As golfers, we love our gear. We will spend every spare dollar to find a way to get that little advantage over our friends to earn bragging rights until your next round. Our team is fortunate enough to receive products from many of the best brands in the game, and we’ve spent the last couple of months scoping out gear that we think will give you that little edge to make sure that you end up with your friend’s money in your wallet at the end of your round. We’ve also selected items that play well in any climate, so they are perfect to use while playing at home or on your next stay-and-play golf getaway. Enjoy!
TaylorMade Milled Grind Wedges
When you listen to the experts, there is no doubt that the majority of us do not change our wedges anywhere near enough. If you’re like the majority of the golfers that can barely see the grooves on their wedges anymore, now is the time to look into upgrading and TaylorMade has you covered.
The TaylorMade Milled Grind 2 lineup offers golfers the ultimate in versatility with a multitude of loft and grind options to give you the best setup for the playing conditions that you most frequent based on your swing profile. We are often asked what are the best wedges for somebody who travels to play golf, and we suggest having at least one wedge in your arsenal that is a little bit more versatile for diverse playing conditions.
This line also has a special MG2 Tiger Woods Grind Wedge line, reflecting the grind that Tiger Woods has developed with the TaylorMade team to suit his standards for the game. You might be thinking “what does he know? He’s only won 15 majors with a total of 82 wins.” Yeah…he probably knows a thing or two about how to maximize a wedge. We’ll take his word on this one.

Devant Towels
Have you ever considered your towel to be a piece of your equipment? Well, we’ve got to tell you we never realized how much an elite towel can impact your round until we used the Rival Towel by Devant Towels. This line features two distinct sides to the towel, with one side maximized to help you keep your clubs clean, while the other side features a fleece microfiber material that magically gets all of the sweat off of you and somehow does not drench your towel. We don’t know what kind of wizardry they’ve put into this product, and all we know is that it works perfectly and at only $24.95 it will be one of the best golf purchases you make this year.

Golf Pride
The grip is the one place that golfers have a direct connection with the golf club. The amount of times we’ve seen this critical piece of equipment ignored is mind-blowing. But there is a solution, as when it comes to being at the forefront of technology and design in this space look no further than Golf Pride grips.
There’s a reason why Golf Pride grips are played by about 80% of all players on Tour, including a certain guy named Tiger Woods who has long been playing Tour Velvet cords for as long as we can remember.
Golf Pride continues to innovate in the category, and they have a full line up of grips that can aid any golfer depending on their specific needs and they’ve even created an easy fitting guide to help you with this online.
For our team, it doesn’t get any better than the MCC Teams lineup. The MCC has been out for several years now with enhancements made along the way, but this new lineup provides golfers with 15 different color combinations to represent the colors of most major teams out there.
We love this grip because it works in every playing condition, and it especially excels in warmer climates where sweat is an issue. This hybrid grip combines the best of both worlds as the upper part of the grip features a firmer feel combined with the Brushed Cotton cord technology to give you that tacky feel with your lead hand. The lower part of the grip features a softer, performance rubber that provides you with more feel and responsiveness.
Bag Boy Nitron Auto-Open Push Cart
As golfers are becoming increasingly aware of the health benefits that they can receive from walking their round and enjoying some fresh air, more people are turning to Bag Boy, the industry-leader with over 75 years of designing exceptional products to enhance golfers on-course experience. The Nitron Push Cart is one of those exceptionally functional products. With an easy one-step auto open, this golf cart instantly expands and is ready for a stroll around the course.

Chiller Hybrid
Is there anything better than enjoying an ice-cold drink on a sweltering day on the course? We didn’t think so either. That’s why we are loving the Bag Boy Chiller Hybrid and its removable insulated cooler bag. The bag easily and comfortably holds four 12-ounce cans — just enough to last the round. As a hybrid bag, it’s lightweight to carry and still gives the option to attach to a push cart with Bag Boy’s Top-Lok technology, a patented bag-to-cart attachment system. With its 8 zippered pockets and 14-way individual full-length divider top, it’s obvious that Bag Boy thought of everything when they designed this bag. If you’re searching for a bag to cover any and all of your needs, look no further than this product. Check it out here.
Tour Edge
Tour Edge has long been a brand that has flown under the radar with many golfers, but those in the know are aware of how good this company has been at providing top quality products for some time.
The new Tour Edge Exotics 721 Series encapsulates a full lineup of products that are worth taking a look at, but for the purposes of this piece we focused on the 3-wood as we were blown away with the results we got with this new masterpiece.
When you the club down you notice the new Ridgeback Technology, which is a spine that reinforces power on center hits while also allowing for more face flex on off-center shots to create more power no matter where you catch it on the hot Diamond Face 2.0 which features a diamond shape pattern of various thickness throughout the face to maximize the trampoline effect for golfers.
This spine is flanked on each side by its dual carbon wings, not only creating a visually appealing design to help align your shot, but also helping to save weight in the clubface and redistribute it to areas where it can maximize the MOI for you.
This all leads to higher launch and lower spin making it perfect for off the tee or from the fairway for all golfers. If you haven’t hit these yet, head to your local retailer or pro shop and do it immediately to see the Exotics difference. To learn more about and purchase these products, click here.
