Today from the Forums, we take a look at WRXer johnroyal519 who has shared his results from testing 2020 model drivers. For johnroyal519, the Sim Max and TS3 suited him best, who told WRXers:

“TS2 – felt great. A little spinny. Heel Misses were spinning like crazy and getting punished quite a bit.

Maverick Sub Zero – Very very hard to center for me. Misses got killed. I didn’t hit the middle. Struggled with it.

Cobra SZ – Decent. Doesn’t sit square. Felt Tinny. Next.

Ping G410 LST – Good results – ball went high and far. Didn’t care for the look for feel.

Sim – Awesome Driver. Needed a bit more spin though.

Sim Max – Again Awesome driver. Long and felt great.

TS3 – The longest of the day. Look at address is great. Felt unreal. Misses were better than TS2. Dialed into Evenflow White 6.0 OR Tensi Orange Pro.

Debating between Sim Max or Ts3… Decisions decisions…”

Our members have been discussing the 2020 lineups, mentioning what they have found from each new driver, with plenty of different opinions offered up.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

nikeblades00: “Sim max gives me a ton of confidence at address. Really like the color scheme better than M6. Did you hit the Exotics and Mizuno driver? Both good as well.”
Mahamilto: “TS3 is fantastic when dialed in… just fantastic.”
AmazinBlue: “I hit the SIM Max today extensively and didn’t care for it. The sound was weird. It just didn’t work for me. I also hit the Cobra SZ and the Xtreme. The Xtreme was okay, nothing special. I really liked the SZ. Hitting 10.5 and the weight forward, I loved the ball flight, sound and feel. I am planning on getting a fitting for the SZ in white soon.”
moorebaseball: “TS3 is phenomenal! Look and feel is the BEST, and the performance is AMAZING! Paired with the right shaft fitted for you, it will be a weapon! I have hit all the new offerings, and they are all around the same performance give or take a yard or two. That means it comes down to look and feel, and for me, that is where the TS3 shines.”

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

Published

Brian Knudson

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.
