TITLEIST TOUR SPEED BALL £40 A DOZEN CALLAWAY MACK DADDY CB WEDGE £119

The Titleist Tour Speed golf ball seeks to fill the middle ground between Pro V1 and Tour Soft in the quest for nearpremium performance at a lower price point. Its three-piece design aims to boost driver ball speeds and keep spin down for optimum long-game distance.

At the other end of the hole, a new urethane cover brings high levels of greenside spin and control with a soft feel. Overall, the Tour Speed provides excellent, near-tour ball performance from tee to green at a slightly lower price, making it a great-value option if premium prices are beyond your budget.

Tallaway’s MD CB is one of the best, and indeed, best-looking wedges for anyone looking for a little extra assistance and forgiveness in the scoring clubs. Its oversize cavity-back design does a great job of making the transition down from the final iron in your set a little less stark.

The slightly larger head and thicker topline are designed to inspire confidence, while Callaway’s Jaws grooves are on hand to provide all the spin you could ask for. There’s plenty of forgiveness on full shots and an excellent feel, something some golfers fear they will have to sacrifice in a cavity-back wedge.
