shoes
FootJoy's new HyperFlex shoe
made quite an impression when
it was unveiled earlier this year,
thanks to its striking colour
schemes and innovative
technologies. The shoe inspired by a suspension bridge
in Boston - is FJ's 'most
progressive ever'.
The all-new FootJoy shoe combines an athletic look
and feel with performance benefits specifically for golf
The new Hyperflex shoe (£135 standard lacing and
£150 BOA) fills the only obvious gap in the FootJoy
line. While it features the sporty looks influenced by
athletic footwear, the design takes into account the
unique requirements of golfers. This includes the
introduction of FlexGrid material in the upper that is
strong to stop the foot from rolling, but allows
flexibility where required. The breathable mesh design
is also fully waterproof.
FJ's HyperFlex is available in five different colour
schemes, with either traditional or BOA lacing

Callaway's Bertha Mini 1.5 is
designed to offer golfers
another option off the tee when
their driver is misbehaving,
while also offering improved
playability from the fairway...
New club said to offer accuracy, playability and
distance for more golfers from the tee and fairway
"It's more versatile and forgiving,
appealing to golfers who struggle
with driver inconsistency"
Following on from Callaway’s 3Deep models, the new
Bertha Mini 1.5 (RRP £249) is more versatile and
forgiving, appealing to a broader range of golfers who
struggle with driver inconsistency from the tee. It
features a Callaway Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup
which increases ball speeds across the face and a
Forged Composite Crown that allows for a lower CG
yet increased forgiveness.
With loft options of 12° and 14° and a shaft shorter
than a standard driver, this club is aimed at golfers
looking for more control off the tee, but also a fairway
alternative. The 235cc head is larger, and therefore
more forgiving, than a 3-wood. The OptiFit hosel
adjustability offers eight loft and lie settings, while the
addition of Callaway’s legendary Warbird Soleplate
enhances all-course playability.

TaylorMade's AeroBurner mini
driver is a powerful club that
brings back the Burner brand in
a new, compact head shape that
should deliver increased ball
speeds, thanks to its optimised
speed pocket and aerodynamic
head shape....
The AeroBurner mini incorporates all the elements of
the standard driver in a more compact head shape
The AeroBurner mini driver (£219) is designed to offer
the distance of a driver with the consistency of a
fairway wood. It takes the positives from the SLDR
Mini driver from last year but with a new aerodynamic
shape for added distance and new speed pocket to
increase the size of the sweet spot and help reduce
spin. The overall size has been reduced to offer
improved versatility but the hitting area has been
enlarged for more forgiveness. It be available in 12°,
14° and 16° models.
The AeroBurner mini comes in 12, 14 and 16-degree

The most noteworthy addition
to Mizuno's ball line is the
three-piece JPX. Mizuno has
introduced a cluster of microdimples following research
carried out in conjunction with
the Fukuoka Institute of
Technology, which improves the
ball's aerodynamic properties...
Mizuno’s new ball is designed with a focus on
increased distance on long shots...
Mizuno’s second generation of balls in the UK market
includes the new JPX range (£35 per dozen). The
Mizuno team worked with the Fukuoka Institute of
Technology to design a ball that goes further through
the air. This has been achieved with a cluster of microdimples around each larger one. This slightly stalls the
point that the ball begins its decent, so it flies further.
The three-piece construction is also designed to offer a
soft feel at impact.
Mizuno's new JPX golf ball comes with an RRP of £35

for more distance. Velocity Slots on the soles deliver
more flex from a wide area on the clubface.
Throughout the set, Adams Blue features a low and
back centre of gravity, which also promotes a higher
launch, more spin, and therefore more air time for a
variety of swing speeds

this through Exchange Technology, which comprises
two faceplates. One is black, which signifies the nonslope version, and the other is red, featuring a plug-in
that activates the slope technology. Like its
predecessor, the Tour X has the vibrating JOLT function
when it locks onto the flag.

Cobra's better-player iron for
2015 comes with a raft of
technological innovations,
including a multi-step forging
process for feel and tungsten
inserts to improve distance,
accuracy and forgiveness...
New better-player irons offer appealing blend of
forgiveness and feel
The Cobra Fly-Z+ Forged (RRP £699, steel) irons are
constructed from a five-stage forging process to
deliver the best feel, flight and forgiveness. Tungsten
inserts located in the heel and toe of the long irons
position the CG behind the impact area, creating
consistent distance and accuracy. They also aid
forgiveness by increasing MOI. Additionally, weightsaving vibration-dampening Thermo Plastic rubber
inserts help to soften the feel.
CNC-milled undercutting from 3- to 8-iron removes
weight for improved forgiveness. KBS Tour Shafts and
Lamkin 3GEN Crossline grips come as standard

Srixon's Z range marked the
brand's re-introduction to the

different weight ports, allowing
golfers to modify shot shape
and launch characteristics...
In Srixon’s impressive return to hardware, traditional
looks join up with modern technology
The classic-looking Z545 driver (RRP £325) is a 460cc
model with two weight ports on the sole, which
enable you to position 3g, 7g or 11g weights in
different combinations to change the launch angle,
spin and shot shape.
Its variable face thickness technology has been
enhanced to reduce the loss of ball speed from heel
and toe strikes. Further adjustability comes from the
Quick Tune System, a 12-way hosel that alters loft, lie
and face angle to perfect launch conditions.
A lighter grip, heavier head and counter-balanced
shaft combine to create Srixon’s Dual Speed
Technology, which helps to increase swing speed
