Bobby Jones: Golf
built 636 days ago
Tour-proven technology, playability and forgiveness. Bobby Jones Players is the next generation of technology from an earlier Jesse Ortiz design that became the #1 fairway metal on Tour, from 1998 to 2001. Smaller in profile, but slightly deeper in face dimension, Players is designed with the look that Tour professionals prefer, while incorporating the critical weight distributions that enhance playability and forgiveness for mid- to high-handicap golfers. The clean, symmetrical shape of the heads, encourage easy alignment to the target, providing shot maneuverability that is uncommon in fairway metals. The sleek, tri-tiered power sole reduces drag in all turf conditions. The classically shaped, 440cc Players drivers feature two strategically positioned weight screws, of 2 (grams gold) and 12 (grams silver), that expand the Triangle of Stability, maximizing the accuracy-enhancing phenomenon known as the ?gear effect.? All Players clubs feature a deep, translucent ?forest green?

Bobby Jones was for a time referred to as "the Best Golfer in the World." He had a distinct style, a strength born out of suffering, and a passion for the game. His records have never been broken. And, whaddaya know—the guy playing him is Jim Caviezel, an actor who knows a thing or two about "passion."

If it is possible to hit one out of the park in a golf movie, Bobby Jones - “Stroke of Genius” does it with style. It is a wonderfully clean movie with only one glare - some bawdy language on the golf course. However even this is tolerable as the language is genuine for the characters (any one who has played golf will have heard it before) - “there are just some emotions that cannot be experienced with a golf club in your hand.” As the character of Bobby Jones matures, you see him leaving the things he did as a child (anger, handling frustration, swearing, etc.) but NEVER is the Lord’s name taken in vain.
