Reid Lockhart Wedges Impress on Debut



Reid Lockhart Wedges Patented Dual Bounce Sole










Reid Lockhart Wedges

I took the new Reid Lockhart Wedges out for their debut today on the course. I had about an 80 yard shot out of the rough on my approach to a par 5. I stuck it to about 3 feet. I didn’t see a ball mark so I couldn’t tell what sort of stopping power the shot had. I hit a couple from the fairway on the same hole from about 90 yards out. Both shots hit the green and sucked back 8-9 feet from the ball mark. These shots had some serious spin on them.

On the next hole, I tried several shots from about 85 yards to a firmer green. This green is notorious for resembling an asphalt parking lot in the summer as shots just bounce off of it and nothing holds. We’re having a wet spring here in Ohio but the green is still a bit firmer than the other greens on the course. I put five shots on the green and they each spun back anywhere from 3-6 feet.

Fitting your clubs to your game

Back in March, I reported on getting fit for the proper length clubs as well as for shafts that worked well with my particular swing. It’s been a few weeks and I thought I would follow up with how the “new” clubs have worked for me.

Reid Lockhart Wedges


Reid Lockhart Wedges

I just got my Reid Lockhart Wedges assembled. Here’s a shot of the clubheads. You may not be able to tell from the picture but these are precision milled clubheads. They are designed to put super spin on the ball. I’m waiting for the grips to set before I try them out but, once I do, I will give a full report. These are really sharp looking wedges. I coupled them with some True Temper Dynamic Gold Shafts with Sensicore and some yellow and black Golf Pride DD2 grips. The wedges also come with their Patented Reid Lockhart Dual Bounce Sole which makes the wedges easy to hit from the sand as well as from the fairway and rough. These are 52, 56 and 60 degree wedges.

Stay tuned as we at ohiogolfblog.com may become a retailer of this product soon. If they work as good as they look, they should be a smash hit.

The Golf Cradle

This item is from The Golf Channel’s “Fore Inventors Only,” if you happened to catch that show. The best part of the show may have just been Stina Sternberg, but this is a handy little item that I may pick up in the near future – The Golf Cradle.

You place it in your car trunk and it provides a stationary base for your clubs to rest on. It prevents damage that may occur to your clubs in transport. I could really use this as I generally just keep my clubs in my trunk, and they get sloshed around all the time with the daily grind of driving. I assume that it somehow attaches to your trunk but maybe not. Perhaps just the weight of the clubs keeps it in place. Some of the best inventions are the most simple ones.

Personally, I’d love to get a trunk organizer that completely outfits your trunk for golf and golf only. Is there one out there?

Taylormade TP2 Golf Balls – spintastic!

I received a box of Taylormade TP2 Golf Balls as a gift and finally tried them out today at the course. My first shot was to a par 3 with a pitching wedge. The ball hit on the green and spun back off into the rough. I went up to the green and found the ball mark. The ball had spun back 22 feet from the ball mark. Considering that it probably bounced forward at least three feet after it landed, it really spun back about 25 feet. Granted, it did hit into a slight incline and spun back on a down-slope. But that was crazy. I felt like Greg Norman.

For the rest of the round, the Taylormade TP2 Golf Ball pretty much ended up at or slightly behind its ball mark. Conditions were a bit damp but this ball has some serious spin. I stopped one dead in its tracks with a five iron. I’m going to have to try it again on a dry day to see how it does but for today, it was crazy spintastic.

Tune up your equipment to play your best golf

It’s the start of golf season and before you dive head first into it, you may want to take a hard look at your golf equipment. If you want a quick and relatively cheap tune up, get some new grips for your golf clubs. There’s nothing like the confidence inspired from new grips on your golf clubs. Couple those grips with a new glove and you’re ready to rip it. These Golf Pride Decade Grips are awfully tempting. They are advertised as the number one grip on tour and they sure look sharp.

Make sure and get fitted for the right sized grip. A too thin grip and you’ll be hooking it. A too thick grip and you’ll be slicing the ball. Or if you want to correct a slice, a thinner grip will help straighten out that ball flight. If you are hooking it, a thicker grip will help.

Sun Mountain Speed Cart – a must for walkers

One of my favorite golfing accessories is the Sun Mountain Speed Cart. I’ve had mine for several years now. Prior to the Speed Cart, I used to carry my bag. Sure, the double strap helped out a lot, but it never made any sense losing 3 or more strokes simply because lugging your golf bag on your back tired you out towards the end of the round. Heck, even the pros don’t carry their own bag.

The Speed Cart is the next best thing to a caddy – and may even be better. I love to walk because I get into a better rhythm than when I ride. I have time to consider my next shot as I walk to my ball as well as time to take in my surroundings and enjoy the round. Besides making walking easy on the golf course, the Speed Cart really makes playing in less than ideal weather a breeze.
