Properly people, one other week, one other avalanche of golf gear hitting the cabinets quicker than your tee shot finds the adjoining fairway. Let’s dive into what’s new, what’s noteworthy and what’s making me roll my eyes whereas my bank card weeps within the nook.
Tech and loosely associated equipment
Foresight × Vessel dropped a Premium Sling Bag designed particularly for GC Quad and Quad Max (additionally works with GC3). Now you may carry your $20,000 launch monitor in one thing that screams “I spent all my cash on golf tech however nonetheless had sufficient for this fancy-boy bag.” It’s the golf equal of placing gold rims on a Ferrari – pointless however rattling if it doesn’t make you’re feeling particular.
Arccos launched their annual distance insights report, offering additional proof that the one factor common golfers want lower than a rollback is a couple of extra three-putts. “Positive, let’s make the ball go shorter!” The USGA: Proudly fixing non-existent issues since 1894.
“Sport-changing” footwear
True Linkswear simply dropped their LUX² assortment which they declare was “formed by Tour perception, refined over years, examined, tweaked, and torn aside till excellent.” Humorous, that’s precisely how I’d describe my marriage after I defined how a lot these footwear value. I suppose the price is justified as a result of, hey, they “didn’t rush it”.
PAYNTR launched their Coach X 001 LE with a “full-grain leather-based higher.” Apparently, regular artificial supplies weren’t slicing it for these high-intensity wrist workouts wanted to textual content your buddy that you simply’ll be late on your tee time. Lastly! Cow-based expertise on your half-hearted pre-round stretching routine.
ECCO and Random Golf Membership collaborated on the Biom H5, a golf shoe “crafted for the wild.” As a result of your native muni with its half-dead grass, questionable cart paths and that one mysterious puddle that by no means dries up (even throughout drought situations) is principally the Serengeti. Nothing says “I’m prepared for journey” like paying $250 to wade by means of goose droppings in fashion.
NIKE’s Scottie Scheffler Footwear, surprisingly, aren’t terrible which, given NIKE’s latest golf footwear efforts, counts as breaking information. The bar was so low it was virtually a tripping hazard, however they cleared it! It’s like being excited that your toddler didn’t draw on the partitions immediately: the naked minimal turns into trigger for celebration.
Simply roll with it
Stewart Golf launched two new golf baggage – the NEXAS Hybrid and NERO 2 Cart bag. Each are “designed to work seamlessly with Stewart golf carts” which makes me marvel why they don’t simply throw in a bag free of charge once you purchase their $3,000-plus carts. It’s like promoting somebody a swimming pool after which charging further for the water.
Hip to be sq. (and never notably authentic)
PXG launched its second zero-torque putter. The strangest factor about it’s that it virtually seems regular. Virtually. Like when your bizarre uncle exhibits as much as Thanksgiving in a swimsuit as a substitute of his common tinfoil hat, however you notice the telltale shine of Reynolds Wrap peeking out from his socks.
Talking of acquainted putter applied sciences, Odyssey simply launched their Sq. 2 Sq. Max sequence. The idea feels unusually paying homage to one thing we’ve seen earlier than, though we will’t fairly put our finger on it. Should be a type of circumstances the place the trade collectively evolves in the identical route. Concurrently. Years aside.
You’ve obtained some balls
Callaway launched two limited-edition golf balls: the requisite major-themed Queen Metropolis Chrome Tour for the upcoming PGA Championship at Quail Hole and Supersoft Canada as a result of … why not, eh? Nothing justifies limited-edition golf balls like nationwide pleasure and a serious championship.
See ya later
That’s it for this week’s launch roundup. Bear in mind: Your gear isn’t the issue (it’s positively your swing) however that received’t cease any of us from shopping for extra gear. Till subsequent time, preserve your pockets open and your expectations unreasonably excessive.
