OB SPORTS GOLF & LEISURE x SPRING 2014 x obsports.com l EQUIPMENT ALTERED STATES n with adjustability, drivers can be modified in a snap I n the days of persimmon-head drivers there weren't many adjustments you could make to your golf club. Maybe you'd risk appearances and slap on a piece of lead tape to increase the weight in your club head, but that was about the extent of the tinkering you could do. Today's crop of drivers, however, are all about adjustability. Need more loft? No problem. Just turn a dial. Need less spin? You got it. Here's a wrench. Nowadays, with a turn here and a click there you can contort your driver into any number of loft and lie positions to help you hit the ball straighter and farther. NIKE GOLF VR_S COVERT 2.0 TOUR n The secret to hitting longer shots? The stealthy VR_S Covert 2.0 Tour driver, according to the brain trust at Nike Golf. With its enhanced cavity- back design and increased stability, the driver delivers faster ball speed and greater distance – up to six yards more than the previ- ous model. The driver also features the FlexLoft ad- justability system to alter the loft and face for 15 different angle positions. TAYLORMADE SLDR n The SLDR not only helps you hit the ball better it makes you smarter, too. That's because you get an education from Taylor- Made in lofting up. The theory goes: higher launch + low spin + more loft = more distance. Got that, Einstein? With a low for- ward center of gravity and increased loft, you'll be closer to the launch condi- tions that TaylorMade says is the holy grail to achiev- ing maximum distance. TITLEIST 913D2 n It's shaped like a pear, but it's got the power of a jackhammer. The 913D2 is a 460cc high-performance driver that features im- provements in flight, fit, looks, feel and sound. The club's dual-angle hosel provides independent loft and lie adjustments to fine tune ball flight. Improved weighting increases stabil- ity and creates a low and deep center of gravity for optimum launch angles and spin rates.
