off centre shots.
These new Burner irons have a medium top line and an intermediate offset which means that these clubs will be appealing to a wide range of golfers. Often large soled clubs have a fat top line, which is very uncomfortable to a lot of golfers at address. The intermediate offset means there should be some extra workability on the scoring irons which traditionally these types of clubs have lacked.
Overall these new irons sound very impressive and seem to have taken the traditional fat soled irons and added a couple of finishing touches which may set them apart form the rest.
Only £395 from Golf-Direct.
Today’s Golfer were given an exclusive on these irons and you can see their views on the video below;
