YOU DON’T HAVE TO CELEBRATE Chinese New Year to know this is the Year of the Big Dog. Never have so many manufacturers simultaneously come out with as many high-end, high-performance drivers. Titleist, Mizuno, Srixon, PXG, PING and standard bearers Callaway and TaylorMade all have products that require a long look. So do Wilson and Tour Edge.
It’s that time of year when equipment writers’ inboxes crash under the weight of press releases sent out by manufacturers eager to persuade consumers this new gear is the best they’ll ever play, and is the best each company has ever made. We pulled four worthy products from the pile to feature on this week’s equipment page: Vokey SM7 Slate Blue wedge, Adidas Tour360XT golf shoe, the Srixon Z-Forged iron & the XXIO Prime woods.
