They've done it again...

When a product has been the centre of a range for over a decade you know it must be pretty special, right? We certainly think so and it can be said of the Srixon AD333 golf ball, which is now into its ninth generation.

How does it differ? Well, it feels amazingly soft, provides even more distance and imparts a lot of spin when around the green. It's definitely worth a go, even if we do say so ourselves.

Battle of the irons

Before we pit these two beauties against one another, have a think about how good your bad shots are? It's a bit of an oxymoron, but are they disastrous and leading to big scores or are they less penal and still go somewhere around the green?

Red corner - Titleist T300 irons

If your bad shots really are bad then it's definitely worth looking at a game-improvement iron, like the T300 from Titleist. Not only does it come with added tungsten weighting in the toe for maximum forgiveness that you'll appreciate, but Max Impact technology provides incredible distance and feel across the entire face.

Blue corner - Titleist T100 irons

Those of you who tend to strike the ball well the majority of the time should consider the T100 model. It's a player's iron with a cleaner look next to the ball, and allows the better player to shape and flight the ball in whichever way they want. Both of these irons are available to try in your local pro shop today!

Just landed: autumn/winter clothing

Golf at this time of year can be hard work if you're not prepared for the elements, so cast an eye over these great new options from Galvin Green that are now available in-store. If any tickle your fancy, click on the image to learn more or come in-store to try one on for size.

Miguel Polo

This polo is all about the stripes and it looks simply resplendent because of it. If you're after something bold, we couldn't recommend anything else.

Dwight Pullover

Insula fabric comes to the fore with excellent thermal insulation in this soft and stretchy garment. We also love it's disguised chest pocket, perfect for your scorecard.

Marty Tour Polo

The Marty Tour polo will certainly bring out your brighter side thanks to this striking colour and smart detailing. As far as classic polos go, this is right up there.

Video of the Week

We are often left amazed at some of the shots that the world's best golfers manage to pull off, but sometimes the stars aren't aligned and things can go wrong. Enjoy this week's video as we take a look back at some of the unluckiest shots ever seen on the European Tour.

I hope you have a great week.
