At Golfbuyitonline we like to let you know about the best golf kit coming to the market as soon as possible. This is why we have set up a section on our site that shows you some of the latest up and coming exciting new golf stuff that you can order now before its official release. So you can be the first to get your hands on it as soon as it released.

You can now pre order the Nike SQ MachSpeed STR8-Fit Driver which isn’t available until March. Make sure you are the first one to have it as soon as it is released.

What Nike Say

Total Swing Aerodynamics. Nike designed the SQ MACHSPEED driver to optimize aerodynamics throughout the swing and to deliver more speed than any previous Nike driver.

As winter nears its end in March next year, and most golfers are thinking that spring can’t come fast enough, a new and exciting Nike Golf introduction will provide all the speed a golfer needs to put velocity into the golf season. The new SQ MACHSPEED driver will use the power of aerodynamics to help golfers hit the ball further and straighter – all due to speed. While consumers will have to wait for the official introduction at retail on March 1, 2010, Nike Tour athlete Justin Leonard can’t get it in his bag fast enough. After successfully testing the new SQ MACHSPEED driver, Leonard likely will be using the Nike SQ MACHSPEED for the first time in competition at The Presidents Cup from October 8–11, 2009. “This is my new secret weapon,” said Leonard. “I am hitting it 10-12 yards further and am really excited to put it in play.” The Nike SQ MACHSPEED driver is loaded with a combination of ground-breaking technology that was born from the minds of Nike Golf’s team of engineers. In addition to having a lower, deeper Centre of Gravity (CG) for a higher launch and increased distance, the SQ MACHSPEED driver features the award winning Nike STR8-FIT technology, square technology and now, Nike’s Total Swing Aerodynamic Design. Nike’s Total Swing Aerodynamic Design is the answer to generating more speed, resulting in more distance. Nike Golf has taken the concept of aerodynamics to a new level by looking at the golf swing holistically. “The number one thing that makes the ball go farther is faster ball speed. We’ve accomplished that through looking at the orientation of aerodynamics throughout the total golf swing, not just a portion of the swing,” said Tom Stites, Director of Club Creation for Nike Golf. “Optimizing aerodynamics in the total golf swing pulls the clubhead and shaft through the air faster, which leads to more distance. I’ll use a parachute as an example. The wider the parachute is, the slower it comes down because air separates around the parachute and causes drag. The same thing applies to the golf club, but through geometry and Total Swing Aerodynamics, we have been able to minimize the air separation and drag.”

What Nike Say

After working with the winningest driver staff on the PGA Tour for the past three years, we reshaped our driver to reshape your game. The combination of the all-new Compression Channel technology and our award winning STR8-FIT face-angle technology deliver longer distance and more shot shaping control.

Technical Features

Compression Channel: Increased overall compression of the body produces increased, uniform ball speeds across the entire face.
STR8-FIT Tour adjustability: 32 face angle options make it easier for players to subtly perfect their shot shape.

Nike Golf Crossline Grip: Position your driver to deliver ultimate confidence and optimal performance

Aldila VooDoo : The shaft is specially designed with a patent-pending, one piece carbon fiber system. It keeps the shaft more concentric during the swing, meaning that the shaft won’t oval, deform or waste energy the way more conventional shafts do. This maintains the shaft’s intended structure throughout the swing, allowing it to flex identically every time – transferring a golfer’s maximum energy into the ball. The result: more distance, accuracy, and unmatched feel.

The Nike Golf STR8-FIT torque wrench : Provides a sound and LED light indicator to signal the shaft and STR8-FIT adaptor are fully secured.

What Golfbuyitonline Say.

Our Nike fitters at Golfbuyitonline.com love this technology. Jon quotes “When we are fitting clients our life is so much easier now with unlimited combinations of face angles to help achieve the perfect shot. Add this with the lofts and flexes and now the famous Voodoo shaft this Driver from Nike is Awesome.

So what are you waiting for pre-order you Nike Victoy Red St8-Fit Tour Driver now from the UK’s Premier Nike Internet Retailer and 360 Intelligent Custom Fit Centre.

What Titleist Say.

IMPROVED FEEL, CLASSIC LOOKS Keeping with its serious clubs for serious golfer roots, Titleist introduces the new Titleist CB forged irons featuring improved feel and looks. The CB irons are a full set of cavity-back forgings that deliver the looks, feel and performance highly-skilled players demand. Forged from 1025 carbon steel with bright chrome plating, CB irons feature slightly longer, constant blade lengths, and a softer topline for visual confidence at address. CB irons feature an optimized cavity muscle that provides more mass behind the impact area to achieve the quintessential soft, solid feel. This weighting also produces consistent launch angle, backspin and ball speed in order to provide precise distance and shot control demanded by better players. The full cavity CB set also provides increased inertia and forgiveness versus the MB.

