Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select KOMBI Putter Review

The Scotty Cameron Putters of Titleist are preferred by tour players because they helped a lot of golfers achieve numerous awards. Scotty Cameron also released several new models this year among which the high-performance semicircle putter Scotty Cameron Studio Select KOMBI is one of the most outstanding putters. The Scotty Cameron Kombi series have standard and mid, long models to choose. Each Kombi putter is precisely milled with the 6061 aluminum alloy material. Combining this with the exclusive weights technology of Studio Select, this Scotty Cameron Studio Select can provide you with solid hand feel. In addition, this Kombi putter adopts thick face along with three weight positions (heel, toe and back) design to enhance club’s stability and balance. This can further enhance golfers’ direction control on ball roll. From the view of aesthetics, each putter of Kombi series has ultra-high visual value. You are able to enjoy excellent hitting feel when using it. Two circular weights are separately installed at heel and toe for the standard Kombi putter to make it adjust to shafts with different length and weight for satisfying golfers of different levels and dealing with various green states. Just because of its powerful adjustability, golfers always can find a type fittest for them among this series. For the mid and long putters, Kombi Mid uses center latching weight block instead of the original circular block to create more proper head weight and increase stability of shaft.

The Scotty Cameron Studio Select Kombi putters add advanced mallet designs to the Studio Select family in Standard (33", 34", 35"), Mid (42", 43", 44") and Long (48", 50") models. And with the Spring 2010 addition of the Studio Select Kombi-S to the line, Scotty created a slightly more compact head shape milled from 303 stainless steel. Studio Select Kombi H and Kombi-S H putters, available in 34" and 35" models, feature a heavier head (+10g) to provide a heavier feel preferred by some players. Studio Select Kombi H and Kombi-S H models are custom built at Titleist and are differentiated by a special Circle H shaft band.

Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter Review

The Studio Select line is the result of Scotty Cameron's Putter research and their drive to create a putter collection with the finest technical performance and incredible overall feel. Compared with the previous Newport-series product line, this Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter moves the original precisely milled German stainless steel (GSS) insert and directly uses the milled 303 stainless steel, so the contact feel and sound have some slight differences. Different from previous Newport series, the head toe and heel weights are made adjustable, allowing golfers to tune weights according to their needs. The circular heel-toe weights provide amplified stability by reducing head rotation on off-centre impacts for a larger sweet spot. The factory adjustable weights are set to provide the proper head weight-to-shaft length combination.

Another difference is the three red spots on head back. The clubface toe also has the same three red spots. This new Scotty Cameron Newport continues Scotty traditional high toe profile design to help golfers on more stable hitting shots. What deserves to be mentioned is the adjustable weight, which allows the clubhead with different weight to separately match to 33, 34 and 35 inches shafts. This Studio putter mainly has two kinds of heads--Newport and Newport 2 with three different hosel designs. Most putter club heads can just combine with 35 inches shaft, so there are a lot of light putters combined with too short shaft, or too heavy putter combined with too long shaft. Engineers usually use the same clubhead with various shaft lengths, making golfers just hit the ball away but can not let ball roll with forward spin, which leads to distance out of control. However, the entirely new Studio can solve this problem. These tour proven Newport-style putters have bold red graphics, high toe profile, and heel & toe circular weights.

Titleist Scotty Cameron Detour Newport 2 Putter Review

The Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Detour Putter combines the classic style of the Newport putters with the Detour design and weighting features. The Scotty Cameron Design Newport Detour putters feature an innovative arched design to show the player the shape of the proper putting stroke. The Titleist Scotty Cameron Detour Newport 2 Putter helps the player maintain this arc-shaped putting stroke by incorporating the curved line into the putter’s design. The Newport 2 has a fashionable milling rust proofing profile which connects arched aluminum clubface with head. It features the original Detour design for a traditional-taste putter. Slightly curved shape along with orange guideline to show golfers correct putt shots. Scotty Cameron has been on a bit of a trip lately in the mind of some, which pushed his belief to the forefront with the odd-looking "Detour" putter. It's the number one putter on the PGA Tour today. The stainless steel weights behind the clubhead help divide weight into three parts and distribute them at different corners to achieve high moment of inertia and enhance stability in dynamic state. The brand-new orange Studio design grip perfectly matches to the orange headcover. Stepless steel shaft shows its clean look at alignment for positive feel and response.

