We are excited to announce that we have also now received delivery of even more of our demo clubs and new ranges. We now have demo clubs in Titleist, Callaway and Mizuno available to try on the course or during a Flightscope fitting. This means we can provide full custom fittings on any of the latest ranges including Titleist, Callaway & Mizuno with the use of our Flightscope launch monitor.
For the XR 16 Driver, Callaway worked with the aerodynamics experts at Boeing to redefine what's possible with ball speed and aerodynamics. They engineered the most forgiving shape ever and Boeing made it fast with a re-engineered Speed Step Crown.
This new driver has a high speed head and lower drag in the crown to add ball speed. It's extremely forgiving from the larger shape for more MOI, a stretched out crown with a bigger footprint, and a Centre of Gravity that's lower and deeper. For more ball speed all across the face, Callaway added the next generation R*MOTO face that's lighter and up to 19% thinner.
Fitted with a premium Fujikura Speeder 565 shaft that delivers the performance required to get the best out of XR 16. The Callaway XR 16 Driver is built to deliver the ultimate in ball speed. Its where forgiveness meets speed!
The JPX EZ 2016 Driver is a large footprint, high launching, low spinning driver that is also fully adjustable.
Previous moveable weight drivers have generally been difficult to hit (due to weight used for additional tracks and weight ports). The JPX EZ changes everything with a simple 3 weight system and forgiveness levels normal of non-adjustable models. Using a ten gram weight in one of three weight ports the JPX EZ offers changes you can instantly notice without the 'in-between' settings.
The new rounded crown eliminates the stiffer area higher in the clubface, allowing the driver to flex more freely for greater balls speeds from off centre hits. In combination with Mizuno's Quick Switch shaft release system, the JPX EZ also offers lofts from 8.5 to 12.5 within one head for the ultimate in adjustability and more forgiveness on off-centre hits.
A power 460cc driver, the JPX EZ is fitted with a top performance Fujikura Orochi graphite shaft that offers mid weighting with a medium to high ball flight desired by most golfers.
If you would like to try any of these ranges out then please feel free to contact the pro shop to book in a trial of a demo club. However we would most definitely recommend booking a fitting on our Flightscope launch monitor to ultimately determine which clubs are best for your game.
