The Golf Equipment Buyer’s Guide is the single most complete resource of equipment and product information for the golfer, retailer and advertiser. This annual equipment guide, from the editors of Golf Tips Magazine, features product analysis, prices, specs and professional buying tips for every category across the board. The GT equipment panel is made up of the industry’s top R&D experts who have identified most of the innovative and noteworthy products for the golf industry in 2008.
So what can you expect to take the golf industry by storm in 2008? At the top of the list this year are drivers with interchangeable shafts. The ability to try different shafts in the same driver head quickly and easily-previously only available to Tour players-is now a reality for the average golfer. Among the offerings are Nickent’s 4DX Evolver Driver IST (which stands for interchangeable shaft technology), TaylorMade’s r7 CGB MAX Limited and Callaway’s i-Mix-FTi. Also noteworthy for 2008 is TaylorMade’s LDP (Low Drag Performance) Golf Ball, which is designed to add distance on off-center hits.
Cleveland continues to raise the bar with their legendary wedge performance by coming out with a Gelback insert for enhanced feel and sound, as well as Zip Grooves to gain extra spin and control. Also worth a mention are the Bridgestone J36 irons, constructed with forged carbon steel with a traditional feel and smooth transition from the blade to a unique pocket cavity.
“Choosing the right golf equipment is critical if you want to play your best,” said senior editor, Ryan Noll. “It’s important to also know that no two pieces of equipment perform the same for all types of golfers. We all have different swings, strengths and weaknesses in our game. Choosing the right equipment starts with being as educated as possible before you make a purchase. And while trying every club before you buy isn’t always doable, our guidelines are a big help. Also, who out there covers equipment components such as shafts, grips, shoes and golf balls more than we do? Nobody! If it’s new and if it’s notable, we have it in here.”
