Grafalloy Blue

by Leave a Comment

For many years, Grafalloy set the standard for sweetly responsive feel in graphite shafts The feel characteristics of Grafalloy shafts, and in particular, the popular ProLite series, were satiny without being too soft. They were responsively mellow without being mushy or dull. Yet while they led the feel parade for many years, Grafalloy shafts always had a reputation for being primarily favored by “swingers” with smooth motions and less by “hitters” who unloaded forcibly. Over the past couple of years, stronger players began turning more and more to performance shafts from other companies. The Blue was designed to give Grafalloy a strong contender in the power player arena. It was especially created for those players who needed a shaft that could handle the excessive torque demands created by today’s jumbo-sized driver heads. The Blue became an immediate hit on pro tours and with the general public, alike.

Ball flight tends to be somewhat lower than normal with the Grafalloy Blue. In combination with many heads, this can mean added penetration and increased roll – not much, but enough to be noticed and appreciated. In direct comparison to the very low hitting Aldila One Low Launch, the Blue hit only middling low trajectories, however. A positive aspect of the Blue’s restrained nature is its reluctance to hit shots that accidentally balloon too high. This can allow some players to use a more lofted driver head, which in turn improves accuracy. (Added loft reduces the sidespin that accelerates hooking and slicing.)

The vast majority of players do not benefit from torque ratings lower than the normal 3.3 to 4.5-degree range in standard length drivers, but with jumbo driver heads on shafts over 45 ½” things change a bit. Lower torque ratings can become beneficial. At 2.8 degrees of torque, the Blue is Grafalloy’s lowest torque shaft ever. Grafalloy uses a Micro-Mesh Radial Tip in the Blue to create what they call Dynamic Torsional Stability. What results is a shaft that remains stable through impact at high velocity without the rigid or boardy feel of some low-torque shafts. Players with just moderately high swing speeds (100 to 110 mph) can sense some kick through impact with the Blue. For most higher than average swing speed players, feel remains good with the Blue – solid and responsive, but not sharp and tingly like some shafts such as those from Graphite Design and Fujikura. This is not what the average player would call an active, lively shaft, but it does possess a fluid and dynamic feel. At high swing speeds, the Blue begins to take on some of that particular sweetness that made Grafalloy famous.

Many low-torque, performance shafts feel great and work well when the user really lays into the ball, but when he backs off a bit, they can feel rigid and jarring. Such shafts can also tend to leave the ball off to the right unless they are unloaded with sufficient force. The Grafalloy Blue seems to possess the admirable quality of being able to accommodate varying tempos. One of our longest hitters at GCR swears by the Blue for this very reason. His best drives occur with an understated swing that is slow and smooth with a short swing arc. On the course, however, this strong nineteen-year-old often becomes too greedy and aggressive in search of the 325+ yard drives he’s capable of producing. Very long hooks are his nemesis. Other low-torque shafts have reigned in his hooks, but have made him pay a price with a tendency towards push-fades on his easy, sensible swings.

Another reason that the Grafalloy Blue has been so popular with many players is that it plays “between flexes”. The Regular flex version feels and plays like a Firm – almost a Stiff, to some. The Stiff version plays as nearly an XS. A sizeable percentage of players, as might be expected, prefer middling flexes.

The bright blue color of the Blue will be an issue with some players. Those who like it will find it refreshing. Those who dislike the bright blue will find it a distraction that they have trouble overcoming. All in all, however, the blue of the Blue compliments most driver and wood heads very nicely. With black and deep navy-colored heads, it makes for a sharp, assertive-looking combination.

Spalding Black Hawk Irons

by Leave a Comment

The Spalding Black Hawks from Golfsmith may best be thought of as “compromise irons”. They have graduated cavities that are quite shallow in the short irons and considerably deeper in the long irons. The size of the cavity inside the head is relatively substantial, especially in the long irons. However, much of the weight that would have normally been removed from the overall cavity is left in place to form the steel struts that create the distinctive Black Hawk filigree pattern. What results is a low weighting pattern that spreads across the bottom half of the face. This retains mass behind the impact position and makes the Black Hawk less like a game improvement iron and more akin to “cavity muscle backs” – like the Titleist DCI 990 or 962’s. The short irons play in an almost bladelike manner. Some noticeable forgiveness is present for off-center hits on the longer irons, but so is some added punch on centered hits.

