Advantages: Fantastic feel and a great roll
Disadvantages: None

...What makes any putter different from another? They are all used on the green to roll the ball into the hole aren't they? Well this range is a little different... The Taylor Made Nubbins range of putters is very distinctive in looks. They have an orange rubber insert covering the clubface (where you hit the ball) that has little 'nubs' protruding from it (a bit like lego!!). The idea behind this is that when the putter strikes the golf ball, the ball is gripped by the nubs which are incredibly soft, stays on the putter face for longer than a normal putter and then makes the ball roll much quicker after impact. This action reduces any skidding that may normally occur and promotes a great feel and roll on the green thus producing a good putt. Surprisingly the technology actually works!! These putters feel very soft and the roll... Read review

Advantages: Well crafted, unforgettable songs.
Disadvantages: Don't let your fashionable neighbour hear you listening to it!

...James Taylor started writing songs whilst at boarding school in New England during the early sixties, and even at such a tender age, his distinctive soft-toned North Carolina voice blended perfectly with a country inspired acoustic guitar technique. It was no surprise therefore, that on graduation, the young Taylor decided his future lay in a musical direction, and after spending a short and relatively unsuccessful stint with The Beatles’ Apple Records in London, he returned to the US and signed to Warner Brothers, launching a remarkable recording career that spanned from 1968 through to the present day. Taylor’s style of music is folk with a strong country influence, and although it’s never been a fashionable type of music to listen to (he probably stands alongside Mark Knopfler in the ‘Telented But Fashionably Clueless World...

Advantages: great vocals and songwriting
Disadvantages: a few weaker tracks in the middle, not released in the UK yet

...I first heard of Taylor Swift when I heard "Teardrops on My Guitar" on internet radio and promptly downloaded it. A few months later I heard "Our Song" and read an interview in a magazine as her debut album was to be reissued. Well, here it is, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. For those of you who are not familiar with her, Taylor is quickly making a big name for herself in the country music world - and she's only 18! After setting out to Nashville at the age of 13 from her home in Pennsylvania, she quickly snapped up a record contract and her debut single Tim McGraw was released in 2006, and to date all three of her singles have made not only the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot Country Songs (Our Song reaching number one), but also the Top 40 of the Billboard 100. This self-titled album, first released in 2006 and reissued in late... Read review

Advantages: Quality construction, great playability, reasonable price
Disadvantages: None

...The Taylor Guitar company touts its' Taylor 310 Dreadnought acoustic guitar as being the most affordable full size, solid wood guitar in the Taylor line. This instrument was constructed with the "no frills design" concept in mind--great sound, easy playability, and quality construction, for a reasonable price. After I "test drove" one of these guitars, I must say that the Taylor 310 Dreadnought acoustic guitar lives up to the hype. This guitar is a six-string acoustic guitar that is a member of the Taylor 300 Series. The back and sides are sepele mahogany, the top is sitka spruce, and the neck is mahogany, with an ebony fretboard complete with pearl dot inlays. The nut and saddle are made of tusq, and the headstock overlay is Indian rosewood. The soundhole rosette is made of plastic, and the binding on the body is black plastic... Read review

Advantages: Lyrically Perfect, a beautiful sound, leaves you wanting more
Disadvantages: none, except its too short!

...Jane Taylor *****We all Think that her songs are about us…!***** Jane Taylor writes the perfect song. I say this not from a lyrical or phonetically correct standpoint, but simply from the point that she achieves what all artists strive for. Audience connection. It's pretty much instant. She plays a song and every single member of the audience thinks she wrote it just for them. And when you look at the faces around you, you know they are thinking what you are thinking and I think that must be the ultimate buzz for Jane, to look out over her audience and see that. Pretty impressive, I say! I saw Jane Taylor play live for the first time is a very popular Arts Centre in Newcastle called The Cluny. It's a regular haunt of artists and musicians and generally pretty talented people, but I have to say it was the first time... Read review

Advantages: Hits the ball a VERY long way. Keeps the ball straight.
Disadvantages: Not a solitary thing.

...the golf club manufacturing company TaylorMade; the TaylorMade R540. I’ve owned this driver for just about a month now, purchasing it just before I went off on holiday to the South of France at the beginning of June, and I noticed a huge improvement in my driving from the very first time I hit a ball with it at my local driving range. On the golf course (where it really matters) my scores over the past month have been (on average) a massive 10 SHOTS better than my average for the rest of the year. ~ ~ So why is it that this driver from TaylorMade has effected such a dramatic transformation to my somewhat flagging golf game? Well, there really isn’t a single reason, but instead a combination of new and innovative design and manufacturing methods by TaylorMade to help give the golfer that slight “edge”. In fact, so much of an edge does... Read review

...I wish I was the proud possessor of a Taylor 810 guitar! The one I'm writing about belongs to a friend of mine, and he's very protective of it, will let very few people touch it (I appear to be one of the favoured few!) The guitar itself is made of Indian rosewood back and sides, with a Sitka spruce top, with distinctive Taylor ebony bridge and scratchplate. The neck is tropical American mahogany, the fingerboard is also ebony. The soundhole is decorated with Abalone,however this is not excessive. Machine heads are gold plated for a touch of luxury. As much care has been taken on the inside of this guitar as on the outside, and the finish is smooth, even on t
