Take Control of Your Game


TakeControlOfYourGame1.png
If you have a fairly decent short game and are missing a lot of greens a suggestion to improve your short game would be to use a golf ball that spins more to help you get up and down. Along with greenside control, extra spin, tour-grade performance, and exceptional feel,that is what a golfer in control wants. Here are a few suggestions we have for a ball with more control around the greens, approach shots, and have exceptional feel.

  • Titleist Pro V1: has a softer urethane cover to allow more spincontrol and feel around the green. 
  • TaylorMade Tour Preferred: Has more spin on iron shots, and the Soft Tech Cover this ball has more greenside control and spin.
  • Bridgestone B330-S: The Bridgestone Tour B330-S (spin) is designed for golfers seeking exceptional, consistent performance while achieving incredible distance and optimal greenside control. If you have a swing speed over 100-112 mph or if you have a lower trajectory and feel like your shots are not spinning enough, this is the ball for you. 
  • TaylorMade Project (a):  a “tour” ball built for the amateur golfer. This ball has a spin mantle to help increase shortgame spin and it's urethane cover helps for higher greenside spin with softer feel. 
  • Srixon Z-Star XV: The Srixon Z-Star XV is a four-piece ball with a dual-core that decreases sping off the driver while creating high spin off full wedge shots and increases friction around the greens for short-game shots.

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

Jeeno, Nelly And Hannah Head Field For LPGA's First Major Of The Season

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
