It’s main week (or given it’s the PGA Championship, a barely-a-major week), and the golf tools business has graciously chosen to let the match have the information cycle to itself. Largely.
That stated, as with every main, there have been loads of restricted version releases that dropped this week, every attempting to seize Charlotte’s essence with all of the creativity of a ChatGPT immediate.
Restricted Version Releases: The Charlotte Version(s)
First – kudos to Bridgestone. Given that everybody else appeared caught on three rudimentary Charlotte themes: 1) Queen Metropolis, 2) Hornets, or 3) Auto Racing, Bridgestone at the very least had the creativeness to lean into the course (Quail Hole, obvi) itself with a drop of limited edition Tour BX “Quail Eggs.” #Successful
TaylorMade launched restricted version Queen City bags and headcovers that—shock!—leaned into all three of these plotlines listed above. As a result of why select only one cliché when you possibly can have all of them?
COBRA launched limited edition “Pole Position” headcovers which featured blends of Charlotte Hornets colours and racing-themed prints. Nothing says “golf” fairly like trying such as you’re prepared to vary tires on the Coca-Cola 600.
Toulon launched a small batch “Charlotte” putter that leaned into the racing theme. As a result of your three-putts ought to positively be occurring at 180 mph.
FootJoy dropped a “Legend Carolina Blue” golf shoe. I suppose it’s stylish, but it surely’s not going to go over properly with Duke followers. They’ll suck it anyway.
Reef and Palm Golf collaborated on a “Dew Sweeper” collection. If unnecessarily massive tassels and a mossy teal are your factor, have I acquired some gear for you! It’s meant to seize the spirit of browsing’s daybreak patrol and golf’s dew sweeper. I suppose it’s best for browsing golfers trying to be in two locations directly. My two cents… I really form of dig the hats and Ts. Don’t inform anybody. I’ve a status to take care of.
Titleist dropped USA Performance Alignment golf balls as a result of golf ball producers are virtually obligated to do patriotic releases. It’s a typical Titleist understated, risk-averse design. Approach to step out of your consolation zone, guys. At 6 for $31.99, they’re an absolute steal… even when I’m undecided who’s stealing from whom.
Priced to Transfer
Along with gear drops, I’ve acquired some pricing alerts you would possibly care about… or may not.
TaylorMade discounted MG4 wedges, presumably to make room for the MG5s which will certainly be very totally different. Given the efficiency historical past, not altering something however the quantity wouldn’t be the worst factor.
Tour Edge cut prices on much of their 723 series… stuff you would possibly really need at a worth level sometimes reserved for stuff you don’t. Taking a look at you, Sizzling Launch.
Callaway is pairing a 50% trade-in bonus (your trade-in is virtually nugatory, so I’m undecided concerning the math on that one) and 10% off a healthy chunk of their iron lineup together with Apex, Elyte, and final 12 months’s Paradym. As a result of nothing says “our new stuff is nice” like discounting it earlier than summer season even begins.
Bye.
Glad main week, people. Could your putts drop sooner than restricted version headcovers promote out
Till subsequent time …
