R&A Adds A Diversity Ambassador

He’s a strong hoodie advocate and has a name out of central casting, so I wish him all the luck trying to diversify golf in the land of Brexit.

ZANE SCOTLAND BECOMES A DIVERSITY AMBASSADOR FOR THE R&A

01 March 2022, St Andrews, Scotland: The R&A has appointed Zane Scotland as a diversity ambassador to support the development of initiatives that encourage more people from ethnically diverse communities into golf.

New KYOEI KK CB Irons

Introducing the all-new 2022 KYOEI KK CB!  This is KYOEI’s new flagship forged cavity back iron.  KYOEI has just announced a new Dual Weight II iron also offered in two finishes and in a couple of days, you are likely to see another new release from the brand.

2 years in the making,  you may have seen its first iteration known as the 2021 Handmade Limited iron which was produced using traditional heavier blank forgings and pressed grooves.  After tens of thousands of balls hit and many tester’s feedback the final retail release as seen here is much improved.

The new KK CB’s intended shape and center of gravity locations have been refined to specific heights and depths in each number club.  Various top-rated forged irons from the other top brands were evaluated to isolate what aspects of the design and performance worked and just as important what attributes did not.

The end result is what KYOEI plans to be in their product line up for more than a few seasons,  Yes folks it’s that good and as someone who has played every KYOEI iron including the Limited handmade’s that these were based on,  I must say the brand has released an outstanding new line across the board.

The new KK CB also features the brand’s newly evolved modern 5 cut sole design.  The sole grind is extremely versatile performing well for both diggers and sweepers. KYOEI has been testing the 5 cut soles for many years and their newest version interacts with the turf and even feels superior to the last version.

Jason Day Joins Bridgestone

Jason Day Joins Bridgestone – Key Takeaways

Former World No. 1 Day joins Bridgestone’s Tour StaffDay joins Tiger, Bryson, Fred Couples, Lexi Thompson and Matt KucharHe’ll be gaming the 2022 Bridgestone TOUR B X

It’s not as earth-shattering as the day it signed the world’s 650th ranked player, but today’s news from Bridgestone is noteworthy. The word out of Covington, GA is former World No. 1 Jason Day is joining the Bridgestone Tour Staff starting this weekend in Orlando at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Terms of the multiyear deal are unannounced, but Bridgestone does say Day will be playing the 2022 Tour B X “for the foreseeable future.” Day joins Tiger, Bryson, Matt Kuchar, Fred Couples and Lexi Thompson in the Bridgestone stable.

“We’ve been working with him for over a year now,” Bridgestone Golf Ball Fitting Manager Adam Rehberg tells MyGolfSpy. “He’s very comfortable with the ball now and he wants to be a bigger part of the team.”

A Long Day’s Journey

Day started experimenting with the Bridgestone TOUR B XS nearly two years ago, after playing with Tiger at Bay Hill. He was still under contract with TaylorMade at the time but asked Tiger for a sleeve of his balls to try. After his TaylorMade deal ran out, Day put the XS into play on his own without a deal.

“But as you guys have said, the Tiger ball doesn’t fit everybody,” Rehberg told us. “It can be way too spinny, even for a guy like Jason Day. He already had plenty of spin around the greens, but he found with the XS he was getting some floaty shots with his 6- through 9-irons. The X was a little more stable for him.”

Zach Johnson Plans To Retain Qualifying System, Not So Sure About Mickelson's Possible Role

The announcement of Zach Johnson’s Ryder Cup Captaincy came packed with qualifying details for the 2023 matches outside Rome. Looking rested and sporting a robust mane, Johnson was hit with questions about a Phil Mickelson vice captaincy, a task force tradition in advance of a presumed leadership role in 2025. On that, Johnson was less definitive. Instead of saying “it’s 19 months away”, the answers were a roundabout way of suggesting a Mickelson role appears unlikely.

You can watch the full session here.

It’s my favorite time of year. No not Christmas but pretty damn close. The Arnold Palmer Collection 2022 to be exact. So yeah it’s the same thing in my eyes.

Puma Golf has launched its new spring 2022 PUMA X Arnold Palmer Collection. Trust me, there’s something about that yellow, green, red and white umbrella that gives me the tingles.

Why Did Mickelson Get Cancelled?

If the average golfer considers the points of strategy which have been worked out in advance for a properly designed hole, he will undoubtedly improve his game in his play of such a problem. There is no question but that the strategy of golf is one of its most important assets, and our newer courses present many most interesting situations which increase their value. The question of strategy is of the utmost importance to the golf architect and to the golfer, and such strategy will be developed more and more during the coming years. GEORGE THOMAS

Is “PUREing” A Shaft Worth It?

To pure or not to pure, that is the question. Or the less esoteric version – should I get my shafts pured?

I’d bet a nice steak dinner that many of you are thinking “I don’t even know what that means.”  I hear you. Hang tight.

Whether this is a reasonable expense, it is a common query we receive from readers. Particularly if the discussion leans towards boutique club fitters or the differences between buying clubs off-the-rack or having a set custom fit.

But before we can answer the question, let’s start with a common definition.

SST PURE – What is it?

The textbook definition might read something like this – A process by which a specialized machine locates the optimal (most stable) orientation of a shaft.
