Those of you who try to avoid full time golf addiction by trying not to watch PGA Tour coverage this early in the season may be unaware of the big news. Two of the first three tournaments of 2013 were won with TaylorMade’s new
RocketBladez Tour Irons. From where I sit, that is not just big, it’s monumental.
We’re accustomed to TaylorMade leading the driver count on tour, and the RocketBallz Fairway Wood phenomenon of 2012 proved that creative design can squeeze ever more yards from a club and still conform to USGA standards. But who would’ve thought TaylorMade would dominate the early 2013 PGA Tour season with an iron design offering forgiveness and distance? Aren’t those attributes created for the handicap golfer? Well, yes…and no, apparently. As you might surmise from these tour victories, the new
RocketBladez and
RocketBladez Tour Irons are the real deal.

Cleveland Golf just introduced the new 588 Altitude Irons. Constructed with a full hollow body design, these “hybrid irons” are for any golfer seeking distance, height and forgiveness. Each iron in the set is engineered to provide optimum, flight, forgiveness and feel, according to Cleveland.
The Altitudes have advanced internal weighting that promotes a low and deep center of gravity for both high launch and maximum distance. The company says the center of gravity is 13% lower and 121% deeper compared to a typical game-improvement iron resulting in iron shots that are easier to hit with proper trajectory. This is possible because of the hollow body construction that offers hybrid-like playability through each iron in the set.
Each club offers Face Forged® Technology that enhances ball speed and delivers feel. Cleveland says the Altitudes are designed for customization through a notch in the hosel that allows change in lie angle by three degrees up or down and loft by two degrees weaker or stronger. This is a significant acknowledgement by a company that higher handicap players can benefit from custom-fitting options, as well.
The 588 Altitude Irons are available in 3-SW for both men and women in graphite or steel shafts. Cleveland will begin shipping these new hybrid-irons November16, 2012.

Are you tired of hearing about the new groove rules? You shouldn’t be, and I’ll tell you why. With just a few months left in 2010, your chance to get
aggressively-grooved irons and
wedges is running out. Irons? Yes! Any club with a loft of over 25° is in danger of being changed, so
club manufacturers are making their final runs of the “good” clubs this year. You might think of the 2024 date that’s been floated around, but remember that club makers want to minimize inventory and streamline their processes, so if they can make a single type of iron set instead of different versions, then they pocket more cash. This means you need to get new irons NOW instead of waiting…until you have nothing to choose but “V” groove irons and wedges.
