The Scotty Cameron Studio Select was released earlier this year and is definitely one of the best putters on the market. Aside from its super clean look it sports an array of features, customization being one of the most notable.

The head is made from milled 303 Stainless Steel and has heel & toe circular sole weights that allow for multiple length options in each model. This new weighting system gives a golfer the ability to change the length of the putter without losing the feel required for that specific length.

According to Scotty Cameron, “Most putter heads are only weighted for 35-inch shafts and therefore, are much too light for shorter lengths, or too heavy for longer lengths.  Too often the same heads are placed in shafts of all lengths.  The result is the golfer having to hit at the ball instead of being able to stroke the ball, and that creates distance control problems.  The Studio Select putter line delivers a wide range of specifications and options, designed to accommodate a wider range of golfer requirements.”

As we posted earlier, TaylorMade will be following the weighted putter idea in the coming months with the Monza Spider, which features a similar heel & toe weighting system.

TaylorMade Rossa Monza Spider Putter

The TaylorMade Rossa Monza Spider Putter looks similar to some of the older Rossa mallet style putters, but has a few new interesting features.

The first thing we noticed was the use of removable weights in the rear wings of the head, which can be changed depending on the players preference. This seems to be one of the best and least gimmicky allocations of TaylorMade’s “Movable Weight Technology” since the design of a putter is almost completely preference based. Now golfers will be able to add or subtract weight to their putters, without the use of crappy lead tape.

The putter also has a steel wire-frame head construction with light aluminum core that pushes increased weight to the perimeter, boosting MOI to promote remarkably consistent distance on off-center hits. Lastly, it has an AGSI®+ Technology insert with 14 tightly positioned grooves which promote more efficient forward spin for a smoother roll.

The Spider has been seen on tour for a few months now and has already claimed a win by use of JB Holmes at the FBR Open.

All in all this putter looks extremely useful and will be quite the spectacle as it finds its way into more golf bags this year.

The Ping S57′s have received nothing but rave reviews from tour players and others that have had a chance to hit them. They’ve added a tungsten toe weight to contribute to a higher moment-of-inertia and dual stabilizing bars to provide an optimized center of gravity location. These new features, along with the new chrome finish, offer a similar ping blade feel and absolutely make for one awesome club.  All of these things help produce a solid feel while  maintaining the control you would expect to get from a blade design.

Even though Ping still uses cast irons instead of forged, the new S57′s are said to maintain a large amount of feel and softness. They also have a great color coordinated fitting system that cannot be overlooked when considering this set of clubs.

These Irons ship out sometime next month if ordered now on golf smith, and were just recently released.

Even though the Tour Burner TP was released earlier this year, it is still our favorite driver coming from Taylor Made recently. They seem to insist on flooding the market with “gimmicky” expensive drivers in order to create hype. However, we feel that this one has done a decent job at standing out.

The 450cc driver has a high launch angle and lower spin. It maintains a semi-clean look, only 3 changeable weights, and the TP logo that just seems to be synonymous with great golf clubs from Taylor Made.

Victory Red Nike Irons

The Nike Victory Red Irons are just one segment of an entire new collection set to start shipping on November 1st. They will also be releasing wedges, woods, and balls as well, but we felt as though the irons were the highlight of the line because of their look, and our positive experiences with other Nike irons in the past.

They will come in the three different sets listed above: Victory Red Forged TW Blade, Victory Red Forged Split Cavity Irons, and Victory Red Full Cavity Irons

The entire Victory Red line was obviously created with a large amount of Tiger inspiration, as most Nike Golf gear usually is; however, its funny to think about all the Pro’s on Tour that will see his initials every time they take a club out of their bags.

Update: The tour edition blades have been seen with player specific initials.

Adidas TOUR360 LTD

Adidas Tour 360 LTDThe TOUR360 LTD golf shoe, released in 2008, seems to be the best looking of the latest shoes coming from Adidas. They have a newly added construction feature called “THIN-Tech” that lowers the golfer to the ground, supposedly providing increased feedback and comfort.

Overall, its an awesome looking shoe that pretty closely resembles the original 360’s that everyone loved. Cant really say the same for the new Adidas 360 3.0’s.
