Adams Releases Pro Black CB1 Irons

For years, Adams Golf has quietly been making hybrid clubs enjoyed by some of golf's best players. Anthony Kim, Vijay Singh, and Jim Furyk, as well as other top pros, have all used one in recent years. Now, with the release of the Idea Pro Black CB1s, Adams is hoping that accomplished players will also consider its irons, too. Forged from 8620 carbon steel, the Pro Black CB1 irons have subtle perimeter weighting, but a thin topline and sole, which should be pleasing to the eye for golfers who like to shape the ball. In a release, Chip Brewer, CEO and President of Adams Golf, said: “Originally developed exclusively for our professional staff players like Tom Watson, the overwhelmingly positive comments about the feel and performance of the CB1s from the tour inevitably led us to make this set an integral part of the successful Idea family of irons. This stealth-looking set has already received high marks from golf enthusiasts plugged into the online community so we look forward to bringing the CB1s to low-handicap golfers everywhere who appreciate the control and workability of this forged set of irons.” The standard set of CB1s will come with eight clubs (4-GW), and all will have grooves that conform to the new USGA standard for competition. Players can choose between two stock shaft options, Rifle Project X Flighted ($899, suggested retail) or Mitsubishi Rayon Javin FX i95 graphite shafts ($1,099, suggested retail).

Bag of the Day: Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson is on the cover of the January, 2010 issue of GOLF Magazine. Not only is there an excellent story inside by Michael Bamberger about how Dave Stockton helped Mickelson get his putting touch back, but there's also a detailed instruction article from Stockton on his five secrets for holing more putts. Here is a list of the clubs that Phil Mickelson used to win the last event he played, the WGC-HSBC Champions at Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai: DRIVER: Callaway FT-9 (7.5) Tour hosel with Mitsubishi Fubuki 73 X shaft FAIRWAY WOOD:

Phil Mickelson’s Tour Championship Winning Clubs

A lot of golfers on the PGA Tour use custom-made clubs, but Phil Mickelson's 18 Callaway hybrid is truly unique. When I asked him about it in June prior to the start of the U.S. Open at Bethpage, he told me, “This is a special club I actually made, taking the back part of the hybrid out so that I can open it way up and get through that thick rough.” No other player on Tour has one, although a few Callaway staff players have tried one at the company's headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif. But don't hold your breathe hoping that Callaway is going to make a version of the club available anytime soon. Justin Timberlake , who is a paid member of the Callaway Golf staff, also tried a Mickelson-spec hybrid at the company's test center and loved it. After asking Callaway representatives if he could have it, he was politely told no. Hey, if a guy who has dated Britney Spears and Cameron Diaz can't score one … Here is a list of the clubs that Mickelson used to win at East Lake: DRIVER: Callaway FT-9 (7.5) Tour hosel with Mitsubishi Fubuki 73 X shaft FAIRWAY WOOD:

Phil Mickelson’s clubs for 2009 U.S. Open

I had a chance to speak with Callaway Golf club designer Roger Cleveland in the company's massive tour truck this week. Cleveland mentioned that Phil Mickelson is using a new hybrid this week. Still in the prototype phase, the club was designed and conceived with significant input from Mickelson himself. Mickelson has previously used a Callaway FT hybrid in some tournaments. Cleveland would not go into detail about the club or specific technologies used in its creation, but Mickelson himself told reporters, “This is a special club I actually made, taking the back part of the hybrid out so that I can open it way up and get through that thick rough.” (Click on the image for a better look at the club.) Like all prototype clubs, there is no guarantee Phil's new hybrid will ever make it to the pro shop.
