Srixon Sports  announces the launch of Srixon’s I-701 and I-701 Tour irons, the latest in Srixon’s long history of scoring tools for a wide range of golfers.

I-701
The I-701 is a forged cavity back iron that is traditional in the playing position, but designed with a generous sweet area and a pocket cavity structure which allows for a lower and deeper center of gravity. The result is an extremely stable clubhead through impact enabling low to mid handicap golfers to get the ball airborne easier for higher, straighter and longer irons shots.

“Srixon’s continued innovation and use of our proprietary Digital Impact Technology has led us to a new generation of playability combined with tradition in the I-701 irons,” said Richard Stamper, Srixon’s President. “Understanding that optimal launch conditions are vital to more than just the driver, we’ve designed an iron with a center of gravity positioning that is ideal.

Our Digital Impact Technology allowed us to determine the optimal weighting and low and deep CG placement in every iron which gets the ball airborne with precise distance control. By combining a pocket cavity back weighting structure with a two-piece clubhead design featuring a thinner larger face, golfers will be able to hit the ball higher, longer and straighter with the I-701 irons.  This design also produces a high COR area which is 50% larger than previous Srixon irons meaning they are incredibly forgiving on off-center hits.”

Nickent 3DX Tour

Nickent Golf's new drivers are making serious waves in the golf industry. The 4DX and 3DX Square drivers were launched in April and have already set new company records for number of drivers in play on the professional tours and number of drivers sold at retail. Plus, Nickent claimed their first ever driver victory on the PGA Tours. Nickent is launching two limited edition versions of these popular models in order to expand the tremendous success of the original designs.

YES Putters adds Valerie to their list of putters.

Meet Mr. Harold Swash. A long time devotee of the science and art of putting. Indeed, in Europe Harold is affectionately called the “Putting Doctor” and has been the coach to the majority of Europe's Ryder team.He’s also a self described “sawdust engineer” who has spent nearly as many hours hunched over his workbench by night as he has hunched over a putter by day. So, in a way, it came as no surprise when he developed the most significant advance in putter technology in 1995.

Knowing that every putter face made forces a ball to skip, skid and spin in its critical first few inches of travel, he also knew if he could design a club that avoided this, he’d have a winner. The result, of course, is his patented C-Groove technology that allows balls to achieve forward roll almost immediately, so they have a better line and are less likely to be deflected en route to the cup.

The Valerie is designed for those people that enjoy the mallet style putter with C-groove technology.
