All eyes on Wentworth

What an amazing weekend of sport we have ahead of us: the first cricket test of the summer takes place at Lord’s as England host Pakistan; Liverpool face serial winners Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and tennis’ clay court season comes to its climax as the French Open gets underway at Roland Garros.

But, more importantly, the European Tour returns to our shores as Wentworth hosts the BMW PGA Championship. Last year’s victor, Alex Noren, will be looking to carry on his stellar form and make it back-to-back victories but will face stiff competition from other Ryder Cup stars and past winners like Rory McIlroy and Paul Casey.

Callaway XR Speed Driver

As its name suggests, this Callaway driver is geared to help you swing faster for more power and longer shots. What’s not to like?

New X Face VFT Technology is behind the lightest and most flexible face Callaway has ever designed, while the carbon composite crown is 45% lighter than the titanium crown on the XR 16 model this driver replaces to significantly improve the forgiveness and speed it offers.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

PING Bradley trouser

PING Coast polo

PING Austin sweater

These PING options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

TaylorMade's M3 driver offers us the tools to do this thanks to its adjustable hosel and two sliding sole weights, which lets us fine-tune your spin and shot shape. While the TaylorMade M4 driver doesn’t have sole weights, it does share the same Hammerhead slot that allows the face to spring powerfully for effortless long distance.
