Tips on New Bazooka Iron Sets

Hey Proshop Warehouse Golf Professional, Brad Smith,

I recently have been thinking about getting some new
fairway irons. With all the available golf clubs on the market, it is very confusing. I saw the Bazooka QL Irons from Tour Edge and liked the way they looked and felt. What do you think about these golf clubs for a golfer like me; I am a 15 handicap.

Proshop Warehouse Golf Pro, Brad Smith:Well golf club selection, to me, is largely based on comfort and how the club feels and performs for you. If you haven’t taken any of the clubs out for a test drive I would encourage you to do that before you make any decision. Hitting them on the driving range or on the golf course is preferable to these nets and hitting areas they have in the larger golf products stores.

But to your question, here is what I know about these particular golf clubs. The Bazooka QL irons utilize the latest super wide, low center of gravity (c.g.) sole. This stylistic enhancement comes courtesy of the Bazooka JMAX Iron-Wood. Fully interchangeable with the JMAX Iron-Wood, the QL irons share the same appealing top line as well.

The end result of these “technical” terms. It translates into a golf club that should be easier to hit higher and straighter. If you are struggling with these challenges with your fairway irons, these Bazooka QL Irons from Tour Edge may be for you.

Overall, I like the way the clubs hit and I also like the shafts (they are graphite) and it definitely seemed to produce straighter golf shots with my golf swing.

Proshop Warehouse featured in Entrepreneur Magazine (Golf Clubs)

A case in point is Proshop Warehouse of Franklin, Ohio, which specializes in liquidating golf equipment. Co-founders Todd McGohan and Tim Stallard, who are both avid golfers, began in 2000 with an initial inventory of $4,400 worth of golf clubs, which they sold on eBay at a 30 percent premium.

Encouraged by the quick sale of the clubs, McGohan and Stallard began approaching local golf pros and manufacturers to buy excess inventory, building their network of contacts and sources along the way. First-year sales were $300,000; second-year sales hit $3 million. By 2005, sales were close to $10 million, earning the company the coveted Titanium PowerSeller designation. “The most important thing,” says McGohan, 41, “is to stick with what you know.”

Today's Golf Club Driver Technology is Exciting!

New golf club driver technology is making golf more exciting than ever.

Tour pros from the 'persimmon era' had great drivers of the golf ball, good drivers of the golf ball, and relatively poor drivers of the golf ball.

Today, every PGA Tour pro seems to drive the ball well.

You've got the long ball hitters - like Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson. You've got the straight hitters - like Jim Furyk, Luke Donald and David Toms.



Each approach has its merits. After all, these guys are among the world's best players. So you've got accurate drivers and long drivers. But, thanks to today's new driver technology, all the bad drivers have disappeared.

Even Jose Maria Olazabal is respectable off the tee with the latest golf driver technology.

We are now in a position where everyone drives it well and there is not nearly as much 'separation' in terms of ability off the tee as there used to be.

I think the new driver technology is bringing a new era to the game of golf. Even for non-professionals, the game is much more fun when you can improve distance and consistency with the latest driver technology.
