TaylorMade release their Tour Preferred Wedges
TaylorMade sought the input of PGA Tour players as well as T
renowned club designer Clay Long to artfully craſt Tour Preferred wedges. “We dedicated three years to their shapes and dimensions,”
said Tomo Bystedt, TaylorMade’s director of Product Creation for Irons, Putters and Wedges. “The outcome is two extremely versatile sole grinds in the Tour Preferred category. We combined that with a raw Micro Texture face to make this wedge truly worthy of the Tour Preferred name.” The first sole option is a new Classic Grind for the player
who prefers a clean, classically designed wedge with a very traditional shape. This model is offered in loſts of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees with Tour-proven bounce options.
The second option is a refined ATV Grind, inspired by the All Terrain
Versatility design. The new ATV Grind boasts a reshaped sole that’s slightly narrower. This is said to allow for better performance on open-faced shots and on tight lies. The week aſter Tour Preferred Wedges were introduced on the PGA Tour,
25 were in play at the 2014 Valero Texas Open. Players who elected to put the new wedges in the bag included two-time U.S. Open Champion Retief Goosen, Camilo Villegas, Sean O’Hair and Carl Pettersson. The Tour Preferred wedges will be available at retail on 18th April, at an RRP of £99.

Stewart Golf unveil latest creation B
ritish golf trolley manufacturer Stewart Golf
has formally unveiled the X9 Follow. The company’s engineers have
taken the X Series chassis and given it a brand new design- an all- new Bluetooth powered electronics system that allows the machine to follow the golfer at just the touch of a button. CEO Mark Stewart commented:
“We are constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Our engineering team have worked extremely hard for more than three years to make the X9 Follow just as intuitive as the remote control models we’re famous for. The X9 Follow really takes relaxation to a whole new level of luxury.” To use the ‘follow’ feature, all the
golfer needs to do is press a single button on the new rechargeable remote control handset. Once the golfer starts to walk, the X9 Follow will stay a few paces behind and
match their walking pace exactly. It even holds its position going down hills, with the patented electronics system automatically varying and braking the twin motors to alter both speed and direction. The user friendly design means that between the golfer stopping at their ball and walking away again, no button presses are required.
