Bridgestone “True Balance” putters

Bridgestone is releasing a line of True Balance putters, which are “counter” counter-balanced putters, if you will. Instead of having additional weight located in the shaft and grip-section of the putters, the True Balance putters have lighter shafts and grips that the company says adds more feel to the putter head during the stroke, allowing it to square up more easily at impact.

The True Balance Putters ($199) have 360-gram heads made from 304 SS with dual-layered polymer inserts. Their graphite shafts weigh only 35 grams, and their EVA rubber grips are even lighter: 20 grams. And yes, the putter heads are so much heavier than the shaft and the grip that the putters can stand on their own.

Steel-shafted versions of the putters ($149) are also available, including the TD-02, a double-bend mallet version. They’ll be available in March.

Callaway X2 Hot “5Deep”

Callaway’s “Deep” fairway woods made news in 2013, when Phil Mickelson used the company’s “3Deep” fairway wood as his driver in route to a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open and back-to-back wins at the Scottish Open and Open Championship.

Callaway’s new X2 Hot 5Deep is the next logical step in the deep fairway wood progression. The deep-faced 5 woods target golfers who have downward angle of attacks or tend to contact their fairway woods on the upper part of the face. The 5Deep will give those players more consistent ball speeds because of their larger faces, regulating carry distances

The 5Deep, a refreshed 3Deep and a new 2Deep will be available later this spring for $239 with a “real-deal” version of Aldila’s Tour Green shaft.

Golf Pride CP2 Wrap and CP2 Pro Golf Grips

Golf Pride’s new CP2 Wrap and CP2 Pro grips are the softest performance grips in Golf Pride history. The CP2 Wrap (pictured above in blue) is for golfers who look for a soft feel with the classic wrap-around design. The CP2 Pro (pictured above in red) offers a more parallel design and flatter grip textures. The inner core stabilizer, which measures 2.5 inches in length, is much firmer than the rest of the grip works to stabilize the grip during the downswing. The CP2 Wrap and CP2 Pro will be available in March for $6.99 per club for standard size, $7.49 for midsize and $7.99 for jumbo.

Ping nFlight

The Ping nFlight Motion fitting process utilizes an attachment that clips onto any golf shaft, which sends information from the swing to an app on the iPhone or iPod touch through Bluetooth. The nFlight software models and digitally analyzes each swing and measures swing speed, path and angle of attack to fit the golfer into a combination of the proper shaft, loft and Ping club head. Only three swings per club are necessary to acquire enough information to fit the golfer properly, and the app provides additional shaft recommendations based on the fitting. Ping also offers an nFlight Mobile that works through an iPad.

UST Mamiya Elements Chrome Graphite Shafts

The UST Mamiya Elements Chrome shaft relies on a stiffer mid-flex and torque-specific weights that were previously utilized in the ProForce VTS models of recent years. The butt section of the shaft also has a larger diameter with a softer hoop strength that improves energy transfer and stability throughout the swing.

The mid-launch shaft is available for $285 in 12 different flex/weight combinations: 55 grams (A, R, S), 65 grams (R, S, X), 75 grams (S, X), 85 grams (S, X) and 95 grams (S, X).

Vokey SM5 Wedges

Vokey’s new SM5 wedges feature the third generation of the company’s grooves, which have a 7 percent larger groove volume than previous models.

The grooves are deeper and narrower on the 46-to-54 degree wedges to deliver better distance and trajectory control, reducing the chance of flyers from the rough. On the 56-to-62 degree SM5 wedges, the grooves are the same width as the previous generation, but they have a greater depth that adds roughly 400 rpm more spin on full shots from the rough.

The SM5 wedges are cast from 8620 carbon steel, and are available in lofts from 46 degrees to 62 degrees in two-degree increments. They come in six tour-inspired sole grinds (L, T, S, M, F and K), with each model sorted into low-, mid- and high-bounce categories. That creates a selection of 21 different loft, bounce and grind combinations.

The wedges are available in stores on March 14 in three different finishes — Tour Chrome, Gold Nickel and Raw Black — and will sell for $129. The Tour Chrome and Gold Nickel are plated finishes, while the Raw Black finish will rust over time.
