Uno2k woods
Within 60 days, the 21st Century will make its debut, with life immediately in the new millennium promising to be much different than during the 1990's. E-Commerce will become routine. Instant communication via your wristwatch will be "old hat" before you know it and the clock strikes 12. Travel in a spacecraft around the earth will be available to civilians in good enough health and with deep enough pockets ($100,000.00 per person). Along with all these innovated changes, it should come as no surprise to anyone, design itself will also wear a 21st century look, still to be defined and developed, but yet certainly to be excitingly different than it is today.

Designers of the Uno 2K golf clubs are certainly in the forefront in making a statement about what direction design itself will take at the start of the next millennium. Functionality of a club, of course, must be the first consideration of any club-maker. Does it perform well? Does it help produce longer drives? Does it allow the player to "work" the ball? Does it help remedy common swing problems like slicing without sacrificing distance and control by the golfer?

First about the design of the Uno2K by Fox Golf. For starters, how about it's unique tri-nodal shaft? You heard me: tri-nodal shaft. Designed to create the best trajectory, the three nodal shaft flexes are intended to control the kick point so that at just the right moment you have the opportunity for the most distance and for more control. The tri-nodal shaft is the first I've even seen, and it makes me wonder what's in store when it comes to shaft designs hereafter.

At first look, because of its deep shiny black color, the Uno 2K driver looks like a club that may have been used by Darth Vader had he ever put down his deadly laser sword. The three nodals on the shaft are certainly ominous, a prelude by appearance, at least, of further distance and more control. Fox Golf's team of scientist created this series of woods by integrating metal matrix materials with the new revolutionary tri-nodal shaft. Nothing like a quantum push of technology up to the next new level.

The Uno 2K woods use a highly sophisticated manufacturing process, which allows for the synthesizing of composite metallurgical materials. This metal matrix composite material cerates a playing surface which provides for an expanded sweet spot, a confident feel and increased durability. The air channel-designed sole plate provides the least amount of air resistance and provides the most efficient, free-flowing swing. The weighted fairway woods with channel ridges keep the center of gravity low in order to glide through any lie. To say that the Uno 2K series is trend setting seems an understatement, considering its homogeneous shaft and head design concept. The total club weight and high swing weight create the most effective energy transfer coefficient at the moment of impact. And you know what happens then.

The Uno 2K wood series is available as follows: #1 Driver, 7 and 9 and 10.5 lofts; #3, #5, #7 woods, with all flexes. Shaft options include Fox FW-Trinodel graphite. Price on these woods is $279.00 suggested retail for the driver, $229.00 for the other woods.

Fox also makes a Pro Line of irons, 3-PW, with 1, 2, SW and LW also being available. The price for the irons with Dynamic Gold Sensicore shaft is $429.00. Fox also makes junior clubs, putters, and accessories such as staff and stand golf bags. Fox Golf is a division of Pro Sports U.S.A.

I think you'll agree that starting with the looks of the Uno 2K clubs and ending with their performance, the 21st Century got a head start in the golf industry thanks to these new revolutionary clubs by Fox Golf.

Wedge review from Golfclubreview.com:

Fox M2 Dual Weight System
56 degrees, Dynamic Gold Sensicore - steelLength: 35 3/4", Swingweight: D6.5, Total Weight: 444 grams
The response of our testers has been exceedingly positive to this handsome little wedge. All agree that the club is an absolute delight - easy, accurate and sweet. In fact, it has turned in some of the best accuracy ratings of any wedge we've ever tested. The high-toe head with contrasting score lines provides exceptional alignment ease. All have been dead on with this wedge. The muscle-back/cavity-back has a partially notched sole. This moves the weight up directly behind the impact point giving it a solid feel at impact. Short, easy pitches to target greens have been dead accurate and have had a desirable tendency to land softly and die quickly. It continues to be a favorite in competitive shootouts. Designed to compliment the Fox M2 line of irons, this wedge has proven to be versatile as well. From the sand to the heavy rough, the M2 has performed well. From the short stuff it is as easy as pie.

