Adidas unveils ‘The Science Behind the Technologies’ video series

Published

on

Adidas Golf has released the first of a series of six videos that highlight the science behind their technologies in footwear and apparel.

John Brenkus, the creator of “Sport Science,” brings the science behind each innovation to life as host of the series. In the first installment, Jason Day was subjected to a series of tests to simulate the cold weather that both professional and amateur players experience on the course throughout the year.

Day was tested both with and without Adidas’ new ClimaWarm + Jacket for consistency and accuracy, and his performance was closely measured with highly advanced data capturing tools.

In the second installment, the cushioning properties of the adidas Pure 360 shoe is put to the test by Dustin Johnson.

    I’m curious how shooting spurts of cold air at Jason Day proves anything. He gets hit with cold air, then walks over to, what I assume is, the warm or room temperature area. Then, hits 5-10 drivers. Wouldn’t a better test be for him to hit the balls in a room that is actually cold? I’m not a scientist, but this seems to be a very weak test at best. However, that jacket looks nice, and I’ll probably buy it.

    Let me get this straight, if it’s cold outside, I should wear a jacket? No b*llsh*t?

      It’s a YouTube based closed captioning system that translates sounds into text.

Why Wesley Bryan is playing two 4-irons this week

Published

on

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article. 

…Flash forward to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2024 at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, and Bryan is still playing with a mixed Takomo set, except he’s added a new 101 U 4-iron, plus a Titleist T200 4-iron, and he’s dropping his 5-iron.

That bears repeating: Bryan is switching to an iron setup that consists of two 4-irons and no 5-iron.

On paper, that looks wrong, but when you look at yardage gapping instead of the number on the sole of the iron, things start to make more sense.

As Bryan explained to GolfWRX.com on Tuesday in Texas, his Takomo 301 CB 6-iron goes about 195-200 yards. Then, his new hollow-bodied Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which he recently started testing “a couple weeks ago” and bent about 2 degrees weak, goes about 220 yards, and the Titleist T200 4-iron goes about 235 yards.

Speaking on his new Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which sells for $119, Bryan had this to say:

“It’s super forgiving and launches high, and it has a bit longer of a profile to where it looks really good,” said Bryan. “If people are willing to play something that doesn’t have an expensive price tag on their club…[I started testing it] in the last couple weeks and it’s in the bag.

“I just made it like 2 degrees weaker. Basically that gap from 205 to 225 I was in a little bit of a dead space, so I’m going to try and fill that gap better.”

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject 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.

  • Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
  • RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
  • YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
  • golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”