The feel at impact with the Black Hawks is enjoyably pleasant on sweetspot hits. The Rifle steel shafts adds a touch of smoothness to impact sensations. The feel can be quite solid and substantial when struck properly. Marginal hits can feel a bit thin and dull, however. Much of this is due to the low swingweight of C9.5 that occurs when no weight is added before assembly to the Golfsmith hosel ports. Our testers found that those Black Hawk demos that had been given swingweights of D2 produced a more consistently solid feel. We would recommend that most players add alittle lead to the head before assembly. The adjustable weight port provided on Golfsmith component heads is a nice feature. It provides some good flexibility, but amateur clubmakers need to remember that most players require higher swingweights than those achieved when these heads are assembled without added weight.

The appearance of these distinctive Spaldings drew mixed responses from our testers. Some found them to be exceedingly stylish and handsome. Others found the looks to be somewhat overstated. As one college tester said, “They look old-fashioned – retro – the kind of iron that old guys would like”. (By ‘retro’ he meant the 1980’s, and by ‘old’ he meant over forty.) Whatever the opinion on the unusual aesthetics of the Black Hawks all testers agreed that they have a look of quality to them. They also agreed that coupled to the Rifle steel shafts and the Winn Tour Series Harmony grips they look like very expensive, premium irons.

The Black Hawks set up at address in a clean, rounded sort of way. They have a relatively compact look to them. The topline is moderately thin, but it rolls off from the face so that it has the appearance of being a bit thicker than it actually is. The progressive offsets to the hosel are considerable, but are not disconcertingly large. All of our testers found that the Black Hawks set up nicely, but were a touch vague when it came to alignment.

During hitting sessions, online consistency with the low swingweight set was good enough for all testers, but it was rarely noteworthy. With elevated swingweights of D2, consistency improved noticeably for most testers. Trajectories were arched and average to high depending upon the player. Distances were consistently good and ballooning was never a problem. However, those seeking less height and a slightly more penetrating trajectory might prefer to opt for a lower hitting steel shaft such as the True Temper Dynamic Gold.

Overall, the Black Hawks proved to be solid, steady performers that performed well from a variety of lies. They are good, all-around irons, but the low swingweights of C9.5 give minimal authority when hitting from heavy lies. The heads can glide through the grass nicely, but some distance can be lost due to lack of oomph.

It should be noted that the black and brown Winn Tour Series Harmony grips looked great with this head/shaft combination. However, some testers complained about an oily feel to the grips. They found it quite distracting.

Summary: The Spalding Black Hawks have distinctive looks that will appeal greatly to some players, but just moderately so to others. All agreed that they have the look of quality, however. In general, the Black Hawks proved to be easy to play. They are “player cavity backs” created with mid- to mid/high-handicapped players in mind. They provide some sincere forgiveness on longer irons, but play almost bladelike in the shorter irons. Feel is pleasantly substantial and solid, but not soft and mellow in the pronounced manner of many “game improvement” cavity backs. That will appeal to many players who seek a smaller, more aggressive cavity back iron. Most of our testers found the low-swingweight set we tested to be too light. All preferred the feel and consistency of the heavier D2 demos.

Snake Eyes Fire Forged Max C.O.R. 400

by Leave a Comment

As with so many Snake Eyes products, the Fire Forged Max C.O.R. 400 makes for a terrific looking component. Sincere attention to aesthetics is one of the primary reasons that the Snake Eyes line has been so very successful with clubmakers around the world. In this case, a deep, luminous burgundy-to-black paint job with gold accents has been used in an understated manner that allows the head to participate harmoniously in many color schemes. We have tried the Fire Forged with five, different shafts. Each has made for a beautiful combination. The Fire Forged, as with most Snake Eyes drivers, looks dead sharp in the bag, and at address, as well. This driver sets up nicely. Its 400cc head looks reassuringly large, but without any of that “Volkswagen on a stick” look that afflicts some 400+cc heads.

All of our testers have found that the feel at impact with the Fire Forged is very substantial. The shimmer and high-pitched tingliness that accompany many rival, titanium drivers is not present. Instead, the Fire Forged resonates with a solid, lower pitched smacking sensation, or more appropriately, a “sma-ocking” sensation since a touch of springiness in the face can be discerned. Balls struck across most of the face leave with a good sense of authority.

With the Snake Eyes ProLite shaft, the feel is sweetest, though it is a bit too soft for some. With the AccuFLEX Icon v2, the feel is mellow, but very firm – almost boardy. With the SK Fiber Tour Trac 80, the feel is solidly responsive and comparatively vibrant. Aside from these three shafts, we also briefly tried the Fire Forged in two versions of the Aldila One – the Stiff 65 Low Launch and the Regular 65 Mid Launch. They produced lower trajectories, but feel was not very memorable. It was decided that no real chemistry existed between these components and extended testing was discontinued.