Like most Cameron putters, the Newport Detours have two characteristics that help arc-stroke putters: toe flow (or toe hang) and a shaft towards the heel (Scotty is quick to point out that true "heel-shafted" putters, like the Wilson 8802, are quite different than the heel biased putters he creates). Both the toe hang and the heelish shaft aid players in releasing the putter head through impact. Its deep and low center of gravity reduces skidding and produces a truer roll. It features a T-6 6061 Aircraft Aluminum face and body with a 303 Stainless Steel frame and back-weight. The Newport 2 is designed by Scotty Cameron, a name known on the professional circuit. Professional golfers trust the name and use it to take home championships cheap Scotty Cameron putters.

Titleist Scotty Cameron Red X3 Putter Review

The entirely new Scotty Cameron Red X3 Putter has elegant clubhead and glare-resistant Charcoal Mist finish to provide unmatched look and feel. The original model clubhead of Red X is precisely milled with the 303 stainless steel. The internal clubhead has been precisely milled and made hollow, combining with aluminum alloy plate on sole to precisely tune the head weights for optimal head center of gravity, allowing golf ball to roll smoother and straighter. The clubface is embedded with precisely-milled German stainless steel (GSS), and a layer of elastomer thin-film, making Red X3 provide the best feedback hand feel and the most comfortable sound on impact. The Red X3 has a hosel-less shaft while the Red X5 has the plumber's neck. Both feature the new Charcoal Mist finish and the black anodized sole plate. While the new Titleist Scotty Cameron Red X3 Putter looks a lot like the original Red X with its hosel-less heel-shafted configuration, it is subtly different. While the original carried a single-bend shaft with a full shaft-width of offset, the Red X3 has only a quarter shaft of offset. That may not sound like a big difference, but it is going to produce a noticeable change in the look at address. These differences are a good thing in that they mean the Red X3 with its solid head and different offset is going to give players another option as they choose a mallet putter. Choice is always good.

The Scotty Cameron Red X3 mallet features refined shapes with a new glare-resistant Charcoal Mist finish for unmatched looks and feel. Both models are precision milled from 303 Stainless Steel and finished with a black anodized aluminum soleplate with red graphics that conceals the precise internal weighting. The Titleist Scotty Cameron Red X3 Putter features a classic, single bend shaft with shaft of offset for the ideal toe-flow through the stroke. Its design takes a classic mallet into another realm of performance and style. a solid face, new graphics, a new finish, and a single sight line to guide the way.

Tim Clark signs endorsement deal with Titleist

Several players have arrived on the island of Maui this week sporting new equipment deals. Jim Furyk and Camilo Villegas have joined TaylorMade; Tim Clark has become a full-line Titleist ambassador; U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell is now a Srixon man. Others have made changes, too.

Clark has ended his relationship with Srixon and signed an endorsement contract with Titleist. Below is a list of the clubs that the winner of the 2010 Players Championship will be using in Hawaii at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions at the Kapalua Resort.

So which equipment company did Rocco Mediate sign with in the offseason?

“No club deals,” he announced outside the clubhouse at Kapalua. “Not looking for one. I turned them all down.”

In early October, Mediate was resigned to returning to Q-School to earn his 2011 PGA Tour card. Then lightning struck with a victory at the Frys.com Open and its accompanying two-year exemption, and Mediate, who turned 48 in December, now will be exempt all the way into his Champions Tour days.

“It got me a job for life,” he said.

He previously had a club deal with Callaway, but the two parties went different ways in the middle of last season. So why, like most, wouldn’t he pursue a club deal that would pay him six figures simply for playing a certain brand? He says he wants the freedom to play what’s best for him; he figures on any given Sunday, one or two shots could make up for the financial security he’s given up.

“I proved it last fall,” he said, referring to his victory at CordeValle in San Martin, Calif.

That’s not to say Mediate won’t be deriving at least some endorsement income this season. He did sign a ball/glove agreement with Titleist and has two new corporate sponsors added to his repertoire, both with connections to his native Pittsburgh. He’s wearing a Dick’s Sporting Goods hat (and appearing in commercials for the sporting goods retailer) and also is sporting the logo of Taggart, a Pennsylvania coal company, on his sleeve.

