Power Play System Q Dual Irons

Power Play System Q Dual Iron

The Power Play System Q Dual Irons offer customized weighting in an iron. The heel and toe ports accept 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 gram weight screws to enable you to customize your ball flight. The irons also feature an oversized face and a wide sole with reduced bounce to enhance forgiveness.

This isn’t a bad idea. I tend to hook my short irons and slice the long ones. A set like this could help to straighten them all out.

Pete Dye In Hall of Fame

Pete Dye, designer of the TPC Sawgrass, has been selected for the World Golf Hall of Fame. Dye was selected in the Lifetime Achievement Category, and joins architects Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie and Robert Trent Jones, Sr.

“This is really a surprise,” Dye said. “With all the great people that are in the Hall of Fame, it’s an honor to be part of them because they’ve all given back to the game of golf, and I’m certainly proud to be here as one of them.”

We have a great Pete Dye course near GolfBlogger World Headquarters in Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan’s Radrick Farms. There’s a photo at left, and you can see more photos of this hidden gem here.

Anthony Kim Hype Begins

Anthony Kim is the latest up-and-comer to be offered as the next challenger to Tiger. This time, it’s Ron Sirak mixing the cool aid.

Who are the leading candidates to mount such a challenge? Well, start with the defending champion at the Players, Phil Mickelson. Lefty, Ogilvy and Anthony Kim—last week’s winner at the Wachovia Championship—are the only winners this year on tour, other than Woods, who also have a runner-up finish on their dance card. And Kid Kim, the brash 22-year-old whose game is catching up to his attitude, is the only tour player with a trifecta this year, finishing first, second and third.

Mickelson and Ogilvy have won major championships, and they have won with Woods in the field. Kim has neither of those distinctions, yet somehow he has the feel of being the member of that trio who just might be up to the task of taking on Tiger. If nothing else, because he is young and in just his second full season on tour, he has accumulated less emotional scar tissue courtesy of Woods than those guys who have been on the receiving end of his greatness for the past dozen years.

Kid Kim is coming on. After missing three cuts in four starts beginning at the Northern Trust Open, Kim has finished second, T-19 and first—all at events in which Woods did not play. But the point is this: Kim is using the time Tiger is on the sidelines to build some momentum and acquire added confidence. That’s exactly what some other guys need to be doing.

I’d love to see someone step up and be the Palmer, Player, Trevino, Miller, Watson or Strange to Tiger’s Nicklaus. But I’ve despaired of it happening. There’s a sort of Alexander The Great quality to all of this ... Alexander, who at the age of 32 wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. Tiger is that age now; does he wonder where his Watson is?

Heavy Putter D3-DF Putter


Heavy Putter D3-DF Putter

I love my Heavy Putter. It’s a B-1 model from a couple of years ago and is the best I’ve every played. It’s astonishingly heavy (as the name implies), and as such encourages a smooth, wristless putting motion. It’s deadly from ten feet in, and once you get used to it, pretty good on the lag, too.

The D3-DF model shown here is the latest from the company. It’s humpback design raises the center of gravity which, together with the deep face, is supposed to encourage better contact with the sweet spot. The rails on the bottom of the club are supposed to make it sit perfectly on the green, eliminiating stubbing.

But here’s the main feature: the head weights 465 grams, and there is a 250 gram weight in the grip end of the shaft that creates a balance point that is 75% higher up the shaft than a conventional putter.

He ain’t heavy ... he’s my putter.

Sorry. I couldn’t resist.