The Fire Forged Max C.O.R. 400 likes to be hit with authority. It seems most responsive when a little oomph is laid into it. When hit hard with any of the three test shafts, the Fire Forged delivers up powerful drives that carry very well with relatively high, arched trajectories. Distances are consistently first-rate – not always exceptionally long, but generally quite good. The 9-degree test drivers flew moderately high for their loft in the ProLite and SK Fiber shafts – more like a 10-degree head for some hitters. Consequently, roll was less than with some rival drivers. With the AccuFLEX and Aldila One Mid Launch, the trajectories were a bit lower. With the Aldila One Low Launch, trajectories were noticeably lower, but were still not as low as some other heads on the same shaft.

In terms of workability, the Fire Forged can be a little reluctant to turn over. It can be hit straight or with a draw, but most testers found that its dispersion patterns favored the right side of the fairway. Fading was easier than drawing. Hooking was infrequent. These tendencies really manifested themselves when our hitters laid off the ball too much, or when they were just plain weary. When either happened, drives went higher and shorter to the right. With the SK Fiber senior flex version we used a short length of 44.5”. This gave a low swingweight of D1. The Fire Forged became quite easy to manage and drives hung out to the right less often. The right side tendencies were still visible,however

The stiffer flexed versions of the Fire Forged were shafted between 45.5 – 45.75 inches. This made the rightwards inclination more pronounced. At 202 grams, these Snake Eyes heads are a few grams heavier than are some rival heads specifically designed for overlength shafts. Swingweights ranged from D5.5 to D7.5 in all longer-shafted versions. As a result, the inclination for these heads to be a tad slow in coming around can be exaggerated with longer shafts. For this reason, most players will want to keep this head at 44 ˝” to 45”. Still, the Fire Forged worked quite well for us at longer lengths; it just needed to be struck well and struck firmly.

Because of these general right side tendencies, chronic slicers will probably be best advised to avoid the Fire Forged completely. However, handsy players who succumb too readily to snap hooks may find that this driver keeps a higher percentage of their drives in play. In terms of making mistakes to the left, the Fire Forged is a very stable performer, particularly when coupled to lower torque shafts such as the AccuFLEX Icon v2 and the Aldila One. For some, this driver may bring their patterns back to dead center.

s to overall consistency of accuracy: The Fire Forged is good, but not great. Basic aiming is intuitive, but precise aiming is not. The snazzy, little Snake Eyes logo is used on the crown as an alignment aid. This is a sharp looking bit of graphic design. It is not a particularly effective alignment aid, however. Some users may not be sure exactly where it should be pointing. Consequently, the head may register a little too open or closed. Such uncertainty can occur whenever a company decides to use its own logo as an alignment aid. In general, any graphics on a crown should be specifically designed to be effective alignment marks, or the crown should be left plain. Nonetheless, reaction to alignment marks varies greatly, so this aspect may be completely irrelevant to many players.

As to the shafts that were used:

The AccuFLEX Icon v2 is for very strong hitters only. Teamed with the Fire Forged it creates a real blaster. A player can lay into this combo with all he’s got and still maintain tight patterns. Slicers will definitely want to avoid it, however. Trajectories are noticeably lower with the AccuFLEX than they are with the other two shafts tested. They penetrate well and produce more roll. Appearance-wise, the charcoal and pewter Icon made for a very handsome, very rich looking driver with an ultra-serious appearance.

For another combination, we decided to go with the Snake Eyes ProLite by Grafalloy because we were familiar with the shaft. We thought that it would make a good point of reference. In retrospect, we wish that we had opted for the Snake Eyes Fire Forged graphite by UST. The ProLite graphite provided its typical feel; a feel that is smoothly responsive and enjoyably mellow. Cut long, however, it provided a bit too much head movement for most of our crew. The Grafalloy shaft felt a shade too whippy and loose with somewhat of a slingshot effect – more like a firm, senior flex than a regular flex. It did generate the best distances of the bunch with moderately high trajectories, but consistency of control was somewhat lacking. Though we have not tested the combo, we would suggest that stronger players who desire a matched head/shaft combination opt for the Snake Eyes/UST shaft cut to no more than 45 ˝”. Its reduced torque rating should provide tighter patterns.

In the third combination, we teamed the black and red SK Fiber Tour Trac 80 senior-flex graphite with a dark, burgundy leather grip from Gripmaster. Another exceeding fine looking driver resulted. Besides looking good, this combo produced the most consistently pleasing results of the three. The SK Fiber is not very soft for a senior shaft. Few would consider it to be at all whippy. It should be thought of as soft regular flex best suited to those with smooth, slow tempos. True seniors may want a shaft with a little more kick to it. The Tour Trac 80 is an inexpensive shaft with a mid bend point and a moderate torque rating of 4.0. It seemed to add some additional height to the Fire Forged drives, but ballooning did not occur. Feel was reasonably vibrant and patterns for those hitters suited to this shaft remained quite good. For a 44.5” driver, this combo pronounced some very good yardages – high, but good.

