PING introduce Sensor Cool with the aid of Bubba
gloves under a unique agreement in which PING will make an annual donation to the Bubba Watson Foundation, based on the number of gloves sold. The three new gloves- Sensor Sport, Sensor Tour and Sensor Tech- all feature PING Sensor Cool, a proprietary technology that wicks moisture away to keep the golfer cooler, drier and more comfortable. The gloves will be available in mid-February at PING-authorised golf shops.

“Instead of a traditional endorsement
agreement, we’ll contribute to Bubba’s foundation annually,” said John A. Solheim, PING chairman and CEO. “It was Bubba’s idea and it fits his desire to use his status in the game to assist charities that are doing good work in their communities. At the same time, Bubba will be out on tour representing what we feel is the best line of golf gloves in the industry.” Specific terms of the agreement were
not released, but Solheim said the amount of the donation is tied to overall glove sales.

Ton up for Wilson Staff T
clubs - Dynapower irons and the 8802 putter. Celebrating
the fact that Wilson has been incorporated as a sporting goods company since 1914, the Wilson Golf division of the Chicago- based brand has selected these two clubs to illustrate innovation is at their core roots. The Wilson Staff FG Tour 100 forged set of irons reflect
the evolution of bladed clubs. The modern 3-piece button- back head of the clubs emulate the style of the 1971 Dynapower blades. The new Wilson Staff 8802 putter continues the heritage of
the original Wilson Staff milled putter that won multiple Major championships in the hands of some of the best putters in history. With the same heel-shaſted head shape, the new 8802 model is milled from 304 stainless steel for precision and feel with a double-milled facing for a flat surface that delivers a true roll on the green. These clubs are presented in packaging carrying the vintage
Wilson Staff shield and script, which will also appear on Centennial Pro Tour golf bags during the first half of the year.

The LINX is a fashionable sport watch that comes preloaded with 34,000 high-precision, error- corrected golf courses. The new SkyCaddie LINX watch features a very
S
clear, high-definition, sunlight-readable display with both positive and negative polarity to make it arguably the most legible watch on the market. The LINX is Bluetooth-enabled and when paired with the new complimentary mobile app, golfers can upload scores and stats to SkyGolf’s online community for fast and easy review of their rounds without a cable. Bluetooth connectivity also makes it easy to keep the LINX up to date with
the latest error-corrected course updates on demand to avoid the annoyance of preloads. Using golf’s only ground-corrected precision course maps, the LINX provides distances to the front, centre and back of the green, as well as providing TrueGround layup targets from the tee box through the entire hole with no membership required. LINX is also SkyPin-enabled, meaning that wearers will be able to see ‘Front-
Pin-Back’ distances once SkyGolf’s new SkyPin technology – which gives golfers exact distances to that day’s pin positions – arrives at their golf course. The LINX is upgradable to allow golfers to receive optional features and
benefits including IntelliGreen technology which provides actual green shapes and pin targeting for precise distance to the hole. Upgrades also include a TrueGround Target List with up to 40 hazards, carries and layups per hole. In addition to time and golf, fitness features included in the LINX make this
not only an every-day watch but also a fully functional watch for multiple sports. A built-in Odometer tracks location, distance, time, laps, speed, pace and calories burned during walks, runs or bike rides. All data can be uploaded to an online account to track progress.