What’s Tim Clark’s bag?

DRIVER: Titleist 910D3 (10.5°) with a Mitsubishi 'ahina 60X shaft
FAIRWAY WOODS: Titleist 910F (15°) with a Grafallow Prolite 35X; Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead Plus (17°) with an Aldila RCH 36 shaft

Jason Bohn’s Bag

"Get up, man," Jason Bohn's college roommate said, kicking him in the leg a couple of times. Asleep on the floor, Bohn groaned, rolled over and told his roommate to go away.

"No," his friend said. "Get up. We've got to go to the golf course. Now."

This was nearly 20 years ago. Bohn had left Lewisburg, Pa., for the University of Alabama with the dream of becoming a professional golfer. It's a dream that eventually came true for Bohn, a seven-year veteran on tour who this week will defend his title at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at the TPC Louisiana.

But on the morning of Nov. 1, 1992, the last thing Bohn felt like doing was hitting golf balls.

"The night before was Halloween," Bohn recalled. "I was 19 and we'd been to a bunch of costume parties. Alcohol was involved. All I wanted to do was sleep."

But he and his friends had signed up and paid for a fundraiser at the course. "It was an event to raise money to restore Jemison Mansion," Bohn said. "A home that burned in the Civil War."

A week earlier, Bohn had borrowed $10 for 10 chances to hit a golf ball into a 10-foot circle from 135 yards. For every ball he could hit into the circle, he'd get a shot the following weekend to participate in the semifinals of the contest.

“The High Definition Golf Simulator has been a great asset to my game. With it being the coldest winter I can remember, it has provided me the ability to keep my game sharp in the off-season. Your simulator provides me with more measurements and visual detail than any other comparable simulator. I am also thoroughly impressed how well your simulator can accurately measure the speed of the ball, my launch angle, swing path, my club face angle at contact and even ball spin. Your simulator has enabled me to test equipment with the new groove policies, and ultimately make my equipment changes with confidence. My family and I have really enjoyed hitting balls and practicing our short games, and when my young boys are finished, we love to pop in a movie and watch in High Definition. Thanks for creating a wonderful training tool for me, and fun for my whole family. Keep up the great work. It's a great simulator!”

Titleist CB 710 Irons 3-9P Review

Exclusively made for high-skilled golfers, the forged cavity back CB 710 Irons have extremely great control. The high-performance irons use traditional forged cavity back for enhanced hand feel. The classical look and the best control are especially provided for high-skilled players. Forged from 1025 carbon steel with bright chrome plating, Titleist CB 710 Irons feature slightly longer, constant blade lengths, and a softer topline for visual confidence at address. The optimized cavity muscle can provide solider hand feel, which will allow you to enjoy your golf game freely. Its look is also very elegant. Titleist CB 710 uses round melting look and lie design for softer contact with ground when hitting. Titleist CB 710 Irons feature dual-sole length. The shorter sole helps move weight to lower position to enhance optimal trajectory while the longer sole of mid and short irons helps manage trajectory easily. All cavity back design provides higher moment of inertia and playability than MB for greater forgiveness. High-performance and lightweight NS Pro 950 shaft provides both stability and elasticity for better hand feel. The standard grip this CB 710 uses is tour-proven Titleist Tour Velvet Rubber by Golf Pride. Optimized cavity shape and inner cavity muscle behind the impact area provides solid feel. Lower CG long irons provide a slightly higher flight versus MB. A rounder profile provide a classic but improved contemporary look, while the new CB Irons also feature a blunted leading edge and a high performance cambered sole design for smooth turf entry and release.

