Shop news

Perfect for cooler rounds

Yes, we've enjoyed a record-breaking Early May Bank Holiday weekend without a sweater in sight, but the reality is temperatures will soon get a little cooler over the coming days. To combat the chill whilst on the course, especially early mornings or late evenings, consider a ProQuip quilted windproof, which provide lightweight warmth whilst blocking out any wind.

Trust = Power

Let’s face it: we all want to hit the ball further. Being able to hit longer drives gives you less club into the green, making everything that little bit easier. There are many ways you can try and generate more power during your swing, and nearly all of them start from the ground up.

Trust your footwear
Despite his small frame, tour star Rickie Fowler is renowned for his power. As you can see in the three images above, he pushes off from his right foot through impact and relies on great grip and stability to ensure the power his body is creating doesn’t come at the cost of control.

Having a strong base is something we should all aspire for. The FootJoy Tour-S can help you do this thanks to its PowerStrap that enhances support, plus its nine cleats per foot that offer maximum stability across a range of terrains.

Replace your long irons

We want to make this game as easy and as enjoyable as possible for you, so if we had one piece of advice for you it would be to replace your long irons. The further up your irons you go the harder they become to hit, which is why golf brands have a range of fantastic alternative options for you to try…

Powerful and forgiving
This Srixon Z H65 hybrid has a confidence-inspiring larger head that we think is ideal for mid and higher handicaps. It offers all the forgiveness you need to rescue any poor strikes and to help you escape the worst of lies, alongside lots of distance and versatility, meaning it’s a great option to chip with from bare or muddy lies.

Shot shaping
If you’ve always found irons easier to hit than woods, this Srixon Z U65 iron has all the benefits of a workable driving iron, but with buckets of modern distance and forgiveness. You can use it to hit accurate shots off the tee, plus it should be easier to launch than your long irons off the deck when hitting into long par-4s.

Just landed | XR Speed

Callaway has dominated the driver market over the past 12 months with Rogue following Epic as outstanding offerings for those golfers seeking a premium driver.

But we know that some of you want something a little cheaper that still offers fantastic performance, and this is where the XR Speed comes in. There are only two things that you need to know about this driver: exceptional ball speed and improved forgiveness.
