Titlesit 718 range

This week I am reviewing the new 718 range of irons from Titleist:

718 MB - This is a classic looking club with thin top edge and narrow sole and looks beautiful. It is not too small though and is surprisingly playable and the feel of the forged head is amazing. This would be definitely be a great option in the mid to short irons but maybe a little scary in the longer irons like 4 or 5.

718 CB - Again this is a fantastic looking iron but offers more forgiveness than the MB with a small cavity design. It has great feel again from the forged head and could work well in combination with the MB.

718 AP2 - Wow, this club looks amazing for this year with a more concealed look for all the technology it offers. The Tungsten caps make this more forgiving than its predecessor, a little longer and the feel is also better. It is the most played forged Iron on the Tour and it is clear to see why.

718 AP1 - This is the most forgiving iron in the range and also the longest. The new version is definitely the best looking yet with again a lot of the technology being concealed in a great looking package.

718 AP3 - This iron is a new addition to the range and I would describe it as looking like a players club but affording a high level of forgiveness. It is not forged but has a similar profile to the AP2 but is about a club longer.

718 T-MB - This has been available in only long irons until now but the 718 version is available right through to pitching wedge. It features a hollow head design with lots of Tungsten weighting giving a very forgiving head whilst looking like a blade. I still see this as being a great long iron option but I'm sure some will opt for the full set.


Those are my opinions on the new irons having hit them all, but why not contact one of the team to arrange a time to try them for yourself.

Consider your options

Carrying your clubs for 18 holes will contribute to fatigue, making it more difficult for you to play your best all the way round. Luckily for you there are plenty of alternative options if you want to make a change, such as this innovative push trolley from Motocaddy.

Motocaddy P360

What will a trolley give you?

A recent R&A experiment saw tracking devices handed out to players. The course was under 4 miles on the card, but the shortest distance walked was a huge 5.7 miles, the average was 6.6 and the longest a whopping 7.8 miles. With these kind of stats it’s easy to see how a player carrying a full bag at around 12kg on their shoulders, back and knees will fatigue much quicker than a player who is protecting their body and saving energy by using a trolley.


Consider a push trolley

Compared to electric trolleys, push models are also lighter, cheaper and require no mid-week charging. A model like this Motocaddy P360 also boasts a fully-rotating front wheel for easy steering wherever your ball ends up and a functional storage console to house all your valuables and playing accessories.

1 minute to the next...

Golf really does ask different questions from one shot to the next, both of your swing and of your equipment. One minute you might require immense feel and touch to coax a long putt down to the hole, whereas the next you’re smashing a drive to unlock a tough par 5. But what is the one constant between the two?

Driving

From delivering soft feel to aid consistency on the greens, to catapulting fast off the face and using its dimples to pierce through the wind off the tee, your ball is the one thing you use on every shot and in all conditions.

This Wilson Staff Dx2 Soft ball has been designed to cover all bases so you don’t have to compromise. It has an aerodynamic dimple pattern and large rubber-rich core that generates less long game spin for extra distance, but it still offers soft feel thanks to its very low 29 compression for superb greenside control.

Each ball we sell offers something a little bit different, so do drop by if you’d like to find out more and test a few models.