Titleist 910H Hybrid Review

This progressive multi-functional 910H can provide excellent performance for you from tee to turf. Titleist 910 multi-functional club offers comprehensive enhanced performance. It has been improved on aspects of flight trajectory, shape, sound and feel. Titleist 910H Hybrid provides higher flight trajectory and low backspin for higher control, stability, sound as well as hand feel. The clubhead has been redesigned to produce higher flight trajectories, and the entirely new hosel design allows golfers to independently adjust loft and lie for optimal trajectory, distance and control. The "SureFit Tour" dual-angle hosel offers 16 settings to independently customize loft and lie, and to optimize ball flight via both trajectory and directional bias. The trajectory provided by 910H is more stable. Progressive CG technology is better for launch trajectory and backspin. The CG location is designed for lower backspin. Titleist 910H Hybrid features progressive CG design. Smaller loft equals to deeper CG for higher launch trajectory while larger loft equals to shallower CG for better backspin control. This 910H has a mid launch angle, mid trajectory, straighter flight and lower backspin. Round and wide toe design helps inspire confidence. The clubhead of 910H is 5% larger than the previous 909H for better optimized weights, and its moment of inertia (MOI) reaches to 2430g/cm², 22% higher than 909H.

Titleist tested the performance of 909H and 910H on tee and turf. 910H Hybrid produces 90rpm lower backspin on turf and 0.25 degree higher launch trajectory on tee than 909H. They have similar distance but this 910H has more stable landing area, enhanced by 18%. Golfers also tested this hybrid. The result is this new Titleist hybrid has more distance, higher accuracy, playability, and better hand feel. They said that its hand feel is very solid, and the trajectory is not over high and is powerful.

About 712 MB irons

Shot to shot and round after round, Titleist Brand Ambassador Bill Haas was the model of consistency at the Viking Classic. Relying on the Pro V1x golf ball and his complete bag of Titleist equipment, including the new 910D2 driver, Haas captured the championship in impressive wire-to-wire fashion, notching his second career victory. Halfway around the globe, another Titleist Brand Ambassador, Michio Matsumura also relied on the Pro V1x golf ball and a new 910 driver to capture his first career win on the Japan Golf Tour. Three additional wins on the Nationwide, Asian and South African Tours, respectively, advance Titleist's 2010 worldwide win count to 111, more than five times the nearest competitor with 21. More proof that, when it comes to performance excellence from tee-to-green, more of the world's best players trust Titleist.

The seeding and tour validation process for the new Prototype Titleist AP1, AP2, CB and MB (712 Series) irons continued this week at TPC Deere Run, which kept our Titleist Tour Reps moving at tractor-speed (or probably faster) for the three practice days at the John Deere Classic.

The former Auburn University player had a 69 to go two clear of Bobby Gates, Matt Jones and Seung-yul Noh as he moved to 13 under par.

McGinley said that a player who owns 710 CB or MB irons won't feel much difference if he tries the new 712 CB or MBs, and that's by design. The pros who use the clubs—like Rory McIlroy, Geoff Ogilvy and Rickie Fowler—give the company lots of good feedback on them, so Titleist doesn't want to tweak these classic forged blades too much, McGinley said.

Titleist 712 MB irons feature a uniform muscle shape that provides more mass behind the impact area to achieve the quintessential soft, solid feel. This weighting also produces consistent launch angle, backspin and ball speed in order to provide precise distance and shot control demanded by better players. The classic design and traditional feel and responsiveness of the new MB irons will please even the most adamant traditional iron enthusiasts.

Titleist introduces the new Titleist MB 712 irons featuring improved feel and looks. The MB are classic muscle back forged irons that deliver the looks, feel and performance highly-skilled players demand.

Forged from 1025 carbon steel with bright chrome plating, MB irons feature constant blade lengths, minimal progressive offset and a thin top line for superior shot making.

Rory McIlroy Add the 712 MB to His Bag

You'll have to wait about four months to try Titleist's new 712 Series irons, but pros at the AT&T National are getting their first chance to hit the new AP1, AP2, CB and MB irons this week. (Photos below; Titleist uses 700 numbers for irons, and the 12 indicates the model year.)

So impressed was US Open champion Rory McIlroy with the new 712 Series Titleist MB irons that he put them straight into his bag for last week's Dunhill Links Championship and almost won the tournament. He only lost out to fellow Titleist ambassador Michael Hoey on St Andrew's famed final green.

The new irons, a prototype of which was also used by Rickie Fowler at The Open Championship, will be available to club golfers from November 18.

