Cover story

This might sound a little complicated but just give us a chance on this one...

Urethane vs Ionomer? Both are materials used on the cover of golf balls but what is the difference between them and how does each affect your game?

Wilson Staff DUO Professional - Urethane cover

You'll usually find that balls at the premium end of the market, like the DUO Professional, have Urethane covers due to its noticeably softer feel and fantastic feedback, which is why they're the go-to choice for many Tour pros.

Wilson Staff DX2 Soft - Ionomer cover

On the other hand, Ionomer is cheaper to produce which is why you'll find them on less expensive balls, like the DX2 Soft. These balls tend to spin less off the tee whilst still offering great feel, which is exactly what you get with this ball from Wilson.

A warmer option

As we begin the inevitable slide to Christmas (yes, I said it), it's time to ditch the shorts for some warmer layers. Fortunately, we have a range of mid-layers and jackets available through us that will keep you warm and dry whilst successfully battling the elements this winter.

Layer up with Under Armour

There used to be a time when 'layering' meant chucking on as many clothes as you possibly could in order to keep warm on a winter's day, which regularly resulted in problems when it came to swinging a club.

Luckily for us, today's golf clothing has come a long way in recent years. Not only will you be proud to wear outfits from Under Armour's collection above, but you'll need fewer layers and won't be restricted or overheat whilst playing either!

Video of the Week

With the scores tied at 8-8 going into Sunday's singles matches, we were set for a thriller and the teams didn't disappoint. Watch this video to see how the drama unfolded on the final day at Gleneagles.

Have a great weekend, Dan
