Nike Golf Releases New Lunar Control

Published

Nike Lunar Control

If you were looking through our photos from the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital Classic, then you’ve seen photos of Nike’s snazzy new golf shoe, the revamped “Lunar Control.”

The Lunar Control, available Jan. 1, 2013, features a full-length Lunarlon cushioning system, providing lightweight comfort, optimal ground-feel, and all-day support throughout the entire shoe, according to a Nike Golf press release.

The Lunarlon cushioning system is a proprietary technology from Nike that offers comfort and stability where athletes need it most. The Lunarlon Foam midsole is lightweight, durable and highly responsive, resulting in a unique combination of cushioning and support.

Another differentiating detail from the original Lunar Control is increased Nike Flywire technology, wrapping from the midfoot to heel to provide targeted support and lightweight structure.

A Nike Power Platform stabilizes the foot to offer better balance, smoother weight transfer and more power through impact. Working in conjunction with the Power Platform is the patent pending Power Transfer Zone technology which allows for constant contact and a smooth transfer of power at impact.

The Lunar Control was also made lighter — the total weight for the pair has been reduced from 14.6 ounces to 13.4 ounces (0.6 ounces per shoe).

Here are the key features, pricing and color options:

  • Waterproof premium leather upper
  • Flywire midfoot saddle
  • Full length Lunarlon cushioning
  • Nike Power Platform
  • 2-year Waterproof Warranty

MSRP: $200.00

MAP: $159.99

Sizes: 7-12, 13, 14, 15 (MED); 7.5-12, 13, 14 (WIDE)

Colors:  Black/Reflect Silver-Metallic Pewter-Volt, Black/Reflect Silver-Volt-Black, White/Reflect Silver-PR Platinum-PR P, White/Reflect Silver-Hyper Red-Anthr, White/Reflect Silver-Volt-Volt, White/Reflect Silver-Pht Bl-Anthrc

From the GolfWRX Classifieds: Tour Issue Ping G440 LST

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @Slinger24 is selling a tour-issued Ping G440 LST driver head. The item, verified by the club maker, has nine degrees of loft.

From the listing:

First up is a tour issue PING G440 LST 9 degree head. Head-cover included. Has been verified by PING with the serial number and you can see the spec sheet from PING as well. This thing is an absolute spin killer. I just can’t hit it high enough. Asking $380 shipped in the lower 48 UPS for the head.

To check out the full listing in our BST forum, head through the link. If you are curious about the rules to participate in the BST Forum, you can learn more here: GolfWRX BST Rules.

What’s your favorite golf saying? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, one user (and a new golfer to boot) has asked a surprisingly provocative question: namely, ‘what’s your favorite golf saying.’ The question inspired answers both expected and unpredictable.

@hankj asked:

I’m new to golf this summer, and one unexpected delight has been all the funny/pithy/telling/wise old saws (aka sayings) one hears on the course and around the clubhouse.

My current favorite:

It’s a long walk from the driving range to the first tee.

Ain’t that the truth!

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own favorite aphorisms. 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.

  • JimmyC59: “Regarding my own shots: ‘That’s a good miss’ and ‘Well, it’s not horrible.’
    For golfers who get angry on the course. ‘You’re not good enough to get so mad!’”
  • Dabetic: “‘Scorecard doesn’t care’ re bad/ugly shots working out…doesn’t matter how you get it done.”
  • Cellis: “Was playing a pretty tight course struggling with driver and was ready to shut it down for the day. Older gentleman I got paired with said, ‘Young man, just let the big dog eat, what is the worst that can happen, hit another ball?’ Helped me swing a lot more freely on the tee and become more successful not only that day but days on.”
  • sheepdawg: “They call it golf because s**t and f**k were already taken.”

More about the Cobra OPTM Max-K driver:

The Cobra OPTM Max-K Driver is a highly forgiving golf driver designed for players who want maximum stability, accuracy, and consistency off the tee. Featuring Cobra’s highest moment of inertia (MOI) ever, the Max-K uses an oversized 460cc head, a low-and-back center of gravity, and an 11-gram rear weight to reduce twisting on off-center strikes and help keep shots straighter.

Cobra also incorporates its H.O.T. Face technology to maintain ball speed across a larger area of the clubface, while the FutureFit33 adjustable hosel provides 33 loft and lie settings for personalized ball-flight tuning.

The driver is aimed primarily at mid- to high-handicap golfers and players seeking greater forgiveness, high launch, and tighter shot dispersion rather than maximum workability.