Titleist says both the MB and CB forged irons, also out in November, feature improved looks feel and performance and build on the classic designs of their 710 Series predecessors.
He would soon take the new irons out to the course for further testing, along with his new Vokey Design Spin Milled 4 (SM4) wedges.

A couple days later, Rory arrived at Kingsbarns for Round 1 with both the new MB irons and SM4 wedges in the bag, ready for action.

He would go on to shoot rounds of 70-67-66-65 for a 20-under total and finish second in the Dunhill Links. At the Koren Open the following week, Rory shot a tournament-best 6-under 64 in the final round to rally for another runner-up finish.

And last Sunday in China, Rory got up-and-down from a greenside bunker on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the Shanghai Masters and cap a spectacular opening month for his new Titleist equipment.

For the majority of 2011, Rory gamed Titleist MB irons with Project X 6.5 shafts.

But during the fitting session in Scotland, Titleist Tour Technician Mattias Jelvernoticed that Rory was swinging harder and faster than ever, a result of the U.S. Open champ's escalated fitness regimen.

Accordingly, Mattias suggested Rory test a stronger version of his current shaft in the new MB irons, moving from the Project X 6.5 to Project X 7.0.

Rory said he really liked the look and feel of the new MB irons. The Project X 7.0 shafts only gave him more confidence, resulting in a stronger ball flight with slightly reduced spin. The data on the computer showed an increase of 2-3 mph in ball speed and five yards of added distance with each iron.

Titleist 755 CB Irons 3-9P Review

Titleist 755 CB Irons are the new weapon of Titleist seventh series. Like 755, 755 CB is also forged with the 410 stainless steel through six forging processes to create elegant quality and soft clubhead. After the previous forged 735 CM and 775 CB, Titleist releases the new forged 755 irons. These entirely-new irons have appeared on AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. At that time, Australia player Arron Oberholser used the original model club to get his first US Tour champion, but Titleist launches this iron till now. Designers especially embed T-6 6061 Aluminum Vibration Dampening Chip into cavity back. According to Titleist, this design not only can absorb vibration on impact, and enhance contact feel, but also can save weight because of light aluminum material and distribute the saved weight to toe and heel for increased moment of inertia and hitting stability. Long and short irons have different push length. This new 755 CB of Titleist has thinner clubface design in order to put saved weight to cavity back. The weight saved from aluminum vibration-absorption creates more obvious cavity back edge weight and toe, heel weight effect for increased forgiveness. On the aspect of CG design of clubhead, CG is upper and more closed to face with increase of iron number, so long 755 CB Irons have low and deep center of gravity, making it easy to launch ball while short irons have exceptional control performance. In addition, the push length of long and short irons is different. The 755 CB #3 to #7 has shorter push to put saved weight to head back while #8 to PW iron has longer push for slightly higher center of gravity.

The notch cut out of the weight shelf - and the red aluminum chip - are the dominant visual element in the 755 irons. The angular red chip gives the irons a sleek, modern look. The only other adornment on the clubs is the Titleist script logo in the upper toe of the cavity, and a FORGED stamp and two black rings on the hosel. The area around the aluminum chip has the same milling marks that were first seen in the cavities of the 775 CB irons, but employed more subtly.

Titleist CB 712 Irons

The Titleist 712 CB irons are crafted for serious golfers and feature a slightly wider sole than the 712 MBs helping players that are more aggressive through the turf at impact.

The 712 CBs are described as "a reinterpretation, not a complete reinvention" of the previous 710 CBs irons by Steve Pelisek, General Manager of Titleist.

A new satin-chrome finish reduces glare and accentuates the toe and top-line profile for easier alignment. The shallow cavity, muscle design on the Titleist 712 CB irons has been optimised behind the impact area to improve feel and a rounder profile, and soft top-line provide a classic but improved contemporary look. The improved weighting also produces consistent launch angles, backspin and ball speed in order to provide precise distance and shot control demanded by better players.

The Titleist 712 CB set also provides increased inertia, forgiveness and a slightly higher ball flight compared with the 712 MBs.

Another difference between the two sets is in the soles. The 712 MB sole has more relief (compared to the 710 MB) in the heel and toe, lessening turf interaction; the 712 CB sole is a little bit wider than the MB. The MB sole, Titleist says, is good for golfers with a shallow angle of attack who take little or no divot; the CB sole is better for golfers who take deeper divots.

