Dunlop Red Neck Putter

 


The Dunlop Red NeckPutter is no doubt an attractive piece of golfing equipment to start with. It features a red anodized aluminum hosel making it look more attractive than it already is. But there is a reason for the hosel. Dunlop says most standard putters are heel-weighted and imbalanced (causing golfers to pull short putts) because of the hosel’s extra weight.  The Redneck’s ultra light weight hosel make sure that the weight is evenly distributed all throughout the putter. 

In addition to the accurately centered sweet spot, Dunlop says the red anodized hosel also softens the impact of the stroke on the ball, resulting in better feel on both long and short putts.

This putter is made of 100% CNC Milled construction from 8620 soft carbon steel and is ideal for mid-handicappers who want not so pricey equipment.  It has a soft grip though but maybe that’s because it is really reasonably priced at $99.99.

If you are tired of hard to hit irons then the Nike Cpr Woods is a good replacement. It has a scoop-back design which makes possible a deep and lower center of gravity compared to the traditional long irons.

The Nike Cpr Woods has a lightweight graphite shaft plus a CPR grip. It is a lot heavier in the head compared to the other clubs but you’re sure to hit it.

If you want an accurate woods with lots of forgiveness then the Nike Cpr Woods would be a great buy.

 


The Nike Golf SQ Sumo Squared Hybrid with Graphite Shaft can be a reliable partner in the course even in the most difficult situations.

It has a generous offset and square head design. It is a hybrid with the highest moment of inertia design which allows you to accomplish high launches and stability even at impact. 

This hybrid has a cryo steel face which is light enough but combines a thick middle and thinner edges.   This combination allows a more consistent speed of the ball and high forgiveness even at a maximum distance.

Suffice it to say that aside from being solid this sqyared head hybrid is more forgiving even when compared to the Nike Slingshot hybrids.
