PRO SHOP NEWS
I recently attended the PGA Merchandise
Show in Orlando, FL. The merchandise show is hosted by the PGA
of America and brings numerous golf vendors to the Orlando Convention
Center. The show allows PGA professionals to take a look at the
new and exciting trends in the golf industry. Once again the Pro
Shop will continue to carry products from the “Big 5”
manufacturers: Callaway, Taylor Made, Ping, Titleist and, Cobra.
Here’s brief overview of what they have to offer in 2010:
Callaway Golf is introducing 3 new drivers
to their line. They are the FT-iZ, FT Tour and the Diablo Edge.
The FT-iZ and the Diablo Edge series will consist of not only
drivers but fairway woods and hybrids as well. The X-22 iron is
continuing to hold strong and will be joined by the Diablo Edge
Iron.
Taylor Made is continuing the success
of their R9 series with the brand new R9 SuperTri. The R9 SuperTri
combines Movable Weight Technology with Flight Control Technology.
Its 460 cc head delivers massive distance and forgiveness. Taylor
Made is also introducing the Burner SuperFast which is sleeker
and more aerodynamic than past burners. The new Burner SuperFast
screams through the hitting zone to promote higher impact, more
club head speed and distance.
Titleist is continuing with their 909
series of drivers, fairway woods and hybrids. They have introduced
brand new AP1 and AP2’s that offer some slight improvements
to an already proven iron. Titleist’s biggest introduction
is their ball line-up. The Pro V1 and Pro V1x are staying the
same but the NXT, NXT Tour and DT Solo are all brand new. With
5 different options, Titleist has a ball for everyone.
Cobra has completely revamped their
line-up. They have introduced the S2 line of equipment. The S2
line will consist of drivers, fairway woods and irons. The product
looks great and I can’t wait to try it!
Ping introduced its G15 line in the
fall and has had great success so far. The G15 line consists of
drivers, fairway woods and hybrids.
Please take a look at your calendar
for the upcoming Demo Days this spring. I will once again continue
to carry the Titleist, Cobra and Ping fitting systems along with
a new fitting system from Callaway which will be available in
the spring.
On the apparel front we
will once again focus on Adidas, Ashworth, Fairway & Greene,
Polo Golf, Zero Restriction, Oxford Golf and Callaway golf apparel
for the men. For the women we will continue to provide Sport Haley,
EP Pro, Fairway & Greene and Zero Restriction. Products will
begin to arrive mid- March so stop on in and check out all the
new merchandise!
