Latest
2006-2007 Golf Equipment And Merchandise
In Las Vegas the kickoff to the 2007 golf equipment
season is here. It’s time when we start to
figure out what we’ll be using in the upcoming
year. Some of the major companies have already released
some of thier latest merchandise. Other companies are
just giving us hints as to what’s up next and a
few are keeping this new equipment under the radar.
It is very hard to keep some of the 2007 golf equipment
off the shelves until 2007, and that is why we will
try to keep posts on what is being released early for
the holidays. Use the latest equipment on a Florida
golf course, before your partners even read or research
this new golf equipment. This is what we know so far.

News at the Callaway camp is about a square
driver. The idea of a square driver sounded like
the beginning of an off the wall info-mercial,
but could be hitting for distance next year. The
name FT-5 has been used more than once,
but that could be just a code name. Pictures of
an “X” hybrid are being released,and
could quite possibly replace the hybrid Heavenwood.
If an X-20 iron hits the streets, you heard about
it here first. There are rumors of the X Tour
iron going through some design changes.

TaylorMade
has already released the R7 Draw driver and most
likely will continue the R7 Draw line in 2007. The
R7 Draw has only one weighted screw for bending
it like Mickelson on the last hole of the US Open.
"Say Goodbye To The Right Side Of The Golf
Course" . Be on the lookout for the R7
Draw irons, fairway woods and hybrids before the
end of 2006. Some new irons are in the works for
2007, TaylorMade is looking at the assigned names
of R7 TP and R7 Forged.

Schwetty
Balls have a funny name, but the owners take the
matter of making golf balls very seriously. From
proven dimple patterns, thier templates are computer
designed in 3-D modeling. The dimple patterns on
Schwetty Balls are designed with varying sized radius
dimples. The smaller radius dimples provide maximum
distance, while the slightly larger radius dimples
offer shot-saving accuracy. At the PGA Fall Expo,
Schwetty Balls won 1 0f 3 "Best New Product"
awards, which was announced at the industry-packed
reception held at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues.

The Golf
Kart Kaddy acts like a stand bag on the back of
a golf cart. Being angled allows the golf clubs
to be removed and replaced with ease. When the golf
clubs are on a angle that allow the golf clubs to
remain organized. With the bag leaning out from
the cart you do not have to remove the golf bag
to get to your bag pockets. It will allow you access
to all your pockets. (A BIG PLUS FOR STAFF BAGS
AND CART BAGS) Better access to golf balls, golf
gloves, golf tees. No more having to stretch overhead
to remove/replace golf clubs. At the PGA Fall Expo,
Golf Kart Kaddy won1 0f 3 "Best New Product"
awards,which was announced at the industry-packed
reception held at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues.

Have you heard about the SUMO? If not
you will be seeing it quite a bit on the course
in 2007. The SUMO is Nike Golf's newest driver
and it should be hiting the golf shops in February
07. The SUMO will acompany the new SQ fairway
wood and maybe, I say maybe the new CCI irons.
The cast CCI irons will be out in November 2006
while the forged CCIs will come out in February
2007. Nike has released the Unitized putters
"to make into a single unit", and the
Ignite putters will be out in Oct.2006. Nike Golf
is preparing to launch the new Juice golf ball
in November, which is geared for recreational
golfers who need help hitting long.
