And I think it’s going to be a long, long time until my ball touches down on the fairway and we find, I’m not the golfer that they thought I was, no no, I’m a … sorry couldn’t help ourselves. Taylormade’s most unbuttoned driver to date certainly packs a mighty wallop. An inverted cone shaped clubface and an ultra-light shaft allow for zippier club swing speed and the highest coefficient of restitution promoting highly elastic ball meets face collisions. This boomer might just bring back “boom goes the dynamite,” from the dead sports cliché closet.

Sure they’re known for their shades but Oakley’s shoe game is getting less polarizing daily thanks to releases like the Cipher. Ever since the Ecco Street’s, spikeless chaussures have been de rigueur but Oakley doesn’t play ‘me too.’  These 260 gram kicks are billed as the lightest performance golf shoe in the world and they’ve rewritten the blueprint with their nano spikes — thousands of micro spikettes which “bite into blades of glass under your feet.”

The lab at Providence Precision Golf Group’s TopStrike tech claims to coax the best roll characteristics across the widest swath of stroke tendencies while minimizing spin, hops and skidding and maximizing buttery smooth in the hole rolls.  This is achieved by turning conventional design literally upside down, placing the sweet-spot of the putter in a much higher position to the golf ball compared with other putters. But what we really wonder is if the droids on Tatooine tote these P2G2’s around on the greens?

Designed by a chiropractor looking to enhance performance and endurance, these aren’t your average golf socks.

Unless you’re ’09 U.S. Open Winner Lucas Glover who defies his namesake and golf’s gloveless, you don’t bare palm your clubs with your lead hand (that’s the left for you righties).  Take a bold step for hand kind and make a statement whether its with the Alice Cooper approved Death Grip or if you’re more into the rasta than the metal, try the One Glove on for size.

The Golf legend’s namesake drink mixing iced tea and lemonade in equal parts now has a spiked cousin perfect for quaffing on the 19^th hole.
