Keegan Bradley gives Cleveland Golf equipment a Major boost in Atlanta

Article by Abigail

Keegan Bradley managed to hit all of the right shots at the right time to overcome 75 gruelling holes of golf and win his first Major in this year’s PGA Championship.

The Atlanta Athletic Club’s par-70 layout was long and tough, but Bradley only endured one bad hole the entire day when he triple-bogeyed the lengthy par-three 15th hole. Birdies followed on the next two holes and the rest is history. Let’s look at what Bradley used in his first Major triumph and second victory this year as a rookie on the PGA Tour.

Cleveland driver

UltraLite equals extra distance

Keegan used the Cleveland UltraLite TL310 10.5° driver with a Miyazaki Kusala 61 shaft, and boy did he hit the ball long with this golf club. He even managed a 360-yard missile on the par-five 12th hole, which left him a long-iron in, which he hit to just a few feet from the hole and brought him straight back into contention at the time.

The UltraLite series of drivers has proved to be quite successful in adding yards to anyone’s game (just ask our Ed, who received one a few weeks ago and hits it absolute miles). The Miyazaki shafts have also been a great hit with new technology that has allowed the shaft to become lighter yet maintain the stiffer flex required by tour professionals.

Cleveland fairway wood

Another long hitter even from the fairway

Keegan used a Cleveland FL 14° fairway wood with a Miyazaki Kusala 83 shaft. This club came in handy on the longer par-5s and off the tee when the driver was too much club, something rather unusual these days.

The golf club is 30-grams lighter than most other fairway woods and therefore offers more clubhead speed for added distance.

Cleveland hybrids

Playing it safe with two hybrids

Keegan carried two hybrids in his victorious bag, a Cleveland Launcher DST 18° with a Project X XHB6 shaft, and a Cleveland Mashie TM3 20.5° with a Miyazaki C Kua 105 shaft.

The two hybrids came in handy out of the rough especially on the longer par-fours. Bradley also used them as other options off the tee, with the 20.5° hybrid replacing his 3-iron in the set.

Cleveland irons

Forgiveness, workability and feel in one set

Keegan used the Cleveland CG7 Tour irons (4-PW) with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts. The tour issue shafts are slightly heavier and stiffer than regular issue and suit players who like to manipulate their ball flight and trajectory, which was an advantage on the tough layout.

Cleveland wedges

The No 1 wedges in golf

Keegan carried two Cleveland CG14 wedges with lofts of 52° and 58°, also fitted with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts.

The CG14′s are in fact older wedges that have been brought back into the market due to high demand by professionals and amateurs alike.http://www.classicalgolf.net/ They feature slightly larger heads with a cavity-back design and a soft plastic insert behind the impact area.

Keegan has obviously had his wedges for quite a while as they were rather rusted, a factor that adds more spin off the clubface.

Odyssey putter

The first Major triumph with a long-putter

Keegan used the Odyssey White Hot XG Sabretooth putter, which was most noticeably a long-putter. The soft face insert offers more feel especially on long putts and Bradley used this to his advantage when he was one of the only players all day to drain a lengthy downhill putt on the par-three 17th for birdie.

Srixon ball

Another Major win for the Z-Star

Keegan’s win with the Srixon Z-Star ball, the softer of the two options,http://www.golfzonejp.com/ ensured that four different ball brands won Majors in 2011. This ball is really long off the tee yet incredibly soft around the greens and is the biggest reason why 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell switched equipment brands from Callaway to Srixon at the beginning of the year.

Article by Carl Liver

Cleveland Golf are located in Huntington Beach, California and have produced and sold golf clubs since 1979 under the direction of founder Roger Cleveland. However in the 1940′s and 1950′s the company started with production of remarkable replicas. In 1990 Cleveland was bough-out by ski company Rossignol, who themselves were bought by Huntington Beach based Quicksilver in 2005. In 2007 Quicksilver sold to Japan based SRI Sports Unlimited who are the owners of Dunlop sport.

Today Cleveland is highly regarded as the leader in product innovation. It has three international affiliates Japan, Europe and Canada. They currently have 26 distributors worldwide.

As part of their touring professionals they count with Vijay Singh, Boo Weekley, Joe Durant, and David Howell and many more.

It is technology like CMM metal, golf’s first light density, which has established Cleveland golf clubs among the best in the business. Cleveland Golf is also known for the best wedge according to many. Take a look at the CG 16 which is designed with a lighter overall club weight and a longer club length for greater distance.

Just this year they released their latest addition to the range of Cleveland golf clubs, the Mashie Hybrid; a utility club with an old school look. The finish is a throwback to early metal woods. This hybrid is 30 times lighter than most traditional utilities. A faster head speed for more ball speed and carry. The sole rails provide stability while a solid feel and sound at impact. This should be one of clubs to look at while considering which hybrid to use.

