By John Duval

For a while I’ve been searching for a replacement for my current 3-wood, which is an Adams RPM LP Tour Prototype with 13 degrees of loft, fitted with the awesome Fujikura Rombax 7W06 shaft. It is over five years old, but I have yet to find a club that can beat it. I put it… »

Miura K Grind Wedge Review

By John Duval

Not too long ago, I had the great pleasure of taking Miura Golf’s 1957 Special Edition small blades for a demo. I came out very impressed, but not surprised.

Bridgestone is a relative newcomer to the world of golf for many people, but did you know that Bridgestone started making golf balls back in 1935? Yeah, I thought that was pretty amazing myself.

Club Review – Cleveland CG7 Black Pearl Irons

By John Duval

Since 1979 when Cleveland Golf was founded, they have made quality golf clubs. Like many golf equipment manufacturers they have had their ups and downs.
