Tommy Armour launches new Atomic line, featuring woods, hybrids, and irons

Published

on

Tommy Armour has launched its latest club lineup – Atomic, which includes woods, hybrids, and irons, and all of which feature a DAT 55 titanium cup face. The material is 25 percent stronger than standard titanium in an aim to produce higher ball speeds for longer distance.

Tommy Armour Atomic driver, hybrids, fairways

 

The new driver and hybrids from the company contain a 40 percent larger carbon crown, which allows for 10 grams of discretionary weight, which is repositioned to increase MOI and forgiveness.

According to Tommy Armour, the 360-degree aerodynamic design lowers turbulence by 20 percent at the crown, thus improving clubhead efficiency. The combination of a cup face design, with high strength DAT 55 beta titanium, has helped lead to a larger, thinner, and faster face than its predecessors.

The Atomic driver is available in both right-handed (9 and 10.5 degrees) and left-handed (10.5 degrees) options and costs $399.99. The Atomic fairway wood and hybrid also arrive in both left and right-handed options and cost $249.99 and $229.99 respectively.

Atomic, Atomic Max irons

The Atomic and Atomic Max irons from Tommy Armour feature a face which is 60 percent lighter than steel. 60 grams of tungsten of discretionary weight has been designed into the sole of the clubs in order to move the CG lower and more towards the toe of the irons in a bid to provide players with added forgiveness.

 

The titanium cup face is brazed to the body of the club in a design, which bids to produce faster ball speeds while saving weight to improve forgiveness.

The Atomic Max set arrives in a choice of both steel and graphite options and are available in both right and left-handed options too. The Atomic irons and Atomic Max irons cost $799.99.

The new additions from Tommy Armour are available to purchase now exclusively at DICK’S Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy stores nationwide.

    I just got the new driver. I’ve owned and played all the big name drivers. This is the best driver I’ve ever hit. If you want or need a new driver, this should definitely be one that you try out. Don’t let the lack of a big name hold you back.

      These wouldn’t be a big seller even at $149/driver.
      .
      3 more years and this brand will have disappeared.

      Right on that, could get down to $50 dollar trade in value faster then the Wilson Triton did.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
