  • Srixon

A more robust rebound frame design with dual flex zones on the woods creates a seamless energy transfer from the clubface through the golf ball. Retails for US$249.99-$499.99. The latest additions to the superb collection are the black chrome limited editions of the highly acclaimed ZX5 Mk II and ZX7 Mk II Irons. The new rendition adds a modern, sleek aesthetic while maintaining the original design's power. Retails for: US$1,500

  • Cleveland Golf

  • PING

The renowned Ping enters 2024 with a superbly designed G430 Max 10K driver, Blueprint S, and T Irons. The large diver has been made to boost the MOI, while the clever design maintains the elegant look. The club has been made without the adjustable weighting to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. The two irons are just as impressive. The one-piece forging irons include Ping’s “precision pocket” technique. Thanks to this clever detail, the weight can be distributed around the head, increasing stability and improving your every shot. Retails for US$200-$600

  • Callaway Golf

Callaway has continued improving technology since they started using AI for their clubs. The latest addition is the world’s first AI smart face based on actual player data and micro-deflections on the face. This will turn every inch of the face into the sweet spot. They are expanding the renowned AI Smoke line this year with new drivers, irons, woods, and hybrids. The new clubs retain all the qualities that made them the favorites of professionals and enthusiasts, with an improved AI system sure to bring your game to a new level. Retails for US$140-$600

  • TaylorMade

The famous TaylorMade also enters 2024 with a new collection of drivers, irons, woods, and hybrids. With additional improvements to previous designs, the clubs focus on advancing the players' every shot. The new Qi10 line retains all aspects that made TaylorMade a favorite among golfers but improves them even further, making each hit go faster and further.

PRO GOLF BALLS

For 2024, Srixon introduces the new Q-Star Tour Balls. The supple inner core retains the soft feel of previous generations. Still, the outer core has been made firmer using a multi-layer construction to achieve a higher compression rating. The soft urethane cover enables a better grip upon contact, which, in combination with the Spin Skin Super-Polymer (SeRM), increases the friction and spin of the ball. 

The 338 Speed Dimple Design also cuts through the air with less resistance by reducing the drag coefficient and increasing the lift coefficient. Combining these features results in Srixon's best ball so far. 

With an optimized greenside spin control and consistent flight characteristics, this ball will make your every swing go over a greater distance at a higher speed. It is available in two colors (white and yellow), as well as the divided design of the ball. The latter is a two-toned design with three color combinations (blue-yellow, orange-yellow, and red-yellow), so you can see exactly how the ball is spinning. Retails for US$35 per dozen.

SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses can be a crucial part of some players’ games, like your golf clubs, gloves, and other essential golfing equipment. The right sunglasses for the golf course can help you locate your golf ball more easily on bright or overcast days, read putts via the color and contrast-enhancing lenses, and block sand or debris out of your eyes when the wind is in your face. Here are new offerings that come highly recommended:

  • OAKLEY Portal X Sunglasses

The Portal X model from Oakley is perfect for on-course and off-course use. Arguably, even more critical, the sunglasses’ design makes them comfortable for all-day wear. Oakley has released its own line of specialty lenses called “Prizm” and offers ten different versions that fine-tune the visual experience for users’ specific environments. Depending on your area of the world and your particular golf course conditions, Oakley offers a “Prizm Golf'' and a “Prizm Dark Golf” lens option to improve your ability to see slopes, find your golf ball, and shield your eyes from the sun's rays. Oakley says the Portal X style frames are made from “O Matter” material, providing durability and all-day comfort. The nose pads and ear socks contain “Unobtanium,” Oakley says, increasing grip when wet to keep your eyewear securely in place. When you perspire or get your shades wet, you can be sure the Oakley Portal X sunglasses will stay firmly in place, so you never have to fear slipping while you take your swings on the golf course.
