Tour Edge Bazooka HT Max-D Driver

From Golf Magazine ClubTest (March, 2012) Category: Max Game-Improvement Drivers (See complete list) Price: $149 WE TESTED: 9°, 10.5° with Aldila NV 50 graphite shaft KEY TECHNOLOGIES: The aerodynamic, lightweight club has a sloped crown to reduce drag (improve airflow) and boost swing speed. The 9° loft has a square face angle while the 10.5° is 1° closed. Comes standard with 50-gram shaft at 46 inches. OUR TESTERS SAY: Steady yet unspectacular performer provides respectable distance. PROS DISTANCE: Several testers get distance comparable to their own driver; a few guys get up to 10 more yards; off-center hits get out there a good ways. ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Steadyeddie driver forgives and forgets most mediocre swings and mis-hits; by and large, slices are held in check. FEEL: Subtle but perceptible feel on well-struck shots and mis-hits; head is fairly stable through impact. PLAYABILITY: Lower ball flight than most; straight, boring trajectory works well in firm conditions. LOOK: Large, deep face inspires confidence; glossy black finish. CONS Several other models deliver more forgiveness; it’s difficult for some testers to decipher center hits from offcenter ones because of dullish impact sensation; nothing sets it apart visually.

Hogan showed the best can achieve greatness after absence

From The New York Times Magazine: If Tiger Woods wins the Masters in his return to professional golf, he will have matched a feat seen just once before. To return from such a long layoff and win a major championship would prove that Woods actually can turn his game on and off at will. Both Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer said they could not imagine being away from the tour for so long and winning a major. But one golf great has done so before. Ben Hogan won the 1951 Masters after nine months away from competitive golf. Hogan's feat...
