Adams Golf To Make Many Aspirational Golfers Happy With Idea Black CB3 Irons PDF Print E-mail
Forged game-improvement irons that even better players can appreciate
PLANO, Texas - January 23, 2012 - When it comes to game-improvement irons, they can sometimes look a little thick and boxy, but not so with the latest from Adams Golf. The introduction of the Idea Black CB3 Irons, which are finely-tuned and crafted from forged 8620 steel and designed to add forgiveness from the 4 iron through Gap Wedge, will have a wide range of players wanting to add these to their bags. It's the look, the feel and the performance that puts the CB3s in a class all to itself.

"With the CB3's we wanted to create a club with great feel and striking looks but also one that would perform well for a wide range of golfers," said Tim Reed, Vice President of Research and Development of Adams Golf. "We accomplished this with the CB3. Its design enhancements will definitely improve performance for the better player and the aspiring golfer as well."

Triple Milled & Multi-Material Advantage
The CB3 irons use a triple milled construction technique to enhance perimeter weighting and create an extremely thin face with precision grooves that deliver a high level of feel, performance and consistency. The Idea Black CB3 Irons also feature a new multi-material badge in the back cavity which greatly improves vibration and sound.

Custom Fitting
The Idea Black CB3 Irons will be highly customizable. Authorized Adams Golf fitters will have a CB3 fitting kit which has the ability to change lie angle, length, shaft flex and shaft type to fine tune the irons for each golfer's specific game. This set will also be integrated into Adams Golf's HITfit application. Based on an individual's 6-iron launch data, the HITfit app will recommend the proper set makeup including fairway woods, hybrids, irons, and wedges in order to provide the most optimized set each golfer's unique characteristics.

Stock and Custom Shaft Offerings
The Idea Black CB3 Irons will be offered with exceptional premium shafts: KBS Tour 90 (steel) or the Matrix Ozik Program 8.1 (graphite) as the stock shaft options. Through the custom fitting process, other shafts are available at no additional cost (see below for a complete list).

M. Puglielli Black Wedge - Improved Performance
For 2012, the forged M. Puglielli Black Wedges feature a new radial sole geometry that provides heel and toe relief to reduce turf interaction for more consistent shot making from all sorts of lies. Increased spin performance and feel is delivered from a triple milling process (face, grooves and back cavity) along with a laser engraved face to achieve maximum permissible surface roughness. In addition, the M. Puglielli Black Wedges will feature the DG Spinner shaft which can further increase spin up to 700 RPM for even more control. These high performance wedges are offered in RH, LH and multiple bounce and loft combinations.

Models, Pricing and Availability
The Idea Black CB3 irons will have a suggested retail price (MSRP) for $899.99 (steel) and $1099.99 (graphite). They will be offered in both right and left hand in regular, stiff and extra stiff flexes. The Puglielli Black Wedges will have a suggested retail price of $149.99.

Mizuno Introduces The New MP-650 Line Of Woods With New Innovative Technologies For Greater Distance PDF Print E-mail
MP-650 lineup includes driver, fairway woods and hybrids with greater distance and solid impact sound
Norcross, GA - (January 23, 2012) - Mizuno, a worldwide leader in performance irons and woods, today announced the addition of the MP-650 lineup of woods. The new line of woods, including: MP-650 Driver, MP-650 Fairway Wood and MP-650 Hybrid, combine Tour-ready head shapes and specifications with new manufacturing technologies for greater distance, ball control, and solid sound at impact.

MP-650 Driver
The new MP-650 driver is a TOUR Level driver with the head shape, specifications and technologies designed specifically to perform for the better player. Moreover, the better player will crave the slightly open, deeper face, and the 450cc volume. The MP-650's head was designed with an ultra-thin crown which allows for low center of gravity (COG) placement, giving the driver a mid-launch with low spin. Two internal weight pads have been strategically placed to deliver optimal performance - 12g internal weight located low and deep for mid launch and lower spin, while a 6g internal weight is located heel side for a neutral ball flight to provide predictable, yet workable shots.

Considering the input of Mizuno's global brand ambassadors, the MP-650 driver was developed with a player preferred and classic pear shape, which helps produce a neutral to slight fade trajectory. Newly introduced 3-layer multi-thickness CORTECH used in the face design has been engineered into this driver to provide Mizuno's largest COR-AREA ever for a MP driver. The technologies and design elements engineered into the MP-650 driver will truly optimize distance and control off the tee.

"The MP-650 Driver contains the latest technologies that will allow consumers to hit the ball further and straighter than any other club," said Dick Lyons, Vice President and General Manager of the Golf Division, Mizuno USA. "The deep face and 450cc head size along with the CORTECH multi-thickness face allows for maximum distance with complete ball control."

Available Lofts: 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 (Right Handed Only)
Shaft: Fujikura Orochi 65 D
Grip: Golf Pride M-21 60R
Other Options available through Mizuno's Custom Department
Suggested Retail Price: $399.99

MP-650 Fairway Woods
Designed to deliver maximum distance, versatility and control, Mizuno introduces the MP-650 Titanium fairway woods. Extensive research and development went into the creation of the 5-piece titanium construction, including multi-thickness 6-4 Ti forged cup face geometry near legal limit for COR, and the development of a sophisticated 60 gram internal weight pad delivers the perfect balance of distance, trajectory, and ball control.

The MP-650 fairway woods feature a classic pear shaped head with an open face angle, producing a straight to slight fade ball trajectory. Mizuno's innovative Harmonic Impact Technology (H.I.T.), along with PGA Tour feedback, helped ensure the MP-650 fairway woods deliver a solid and powerful sound at impact.

"The fairway woods were constructed with the players in mind, using extensive research and development we've created the longest fairway wood to date," said Lyons. "The 5-piece titanium construction paired with the Harmonic Impact Technology delivers a controllable distance and a solid feel at impact."

Available Lofts: 13.5°, 15.0°, 18.0° (Right Handed Only)
Shaft: Fujikura Orochi 75 FW
Grip: Golf Pride M-21 60
Other Options available through Mizuno's Custom Department
Suggested Retail Price: $249.99

MP-650 Hybrid
Mizuno created the MP-650 hybrid to provide the easy launch and neutral, controllable ball flight that lower handicap players have been searching for in hybrids. A 1770 maraging stainless steel cup face design combined with a 431 high-tech precision cast steel body delivers extremely high initial ball speeds and consistent distance. Pairing together a head shape that has been redesigned to be cleaner, and more refined, instills confidence at address. The MP-650 provides unmatched hybrid performance for true shot makers.

"Playability and control are the most important aspects of a hybrid, which is the reason we developed the MP-650 Hybrid," said Lyons. "We feel strongly that the MP-650 Hybrid is the perfect complement to the elite golfer's bag."

Available Lofts: 17°(#2), 19°(#3), 22°(#4) (Right Hand Only)
Shaft: Fujikura Orochi 85 HY
Grip: Golf Pride M-21 60
