DUNLOP DDH GOLF CLUBS AT MC SPORTS DRIVER
I did have a bad experience with a Dunlop DS Tao driver where a slight mishit caused the crown to come apart at what looked to be an epoxy seam, so avoid that one. I also have a "Vengeance" 3 wood which I bought for 50 cents at a play-it-again. One I thing I have always noticed is that the grips they put on are quality items so they feel as good as they work. I also have a beautiful "Hexsert" #9 putter and a 60 degree Vokey wannabe wedge. Foremost irons (by Dunlop) are as good as any cast CB and are typically a ripoff of some well-known design (mine are basically a cleaner-looking Big Bertha). I have a lot of their clubs in my backup bag. What would it take for more people to give the "lesser" brands a go and why are we still so quick to dismiss them?Īfterall the aforementioned Skoda are now one of the most respected European car brands (thanks to VW-Audi Group and are the cheaper alternative to them) so could the likes of Dunlop get back to former glories in the future?ĭunlop is better quality than Wilson (non-staff) and all the other department store brands. It seems, with the adjustable DP1 range (driver under £120) they are finally getting with the program and getting close to Benross and MD Golf in the mid range catagory.ĭunlop is succesfull in the likes of Tennis, Squash and Badminton, as well as Motorsports with their tyres so its good to see them getting back into golf. Most of my golf clothing is Dunlop (their Windstopper is excellent and at £14.99 a steal) and i have to admit that in the winter i use orange DDH balls and may buy the 3 piece DP1 for the summer, I never got on with fairways but this is just a joy to hit, long straight, everything you could want. It looks good and for the high/mid handicapper its excellent. Gone are the Rapport shafts, replaced with Grafalloy and, for this season a choice of Adila as well as Lamkin grips. Here is the thing though.I recently wanted to try a 5w and having seen good reviews i got a 2013 model Dunlop NZ9 in the sale for under £30 and i have to say it's superb. Yes they still make some appaling budget clubs, for example i have a driving iron with a "Pro Flex" Rapport shaft and its rubbish. They are the Skoda of golf, the butt of jokes, "why do skodas have heated rear windows?" "to keep your hands warm while pushing them!.etc.īut like Skoda i think Dunlop are finally getting it. A company known to make some pretty rubbish stuff. For anyone who is easily offended cover your eyes and ears because im going to say a very naughty word.
