MOT Your Game

The importance of re-gripping

Worn and shiny grips can cause you to play loose shots that wreck your round. We can help you fix this is in no time at all. Not only that but we can discuss your grip options.

Recent research revealed that 75% of you haven't been re-gripped in the last year. Furthermore, 65% of you haven't been measured for the correct grip thickness.

These are stats we want to address because we know how easily we can rectify the problem.

If you aren't considering changing your clubs this season then this is a good option for you to take so your clubs aren't too dated.

Come into the shop for a cheap and quick re-grip or to discuss your options.

New Drivers

New in the shop ready for the new season we have the new drivers from Callaway and Cobra. We have the Callaway XR range and the Cobra FlyZ range. We are offering a 10 yard challenge on both of these clubs. Book an appointment FREE of charge to test your current driver with either of these new ones. If you don't hit the new driver at least 10 yards further we will give you 3 FREE new golf balls of your own choice! So it's a win win situation! Either find out your current driver is better than the new leading models (unlikely) and win 3 balls or discover which of the new drivers is best for you!

Callaway XR

Speed is the name of the game with the Callaway XR, which includes several innovative technologies: 

- Speed Step Crown

- Speed from R-MOTO face technology

- This is how Callaway Golf increase ball speeds across the face  by reducing 10% of face weight to make it thinner. R-MOTO leads to more energy efficient energy transfer all over the face, allows Callaway to put the CG 17% lower where most golfers want it, and delivers higher MOI.

- Speed from Maximum Shaft Load

- The shaft is a key component to speed, that's why the Callaway XR comes with the new Project X LZ shaft. It produces maximum shaft load during the downswing loading zone for greater energy transfer to the ball. 

- OptiFit Adjustability

- Choose from 8 different loft and lie configurations to find the perfect launch for your ball flight. When you get the right launch conditions, you get more distance.

Cobra FlyZ

Cobra Golf Fly-Z Driver Features:

-  460cc head size & forged E9 Zone face weighting with Speed Channel face 
- Adjustable MyFly8 technology with SmartPad 
- Crown Zone Weighting 
- 1 year guarantee, Matrix VLCT SP 60g graphite shaft and Lamkin REL 360 grip 
- Crown Zone Weighting and Back CG Zone Weighting 

The Crown Zone Weighting removes weight from the crown and repositions it low and back in the head for a low, deep CG to deliver extreme forgiveness on off-centre hits and excellent distance across the face. This back CG zone weight helps you hit the ball higher, straighter and with more distance, even when you don't find the sweet spot. A game winning combination! 

MyFly8 with SmartPad Technology 

The Cobra Golf Fly-Z Driver allows you to dial in your ball flight for improved performance. Eight adjustable loft settings maximise distance and manage trajectory for any course condition and any swing. The SmartPad delivers a square face at address regardless of loft setting so you can find the middle of the fairway more often. 

Masters Build-Up

Can Rory McIlroy become only the 6th golfer to complete the career grand slam? Only five golfers have won all four of golf's modern Majors at any time during their careers, so can Rory join the great names such as Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. McIlroy won last year's Open and PGA Championship - to add to his PGA victory in 2012 and US Open title from 2011 - and will go to Augusta in April trying to become the sixth man to complete a career grand slam of all four current majors.

As usual we are doing our Masters sweepstake, we will be taking the top 50 players in the world and assigning each member to one of the tour pros. It will cost £10 per player and the prizes will be as follows:

1st Prize - Callaway XR Driver
