The driver, wedge and putter are the most important scoring clubs. Here are three unique choices that will help you get the ball in the hole in fewer strokes. If not, they certainly are good conversation starters
|
Maruman Majesty Vanquish Known primarily in Asia, Maruman hopes to make
inroads in the U.S. with the Vanquish driver, for better players. It uses a
super-hard proprietary titanium called Fullerene that allows for an ultra-thin
face and “outrageous ball propulsion at impact.” The stock shaft is Fujikura’s
innovative Rombax. ($2,500, 800-650-1460)
Edel
Golf You can customize a club for your swing. Why not one for your putting
stroke? You can with a handcrafted, personalized putter from Edel that fits your
stroke precisely. With four head weights and three faceplates with different
lofts, you also can adjust your flatstick for varying green speeds. ($500,
541-271-0812)
Scratch Golf As the company’s name
indicates, you can design your wedge from scratch, based on your preferences and
swing shape—steep or shallow. The available options allow you to choose it all:
head shape, finish, sole grind, stamping, loft, shaft, grip, lie, length,
swingweight. (starting at $299, 800-834-4834)
