New Ping irons, Cobra x Chipotle, and more
New Ping irons, Cobra x Chipotle, and more This week's Get Equipped newsletter highlights new Ping i240 irons making their PGA Tour debut, Cobra collaborating with Chipotle, and more. Titleist brought its next generation of T-Series irons – the updated T100, T150, T250 and T350 irons, along with the T250•U and U•505 utility irons – to the Charles Schwab Challenge last week. Twenty players in the field added at least one of the new clubs to their bag, including Bud Cauley, who finished third (T250 3- and 4-irons), and Aldrich Potgieter, who finished T-6 (T250 2-iron; T100 4- and 5-irons). This week at the Memorial Tournament, Ping is bringing the new i240 iron and the iDi driving irons to the PGA Tour for the first time. We're still about two months away from the British Open at Royal Portrush, so if you thought the surge in demand for high-lofted fairway woods was going to kill off driving irons, think again. Brands are still making clubs for fast-swinging players who want a low-launching option off the tee that still allows them to shape the ball right or left. The best way to find the ideal clubs to bridge your fairway woods to your iron set is to work with a good custom fitter, but here are a few general concepts to keep in mind: Fairway woods : Even with the same loft, fairway woods, which typically have the widest sole and a center of gravity that is lower and farther back, are more forgiving, create the most distance and send the ball higher than hybrids or driving irons. : Even with the same loft, fairway woods, which typically have the widest sole and a center of gravity that is lower and farther back, are more forgiving, create the most distance and send the ball higher than hybrids or driving irons. Hybrids : The Swiss Army knife of golf equipment, hybrids are easier to hit than long irons, can be used off the tee and from the fairway, even around the green to hit awkward chip shots. They produce more height than irons but tend to fly lower than fairway woods. : The Swiss Army knife of golf equipment, hybrids are easier to hit than long irons, can be used off the tee and from the fairway, even around the green to hit awkward chip shots. They produce more height than irons but tend to fly lower than fairway woods. Driving irons: These clubs produce the lowest flight and are ideal for use in windy, firm conditions. The flat face of driving irons also makes it easier to hit a draw, fade or knock-down shot, and when fitted with a graphite shaft, modern driving irons produce surprisingly high ball speeds.

Bae grabs lead but Wang makes charge in Mexican heat
Jenny Bae grabbed a one-stroke lead at the Mexico Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, carding a second consecutive 69 to sit at six-under-par (138) after 36 holes at El Camaleon. The American's unflappable demeanor and sharp course management left her a stroke ahead of her compatriot Brianna Do and China's Miranda Wang, whose scintillating second-round 65 shook up the leaderboard at the $2.5 million LPGA event. The 23-year-old Bae, in her rookie season, leaned on a steely mindset to navigate the breezy, jungle-lined layout. "Today I had the same mindset as yesterday. Just keep calm and stay focused and try to stay in the present," she said. "It tells me I can still score despite what conditions I'm faced with. I feel pretty good heading into the weekend," she said after ending her round with a birdie on the 18th. The chasing pack includes China's Yan Jing, South Korea's Lee Jeong-eun, Jenny Shin, Choi Hye-jin, and Australia's Gabriela Ruffels, all at four-under (140). Mexico's Maria Fassi, at three-over (147), led the home contingent, cheered by a lively local crowd. Bae said she had been able to cope with the windy conditions that troubled some of her rivals. "I've gotten a good grasp of the wind. That's a really big advantage out here," she said. The stunning Riviera Maya backdrop also helped keep her spirit high. "I've never played on a golf course with such beautiful scenery. Even if I make a mistake, I look around and feel refreshed," she added. Wang was in sensational form delivering a bogey-free 7-under-par round of 65 but said it had been tough in the intense heat. "I was really drinking a lot of water, and my caddie did a good job just feeding me water all the time. I think that's the most important. "It's windy out there so there is some good breeze. Just enjoy the breeze and drink enough water," she said. sev/jgc
