Though not a full fledged product review, I’d like to mention quickly about my test round today with the Innovex V-Motion Tour golf ball. This is a tour level quality ball which retails for under $24/dozen. Yes, tour level quality for under $24.

I shot a satisfying 75 at the tough local course at the airport here in Salt Lake, Wingpointe Golf Course. The V-Motion was under total control, felt nice and soft even in the bitter morning cold, spun perfectly and flew straight at the pin. I carded 4 birdies in the round and happily managed to play with one V-Motion the whole time without losing it.

At the end of 18 holes, I was very impressed with the durability of the ball. Hardly any noticeable wear.

So for now, my first impressions of the Innovex V-Motion Tour is that it is a great ball, certainly the best ball on the planet for under $24/dozen. Full review posted soon.

PING Scottsdale Senita Putter Review

Tags: Ping Golf

Perhaps the greatest putter I ever had was my trusty old PING Zing. I was deadly with that thing. Unfortunately it was stolen right out of my bag a few years ago. I think some of my regular golf opponents put out a contract on it. So I’ve always had a soft place in my bag for PING putters…

PING Scottsdale Senita Putter

The Scottsdale Senita putter is what I’d call a descendent of the PING Craz-e putter. It is a mallet with some very funky designs behind the blade.

Those funky designs don’t just give the putter a high tech look. They serve crucial purposes like providing proper weighting, moment of inertia and giving the player visual alignment help. (more…)

Bugle Long Life Tee

Bugle Tee - click for more

I’m in a tee’d off mood this week, with my 2nd golf tee review in a row! Today I’m talking about the Bugle Long Life Tee.

Overview

Bugle Tee is a two piece tee which has a hard plastic tip on the ground end, and a soft, flexible rubber top. The shape of the flexible rubber is obviously where the Bugle Tee gets its name.

Advantages

The first advantage, and perhaps most valuable to me, is the ability to tee the ball at a consistent height. This is achieved via a circular stopper at the ground level of the tee.

A 2nd advantage is how solidly the ball stays on the tee. This one would be great for extremely windy conditions when it is hard to keep it on the tee. The width of the tee’s top is excellent for those who may have a bit of a shake in their hand and find it hard to get a ball on the tee.

Drive Tee

Drive Tee - click to zoom

The Drive Tee is a golf tee engineered by Mike Cutino. His idea was to create a tee which allows the player to achieve a more consistent ball height. If the player can more consistently tee the ball at the same height, he or she can groove the bottom of the swing and make more solid and consistent contact.

Sizes

Drive Tees come in a retail set which includes seven total tees of three varying heights. There are three separate heights to accommodate the different clubs one might tee off with, drivers, hybrids/fairways and irons. The shortest tee height puts the ball about 5/16ths of an inch above the ground. The middle tee height puts the ball about 1.25 inches off the ground and the longest 1.75 inches.

On The Course

Unless I’m trying to help ride a tail wind with my driver by hitting it really high, I don’t use the longest tee. I find that the mid length is great for me. So typically I have the two shorter tees in my pocket. I use the short one for everything but driver. And as advertised, it is nice to consistently tee them up the same height.
