-Better players gain 17 yards, see what you’ll gain
-Speed Pocket in the sole boosts ball speed dramatically for more distance
-Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower CG to promote higher launch for more distance
-Low / forward CG for high launch and low spin
-Lightweight shaft and grip promotes faster swing speed for more distance
-White crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top
The technology in our new RocketBallz fairway woods boosts clubface COR to a place we haven’t come close to before, promoting an immense increase in distance. It’s an absolute breakthrough. – Dr. Benoit Vincent TMag Chief Technical Officer
For the Tour FWY Woods-
-Speed Pocket in the sole boosts ball speed dramatically for more distance
-Thick-Thin Crown design creates lower CG to promote higher launch for more distance
-Exceptionally large, deep face and high-MOI head for easy launch
-Slightly heavier shaft for accuracy and control
-White crown and black face makes alignment easy and eliminates glare on top
-Engineered compact head for a penetrating trajectory and neutral flight bias with heavier/stiffer shaft for more stability
Tour pros and skilled players often reach for their 3-wood on the tee for added control. Those guys will be all over RocketBallz Tour fairways for the extra distance they promote. – Keith Sbarbaro TMag VP Tour Operations

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

Taylor made did not purchase Adams, the parent company Adiddas did they all fall under the Acushnet corporation now.

The Adams 3-wood blows this Rocketbalz away. I hit the Adams 245 yards uphill to a par 5 and got on the green in two…never had done anything like that previous…
Easiest 3-wood I’ve ever hit, it’s deadly long and accurate. TaylorMade is a marketing machine while Adams just keeps making better stuff.

Just proves again that Adams are on the cutting edge.TM have copied the VST concept without the slot on top. Try both, you’ll be amazed how much better the Adams is

Other considerations are that a tank heeatr has the advantage of a place for sediment and residue to lay, while a tankless will let anything get into your fixtures and potentially clog them.Also, if you heat your water with electric, you won’t want to get a tankless heeatr, they are inefficient and inconsistent with their hot water supply. In fact, the plumbing supply house I use refuses to sell electric tankless heeatrs.