The added trajectory height and shorter shaft length of the SK Fiber combination were genuine blessings for one of our testers. His normal tendencies are to hit draws that fly too low to achieve top-rate distances. Low-flying, snap hooks are his primary nemesis. For him, this combo flew very straight with trajectories that were still low, but more arched than normal. Carry was improved noticeably with only marginal reductions in penetration and roll. They both remained quite good. In the past, other large-headed drivers had reduced his inclination to go too far left, but they generally did so due to stiffer, hard-feeling, low-torque shafts. Though the Fire Forged/SK Fiber combo was an inch shorter than his usual, regular flex drivers, it produced a better, overall distance average. This was due to an increase in carry and a noticeable reduction in mistakes to the left. Also, the jumbo head and shorter shaft were very reassuring at address. This created swings that were more confident and relaxed.

Summary: The Snake Eyes Fire Forged Max C.O.R. 400 is an extremely good looking head with a color scheme that goes well with many different shafts. Fit and finish is very fine. This head looks like an expensive, top quality component. Feel at impact with the Fire Forged is decidedly solid and substantial. Shots leave the forged face with authority and carry very well with arched trajectories. This is a moderately high-hitting head that can achieve fine distances for those who need a bit more height. The Fire Forged is a workable head, but it is also one that goes to the right easier than to the left. Severe slicers and those who push their fades too often will probably want to avoid the Fire Forged. Hookers, on the other hand, may find it suits their needs quite admirably. When coupled to overlength shafts, this head produces some heavy swingweights that can exaggerate its right side tendencies. For most, it will work best at 45” or less.

Fox M2 Jr. Set – Irons, Woods, Putter and Bag

by Leave a Comment

What immediately distinguishes the Fox M2 Jr. club set from many other youth sets is its seriousness. This set comes in a highly attractive black, leatherette golf bag complete with matching rain hood. The clubs themselves are compellingly designed with small fox heads on the back of each club. They are cute, but hardly cutesy. They look like smaller versions of real golf clubs. The resulting presentation is one that should appeal to kids of all ages – including those wannabe grownups ten years of age and older. Unlike some colorful youth sets, these relatively staid kiddy clubs have the benefit of appearing to children to be just the same as adult clubs, but in sizes appropriate to their own physiques.

The durable heads of M2 Jr. irons are made from 431 stainless steel. They are muscleback cavities. They are moderately sized and provide some sincere forgiveness without sacrificing too much in the way of playability. In fact, they seem exceptionally playable when compared to some of the clunkier, jumbo-sized youth sets we have seen.

The heads of the M2 Jr. woods are made from 17-4 stainless steel. They are also of a moderate size – friendly, but not unwieldy. As with the irons, they are handsome and playable in their nature. Their elevated lofts are specific to the needs of juveniles. Their low, wide shapes help to get the ball airborne easily. From what we can tell about their performance, they are dynamic, lively, little woods.

The Fox Youth M2 Jr. youth clubs come in two, basic sizes: One for kids aged 5-9 and one for kids aged 10-14. We “tested” the basic set plus a 4-wood in the smaller, peewee version. The resulting experience was one we will soon not forget.

Our first tester was a six-year old boy with an enthusiastic, albeit moody, approach to golf. He had been repeatedly coached on the fundamentals of the game by a doting grandfather. His initial response to the Fox clubs was very positive. The image of the little fox and the overall, assertive nature of the irons soon overwhelmed him, however. After a few aggressive swings at golf balls, he spied a groundhog running into a newly dug den that was located smack in the center of one of our practice traps. Off flew our junior tester in pursuit. With Fox M2 Jr. iron in hand, he started flailing away at the entrance to the woodchuck’s den. Finding progressive too slow using traditional swing mechanics, he soon began digging at the hole with the iron. The iron did not have enough loft for the job at hand. Being inexperienced, Junior had little understanding of sand wedges. The result: No groundhog was brought to bear. Disillusioned, our pint-sized associate would not return to the testing fold. Oh well, some things are more important to a six-year old boy than golf.

Our next tester was an eight-year old girl. This young lady was a talented athlete who was well-schooled in golf, lacrosse and field hockey – a regular , little jockette. Again, this bantam tester liked the cute but no-nonsense presentation of the Fox clubs. Her past clubs had been all pink and yellow – too child-like for her current state of mind. Being an aggressive child, she took immediately to the more serious, weapon-like look of the Foxes. They looked good and felt good to her. Her results were immediately strong with both the irons and the 4-wood. Her little blasts flew long and straight, and with surprisingly good height.

