Our Friday equipment roundup: adidas gripmore, Scotty Cameron and a summer headcover

If there is one thing golfers love to do, it's tinker with new equipment. We are always looking for the latest driver, hottest putter and best pair of shoes to help us go low. Each Friday for the rest of the year we will be bringing you five items that we've enjoyed messing around with, no matter if it's equipment, apparel or just something random that we thought you'd enjoy. Here we go!

Callaway X2 Hot Pro Fairway Wood

While Callaway is proudly boasting the technology, and success, of their Big Bertha line, the X2 Hot sits quietly in the corner pleasing golfer after golfer that takes a chance with it. The X2 Hot Pro fairway wood (I have the 3-wood) is a great combination of the trending deep face fairway wood and the easy workability of a Callaway product. I've enjoyed batting this thing around, and almost feel at times that I don't even need to carry a driver when bringing this thing to the course (what up, Phil Mickelson!). www.callawaygolf.com, $229

Titleist Scotty Cameron Futura X Dual Balance Putter

You know if you have a Scott Cameron in your hand you'll be confident on the greens, but messing around with my first ever dual balance Scotty was more fun than I would have thought. The weight allows you to keep more putts on the line you want, which is basically a fancy way of saying you'll be stronger from eight-feet and in with a putter like this one. The Futura X is the definition of stable, and should definitely get a look if you're at your local pro shop in need of something to get the ball in the hole at a faster clip. www.titleist.com, $425

adidas gripmore golf shoes

We all know that golf shoes have moved from stability to comfort, but what if you could have both in one shoe? That's what the adidas gripmore has set out to do, allowing the golfer a shoe that doesn't contain those heavy spikes, but can still give you grip on any surface. The shoes look great, but it's the ability to feel the turf throughout the shoe that makes these things special. www.taylormadegolf.com

Seamus Golf Hiwahiwa Headcover

Summer is just around the corner, so why not add a headcover that makes you feel like slipping away to the beaches of Hawaii? That's what the fine folks at Seamus have done with this gem, and it's a fun addition to any golf bag that could use a little spice. www.seamusgolf.com, $39

Ping Karsten TR Putter

Don't be fooled by the beautiful copper finish, because this putter is way more than just a pretty face. The Karsten TR brings in the "true roll" technology, meaning that mis-hit putts can still get on the right line thanks to the Variable-depth grooves that cover the face of this beauty. You can get this putter in standard length, or get the adjustable version (USGA legal) that allows you to change the length of your own putter if you want it shorter or longer. www.pinggolf.com

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
