In our forums, our members have been discussing drivers. WRXer ‘2ndCut16’ is on the hunt for a new driver and asks members for their views on the TS3, SIM and Mavrik drivers. Our members share their preference and why in our forum.

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.

Titleistjunkie1127: “SIM all the way. I’ve always been a Titleist guy, but the SIM is a great looking driver and feels even better then it looks.”
Drivingrangehero: “It’s a toss-up for me between the Maverik and the TS3. At the same setting of 9 degrees, the Maverik had less spin by 300 RPM, but the Titleist launched slightly higher for me. I hit the Titleist with the Tensei blue and the Callaway with the Rogue 130msi. That may account for the higher launch and spin with the Titleist, so it really depends what would work for you. Had I dropped the loft to 8° On the Titleist, then I would have been getting optimum numbers for me. I liked both shafts, so it’s a toss-up. Either way, you end up with a great driver. The Sim is hard to turn over (draw) it’s the most fade based driver I’ve ever hit. I play a slight draw and do not attempt to fade the ball that often. With the SIM, I could only hit fades. They were easy to hit, but a fade just doesn’t fit my eye, and my set up feels weird, so I had dispersion problems with it. My experience anyways!”
slord: “It was SIM for me. TS2 was maybe the closest second and felt really nice, but didn’t perform quite as well. Mavrik I did not like, both regular and sub-zero. I only could stand to hit maybe 5 shots combined before I took them off the list. SIM has just been so dang good.”
hammergolf: “Sim for me has been GREAT! My miss is high toe with a slightly closed face. Twist face for me has definitely helped. It’s made my bad shot with other clubs much more playable. As a bonus, I hit it a little further too.”
blitzgolf: “TS3 best Titleist driver I’ve had in the last 5-6 years and I get the new one every time. Would also take the accuracy fitting you had and prefer playing out of the fairways.”

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.
