They've done it again When a product has been the centre of a range for over a decade you know it must be pretty special, right? We certainly think so and it can be said of the Srixon AD333 golf ball, which is now into its ninth generation. How does it differ? Well, it feels amazingly soft, provides even more distance and imparts a lot of spin when around the green. It's definitely worth a go, even if we do say so ourselves. |
| |
Before we pit these two beauties against one another, have a think about how good your bad shots are? It's a bit of an oxymoron, but are they disastrous and leading to big scores or are they less penal and still go somewhere around the green? |
Red corner - Titleist T300 irons If your bad shots really are bad then it's definitely worth looking at a game-improvement iron, like the T300 from Titleist. Not only does it come with added tungsten weighting in the toe for maximum forgiveness that you'll appreciate, but Max Impact technology provides incredible distance and feel across the entire face.
|
Blue corner - Titleist T100 irons Those of you who tend to strike the ball well the majority of the time should consider the T100 model. It's a player's iron with a cleaner look next to the ball, and allows the better player to shape and flight the ball in whichever way they want. Both of these irons are available to try in your local pro shop today!
