PXG Lightning metalwood family from £269 to £569

Fresh off the success of its Black Ops family of drivers, fairway woods and hybrids, it seems a new kind of storm is coming from PXG. While I can only presume the next collection of clubs will be called Thunder (because what follows lightning?), the Lightning family is built on a foundation of speed with PXG's full fitting armoury at the golfer's disposal.

In late December, the great Tiger Woods turned 50 years old. I'd urge you all to read the feature on page 32 counting down some of his greatest moments, but given I've known Tiger for 30 years or so, I thought I'd talk about his impact on the game and a couple of interactions I've had with him over the years.

INSTRUCTION

How do I hit a draw with a driver?

You need to understand three important factors that affect shot shape. The white alignment stick pointing straight down the fairway is my ball-to-target line, which is where you would aim off the tee.

1 mins

Is there a good way to control distance on long putts from the fringe?

For this type of fringe putt, you really need to determine the high side and the low side of the putt, then walk to the low side and create an equidistant triangle that covers your ball, the hole and your current position.

1 mins

What's the best way to maximise my distance when driving downwind?

It's all about launch, so you've got to tee the ball high, push it further forward in your stance and get more of a tilt in your shoulders at address.

SCOTTY CAMERON PHANTOM 11R OC PUTTER £499

This is Scotty Cameron's first low-torque offering along with the Studio Style Fastback OC option. The Phantom 11R OC putter blends the stability of a low-torque design with the responsive, chain-link face-milling that has proved so popular. So, if you're looking for stability without sacrificing feel, this might be the putter you've been waiting for. At address, the Phantom 11R OC is a sleek, high-MOI mallet that boasts an exceptionally clean aesthetic. The single, short sightline offers good alignment, and helped match the putter face up square to my target, especially when using a line on the ball.

PACKAGE SETS

Why would you buy a package set as opposed to selecting different irons, woods, wedges and a putter? Primarily, convenience - it can save you hunting around and doing lots of research for all the clubs you need. For a lot of golfers, especially those who don't play very often, it's a more appealing option. Although we always recommend going down the custom-fitting route, the fact is, this isn't for everyone.

Basingstoke

With its roots dating back to 1907 and a rudimentary nine-hole course close to what is now the town centre, Basingstoke Golf Club has enjoyed a long evolution before settling in to its exciting new home less than two years ago. It is now situated on a gently undulating and perhaps surprisingly peaceful parcel of downland just south of the M3 in Hampshire. And while the club's new course is just a well-struck drive from its previous 15th green, in
