BONITA, CA – Rave reviews continue to flow in for Knuth Golf’s award-winning High Heat metal woods after the company expanded its line with another launch at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando in late January.
The latest review is by veteran award-winning golf writer Gary Van Sickle and appeared in Golf Oklahoma magazine, titled “Easy to launch and longer, straighter and more forgiving than major brands.”
“When you make decent contact with the High Heat, the ball jumps off the face so easily, you almost don’t even feel it, which reminds of how it felt when I hit the occasional home run a million years ago, when I played baseball,” wrote Van Sickle.
“The High Heat 3-wood has a long, low profile. It gives me the mental image of a rear fender from a 1958 Corvette. It is painted a glowing blue. I like the look, I love the result.”
The article highlighted the fact that High Heat clubs are designed for amateurs, who have different swing speeds and performance needs than Tour Pros. The clubs feature a deep and low center of gravity, which Van Sickle called a “potential game changer” and “advantage for amateurs compared to playing with major brands” in his review of the High Heat driver.
Van Sickle also pointed out one other major advantage for the High Heat 3-wood versus 3-woods from major brands – High Heat has a titanium face which produces a greater trampoline effect.
Knuth Golf is the only brand that offers titanium faces in its fairway woods and hybrids. This not only provides additional distance with the same effort, but it enables golfers to perform much better on off-center hits, providing precision needed for more greens in regulation and lower scores.
Club designer Dean Knuth told Van Sickle, “It’s a low profile but the face is titanium instead of steel offered by all major brands and on average eight millimeters wider than the major brands. Together, that gives amateur golfers a much larger sweet spot, so they can hit it almost anywhere along the face and get about the same distance.”
Other excerpts from Van Sickle’s story (which can be read in its entirety here):
“The High Heat 3-wood is as easy to hit high as a 5-wood but it has the power and length of a 2-wood (if you’re old enough to remember persimmon 2-woods, or brassies – I had one, a nice hand-me-down).”
“The High Heat 3-wood launched hot and high and long. ”
“Shots hit off High Heat’s toe or the heel will tend to come back toward the target line compared to major brands.”
“My High Heat 3-wood analysis in a nutshell: I’m a believer.”
The High Heat 3-Wood won the 2016 ING Industry Honors award for Product Ingenuity-Emerging Companies. A year earlier the High Heat Driver won the same award. It is the first time in the 24-year-history of the awards that the same company won that category in back-to-back years. The media-based International Network of Golf conducts the ING Industry Honors.
Another strong advocate of High Heat clubs from the media is Tony Leodora, award-winning host of The Traveling Golfer TV Show and Golf Talk Live radio show, which on four occasions has awarded High Heat its “Product Of The Month” designation.
“With its full line of fairway woods and hybrids with titanium faces, High Heat has solidified the brand as the leading company in properly addressing the hitting needs of the amateur golfer,” said Leodora.
This year’s additions to the High Heat line promise to elicit the same type of positive response. The complete High Heat fairway woods family will now be available in 3-wood, 5-wood and 7-wood models. Hybrid choices will be #3 (18 degrees), #4 (21 degrees), #5 (24 degrees), #6 (27 degrees) and #7 (30 degrees) models.

About Knuth Golf
Dean Knuth, a former USGA Senior Director, designed High Heat metalwoods specifically with amateurs in mind. Amateur golfers need clubs that use nearly 50 grams of discretionary weight to optimize their much different performance needs compared to Tour pros with 115+ mph swing speeds who consistently hit on or very near the center of the face. Knuth was awarded Golf Inc. magazine’s “Top Innovator” award for golf clubs in 2016.
Knuth Golf’s High Heat driver, fairway woods and hybrids have been named the “Best” in their class by several golf media, with the High Heat driver winning the ING “Conference Best Product” last May.
