Titleist AVX golf balls deliver longer distance, improved short game spin and very soft feel. Available in white and high optic yellow, the AVX offers an ideal choice for players who prioritize distance without sacrificing feel around the greens.
The new ball is built to improve driver distance and feel with a larger low compression core and redesigned high flex casing. It also has a softer cast urethane cover that increases greenside spin and control.

Titleist SM9 Golf Wedges
Titleist SM9 Golf Wedges are the most versatile, accurate and forgiving wedges Bob Vokey has ever designed. They offer a wide variety of grinds and lofts to suit your personal style and game.

TaylorMade Hi Toe 3 Golf Wedge Review
The TaylorMade Hi Toe 3 wedge is a new addition to the brand’s wedge family. It combines two proven technologies into a single wedge and aims to increase spin, precision and feel whether you’re taking full swings on your approach or playing finesse shots around the green.

Milled Grind Sole
Designed to offer increased spin, precision and feel for a variety of shots around the green, TaylorMade's Milled Grind sole maximises consistency on every wedge they make. They use a soft 8620 carbon steel and then machine the sole of each club to ensure tolerances that are difficult for a human to replicate.
The resulting wedges are built for optimum launch and spin conditions, while a weight pad positioned in the upper
