Hello, welcome to another Backspin post… Let’s get to it!
• Srixon recently released a patent that has some golf rumor enthusiasts wondering if this is Jim Furyk’s answer to long search for the perfect driver. For Jim’s sake, I hope they’re wrong… This looks very similar in shape to an older Never Compromise putter in fact…
• The USGA has been quite busy lately… you may not know, but each year they test over 2,500 golf clubs and over 1,000 golf balls. Lots of competition out there…
• Thinking of buying a golf-side property? Better think again… your proximity to a golf course could inflate the price of your home by over 70%, and most courses nowadays don’t even offer a free membership with a home purchase…
• Our good friend in Vancouver, Canada has recently launched their new Miura CB-501 Forged Cavity Back irons. These clubs remind me of some Hogan’s a few years back (sans forged, obviously), but they are definitely worth a look. The VP of operations Bill Holowaty says “We are confident the CB-501s will quickly become your new best friend…”, something we could all use out on the course. Check them out.
• I’m not too sure about this one, Clearview putters has come out with a “clear-view” putter – it’s completely see-through, with the exception of the aim lines on the top. The company claims it supposed to help your aim… and view of that bug your squishing.
