fat bastard square driverI’ve had the Fast Bastard Square Driver in the can for a while. I’ve needed to bust this one out and get it off my old list of products to cover.

Technology

Square technology has been around for a while and I haven’t been a fan. I like more traditional shaped clubs. The square technology improves the club’s MOI (moment of inertia) and helps prevent the club from twisting and turning on shots which aren’t centered on the face. In other words, off center hits go straighter and farther.

The head and face of the Fat Bastard Driver are made out of high grade Titanium.

Looks

Despite being square The Fat Bastard Square Driver is surprisingly pretty. It didn’t take me too long to get over the odd look of the square head when standing over the ball.

Malibu Gourmet Toffee

malibu toffeeThanks to my friends at Malibu Gourmet Toffee for sending in some samples for me to review.  Golf and toffee.  I see the connection.   The stuff just showed up in my mail box one day.  One day it is martini shaped golf tees, the next day it is toffee.   Unfortunately Malibu Toffee didn’t contact me in advance to find out that I don’t like nuts.

As much as I wanted to eat some of this beautiful looking hand made toffee, I had to give that tough assignment to my 11 year old daughter.  She gladly took on this tough gig and gobbled it all up.  I’m not really sure she even chewed it.  She may have just inhaled it.

I asked her to tell me what her opinion was of the toffee so I could post her comments and she gave a single word reply:  “Elegant.”

I have a few more pics of the toffee here.

A few posts back I said that the next tournament Tiger would likely play after the match play would be at Doral:

“My money is on Tiger returning for Doral at this point…”

Tiger has now announced that he will be playing at Doral next week.

I’m 2 for 2 in Tiger tournament predictions this year.


Bridgestone B330-RX Golf Ball Review

Is there such a thing as love at first sight with golf balls? OOOHH la la! Her measurements are 340-325-335.. No those aren’t the measurements a severely overweight coed golfer. Those are some of the drive lengths I achieved when I put the new Bridgestone B330RX into play for the first time.

bridgestone b330-rx

My local pro shop is sold out of B330-RX’s. They’re flying off the shelves. The word is out that this ball is freakin’ awesome.

Technology

The B330RX is a multi-layer (3) golf ball optimized for amateur players with a swing speed less than 105 MPH. That is me, less than 105. Freddy Couples on the other hand, is around 118 MPH. Tiger? 125. So the B330-RX would NOT be the right ball for them.
