Tacki Mac's colorful new ITOMIC grips are not
like traditional rubber grips. They are made
from a proprietary blend of elastomeric
materials that are very tacky with a super
soft (but firm) feel. This revolutionary
blend of thermo-forming materials is both
very durable, and high performing in all
weather conditions. ITOMIC grips maintain
their tacky feel and new look for years by
washing them with warm soapy water. The new
Itomic grips are available in black, white,
red, or blue and in a new wrap style. Follow
the link below to order Itomic grips direct
from Tacki Mac.

The sale of the UST Proforce AXIVCore shafts
continue this week.
I can offer Clubmaker Report subscribers
great pricing of $50 off on the UST AXIVCore
Black, Red, and Green shaft models. They're
regularly $139.99, sale $89.99, and 22% off
on the Tour Blue. These shafts get a lot of
Tour usage. Stewart Cink used the Tour Red in
his driver and fairway woods for his Open
victory last year and the winner of last
weeks Shell Houston Open had the Tour Green
prototype in his driver and Tour Green in his
fairway woods.
The Proforce AXIVCore Blue shaft features an
active tip section that optimizes torque and
improves feel and generates more spin for
greater carry distance. The woven AXIV
material provides enhanced stability and
consistent shaft recovery without sacrificing
feel.
For players seeking high initial launch, low
spin and increased ball speed, the Proforce
AXIVCore Tour Black is a tour-proven,
counter-balance design that utilizes the AXIV
weave that provides enhanced stability and
consistent shaft recovery.
The new Proforce AXIVCore Tour Red is for
players who generate above average ball speed
and who desire a penetrating launch angle,
low ball spin, and a stable feel. Similar to
the Tour Black model, the AXIVCore Red is a
tour-proven design that combines the AXIV
weave and a superior high-modulus carbon
fiber in the mid and tip sections of the
shaft. However, the Tour Red Series features
a stiffer tip profile that delivers a strong,
penetrating launch trajectory, low spin, and
firmer feel.
For the player seeking better feel and
tighter shot dispersion in a lower launch,
low spin high performance golf shaft. The new
Tour Green integrates a true weave, 4-axis
material within the inner walls of the tip
section. This provides a flexurally stable,
torsionally responsive tip profile for lower
ball flight, reduced spin and better
shot-making control without sacrificing feel.
This tip-balanced shaft positions the overall
center of gravity closer to the tip so
players can better feel the position of the
clubhead throughout the swing.
I hope you take advantage of this special savings on a fantastic shaft line. Send me a note if you need help choosing the right shaft for your swing. UST has a really cool interactive fitting page at http://www.ustmamiya.com/swingfit/ Plug in the variables they ask for and you'll get a suggested shaft model, weight, and flex based on your answers. If you lie and say you have a 115 mph swingspeed when it is really only 85 mph, a hand will pop out of your screen and slap you silly. It hurts, I know from experience. |

Our favorite leather golf grip company has a
new name-- Best Grips. They've been a sponsor
at Clubmaker Online for a long time and make
a great product.
Here's what they have to say about their premium leather grips: The proprietary Pro-tack leather treatment provides a positive, active adhesion between your hand and the leather. The leather is moisture activated so the tack increases just when you need it. Leather just feels right and is superior to synthetic grips in every way: durability, shock absorption, feedback and grip. You owe it to yourself to play the Best! They have some unique exotic putter grips, a hand laced and baseball laced putter grip and a fantastic club grip. |

Matrix had a great showing at this years
Masters. The list of players using their Ozik
shafts includes a recent Masters champ, a
recent US Open champ, the guy that just
missed winning last years Masters and an
impressive list of PGA Tour stars. Their Ozik
HD6 was by far the most popular shaft from
this group of superstars.
Here's some info from Matrix: The new Ozik HD6 and HD7 are low launch low spin shafts positioned with the Code series (mid launch mid spin) and XCon series (high launch/low spin). With the Matrix Ozik HD and Matrix Ozik TPHD franchise, Matrix created new levels of structural strength and combined them with advancements in spin control. "HD" refers to the hexdecagonal (16-sided) internal platform on which the new designs are built. With the stronger 16-cutt butt section, Matrix engineers were able to better structure and strengthen the tip without adding overall weight and, at time, even lowering balance points to better match today's high MOI, low CG heads. The result is a stronger tip-strength-to-weight ratio than found with any previous Matrix Ozik. The internal HD structure can be made more consistently uniform than a circular design, further reducing the need for specific orientation during installation. To celebrate their great showing at the Masters, I thought I'd do a giveaway of an Ozik HD6 shaft (a $300 value). Follow the link below and read up on the HD6. Send me a quick note with Matrix Ozik in the subject line and tell me what type of ball flight you should expect from the HD6 (copy and paste is fine). I'll announce the winner at the next Clubmaker Report. |

I enjoy all of the "what's in the bag"
reports that you can find online and like
picking out what my favorite golfers are
playing (especially if they're doing well).
At the Masters, I saw Phil with a Mitsubishi Fubuki driver, fairway and Thump hybrid, Project X in his irons, Westwood with an Aldila Voodo, Cabrera with an Aldila RIP, KJ with an Aldila NV (we've got to get him in an NV Voodoo), Anthony Kim with a UST AXIVcore Tour green, Freddie with a Fuji (maybe an old school model) in his driver and a Harrison Mugen in his 3 wood. Golf Pride also notes that 47 players, nearly half the field, use their Tour Velvet model. You can find specs and details on all of these fine brands at my web site. I've tried most of the products that they offer and can offer you advice on choosing the right one for your game. |

What sets the VooDoo apart from other shafts
is its patent pending S-core, or stabilized
core, Technology designed to increase
distance and provide outstanding accuracy
with each swing. The real "magic" of the
VooDoo is the high modulus carbon
stabilization rib running the length of the
shaft. "Our S-core Technology dramatically
stabilizes the shaft's cross-section through
the use of an internal carbon-fiber rib
system," said John Oldenburg, Aldila's Vice
President of Engineering. "The innovative rib
structure increases hoop strength/stiffness
so much that it is 80 percent greater than
conventional graphite, and up to 60 percent
greater than competitors' attempts at cross
sectional stabilization." Visit the Aldila
Voodoo Web Site here http://aldilavoodoo.html .
