Merchandise Monday: New in Golf – Part 2

Check out Part I of our New in Golf article here.

Nike® VRS Covert

Fairway Wood

The Nike® VR_S Covert 2.0 fairway wood features an enhanced cavity back design with a lower center of gravity, delivering a higher launch angle and reduced spin rate for greater distance with every shot. With all-new Fly-Brace technology, the rear portion of the club is reinforced so more energy is transferred to the face at impact. And the weight of the club is redistributed from the center toward the heel and toe for increased stability.

Hybrid

The hybrid improves on its predecessor with a reengineered High Speed Cavity Back design for increased distance and more stability. With all-new Fly-Brace technology, the rear portion of the club is reinforced so that more energy is transferred to the face at impact, resulting in longer and straighter shots. The redesigned NexCOR face incorporates variable face thickness for a faster, hotter face and more ball speed.

VR X3X Wedge Dual Wide Grind

The wedge features new, improved X3X grooves that offer a stronger, more aggressive edge and deeper channels for ultimate stopping power and distance control. An extremely wide sole near the toe and a very narrow sole at the heel allow you to easily get the ball up out of the bunker and rough. Dual sole designs enable you to open the face and maintain a low-leading edge for visual confidence and an all-satin chrome finish.

TaylorMade® JetSpeed

Driver

The JetSpeed is the first driver with a Speed Pocket, which promotes more distance on hits low on the face. Low-and-forward CG promotes faster ball speed and lower spin-rate for more distance. A shallow profile allows ultra-low CG to deliver more distance. Additionally, a 12-position loft sleeve allows for full adjustability, a streamlined head shape delivers optimal aerodynamics and a matte black crown reduces glare.

Fairway

This is TaylorMade’s longest and most playable fairway wood ever. A new and more efficient Speed Pocket design promotes fast ball speed for long distance. Low-and-forward CG promotes fast ball speed and low spin for optimal launch conditions. An ultra-high strength JetSteel face promotes fast ball speed for long distance, and a low-profile head design with shallow face promotes easy launch for outstanding playability.

Hybrid

The hybrid’s new and more efficient Speed Pocket design promotes fast ball speed for long distance. Low-and-forward CG promotes fast ball speed and low spin optimal launch conditions. An ultra-high strength JetSteel face promotes fast ball speed for long distance and a low-profile head design with shallow face promotes easy and high launch for great playability. The Matrix Velox T shaft-weight varies by flex to promote maximum feel.

Bet you can’t wait for the big thaw so you can try out some of these new clubs – or any other item in Hinda’s golf assortment – at your favorite course!

Merchandise Monday: New in Golf - Part I

While most of the country is buried under mountains of snow, the good news is that spring is a mere 31 days away, which means it’s not too soon to talk about what’s new in golf! Hinda has been busy buying the latest items and stocking up on old faves in time for your first outing of the season. As an added bonus, the selection we’re featuring today all appear on Golf Digest’s 2014 Hot List!

Callaway® Big Bertha

Alpha Driver

Everything Callaway has learned about adjustable drivers has led to this: introducing Big Bertha Alpha, the total performance package of distance and forgiveness. Bertha’s Hyper Speed Face is more robust than ever, increasing ball speeds across the face for longer drives more consistently. And, for the first time ever, players can adjust backspin independently of launch angle with Gravity Control Adjustability. 

Driver

So epically long, the Big Bertha driver deserves to carry one of the most legendary names in golf. It’s faster and more robust with Adjustable Perimeter Weighting for maximum distance more consistently. The Advanced Adjustable Hosel adjust loft in 1-degree increments (up to +2 or down -1) in Draw or Neutral to optimize launch, backspin and shot shape. It maximizes distance with more accuracy.

Fairway Wood

This is what you get when you use the same face technology in the hottest fairway woods in golf, and then add advanced adjustability. Bertha’s Hyper Speed Face is thinner, lighter and more robust to provide faster ball speeds across the face for more consistent distance and playability. Improved Internal Standing Wave precisely locates CG for a more consistent launch, spin and distance across the face.

Cobra® BiO CELL

Driver

The all-titanium BiO CELL driver is equipped with MyFly8™ and SmartPad technology that features eight adjustable loft settings, allowing you to tune the driver for maximum distance to match your swing. It also features new Crown CELL weighting and forged E9™ BiO CELL face technologies that reduce the weight in the crown and face to deliver a much larger sweet zone™.

Hybrid

Easily gap your long game to optimize your distance with BiO CELL MyFly8 technology. Forged thin, shallow, high-strength steel face inserts enable more face flex for faster ball speeds, longer distance and higher trajectory. New BiO Cells combine with E9 face technology to remove more weight from the face and crown to reposition it low and back, delivering the best combination of a super low CG and high MOI.

Irons

Long and mid irons feature heavy tungsten in the heel and toe for forgiveness while short irons feature tungsten centered behind the hitting area for added distance and control. The largest unsupported face of any Cobra iron creates more face flex at impact for increased ball speed and extreme distance. Bio Cell and E9 Face Technology™ create a low CG and high MOI.

Stay tuned later this week when we bring you the latest assortment of Nike® and TaylorMade®!
