EmailManufacturers are not waiting until the new year to introduce gear, and there are many new products that could help your game immediately. Last week, Golfweek showed you a driver, a wedge and a putter. Here are a few more products:
• • •
Callaway X-24 Hot irons
The skinny: Callaway calls the X-24 “the longest, most accurate iron” in the history of the X series. The clubs include a 360-degree undercut channel and Callaway’s new, darker PVD finish that reduces glare.
Cost: $699 (4-AW, optional SW, steel shafts), $899 with graphite
Available: Immediate

Adams Idea Black Super Hybrid
The skinny: This new large-headed hybrid might be called the offspring of a marriage between bigger fairway woods and typical hybrids. Its head size falls between the two, and its shaft length definitely is longer than most hybrids (42.5 inches for the 15-degree model). Other lofts are 17, 19 and 21 degrees. Plated with a striking black finish.
Cost: MSRP $249
Available: Immediate
JumboMax grips
The skinny: To put it bluntly, these are the largest grips in golf. JumboMax, a new company, is targeting golfers of all hand sizes. The sales pitch: Big grips allow a more relaxed grip. They weigh slightly more than 100 grams, so they will lower a club’s swingweight. Sold in medium, large and extra large sizes, although the medium is bigger than any other jumbo grip in golf.
Cost: $10.99 per grip

Bobby Jones SuperLite driver
The skinny: This driver is designed for golfers with swing speeds of 85 mph or less. Available in 9, 10.5 and 12.5 degrees, it comes with a Graphite Design shaft that is 47 inches (2 inches over standard) and weighs 45 grams. Even at that length, the club’s overall weight is less than 300 grams.
Cost: $299