Both sets have constant blade lengths, but the 712 CB topline is a bit bigger, and the minimal offset is progressive in the MB set but constant in the CB irons.

A Dynamic Gold steel shaft is stock in both sets, as is a Titleist Tour Velvet Rubber by Golf Pride grip. Numerous custom shalf and grip options are available.

The Titleist CB 712 irons replace the 710 model of the same name and given that it is were so successful, there are not any major changes. The biggest visual change is the chrome satin finish which we think looks great. The sole is a little wider and the trailing edge on the back of the head has a little camber on it, both of which make it a little more playable.

Titleist 775 CB Irons 3-9P Review

This forged 755 CB is a composite iron which can provide great playability and high, far trajectory golfer desire. The ultra-large composite long irons can hit higher to produce longer distance and higher forgiveness. The 775 CB irons have different designs for the long irons and mid-to-short irons. While the 6-iron through the 50° gap wedge is one-piece forged cavity backs, the 3-, 4- and 5-irons are all oversized multi-material designs. The stainless steel forged head of Titleist 775 CB #4 and #5 irons gathers nearly 80% weight distribution. This kind of distribution design can enhance the hitting efficiency on off-center hits. The #4 and #5 long irons also feature tough face insert for lower, deeper center of gravity and better playability, and they distribute 20 grams weight on perimeter and sole of clubhead. 775 CB #4 and #5 irons have thinner clubfaces which have been embedded with forged vibration-absorption aluminum tube with a purpose to weaken vibration on impact and promote the hitting sound and hand feel. This bar - which is anodized a deep red and really stands out - is meant to dampen vibration and reinforce the thin face insert. With longer shaft and changed face loft, #3 and #4 long irons design successfully increases clubhead speed for increased distance.

The long irons in the 775 CB set also have a heaping helping of offset. The 3-iron has more than double the offset of the 695 MB irons, or much more than you'd ever expect to see on a Titleist iron (more on that below). The amount of offset is in line with what other game-improvement irons sport, but it looks more pronounced because of the square-toe, high-heel design that Titleist uses in all its irons. The short irons among this 775 CB Iron set have strong control around the greens. Powerful face angle design provides golfers with better trajectory control and farther distance. The Titleist 775 CBs are sweet irons for 15-handicappers who want to be a single-digit within a year, or for the has-been scratch player who finally realizes the low 70 scores are a once-a-year occurrence.

Titleist 2010 AP2 Irons 3-9P Review

“The entirely new AP1 and AP2 irons have been largely improved on hand feel, forgiveness and hitting control, and the original revolutionary iron design has been promoted,” The general manager of Titleist golf club Steve Pelisek said, “The all-new AP1 and AP2 irons have the most effective collocation design on market of exceptional hitting control, forgiveness, traditional look, hand feel and solid contact feel.

Titleist 910 D3 Driver Review

With a technologically advanced head design, the Titleis 910 D3 driver features a ball-speed area that is 10% larger than other drivers to deliver longer distance. And the patented SureFit Tour dual-angle hosel provides wider effective hitting area and more ideal launch loft, as well as the further flight distance with accuracy and control. High performance weighting and a sloped, ultra-thin crown design and an on-axis rear weight screw increases stability and creates a low and deep center of gravity for high launch with low spin. Compared with D2, D3 has a lower launch and spin. With the acoustically engineered structure, the Titleist 910 D3 driver has a not and solid sound that makes golfer feel well. So the tune is so important to players. An interchangeable shaft connection and rear weight screw provide enhanced fitting options. And the full pear-shaped profile has a rich black and paint finish that allows confidence at the address. So, the Titleist 910 D3 driver will make you become superstar in the course.

Many testers hold the opinions about Titleist 910 D3 driver: it has solid sound and the flight is more penetrating into the wind. This is the greatest driver ever, but what people are really missing is the shaft selection. By getting the right head/shaft combination (For the same price), anyone can gain massive distance. The face of this driver is incredibly hot as well. Titleist is the cream of the crop, and anyone can hit this driver. It will be one of the best investments you make on golf equipment.

