It’s been a year (almost) since TaylorMade P770 irons launched, so you know the drill.

To keep it fresh, TaylorMade has added a Phantom Black version of the P770 to the lineup.

The smaller of TaylorMade’s hollow-body players distance irons, the P770 pairs a soft 8620 carbon steel body with a fast 4141 steel face.

Speed and feel are enhanced by the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket and SpeedFoam Air filling, respectively.

About “Black Phantom”

As far as the finish is concerned, Phantom Black is TaylorMade-speak for black PVD. Is it the most durable finish on the planet? Probably not.

The new COBRA AIR-X is the latest iteration of a COBRA legacy: lightweight products for low to moderate swing speed players.

If you go back to the ‘80s, COBRA was cutting-edge with its lightweight offerings. The company was among the first to manufacture its own graphite shafts and it developed a following among recreational golfers.

COBRA was still top of the heap as recently as 2020 and 2021 as its F-MAX Airspeed irons ranked numero uno in MyGolfSpy’s Best Super Game-Improvement rankings. However, the original AIR-X, released in January 2022, finished DFL in that year’s rankings. This year, the COBRA T-Rail finished next to DFL.

What gives?

For its part, COBRA is bringing some of its mainline AEROJET technology to this new AIR-X line. But according to the company, it’d be a mistake to call this AEROJET Lite.

TaylorMade is giving golfers the opportunity to stealth up their irons with a limited-edition black PVD phantom finish on their P770s.

In this series, we’re revisiting golf phone holders. Previously, we reviewed the SelfieGOLF Phone Holder  which I’ve enjoyed using. However, the feedback we received suggested it was a bit on the pricey side and there were more affordable alternatives.

In this article, we’re diving into one such alternative, the Golf Phone Holder Clip. It’s a budget-friendly option that aims to deliver the same functionality as higher-priced competitors.

The Problem

Capturing videos of your golf swing isn’t always a straightforward task. As the winter season approaches and many golf courses close for the season, golfers often take this downtime to refine their swings and make improvements.

Having a reliable and easy-to-use method for consistently recording your swing becomes crucial during this period. It provides valuable feedback needed for making effective changes, ensuring you’re ready when the snow melts and the fairways reopen.

The Solution

While tripods or assistance from friends and coaches can work, there are alternative options for achieving a better view and recording of your golf swing. One such solution is the Golf Phone Holder Clip. It’s a straightforward, adjustable and cost-effective tool. Boasting an impressive 4.1-star Amazon rating from 456 reviews, it’s definitely worth considering.

Like building the contents of your perfect golf bag, filling your closet with the proper golf attire should start with some fundamental elements. Having spent the last 15-years traveling the world as a golf apparel designer, I know a thing or two about golf attire.

I’ve been behind the scenes and know exactly what is worth spending your money on, and what you can skip. Whether you’re a casual player or fully obsessed golfaholic, this primer will help you build a golf wardrobe that looks good and works hard.

And a quick note to point out that we’re focusing on men’s golf attire here. Stay tuned for our deep dive into the world of women’s golf apparel.

The Ubiquitous Golf Polo

The uniform of golf begins with a collared shirt and bottoms. Yes, there is room in the golf dress code for any and all manner of variety these days but, for the sake of covering off on the needs and expectations of most golf clubs, a polo (not a t-shirt) is still the ubiquitous silhouette of the game and generally required at private and better public golf courses.

If you remember from Golf Performance Apparel 101, you’re going to want to look for moisture-wicking fabrics and lightweight, breathable layers. We covered that in-depth before, so we’re going so skip to style now.
