![]() Eric Jones, the 2003 long-drive champion, won the senior and open divisions at the 2006 Players Tour Orlando stop using the C830.2. Jim Yeh, president and chief designer of Alpha Golf, paired wide-body construction with a super-thin titanium face to achieve easier launches, low backspin, more distance and greater accuracy. The V2 offers a black face that registers point-of-impact marks to illustrate any needed swing adjustments before being wiped clean. Call (800) 222-1186, or visit alphagolfclubs.com. GOLF COAST VECTOR BETA TI 460 Golf Coast bets on the spring effect to improve the swing effect for players with a swing speed of less than 105 mph. The 460 MF features a super-thin face backed by a second face that allows spring but prevents overflexing. Golf Coast uses its trademark TC-101 beta alloy to create a strong toe and a stiff body — the one-two punch for reducing body flex and increasing energy transfer to the ball. Call (800) 465-3767, or visit thegolfcoast.com. YONEX CYBERSTAR NANOSPEED Yonex uses nano carbon, or fullerene, to create a faster-performing shaft that is lighter yet more stable than traditional graphite. Throw in an ultra-thin crown that redistributes mass lower and deeper within the clubhead and you’ve found the perfect storm for driver performance — a higher launch angle, decreased spin rate, larger sweet spot and greater moment of inertia. Call (800) 44-YONEX, or visit yonex.com. |