Titleist MB 712 Irons

Over the last few weeks, the Titleist Tour Department has been focused on building these iron sets to the custom specifications of our Titleist Brand Ambassadors.

This week at AT&T, members of the Titleist Leadership and R&D teams will begin working with our players to show, explain, fit and test the new irons, a process that will continue over the coming weeks across the worldwide professional tours. The feedback we receive during this validation process influences the design and specifications of the Titleist products available in golf shops around the world.

We will continue to provide behind-the-scenes information and product details here on the Team Titleist blog throughout the seeding and performance validation process.

You'll have to wait about four months to try Titleist's new 712 Series irons, but pros at the AT&T National are getting their first chance to hit the new AP1, AP2, CB and MB irons this week.

While the heads of the new AP1 irons are the same size as their predecessors, their most significant new feature is a progressive blade length.

Titleist MB 712 Irons feature a uniform muscle shape that provides more mass behind the impact area to achieve the quintessential soft, solid feel. This weighting also produces consistent launch angle, backspin and ball speed in order to provide precise distance and shot control demanded by better players.

The Titleist MB 712 Irons are classic muscle back forged irons that deliver the looks, feel and performance highly-skilled players demand. Forged from 1025 carbon steel with bright chrome plating, MB irons feature constant blade lengths, minimal progressive offset and a thin topline for superior shot making.

The classic design and traditional feel and responsiveness of the new Titleist MB 712 Irons will please even the most adamant traditional iron enthusiasts.

Titleist decided not to release a combo set, blending CB long irons with short Titleist MB 712 Irons.

“If you do that, you’re assuming what the player needs, and we don’t want to do that,” he said. “The fact that we can make those custom means that we don’t have to make a pre-packaged set. Everyday golfers can go get fit for Titleist irons and order a mixed set if they want.”

The Titleist MB 712 Irons are clubs which will allow you to shape shots. Your swing has to be honed in very well to keep from spraying the ball.

The slightest grip change and/or stance can have a large effect on where your ball goes. If you’re confident in your swing and it is repeatable then I would recommend these clubs. Before purchasing Titleist MB 712 Irons, I would take them to the range on Grass and give them a try.

Winner of McGladrey Classic

Ben Crane won The McGladrey Classic on Oct. 16, 2011 on the Seaside Course in Sea Island, Georgia. He is the third different golfer to win a tournament during the three Fall Series events. Ben was also the third golfer to win his first 2011 PGA event on the Fall Tour. He won the event in a dramatic playoff as the Fall Series has produced two playoffs back to back. As a PGA fan, I enjoy the exciting playoff finishes and there have been plenty in 2011. It is also fun for me to have a so many different winners in absence of a dominant golfer. Ben Crane also enjoyed winning $720,000. Runner up Webb Simpson lost in a playoff. Michael Thompson missed the playoff by one stroke.

In 2006, just before he turned 30, Ben was the highest ranked American golfer under that age in the Official World Golf Rankings. In 2010, he carded a final-round 70 to win the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines by a single stroke, and in October 2010, he won the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic Malaysia, an event co-sanctioned by the PGA TOUR and Asian Tour. Ben won the 2011 McGladrey Classic by defeating Webb Simpson in a playoff.

Coming from out of the woodwork in the final round with a 63, Crane was able to force a playoff with tournament favorite—and possible player of the year—Webb Simpson.

Crane was all business on the first hole of sudden death as he split the fairway with his tee shot then followed up with an approach that he branded "The best I've got," in a TV interview. Frustratingly, he hurried his five-footer and allowed Webb to get up-and-down from the bunker to force a second playoff hole.

Both Crane's and Simpson's approach found the green and just as it looked as if Simpson would two-putt to force a third playoff hole, he lipped the putt out—to gasps and groans from the crowd—and the tournament was Crane's.

He was asked after the win if he thought he had a chance to win the tournament after the turn when he still trailed the leader by six strokes.

"I wasn't even looking at the leaderboard because I didn't feel like I had an opportunity to look at the leaderboard," Crane said in a TV interview. "I was just riding a hot putter, making those big putts at 10 and 11, then again at 14 and 15.

"I looked up on the 16th green and was like, 'Wow, I'm two back.' I ran one in there, then the adrenaline went through me when I birdied 17."
