There are some great new products and as always, ones that have no chance whatsoever. Here are some of the better products you’ll see in this year.

The Hot Launch line by Tour Edge is headlined by a technologically advanced adjustable driver that is also competitively priced. It features a 460cc titanium four-piece forged club head.  The driver’s deep face design and variable face thickness technology provide maximum power from more contact points on the face.  Loft options from 8.5 to 12.0 degrees in 1 degree increments provide easy-to-use adjustability in choosing the most efficient loft for optimal distance and accuracy.  The head shape is very efficient aerodynamically to promote optimal club head speed. A non-adjustable Draw version is also available, offset for proven slice-fighting control. Personally designed and hand crafted by president and founder David Glod  the  new Tour Edge Exotics Tour Series putters aim to deliver the ultimate in feel and touch and are entirely CNC milled from a solid block of carbon steel.  The milled X-grip face pattern provide extraordinary feel and control on the green and reduces skidding.  The responsive feel and feedback of the face design translates to incredible accuracy and touch.  In addition, each putter has a hand-rolled leading edge ensuring that each stroke glides smoothly through the ball, even in the longer grass on the fringe. Three designs two sophisticated finishes are available, a silver-bead or black PVD finish, all with Tour Edge’s lifetime warranty and a 30-day play guarantee. www.touredge.com

The Cure RXi putter features an adjustable weighting system that allows a far greater range of weight than any other putter on the market, allowing the golfer to find the perfect weight to suit their stroke and tempo. The Triangulation Alignment, invented by former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman helps line up a putt like an arrow for accuracy. With a higher center of gravity and lower loft, Cure putters get the ball rolling sooner, helping it stay on the intended line. The RXi has the look and feel of a traditional blade, while offering higher MOI (8,500 – 9,950) than any of the leading mallets on the market and is 100% milled from a solid block of   aircraft grade aluminum. In addition to being stable and forgiving, the RXi also has interchangeable face inserts. www.cureputters.com

Golf Pride’s MCC Plus4 grips are designed to have a larger lower hand that matches the feel of 4-layers of extra tape build up preferred by many Tour players.  The slightly less tapered shape is designed to encourage lighter grip pressure which can help increase swing power.  A proprietary new soft compound in the lower hand in combines with an upper half utilizing a new softer performance-rubber for stability and the Brushed Cotton Technology cord to ensure moisture management & maximum traction.  The combination of upper and lower technologies is engineered to enhance feel and performance for each hand. www.golfpride.com

GolfBuddy’s WT5 carries a design that is rugged and durable. It features new color schemes, including a white/orange model and a black/blue model.

The 2015 Bridgestone e-Series balls continue to deliver the exceptional flight performance golfers trust and expect and the introduction of Bridgestone’s WEB Dimple Technology brings added distance across the line. The proprietary design utilizes a cutting-edge “spidering” pattern that affords 10% more dimple-surface-coverage than the previous models. This pentagonal pattern combined with the aerodynamics of dual dimple design reduces drag, resulting in a more penetrating ball flight and greater distance. The e5 is a 2-piece urethane construction designed for golfers needing higher ball flight, more distance and greater control. The e6 is a soft multilayer ball designed to help players eliminate slices and hooks. The multilayer e7 model is for faster, longer, more penetrating shots, reducing the ballooning in windy conditions often encountered by golfers with a higher ball-flight.   www.bridgestonegolf.com

Designed and manufactured in Germany, Vice Golf produces a range of golf balls comparable to premium offerings on the market today. Where they differ is the delivery method. Orders are taken over the Internet and balls are shipped directly from the manufacturer to the user’s front door. By eliminating multiple middlemen, the company believes they are offering a comparable group of golf balls, but at a significantly reduced cost, with personalization options few other companies can offer. www.vicegolf.com

About six years ago, StrackaLine started developing yardage books and green reading charts for PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour players. Now they’re taking it to the club level, helping any golfer get a better read of the greens. Graphics are created by laser scanning each putting surface with advanced 3D modeling equipment, detailed to the millimeter for all elevation changes. Hydrology software designed for calculating the exact flow of water drainage is overlaid to show the true slopes and breaks of how a ball will roll. The iOS application renders each green as a graphic that allows you to zoom in for more detail on any part of the green with the exact slope percentage at every point. With most of the PGA Tour courses on the 2015 calendar already available for download, TV viewers can follow along with Tour pros and read their putts. www.strackaline.com

The ActivMotion Bar is hollow, with rolling steel weights inside that engage and ignite the core and critical muscles used during a golf swing. The momentum generated by moving weights forces the body to gently surpass its normal range of motion, lengthening and strengthening muscles to result in a fuller, more dynamic and powerful swing. The Full Length Series features five separate 5-foot long Bars in weights ranging from 6lbs to 18lbs. The Compact Series is 4 feet (4.5lb), ideal for carrying in a golf bag. The ActivMotion golf fitness DVD program was developed by Titleist Performance Institute certified golf professionals and top PGA professionals.  www.activmotionbar.com
