Cleveland is probably best known for their wedges. When you’re looking for a wedge, it’s important to have good feel. Beginners often think it’s best to get as close to the green as possible when you have the opportunity. But when you watch a PGA tournament on TV, you’ll notice that those guys will often lay up to 100 yards or so, so that they’ll have a full swing into the green.

Lincicome is a staff player for Adams golf clubs.

What would you go through to get fitted for free custom Titleist golf clubs at Titleist headquarters? Six guys from Chicopee, Massachusetts got to do just that, but after what they went through they deserve it. They were onboard USAirways flight 1549 which went down in the Hudson recently.

They were actually scheduled to fly Spirit Air to Myrtle Beach South Carolina for a golf trip. That flight was canceled due to bad weather. Spirit Air offered to let them fly on USAirways to Charlotte, South Carolina.

You saw that Ping Rapture hybrid ping-rapture-hybrid-golf-club-third.html took 3rd place in the Rankmark.com test. The Bobby Jones hybrid golf clubs by Jesse Ortiz took 2nd place. Jesse Ortiz used a different philosophy in designing these hybrids than most companies have. Rather than patterning the hybrid after an iron to replace irons, he designed it more like a fairway wood.

Rankmark.com has tested the hybrids of several companies, and tried to, as scientifically as possible, determine which performs the best. The Ping Rapture hybrid golf club took 3rd place overall. It’s hard to test things like feel, appearance and sound scientifically, but what they do is have people try out the clubs and fill out a survey.
