Hit the Links With These Hot New Products
By Russell Wood
Nike VR Pro Combo Irons
Nike's latest set of Tour-level irons are a sight to see, and even better to use. Each club has its own unique set of features, from the pocket cavity found in the three and four irons, to the split cavity found in the five, six and seven irons, and finishing off with the blades in the eight and nine irons, plus the pitching wedge. Take your game up a notch.
Wilson's DI11 Irons
The best irons have a sweet spot the size of Rhode Island, and the 2011 Wilson Di11s don't disappoint. Their low center of gravity, torsional stability and ultra-wide sole make these some of the easiest and most forgiving irons you'll find on the market today, making you more confident on the green in the process.
Callaway Razr X Irons
Accuracy counts when you're trying to land on the green, and the Callaway RAZR X irons are 56 percent more accurate than the competition's, making them an excellent choice to have in your bag.
Taylormade R11™ And R11 TP Drivers
Go long with the new R11 and R11 TP drivers by TaylorMade. These integrate their Adjustable Sole Plate technology — a new feature that TaylorMade developed — as well as their Flight Control Technology and Movable Weight Technology, all in one sweet package. This gives you adjustability and precision, something that just isn't found on any old driver.
Adidas Tour360 ATV Footwear
When you hit the links, what's on your feet can make the difference between a good swing and a bad swing. That's why Adidas now offers the TOUR360 ATV — that stands for all-terrain versatility, something every good golfer wants when tackling various courses. These just aren't any old pair of cleats, however, because the TOUR360 ATV allows the front of the foot to twist with your swing, while still gripping the ground firm so you don't lose balance. But more importantly, these are comfortable shoes to wear — a big feature when you spend the days on the course.
Taylormade Ghost Spider Putter
It may look a bit different, but the TaylorMade Ghost Spider putter is the combination of two of the company's products. It sports the size, construction and high moment of inertia of the Monza Spider, as well as the white alignment benefits found on the Corza Ghost. The next time you hit the green, go big with the Ghost Spider Putter.
Titleist Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C Wedges
So what does the C-C stand for? That's "Condition of Competition," meaning that the Titleist Vokey Design Spin Milled C-C Wedges are designed for the professional golfer, and even conform to the USGA's regulations. Try these out to attain optimal spin after each swing.
Ping tour-s Rustique Wedges
Everyone wants accuracy out of their clubs, but how about added versatility? The Ping Tour-S Rustique wedges may look old-school, but the reshaped sole geometry allows you to customize your shot as you go. Plus, there's a special back weight tucked in there to provide added forgiveness for those unfortunate swings.
Cleveland CG16 Wedges
We all know the coolest things are made with lasers, and that includes the CG16 wedges which use a laser-milled surface to rough up the face. By making the surface consistent, the ball-to-face friction is optimized, providing extra spin and control in the process.