A look at Cleveland Golf Drivers and Accessories

Article by Carl Liver

Cleveland Golf have been manufacturing golf clubs since 1979. Throughout the last 30 years the company grown considerably since their early days manufacturing replica golf clubs from the 1940′s and 1950′s. Cleveland Golf are now considered one of the world’s premier manufacturers of golf equipment and accessories.

Having a closer look at the current range of Cleveland golf clubs, and more specifically their range of golf drivers, Cleveland have got themselves in the Golf Digest Hot List 2011 with their Launcher XL270 driver. This golf club is amongst the lightest drivers in golf today which features a 460cc clubhead. This is a traditional weight for a clubhead, but coupled with the lightest shaft ever played on the PGA tour results in a truly exceptional driver.

The Launcher Ultralight series of Cleveland drivers feature the ‘Right Weight’ fitting system and the XL270 is also available in a draw version, where the weight is biased towards the heel of the club and the face is slightly closed to reduce slice. The Launcher Ultralight series is amongst the most versatile of Cleveland golf clubs, where the perfect driver can be found for every player.

Although best known for their range of golf clubs, a comprehensive range of Cleveland golf accessories is also available. Often overlooked by the amateur golfer but an essential bit of kit none the less is the golf towel, of which Cleveland supply several. Keeping your balls and clubs clean is essential to consistent play as debris or dried on mud on either the ball or face of the club can significantly affect play. A spare ‘clean’ golf towel is also handy for mopping ones brow or wiping sweaty hands on in the height of summer.

Another essential accessory of of course the golf bag, and the ‘Sunday’ or ‘pencil’ bag is one of the most popular Cleveland golf accessories. Smaller than the average bag, the Cleveland Golf Nano Carry Bag is perfect for a short round where carrying all your clubs isn’t necessary or for taking on holiday where costs of additional luggage prohibits taking a full set of clubs with you. Being smaller than a standard golf bag, the Nano Carry Bag is ideal for younger players who are growing out of the junior sized golf equipment, but not quite ready for a full sized golf bag.

For those who are proud to use Cleveland golf equipment and want to show their allegiance even off the course, Cleveland have a range of golf caps and visors which are both stylish and functional. Available in a variety of styles and even more colours, Cleveland caps are perfect for those who are style conscious both on and off the course.

Vern Burns-Professional Golfer: Newest Phenomenon Since Tiger Woods and Michelle Wie

Vern Burns-Professional Golfer: Newest Phenomenon Since Tiger Woods and Michelle Wie

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) April 18, 2006

At the age of 48, Vern Burns is competing for a spot on the PGA sanctioned Nationwide Tour. Vern Burns is the only man in Golf History, to take up the game of golf for the first time at the age of 37, and shot his first par in seven months, and play his way to a professional tour in seven years.

Prior to picking up golf on a friend’s dare, Vern Burns enjoyed a successful career as a telecommunication engineer for 28 years. The meteoric rise of Vern Burns to professional golf is featured in the cover story of the Spring 2006 publication of “the African American Golfer’s Digest.” (http://www.African American Golfers Digest.com).

In 2001, Vern Burns was the Charlie Pelham Memorial Champion, The Marriott Partners Tournament Champion, and the Disney MBE Golf Classic Champion. In 2003, Vern advanced to the Cadillac Classic Series Professional tour, and recently in 2005, Vern brought home the Florida A&M/Bethune-Cookman Classic Champion Trophy

Vern Burns as a late bloomer to professional golf is redefining the sport like none before him. The Senior PGA Tour has always produced a variety of late bloomers, who claimed spots on the PGA Tour with little or no experience like Dana Quigley, Jim Holtgrieve, Walter Hall and Steve Veriato to name a few. There are also some notable late bloomers like Calvin Peete and Brandel Chamblee, who played professional golf in their twenties and did not win a PGA Tour until they were 36.

Unlike Peete and Chamblee, Vern Burns never picked up a golf club until he was 37. Burns contributes his early success in Professional Golf to a 1996 private golf lesson that he had with Earl Woods, Tiger Woods’ father. According to Burns, Earl truly inspired him to play and he recognized Burns’ early commitment to become one of America’s greatest golfers. In addition, Vern Burns has also received some assistance from sponsors like Desente Gold, Club Glove, Dilla Golf and Cleveland Golf to lower the cost of financing his new career.

Vern continues to defy the odds at the age of 48, as he competes for a spot on the PGA sanctioned Nationwide tour against individual golfers half his age. This is what Sports Writers all around the world are calling “The Vern Burns Phenomenon!”
