Trending @ 2nd Swing Golf: The Mizuno irons you (probably) need and a record-breaking driver
GolfWRX is proud to partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you this bi-monthly series “Trending @ Swing Golf.” 2nd Swing has more than 100,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online.
We’ll continue to bring you a roundup of some exciting finds from the golf equipment retailer — and these aren’t your standard bestsellers!
Let’s dig in to this edition of Trending @ 2nd Swing Golf.
Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal HL Irons
2nd Swing says: The Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal HL irons offer all of the superb Mizuno iron technology designed to deliver ball speed and launch but in a higher-lofted package. The result is much better launch conditions for the large contingent of golfers that may hit their irons too low.
Ping Hoofer Craz-E-Lite Stand Bag
2nd Swing says: The Ping Hoofer Craz-E-Lite is both lightweight and highly functional, making it a top option for walking golfers. Weighing just 3.25 pounds, the Craz-E-Lite stand bag has a total of 19 liters in pocket storage and also includes many of the essentials, such as a seam-sealed valuables pocket, strong carbon-fiber legs, and a zip-off ball pocket panel.
Titleist TS1 Driver
2nd Swing says: While it’s a few years old at this point, the Titleist TS1 driver has proven to be a favorite for golfers at 2nd Swing, especially golfers looking for extra speed and launch capabilities. Built with lightweight materials and a lighter shaft, the TS1 will help golfers who have maybe lost some swing speed retain that distance off the tee.
Ping Glide 4.0 Wedges
2nd Swing says: Wedges might be the most forgotten category of clubs when it comes to Ping, but that doesn’t mean the performance isn’t there. The Glide 4.0 wedges provide everything a golfer’s short game demands. A new multi-material construction pairs 8620 carbon steel with a soft elastomer insert to ensure a superb feel, while milled grooves and new Emery face blast combine to add more texture to the hitting surface.
TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver
2nd Swing says: A seemingly unbreakable record was broken this past week on the PGA Tour thanks to a TaylorMade Stealth 2 driver. Adam Long hit 69 consecutive fairways off the tee, including a stunning 56-for-56 performance at the World Wide Technology Championship. Sure, Long didn’t hit driver on every one of these tee shots — but his Stealth 2 deserves a lot of the credit.

Equipment
Spotted: All-Fit Universal adapter in Ben Willman’s driver
Almost every driver on the PGA Tour has an adjustable hosel, and every manufacturer has its own design for how it works. This makes swapping shafts and heads impossible as one company’s adapter won’t fit in another’s driver head. There are a few universal hosel systems out there that fitters use to allow any shaft on their wall to be used in any driver head they carry.
One of the emerging universal systems out there is All-Fit, and not only are their adapters universal, but they also allow you to adjust the loft of your driver. Ben Willman seems to be one of the first to use All-Fit in a PGA Tour event as he has it in his Ping G430 LST driver.
All-Fit consists of three easy-to-use parts to install and use. First is the shaft adapter that is installed like any other OEM tip and offers three degrees of loft adjustment (1.5 degrees up or down) and flat or upright settings.
The second part is a new screw for your driver that works with the All-Fit tip and replaces the hosel screw that it came with. If you are using a TaylorMade head then you can skip this step as All-Fit uses the same size and thread.
Finally, there is a small sleeve that slides onto the All-Fit shaft tip and fits the hosel of the driver you are playing. Each sleeve is designed to not only fit the internal hosel geometry but they are also different heights in order to keep the overall driver length that same from head to head.
It is pretty interesting to see Ben using this system in his gamer driver out on tour. Willman has his Ping G430 LST 9-degree head set to -1.5 degrees on the All-Fit sleeve with a Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Pro Blue 60 TX shaft installed. The build is finished off with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip.
