NEW! Titleist VG3 Irons

One of the MyGolfSpy’s vigilant long lens spies has managed to send us in a photo of the new Titleist VG3 Irons which we hear are scheduled for release in September for the Japan market.

Previous shots back in January of the Titleist VG3 Driver gave you a peak into a whole new thought process in regards to design at Titleist.  This was an entirely new concept that Titleist Japan & Titleist US worked together on to create. They wanted to appeal not only to the higher swing speed golfers but also the average club head speed as well.  They did this by creating a Variable Gravity and CG position for different lofts…that is where it gets its name VG which stands for “Variable Gravity”.

Unfortunately up to this point I have not heard if a similar technology will be included in the new Titleist VG3 Irons. We do know though that they will be forged.  We will update you with more info and new photos as soon as we get them.

2011 Ping Scottsdale Putters

Today…Ping was the first golf company we know of to tweet from their annual sales meeting.  The sales meetings are typically where they launch their new products and show off all their new gear to their reps.  Typically this was the first time anyone got to see the new product lines…but with sites like MyGolfSpy and others the reps are often times some of the last to see the companies future equipment.  A note to golf companies…”times they are a changin’.”

But Ping seems to be getting the message…because they decided to be somewhat proactive by letting not just their reps and staff but the whole world the chance to see all their new sticks right on Twitter.  Today they have been tweeting about all the new equipment for 2011…and this is what they have shown so far.  I think it was a great idea…so kudos to Ping once again for being ahead of the curve in the golf world.

So here ya go….here are Ping’s new putters for 2011!  Looks like there will be 14 models with a Thermoplastic Elastomer Insert.  The putters in the line-up will include:

YOUR OPINION – So what do you think (HOT or NOT?)

Crazy Earthquake – Localized To 1 Building

It was odd…but this morning their was a HUGE earthquake that shook the ground in Carlsbad, Ca.  Funny thing though…this massive quake was localized to only one building….and that was Scotty Cameron Headquarters.  What caused the quake…well it was a fault line located all the way across the pond in St. Andrews, Scotland.

The stress had been building on this fault line for sometime and all it took for the fault to break and release the wrath of its energy was golfer Tiger Woods setting his new Nike Method 001 Putter down on to the practice green.  And the ground instantly began to SHAKE!

It is not often that a putter change makes front page headlines or becomes “Breaking News” on just about every media outlet across the country.  Especially since most golfers change putters what seems to be close to a gazillion times a year.  But when Tiger Woods made the switch from a Scotty Cameron to the new Nike Method 001 Putter that is exactly what happened.  The names Tiger and Scotty have been linked for almost all of Tiger’s career…not many other players can say the same when it comes to using a flatstick that long.

So…Why The Switch?

Well Tiger said, “It rolls the ball better and faster.” And that he has always struggled on slower greens and that this putter gave him a better roll for these greens at the 2010 British Open.  But honestly this has been in the works for a while now.  And in my opinion the change was just a matter of time.  And remember…Nike was one of the few companies that stuck with him through the thick and the thing of late and from people I have spoke to in the industry this also had an effect on his decision to make the change.  Nike had the ball in their court in many peoples opinion by sticking by his side…definitely would give them some bargaining chips when trying to get him to put that 14th Nike club in his bag.  But his statements so far make people think…. “will he switch back to the Scotty after the Open?”

Well the statements people have heard from Tiger can mean 1 of 2 things in our opinion.

1. Either he really is just going to game this for one tournament (a major) *highly doubtful.
2. Or he is just trying to soften the blow to Scotty and their followers. *guess only time will tell.
   

So Is This The End Of An Era?

For all the golf gear heads and Scotty Cameron collectors across the world they are asking themselves this question right now.  Especially the collector’s.  Many of these guys have putters that could see values plummet if this is the case.  And when you are talking about $3,000-$5,000 putters this is a big deal.  And I am sure you will see an increase in listings on EBAY and forum classifieds for some of the more rare Scotty’s in the coming weeks from guys trying to get top dollar for them while they can.

Crazy to think that one player might have this effect on one brand…but the putter industry is a finnicky one.  There are more then a few putter companies that have literally been put on the map from a single golfer winning a single tournament with their brand.  So having the #1 golfer in the world change brands might just have the opposite effect.  Now by no means do I think Scotty will fall off the planet.  He will always be a highly sought after designer in the putter world.  He is too talented, too creative, and too respected by tour players not to be.

So will $100 headcovers and $3000 putters be a thing of the past?

Sound off…tell us what you think.
