Match #6


Nike Forged Titanium


Mizuno T-Zoid


   

Nike vs Mizuno was the most interesting of matches because each manufacturer has developed a strong base of fans. The overall vote was too close to call so we had to pass both clubs through to the next round.

Match #7


Golf Gear Tsunami


Orlimar TriMetal hipTi
   

The war of the “long ball” clubs showed up between Golf Gear’s Tsunami and the Orlimar Hip Steel. The Tsunami won 129 votes to 71 votes.

Match #8


Stiletto II

Deep Red (305cc/360cc)
   

Wilson Deep Red was one of the most solid drivers that the 10-20 handicappers have ever hit. The Stiletto’s over-promise in their infomercials led to some disappointment. The Deep Red captured 125-75 of the votes.

Daiwa 360 Hi-Trac Tour


   

Daiwa won the most dependable (In both distance and direction) beating the Adams Driver 129 votes to 71 votes.
