Volume Three Hundred Seventy-Six

Rory Falters, Tiger Spasms, but Paula Delivers.

Hittin' the LinksAnd the winner is… the TV audience. If you missed the final round of the Honda Classic, you missed quite a bit of drama not usually seen in a March tournament not held at Doral or Bay Hill. There was a premature departure, one of the best three-wood shots under pressure that we’ve ever seen, and more than smidgen of major-caliber puckering. Still it wasn’t the Honda Classic that gave us the most compelling golf moment of the weekend. That occurred in Singapore while most of us slept. Do yourself a favor and watch the video of that moment in the first link.

Next week, we get our first look at Doral-by-the-Donald and the third WGC event of the year. If that’s not enough, you can round out your weekend golf watching with the Puerto Rico Open. But first, let’s hit the links.

TaylorMade JetSpeed Fairway Wood Review

Can TaylorMade follow up the RocketBallz with JetSpeed? We find out.

TaylorMade JetSpeed Fairway SoleAfter several years of the RocketBallz woods occupying TaylorMade’s consumer-oriented lineup, TM released the JetSpeed line late in 2013. Eschewing much of the look behind the RBZ woods (white crown on black face, bold graphics) and building upon the recent hype of their own SpeedPocket technology, the JetSpeed is somewhat of a tuned-down design.

There’s no promise of a dozen extra yards here, despite what you might expect from TaylorMade. The JetSpeed isn’t adjustable in any way, and there’s no tour-level option. You won’t find #JetSpeed trending any time soon.

And yet, it’s earned a spot in my bag. Keep reading to find out why.
