TaylorMade Belly Putter

TaylorMade Golf have recently made a post on their Twitter page displaying a custom fitting tool for Belly putters.

Not sure if this is for tour use or will come into retail but it looks quite cool.

Cobra Golf Sign Ricky Fowler

Today COBRA Golf made it official, golfing sensation, Rickie Fowler, will join their worldwide roster of professional golfers. COBRA Golf will supply Rickie with the latest golf clubs as well as Tour Staff Bags and a selection of accessories. Rickie, who signed with PUMA Golf in 2009, will now represent the full COBRA PUMA GOLF brand both on and off the course. Rickie will also be featured in upcoming marketing campaigns for both COBRA and PUMA Golf.

“Rickie’s focus, determination and performance combined with his stand out style and joy for the game make him a perfect match for COBRA Golf,” said Bob Philion, President of COBRA PUMA GOLF. “He has had a tremendous effect in the golf industry over the past few years and his influence continues to grow. As we continue the revitalization of COBRA globally, Rickie Fowler will be instrumental in bringing our core DNA to life by being grounded in performance while bringing an edgy, unique personality and style to life. He will help us introduce the new COBRA Golf to a new group of consumers.”

I doubt he will use the Cobra Long Tom Driver but he could start using the Cobra ZL Encore driver (possibly orange!!!!)

Press Release Ross Fisher Joins Nike Golf

Ross Fisher Joins Nike Golf

-Four-time European Tour winner signs multi-year agreement-

 Nike Golf is proud to announce that Ross Fisher, a four-time winner on the European Tour, has joined the Nike Golf Tour Staff.

In switching to exclusively play and wear Nike Golf products, Fisher is making the first manufacturer change during his seven-year career as a tour professional.  The 31-year-old from West London, whose most recent victory was at the Irish Open in 2010, has signed a multi-year agreement to represent the Swoosh from head-to-toe.

Fisher said he was attracted to the energy and innovation that Nike Golf has been bringing to golf since it launched its first equipment line just over 10 years ago.  "Just looking at the history of Nike, it's all about innovative products that are designed specifically for athletes. Nike Golf is the same. At Nike, golfers are athletes," said Fisher.

Speaking about his plans for the 2012 season, Fisher said: “My first priority this year is to get back into the world’s top 50, and with the backing and support of my coaches and the team at Nike Golf, I am sure that it’s a realistic goal. Since the end of the season I’ve been working hard on all aspects of my game. I’m really bombing it with the VR Pro Limited Edition driver and I’m looking forward to putting all the new gear into play. At the moment we’re experiencing a golden period for European golf, particularly in Britain, and I just want to be back up there challenging for Majors and another Ryder Cup appearance.”

With four individual wins to his name, and team wins in the 2010 Ryder Cup and Seve Trophy, Fisher remains one of the most talented players of his generation.  Joining the European Tour in 2006, he has won four times in consecutive years from 2007, with victories at the KLM Open, the European Open in 2008, the Volvo World Match Play in 2009, and the 3 Irish Open in 2010, where he fired a second round 61 at Killarney.

A notoriously long and accurate ball striker, Fisher gained the honor of having the lowest cumulative score for the four major championships in 2009, when he finished fifth at The US Open.

"We are excited to welcome Ross into the Nike Golf Family," said Mark Thaxton, Global Director of Sports Marketing Operations for Nike Golf.  "We look forward to working with him to ensure he is equipped with the best equipment for his game. Ross is a great player, with an aggressive playing style and we are confident he will thrive in 2012."

Fisher’s first tournament as a Nike Golf athlete will be at the Abu Dhabi Championship, which takes place from January 26-29.

Coming Soon Garmin Approach G6 GPS

Garmin has announced the launch of the Garmin Approach G6 GPS golf device at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas.

The Garmin Approach G6 GPS is a slim device that weighs just over 85 grams and comes preloaded with over 25,000 courses from around the world.

It is also fitted with an internal rechargeable battery that promises up to 15 hours use off of one charge.

The Approach G6 also keeps track of a player's stats throughout their round by recording fairways hit, greens in regulation and putts per round. These stats can then be reviewed on the device or downloaded onto a computer.

Players will also be able to enable a feature allowing them to select a club and then calculate average distance yardages, particularly handy if you are tackling a new course and need to know which club to hit.

The 2012 Adidas Powerband 4.0

The Adidas Powerband 4.0 golf shoes provides enchanced leverage, stability and balance control.

The Powerband shoe has long be known for eliminating power leaks and allowing golfers to transfer all of their power through their swing. The Adidas Powerband 4.0 features the Powerband Chassis, that provides lateral stability for faster, more aggressive swings. The stability and durability of the shoe is improved thanks to Adidas' stretch resistant synthetic overlay.

Each Powerband 4.0 comes with Adidas Golf's FitFOAM insole. The low-profile insole features a TPU forefoot with THINTECH 8-spike configuration for improved traction, stability and ever-lasting cushioning. The upper of the shoe is full-grain leather with detailed synthetic overlays, and carries a ClimaProof 2 year waterproof warranty.

We look forward to getting these shoes into stock in the next month.

New Ping i20 Driver

The New Ping i20 Driver 

Distance in the Ping i20 driver is certainly generated by the aerodynamic, 460cc clubhead itself. But without doubt, this design will also bolster the golfers confidence and sense of power at address. The distinctive matt black, nonglare finish frees the player from distraction, allowing him or her to focus on launching dries father and straighter than ever.

These drivers will be available over the next month or two and look like being a solid addition to the Ping golf range which will also include a the Ping i20 irons

Cobra Golf Launches AMP Drivers

Cobra AMP Driver

COBRA is excited to announce the new Cobra AMP Driver featuring E9 Face Technology with dual roll and AMPTM Speed Tuning, delivering customized distance and accuracy to golfers around the world. The AMP Driver also brings color and attitude to the golf course with black PVD and vibrant orange details on the shaft, club head and grip.

The AMP Driver also features Adjustable Flight Technology (AFT), providing golfers with the option to set the face angle as Open, Neutral or Closed to optimize ball flight for better distance and accuracy. The Aldila RIP® Speed Tuned shafts have a progressive weight design and El flex profiles that customize performance for various swing speeds. AMP Speed Tuning works in conjunction with the shaft to optimize each loft differently to deliver the best performance for a given club head speed. The premium Lamkin® R.E.L. 3Gen® Grip is vibrant orange to match the cub head design, packing the AMP Driver with style, flair and technology to help improve a golfer’s game.

The AMP Driver is also available in an offset design to reduce the effects of a slice as well as provide improved distance and accuracy. The AMP Offset Driver squares the head more quickly through impact to reduce the effects of a slice. The unique crown alignment feature also helps golfers aim the driver on target.

E9 Face Technology with dual roll
COBRA’s E9 Face Technology with dual roll utilizes an elliptical shape face that gives the AMP Driver a 30% larger Sweet Zone, resulting in more distance, accuracy and forgiveness in shots hit from the low heel to high toe. COBRA tested golfers hitting more than 25,000 shots and discovered that the majority of golfers hit shots across the face in this canted, elliptical pattern. We redesigned our clubface to use this phenomenon to the golfers’ advantage. We’ve added a new canted bulge with dual roll to now provide added distance and accuracy to the shots hit above and below the centerline.
