Tiger Woods spotted “testing” Bryson DeChambeau’s single-length irons (and a new driver shaft)

Published

on

None other than Tiger Woods was seen “testing” one of Bryson DeChambeau’s Cobra King One-Length Irons on the range Tuesday ahead of the Genesis Open at Riviera.

So, it’s pretty much settled, then, TW is a single-length man now. You heard it here first. Stop the golf equipment news presses.

Yeah, right. Woods is a stickler for his specs, famously playing the same iron lofts since turning pro, so we don’t see him shaking that up with single-length irons in this lifetime.

Here are the photos, though, you can see Woods is smiling as he demos the iron, and the Golf Scientist seems to be having fun as well.

Much like taking a closer look at one of Jason Day’s woods at the Farmers Insurance Open, Woods, equipment enthusiast that he is, seems to like peeking in his fellow pros’ bags.

Of more interest, after a lackluster driving performance at Torrey Pines, Woods looks to be testing a Matrix Ozik TP6HDe shaft. He gamed a Matrix Ozik TP7HDe in 2015. The stock extra-stiff TP6HDe is 10 grams lighter than its TP7HDe (68 vs. 78 grams) counterpart and has a higher launch profile.

While we only spotted him with the TP6, Golfweek is reporting Woods has gone back to the TP7HDe, quoting the golfer as saying

“It’s a shaft that I knew from years past, so when I picked it up again … I know how it feels and now how it performs. I drove it great at Wyndham that year, and so that’s about it.”

Either way, Woods is ditching the Mitsubishi Tensei White CK Pro White 70 TX shaft he played in his TaylorMade M3 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

    Yous guys are friggin nuts. If Tiger used one-length he would win 4 more majors. Those recoil shafts kick like a mule!

    The “testing” in quotations means it wasn’t a real test. You people need to learn sarcasm.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

on

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

 

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.
