The Hottest Putter in Golf - The Spider
February 29
This putter is turning heads, making putts and just went into David Tom΄s bag in addition to the other 15 players with the Spider as their putter of choice. Available in March at $250.00 TaylorMade engineers focused on giving the Monza Spider increased stability and forgiveness because poor impact quality is so frequently the cause of poor putting among all levels of golfers. Even tour professionals frequently miss putts because they fail to hit the ball with the center of the clubface. With most putters, when impact is made toward the toe or heel, the head twists and the ball rolls off-line and finishes short of the target. Off-center hits also impart different types of spin compared to center-hits, contributing to inconsistent distance and direction. To increase Monza Spider΄s forgiveness, TaylorMade engineers had to increase its moment of inertia (MOI). They found three key ways to accomplish that: A steel wire-frame head construction similar to that used in the Monza Corza™, which allows them to position increased weight at the perimeter, adding stability on mis-hits that helps the putterhead resist twisting when impact is made toward the heel or toe. A light and strong aluminum core that allows more weight to be positioned on the perimeter, increasing MOI. Monza Spider΄s "wings," into which Movable Weight Technology™ (MWT®) cartridges are inserted, allow substantial weight to be concentrated in areas far from the face, helping to move the center of gravity (CG) rearward, which increases MOI and stability. Of course, another benefit of the Monza Spider΄s MWT is that it also gives players the option to customize its feel by changing the weights to make the putterhead heavier or lighter and/or to change the putter΄s balance. Dynamic testing of the Monza Spider΄s performance on mis-hits indicates that, compared to mis-hit performance of competitive high-MOI putters, Monza Spider delivers dramatically better results when impact is made away from the center of the clubface toward the heel or toe. Specifically, Monza Spider΄s high MOI helps it to deliver extremely consistent distance results on off-center hits, so that instead of coming up short, oftentimes the ball reaches the hole.

adidas Tour 360LTD
February 29
This is a simply amazing, comfortable and stylish golf shoe. The TOUR360 LTD, which melds advanced technologies with luxurious materials to create an entirely new category of golf shoe. Key to what separates it from competitive footwear is THiN-tech, a revolutionary new low-profile shoe construction that brings the golfer closer to the turf for improved feedback, feel and stability to promote better ball-striking. Helping to set the new TOUR360 LTD apart from all other golf footwear is that it combines advanced performance technologies with the kind of premium materials and craftsmanship you΄d expect to find in top-shelf men΄s footwear. The TOUR360 LTD also offers the stabilizing benefits that athletes expect from adidas Golf΄s proprietary 360WRAP support system, a visible technology that encircles the foot to deliver a customized fit while increasing stability and leverage. Additional features include the POWERBAND CHASSIS with 10-cleat configuration for enhanced grip, 3D FIT FOAM™ sock liner for added support and comfort. adidas Golf Tour Staff professionals will begin wearing the TOUR360 LTD in competition on the PGA Tour at the Northern Trust Open. Availability at retail has already begun at a manufacturer΄s suggested retail price of $250. They are also available at shopadidasgolf.com. Currently offered in three colors: mustang brown, black and running white/black; and in two widths, medium and wide.

Ahead Introduces the X-Cap
February 29
X-CAP™ The X-CAP™ solves the common problem of what to do with your sunglasses when you are ready to hit a shot or putt. Until now, golfers had to put their glasses on top of their cap, tuck them in their shirt pocket or set them on the ground prior to hitting the shot. The X-Cap is a unique way for golfers to protect their glasses shot after shot. The X-CAP has a patented retractor cord discretely built into the band of the hat, which secures the sunglasses to the cap. Whether the golfer prefers to put them on top of the brim or on the back, the glasses are safe and secure. The retractable cord simply pulls out of the back of the cap and attaches the glasses by using a universal eyeglass attachment with two small loops. Once secure, the golfer can swing away with no worries. "The reaction from retailers during the recent PGA Merchandise Show was exceptional," stated Ken Shwartz, CEO, AHEAD. "Others have designed sunglass headwear, but this is the best solution on the market." The X-CAP is available in two styles; classic fit with a choice of structured or unstructured or AHEAD’s popular extreme unstructured fit. The classic fit comes in four colors: black, deep red, white and white/navy and the extreme is available in navy, gold or bone. Both have a suggested retail of $25. A video showing product features and benefit of the X-CAP is available at

Having problems with your swing? - Fix your slice! by Johnny Miller

I recently was examining swing sequences of some of the greatest players in history. Knowing that some of these players favored a draw as their standard shot while others preferred a fade, I sought to identify swing features within each group that would explain their respective ball-flight tendencies. Something profound emerged that I think will benefit all golfers, especially those cursed with a wicked slice.

What I found was this: Virtually every accomplished fader of the ball--from Jack Nicklaus to Tiger Woods--displayed a straight left arm at the top of the backswing. Conversely, those who preferred a draw--players like Arnold Palmer and Bobby Jones--maintained a slight bend at the elbow.

This discovery is great news for most slicers, as they tend to do by accident what intentional faders do on purpose. In this article I'll explain why the dynamic works, and how a simple swing change will make a powerful draw your standard shot.
