Tour Edge is a midwestern (Illinois) company with solid midwestern values. They’re not fancy, they don’t pay any pros to play their clubs, don’t do a lot of national advertising and they deliver good value at a good price. I own an older model Tour Edge driver that played very well for me for a couple of years. (It was one of several, including an Adams, a Peerless, and a Golfworks that I rotated).

The latest from Tour Edge is the Tour Edge Bazooka Jmax Carbon Driver. It has a carbon crown and a thin titanium face. The lighter materials allow Tour Edge to distribute weight to the perimeter of the club to encourage either a draw or a fade bias (I’d get the fade bias).

The best part about this club, though, is the price. You can get it for right around $250.

For me, that’s a good price point for a storebought club (you can, of course, build one for less).

I’m doing my taxes right now on the computer and taking a break by crusing the golf sites—dreaming about what I’m going to do with the rebate. I keep coming back to this one: the Big Bertha 454 Driver.

It’s a beautiful looking club. Here’s Callaway’s official blurb:

Maximized weighting along the back ribbon of the club makes it ultra-resistant to twisting and deadly accurate off the tee. Massive two-piece, 454cc all-titanium clubhead construction for a high Moment of Inertia with more resistance to twisting on off-center hits. Huge effective hitting area on the club face for more forgiveness. Patented Callaway Golf technologies include Short Straight Hollow Hosel (S2H2) design that repositions weight from the hosel area to the perimeter. Plus, Thru-Bore technology provides improved feel and club head control. Lightweight, ultrathin titanium face designed right up to the new USGA Characteristic Time (CT) test.

New from Adams Golf is the Redline RPM Driver. RPM stands for Repositioned Mass, which, Adams says, means moving weight from the crown to the soleplate. This is possible because the crown is made of a lightweight carbon composite. What I find interesting about this, and several other drivers out this year, is that the “acceptable price” of drivers seems to have fallen a bit this year. The Redline RPM retails for $299.99
