Callaway LR550 Rangefinder by Nikon

crosbyru — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:44:30 +0000

There's nothing quite as frustrating as hitting your club perfectly only to see the ball fall 30 yards short of the green. Enter the Callaway LR550 laser rangefinder, which quickly and accurately measures the yardstick from up to 550 yards away. The LR550, which comes in a striking yellow case, offers multiple range-finding modes for your convenience. The first target mode, for example, displays the range to the nearest target--useful when measuring the distance to a pin on the green with woods in the background. The rangefinder also boasts a continuous mode that ranges multiple targets in succession for up to eight seconds, so you can determine whether you have the right club to clear the sand trap or water hazard. Plus, targeting an object couldn't be easier thanks to the built-in reticle and LCD display, which combine to tell you when ranging is in progress. The LR550 is also noteworthy from an optical perspective. The rangefinder's 6x monocular, for example, offers such features as multicoated optics, long eye relief (with a folding rubber eyecup for eyeglass wearers), and a waterproof, nitrogen-sealed housing. The LR550--which runs on a CR2 3-volt lithium battery (included)--comes with a carabiner for easy access and a matching yellow neoprene sport sleeve with a removable travel cover.

Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver

crosbyru — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:15:32 +0000

Taking top honors in Golf Digest's 2010 Hot List, this Tour version of the Callaway Diablo Edge Driver offers superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG, and better aerodynamics--all adding up to the longest, most accurate all-titanium driver Callaway has made yet. It features a unique construction that fuses four titanium elements together for optimal weight efficiency and longer ball flight, and improved aerodynamics for reduced drag in the down swing. It's complemented by an Aldila Habanero high-performance graphite shaft, which provides incredible feel and performance. Callaway's standard version of the Diablo Edge Driver. Standard vs. Tour Models Diablo Edge Drivers feature two unique shapes, but all the same technology. Both drivers offer a 4-piece fused titanium design, a chemically milled hyperbolic face cup, and an aerodynamic body shape. The standard model features a core Callaway technology (S2H2), which removes weight from the hosel and repositions it in the perimeter of the golf club for more stability. The Tour model has a full-length hosel, less face progression and an optimized center of gravity that provides the look, feel and performance highly skilled golfers demand. Callaway Core Technology: S2H2 Callaway's patented Short, Straight, Hollow, Hosel (S2H2) shortened the length of the hosel, allowing weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. This bore-through design (Modified Tru-Bore Technology) allows the shaft tip to extend through the hosel and clubhead to the sole, improving feel and control by moving the tip of the shaft closer to the center of the clubface. 4-piece Fused Titanium Design The use of Fused Titanium in a 4-piece modular design produces the most weight efficient all titanium driver Callaway's ever created. Each part is precision-formed and accurately fused together, allowing weight to be positioned optimally, delivering distance-enhancing, penetrating ball flight. Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face Cup An acid chemical reduction process selectively removes unwanted material from the face cup for precision thickness control, resulting in our most consistently high ball speeds ever. And the strategic hyperbolic shaping of the face thickness dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area--resulting in less disparity between the balls you hit in the center of the clubface and the balls you don't. The sweet spot on a Callaway club with Hyperbolic Face Technology on the left, and a traditionally faced club on the right. Compared to standard clubs, ball speed on off-center impacts from this club with Hyperbolic Face Technology will be noticeably greater. This contributes significantly to total distance on off-center hits. Aerodynamic Body Design Callaway reduced drag in the downswing for higher impact speeds by using an aerodynamic body design that refines and optimizes all edge transitions. This reduces drag up to 8 percent versus other 460cc driver heads. About Callaway Golf Just like you, Callaway Golf is always looking to raise its game.

3 in 1 Golf Practice Set Mat Driving Net Chipping Net and Bag

crosbyru — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 08:35:33 +0000

Practice your driving, chipping, and approach shots without heading to the driving range with this three-in-one golf practice set. Equipped with a driving net, chipping net, driving mat, and nylon carrying bag, the set includes everything you need to hone your golf game in your backyard. The set starts with the easy-to-set-up driving net, which includes two expandable fiberglass poles that extend to 11 by 7 by 5.5 feet (W x H x D). Simply place the 1-by-2-foot driving mat in front of the driving net and swing away. The mat's high-quality nylon artificial grass surface and heavy-duty rubber base feel authentic, so you can line up your shots with confidence. (The mat includes both a fairway-like surface and a tee.) The driving net's large opening, meanwhile, will catch both straight drives and mis-hits, so you needn't worry about breaking your neighbor's window. The kit also comes with a weather-resistant 23-by-26-inch chipping net that takes up far less space than the driving net. With the chipping net, you can practice your pitches and chips in a relatively small space, including indoors. And should you want to practice at the park or while traveling, the kit breaks down and stores in a weather-resistant nylon carrying bag. Custom tailored to accommodate the complete practice set, the bag is ideal for transport and storage. You can also use the driving net to practice select golf, soccer, and baseball skills.

If you're a taller guy and looking for a great set that will actually fit you, then look no further. Men's Right Handed Complete HT-7 Golf Set. This 15 Piece Set has everything you need to hit the course. Set features all Oversized Clubs, including 460cc Square Driver, 3 Wood, and 4 & 5 Hybrids. (The technologically advanced square shaped heads offer great control and distance... These clubs all have Firm Flex Graphite shafts for added distance!) Oversized Irons 6,7,8,9,PW, and Alignment Putter (all with True Temper Firm Flex Steel shafts for added accuracy and touch). This is one amazing playing and looking set. As stated before, all clubs in this set are 1" longer than standard men's length, and perfect for a taller golfer.... buying a set off the rack that is standard length makes the game even more difficult when you are a taller man, having to hunch over each shot, and developing bad swing habits along the way. You won't have to worry about that with this set.
