New products now landed...

Interesting new stock in this week with the Cleveland Launcher irons and TaylorMade new 2020 ball range including the new TP5 pix.

The shop is about to go through a mini transformation as Under Armour will have half of the shop as we believe it’s fast becoming the best outerwear brand in the market.

Stop lashing at your driver...

I’d like to send my best wishes to Ian "top scientist" Strachan who hit the most dramatic drive I’ve ever seen. It was a 230 carry - lovely numbers on the FlightScope - 103mph clubhead speed etc. then he throws his driver up in the air and fell on the ground swearing like a drunk docker...torn groin no business trip to Europe or a golf holiday to Portugal that was planned this week.

So, kids, the moral of this story is - stop lashing at your driver. Speedy recovery Ian, I feel in some way responsible.

New promotion available to you

We launched this last week and the initial take up has been phenomenal!

It's not just about making sure you replace the grips on your clubs every year. Instead, we want you to have the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) too.

This will only be running for a few more weeks so come and see us in the pro shop if interested.

Tour news

Brooks puts his foot down

Despite not swinging a club over the weekend, world number two Brooks Koepka still made plenty of headlines when he called out Patrick Reed for cheating. During a fascinating live interview last week, he said: “I don't know what he was doing, building sandcastles in the sand, but you know where your club is.”

The incident relates to the Hero World Challenge when Reed was handed a two-stroke penalty for appearing to improve his lie in the bunker – an incident which Reed maintains was merely a mistake. Former TV analyst Peter Kostis waded in claiming he has seen Reed "improve his lie four times now’."

However, it seems to have motivated Reed who went on to silence his critics winning the WGC Mexico Championship by a single shot from Bryson DeChambeau. But with foul play in the headlines, we want to know whether you think there is a difference between breaking the rules and cheating?

Unbearable tension

Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging...

Tension whilst gripping

Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.

The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.

Limited time offer in-store now

We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at East Horton Golf Centre, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.

There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage.

Some of today's equipment costs more than it did a decade ago, which is why any purchase that you do make needs to be the right one in terms of performance and fit. So, to help you get more bang for your buck, here's a short video providing a little bit more information on why Cobra’s one-length Forged Tec irons should be a considered purchase.

Tech Explained | Cobra Forged Tec irons

‘practice one-swing, and practice the feeling of one iron’.

That is what Cobra’s revolutionary ONE-length irons are all about. By taking a seven-iron and repeating the length through the set, any weakness in swing consistency can be plugged.

Better still, they can be mixed and matched with regular length through the Forged Tec set.

They may not be for everyone but is certainly worth a try if you're looking for a more repeatable set-up through the bag. Call us on 02380 602111 if you're interested in trying these.