Uno2k Fairway Wood review from Golfclubreview.com:

3, 5 & 7, filament wound graphite, regular 5 wood = Length 42 1/8, Swingweight E0, Overall 316gr
Out of Salt Lake City, the Fox Uno's are classy, expensive looking clubs. Leather grips, triple bulge, FW Trinodal shafts, head designs, hosels and idiosyncratic sound - everything about these woods is distinctive and original. Appearance is very similar to the new Ping i3 and iSI woods, but the Fox woods were out well in advance of the Pings. The heads are even "pre-set" slightly in front of the hosel as is the case with the Pings.
The matrix-metal heads provide a high-pitched, pleasing, metallic sound at impact, not quite as exhilarating as the Pings, but very close in its nature. They have drawn some interesting and positive reactions from our testers. Though they look like "designer clubs", they do work well.
Opinions are still undecided about the FW Trinodal (3 hump) shafts. (The FW stands for filament wound)The feel and performance seems to be there, but the shafts look a bit fragile to most. These are easy to hit and effective from the tee. The swingweights are extremely high and may take a bit of getting used to for some. More than one tester has rated them among their favorite woods, however. More to come.

Uno2k Driver review from Golfclubreview.com:

Driver, 9 degrees, Microfibre FW TriNodal graphite, regular Length 45 3/4", Swingweight E 1.5,Overall Weight 303gr

Everything about the Fox Uno 2K driver is unique to Fox. The head, which looks a great deal like a Ping TiSI head actually predates the Ping. The shaft is a proprietary design of Microfibre, a sister-company to Fox. It consists of a filament wound, charcoal-colored graphite shaft that swells to three 'nodes' at various stages along the shaft. The grip is a beautiful brown, natural leather. The giant head is 'pre-set' - the face is in front of the shaft. The ferrule is like two, little donuts sitting at the base of the shaft. The head is made from a hard, metal-matrix composite again unique to Fox. The face is asymmetrical in shape being larger in the toe area than the heel. The sound made is a high pitched 'ting' similar to the Ping TiSI - too metallic for some - very pleasant to others.

The review process for this driver, and the matching woods, has dragged on a long time. Why? Because wereally are not sure what to think about them. We have had extremely good results from numerous testing sessions with the Fox driver over an extended period of time. In several comparative sessions it actually has lead all competitors in distance and accuracy. The abnormally high swingweight and the overlength, lightweight shaft create good, solid contact on a consistent basis. Distances have been good and trajectories have been ideal. The shots are long and gracefully arched, carrying well at a moderate height. Unlike most drivers, however, it works well as an easy, safe driver and as a crank-it-back-and-slam-it driver. It does, however, take a while for most to believe that the shaft won't snap off if it's slammed hard. We've gotten some very big hits out of the Fox, but generally speaking, the Fox does not inspire a golfer to go for the gusto. It is not an aggressive feeling club. It inspires restraint, not bravado.

The corrective properties of the head design are excellent. Mishits flew much straighter than average. The Uno 2K has a good habit of keeping the ball in the fairway. One testing round on a tight mountain course with the Fox yielded a 100% accuracy rate for fairways hit all with respectable yardages. Controlled fades have been easier than long draws. Shots can be worked in either direction, but there is a substantial amount of corrective bulge and roll on this large, preset face. It takes some time to get used to aligning the face in any direction other than straight. Everyone has made the driver work well for them and have found the distinctive feel, sound and look to be very interesting. It looks like a "designer club", but performs up to very high standards.Our testers all like it, but only moderate interest has been shown in making it a regular addition to anyone's bag. We are not sure why that is the case.

The Fox has its own mystique, but it is apparently just too different for some to accept. It just doesn't seem to fit anyone's image of what a club should be. The numerous design innovations all come together to work well. Perhaps, there are just too many of them in one place at the same time for most minds to accept. Of the three testers who have hit the Fox very, very well, one thought the head too large and the ferrule too peculiar. One did not like the leather grip and rubber grip collar and another was distracted by the narrow, undulated shaft design. What one golfer likes, another dislikes. We would not recommend that the manufacturer make any changes to the club - it works exceedingly well as it is. We just still don't quite know what to make of it. Success with most drivers comes and goes with individual hitters - they switch clubs often.

