Revealed: Our top driver of 2019

Looking for a new driver this year? There is plenty of choice out there so why not grab a coffee, take five and watch our latest video on why Wilson Staff's D7 driver has set our pulses racing this year?

“The feel off the face is absolutely fantastic; it feels so fast, so powerful”

Wilson’s D7 driver deserves to be shouted about much more in 2019, especially as it fires to the top of our favourites list. Technology comes to the fore with Dynamic Launch Control, which changes internal weighting depending on the head to maximise impact for faster ball speeds.

The ease of shot shaping only goes to add to the D7’s undeniable appeal:

“Easy to hit nice draw shots and the spin was nice and low”

In order to get the maximum performance from the rip-roaring D7, it is vital you try it out for yourself and get the driver and shaft combination that is perfectly suited to your game.

Flop shot required

Type ‘flop shot’ into Google and Phil Mickelson’s name will be at the top of the search. The five-time Major champion is the go-to guy when it comes to shots around the green, especially the flop shot. So, if you want to follow suit and impress your golfing partners, here’s our guide to this magical shot.

Technique

The first thing you must do is accelerate through the ball and stay aggressive. It's when we get a little scared or take our eye off the ball that things start to go wrong, all of which we can explain during a short game lesson.

Wedge

Your wedge plays a vital role with worn grooves and incorrect bounce leaving you at risk of a bladed shot through the green. Nightmare!

Wilson Staff’s PMP wedges are arguably the best around to execute this shot properly as Precision Milled Performance technology provides the perfect way to get the ball popping up in the air and stopping quickly.

Spotlight | Titleist TS hybrids

TS2 or TS3?

You will probably recognise these names from the new drivers that Titleist released last year. Well, they've carried on their pursuit of speed and have conjured up these two beauties as a result.

Both offer extreme yet controllable distances, along with more forgiveness when compared to previous Titleist hybrids.

The TS2 has a larger head and is arguably easier to hit, whilst the TS3 comes with the SureFit CG for ball flight control.

Video of the Week

There aren't too many Guinness World Records when it comes to golf, but here's a video of four European Tour players trying to get their hands on one of them! Enjoy.

Have a great weekend, Dan