Again, unfortunately, the testing session was destined for an early termination as there had been, unbeknownst to us, an invisible pony waiting on the tee beside our distaff peewee. After a short testing session, she jumped on this transparent steed and bounded off across the field. She then proceeded to engage an entire squadron of invisible ponies and riders in a full chukka (chukker?) of polo. After all was said and done, our mini-tester’s feedback read: “Nice clubs. The 4-wood makes a great polo mallet. I like the black bag and the little fox.”

Further juvenile testing netted results no more structured than those of the first sessions. (We should have gone with the bigger kid set) Needless to say, this will probably be GCR’s last attempt to conduct actual, on-site testing with kiddy clubs in the hands of actual, on-site kiddies. In the future, we will use our own opinions of juvenile club sets. We’re all arrested adolescents, anyway.

Summary: Four things about these sets of Fox M2 Jr. clubs were apparent to all, young and old. They make for a classy set of clubs of obvious quality. They look like serious, grownup golf clubs. They inspire users with an enthusiastic sense of fun. And lastly, they are real golf clubs in every sense of the word – playable and durable. These Fox clubs make a great second set of golf clubs for children – that set that comes after the adults have ascertained that the child has a real interest in golf.

Little, bitty kids should have cartoon characters on their golf clubs. Older kids who are ready to learn the game appreciate miniature versions of real golf clubs. These serious Fox clubs will not embarrass their users when said users are confronted by older children and teens on the course or at the range. The handsome, black bag is very practical. It will make a child feel like a serious golfer in front of all comers.

STX Putter Balls

by Leave a Comment

The purpose of the conjoined STX Putter Balls is a straight-forward one. If they are impacted straight on with a perfectly square putter face, they will roll dead straight. If they are impacted with an open or closed putter face, or with a pushed or pulled stroke, they will roll poorly – very poorly. Like two wheels on a single axle, they will scoot left or scoot right. Push only on the left wheel (ball) and the tandem will veer right. Push only on the right wheel (ball) and the unit will twist off to the left. Equal force must be applied to both wheels (balls) to have the pair roll forward on a straight line.

The object with this contrivance is to learn how to make a putting stroke that goes dead square down the line through impact. However, there is a serious rub to this double-ball putting, practice approach. A player may align his stance to perfection. He may align his putter’s head perfectly. He may make a dead-on perfect stroke, but, and it’s a big but, if the double-balls are set up a tad out of whack, they will roll asunder. It does a player no good whatsoever to aim precisely at a cup if the balls, themselves, are not also aimed there – and that is a tougher task than might be imagined.

A regular golf ball need not be aligned at all, unless of course, a balance or alignment line has been added to the ball by the player. After all, golf balls are spheres. They don’t care where the target is. The player has to make certain that he aligns himself, his stroke and his putter’s head to the target, but that’s it. The ball is round. There is no point in shifting it one way or the other. It will roll in any direction along which it is propelled. Alas, no such convenience exists with the STX Putter Balls. They not only need to be aligned square to the target line; they need to be precisely aligned square to the target line. Anything less and it is pointless to proceed.

Now, in theory, a player can practice with the STX Putter Balls using no specific target. He can just square the face of his putter against the balls and putt away. This will help the player learn to create a smooth, straight stroke. The problem here is: Straight to where? What reference points will the player have? How will he know what goes where and why? Will he be practicing an open stroke? A closed stroke? Who knows?

We would suggest that anyone using the STX Putter Balls for any extended period of time use chalk or thin cord to mark a target line on his green or carpet. Then, he should carefully mark a perpendicular positioning line for the face of his putter. The double-balls may then be accurately aligned along the positioning lines before each practice putt.

If a player follows the above procedure, and if he does so many times, he has no choice but to become an infinitely superior putter of golf balls. If, on the other hand, he just fiddles with the balls putting them willy-nilly, it will be hit or miss as to whether he actually improves his stroke. The exception to this comes for players who own large-headed putters that have strong vertical and perpendicular alignment lines on their crowns (see photo above). These players will have a much easier time of it. They may not need any alignment indicators on their putting surfaces. The ones on their putter might suffice.

Lastly, the STX Putter Balls have an aspect to them that elevates them above most training aids. They are cheap – really cheap. If a player proves too neurotic or too insecure to continue practicing with them, he is out very little in the way of pocket money.

STX Putter Balls are available in various pro shops throughout the land.
