Most now have a 7, but I'd like to also see 9 woods. I currently use a Cobra F9 ladies 9W head on a fitted shaft, but it would be nice to get rid of the pink colorway. Couldn't agree more, every brand should at least offer options up to 21° throughout their lineups.

Gravenor Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Given recent developments it has to be Bettinardi. Their putters have been brilliant for years, their wedges are fantastic, and the early reviews of their new irons have so far been great. Not just 2025, but their offerings over the next 2+ years will be ones to watch. Also completely agree with the rest of the forums idea of higher lofted fairway woods. I think all companies should be offering at least a 21° 7-wood option across their range, perhaps even a 9-wood given the surge in popularity of such models. Not one i've seen mentioned as much, but I am also looking forward to the developments within the world of golf technology, specifically the shot-tracking world. Arccos have set an interesting bar over the last few years especially with the trackers built into the grips, but it looks like their system still needs refinement. It will be interesting to see what they do to develop their tech further, or if another company can take what they've already achieved to the next level. cksurfdude 1 Quote Driver: Nike VR Pro Limited Edition // Mitsubishi Diamana 'ahina 65g (9.5°, Stiff) Fairway Woods: Mizuno ST-G // Mitsubishi Kai'li 60g (15° & 18°, Stiff) Irons: Mizuno MP15 // True Temper DG S300 (4-PW, Stiff) Wedges: Taylormade Z-Spin // True Temper DG S300 (52°/9°B, 56°/12°B, 60°/10°B, Stiff) Putter: Nike Method Milled Model 004 (35") Currently Testing: the ShotScope Pro ZR, see my review here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredBoomer Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I get excited about every, new release, it seems. Golf clubs are so much fun (and so obscenely expensive as well). That's why I'm so jealous of those fitters on you tube. They stick something new in the bag anytime they want. If I had my way, I'd need a golf cart the size of a tour van to carry my gear. That's not sane, but it's sadly true, or at least close to it. cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played 20 rounds with Arccos now and while I really, really like it, there is a ton of opportunity to improve both the tracking tech as well as the app/data presentation. I think there is a similar opportunity with launch monitors that all kind of present data in the same uninteresting way.

cksurfdude Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 On 7/19/2024 at 6:43 AM, Rob Person said: I see a spike in DTC brands upgrading their club options more than anything. Perhaps we will see a release of adjustable irons? Since every other club available now has adjustable heads, why not them too? Just catching up on this thread after seeing the newsletter link. Although maybe not "spike" I agree with Rob here that the DTC brands appear to be constantly upping the quality of their offerings. And though their R&D budget may still be a fraction of the major OEMs, a few of the DTCs seem to be narrowing the gap. So yeah maybe they'll get noticed more, more popular, next year? The comment on irons echoes my own thoughts. There was a (well, another) discussion about lie angles and my thought was if the iron had an adjustable hosel you could go to the range and crank the head, say, +1 up or -1 flat and test out the effect right then and there!

Everyone loves the look of a blade so why not make your forgiving line look similar?! Ping have started to do it with the i5 line from i500 onwards.