The Fox seems to be unwavering in its ability to remain consistent in testing session after testing session. We suspect that in time, a number of testers will want to play the Fox regularly - its testing record is just too excellent to ignore. Doubtless, this club is perfect for numerous golfers, but you will just have to test this one out yourself to see if you are one of them. If you value innovation and originality in golf clubs, this just mightbe the ticket for you. It certainly does all you could ask of a driver. Thanks to a 30-day trial period offered by Fox testing the club is a real possibility

M2 Irons review from Golfclubreview.com:

Tested: True Temper Dynamic Gold Sensicore steel, regular flex 5-iron length 38", Swingweight C8, Overall weight 413gr

The Fox Uno M2 irons are a handsome and classy-looking set of irons. They present a unique and distinctive appearance that all here have found pleasing. As the manufacturer states: "The M2 Dual Weight System Irons provide the best of contemporary and classic iron design combining perimeter weighted irons and traditional muscle back blades." What results is a refined and passive-looking set of irons that speaks of control and ease - not a macho set in any sense of the word. The Dynamic Gold Sensicore steel, the 431 stainless steel and a low swingweight combine to make this an extremely easy, pleasant iron to hit. The unique cavity design, traditional lofts and excellent alignment graphics also make this one of the most accurate irons we have hit to date. They are a favorite here at GCR.

Modern manufacturers have found that the average, male buyer of golf clubs will, if given the opportunity to test hit a set of irons, most often go with the set that gives him maximum distance as compared to maximum accuracy. Most manufacturers have upped their shaft lengths and reduced their head lofts to generate more distance with each iron. This obsession with distance is one of the primary reasons why golf scores have failed to improve noticeably in the last thirty years in spite of all of the improvements in clubs, balls and courses. It is also why so few golfers have any real justification for carrying a 2 or 3 iron; why some manufacturers now sell sets of 4-PW and should soon be making that 4-GW.

It must be stated that the Fox M2s are set at traditional lofts - an 8-iron hits like an 8-iron, not a 6 or a 7. Players who want to brag about how far they can hit their 8-iron should look elsewhere. Players who want to nail small greens on a tight course with a 3-iron should read on. The standard shot trajectory patterns are high and lofted - no screamers. Fox informs us that a stronger-lofted version will be available in the future for those intent on keeping up, distance-wise, with their buddies.

The head design of the M2's is a sound one. It was created by Dr. Ming T. Chen, the proprietor of this Salt Lake City company. The rounded weight bulge is set at impact point within the deep cavity giving the design some of the benefits of both cavity and muscle back irons. The toplines are relatively thin and the look at address is comfortable and easy to align. As a point of common reference, side by side comparisons with the newer Ping i3 OS reveal both irons to be nearly identical in head height, blade length, toe height, moderate, constant offset and general set-up at address. The apparent visible differences being the added loft and extra, lower toe weighting of the Fox's.

Our testing results with the M2's have been very positive. Results of their, on-course exams - on one of our toughest, tightest area courses - were exceptionally fine as well. The irons were dead accurate. In fact, they turned in one of the best test reports concerning accuracy and control for new irons that we have ever received. To date, all of our testers have found the Fox M2's to be very appealing and attractive - an easy, accurate set of irons. Control and workability are first rate.

The feel, considering the Sensicore inserts, is not dull or muted as might be expected. If you hit a 3-iron thin, you'll feel it. Feedback is respectable. Forgiveability of the head design is apparent at all times. The weighting pattern is a good one. Quality and consistency throughout the set were first rate as well, especially considering the low price. The matching sand wedge has been hit by five testers and each was thrilled by its easy precision. The shots were soft, short and gentle, making it an ideal third wedge for those not comfortable with lob wedges. It has arguably achieved the most accurate patterns (from the turf) of any sand wedge tested to date. From the sand and heavy rough, it is competent as well.

This wedge was designed to match the M2 set, but has proven to be a good, versatile, little wedge on it own. we strongly recommend that any golfer seeking more control in his iron game check out the Fox M2's. We also strongly recommend that those power players who need higher, softer shot patterns try them also. Do not be mislead by the low price; this is a quality set of irons. The addition of a stronger-lofted version of the M2's should make them appealing to an even wider spectrum of male golfers. Of course, with stronger lofts you won't have 3-wood you can easily hit and stick a green with.