What We Say

CB irons epitomize what Titleist are all about when making and designing golf clubs. These CB’s will appeal to the serious golfer looking for traditional clean lines with forging for feel and weighting to help with penetrating ball flight whilst giving forgiveness for off centre shots. Dynamic gold is the standard shaft weapon for this club but can be built with many other options custom fit.

When you get a 5.30am wake-up call from Ernie Els wanting to share his excitement about the new Tour i(s)™ Golf Ball he has just put in play, it’s fair to assume you’re on to a winner!

That’s exactly what Callaway Golf’s PGA Tour representative, Barry Lyda, received from the excited South African. Barry said: “Ernie rang me at 5.30am in the morning to tell me what a revelation the ball had been. He absolutely adores using the new Tour i(s) and he can see an immediate improvement in his performance by using it.”

Els told Lyda: “The new Tour i(s) ball is unbelievable. It’s the ball I’ve been waiting for and to make a hole-in-one on only the second day of playing with it is fantastic. I now can’t wait to get going next year and I’m thoroughly looking forward to the future with a bag of equipment that is spot-on.”

The event marked a ‘1, 2, 3’ for Callaway Golf with World Number Two and Staff Professional, Phil Mickelson, winning the tournament and Golf Ball Staff Professional, Ryan Moore, taking third.

The ‘Big Easy’ enjoyed an amazing first week with the Tour i(s) Golf Ball that saw him shoot 22 birdies and two eagles, culminating in a stunning final round of 63 – a new course record. He also made dramatic improvements to his driving stats, averaging 299 yards off the tee, that’s eight yards longer than he has averaged all-season.

Ernie added: “My final round in Shanghai was one of the rounds of my life. I shot eight birdies and an eagle and stood on the 18th tee at 10-under for the round. I may have dropped a shot on the last hole, but regardless, it was a fantastic round of golf.”

The soon-to-be-launched Tour i(s) Golf Ball features an ultra-soft thin and durable urethane cover that grabs onto the grooves of a club for massive backspin on short shots while generating low driver spin for amazing distance off the tee. It also features a refined Hex design that helps the ball cut through the air more efficiently to give increased stability in windy conditions.

Steve Ogg, Callaway’s vice president of golf ball R&D, said: “The Tour i(s) is the most highly-engineered golf ball product we have ever come out with. It is the softest ball we’ve ever produced, but it also has what is technically called ‘a high core compression differential’. This is the difference between the compression of the inner core and the outer core. When you have a high-compression outer core, the ball holds its shape better when you’re hitting wedge shots so you can create more spin.

“However, the greater force generated from a driver will penetrate the outer core and compress the soft inner core, reducing spin and creating greater distance. Basically, this ball morphs to the shot that you want.”

This ball is expected to be in Stock January 2010. We’ll keep you updated.

Another new design from Scotty Cameron in the Studio Select range. The new 1.5 fastback offers the traditional looking Fastback mallet design with a new flow neck with a half shaft offset. Available in right hand only and Custom grip and weight options.  This is availabe to but online in December so keep an eye out for it.

What Titleist Say.

The Scotty Cameron Studio Select® family of precision milled 303 Stainless Steel Newport-style putters features bold red tour graphics, an improved high toe profile, and heel & toe circular sole weights that allow for multiple length options in each model. The circular heel-toe weights provide increased stability by reducing head rotation on off-center impacts for a larger sweet spot. The factory adjustable weights are set to provide the proper headweight-to-shaft length combination. The improved high toe profile of Studio Select helps eliminate the tendency to raise the toe at address thereby causing the player to aim left of target. Studio Select also features a stepless shaft for a clean look at address and soft but solid feel, as well as a new red Cameron cord grip. Studio Select H putters feature a heavier head (+10g) to provide a heavier feel preferred by some players. With the addition of Studio Select H, available in 34″ and 35″, the Scotty Cameron Studio Select line can now be fully customized for length, weight, lie angle and grip type. Studio Select H models are custom built at Titleist and are differentiated by a special Circle H shaft band.

Titleist brand ambassador captures the Volvo World Match Play Championship

Titleist Brand Ambassador Ross Fisher captured his biggest career victory to date with an immaculate display of consistent precision golf around the testing Finca Cortesin course in Spain. The win came on Fisher’s 126th hole of the week where a par 4 saw him capture the win that had so far eluded him during a season of great performances.. Following strong finishes at the US Open and The Open Championship, Fisher has elevated himself to fourth on the inaugural Race to Dubai rankings and 17th position in the Official World Golf Rankings following this week’s win. Fisher captured the Volvo World Match Play Championship, with a 4&3 margin of victory over Anthony Kim in the final match.  The 28-year old Englishman had previously edged out Masters champion Angel Cabrera (Pro V1x) on the third extra hole of his semi final to setup a showdown with Kim for the Championship and was never behind in the scheduled 36-hole championship match from the moment he birdied the first hole of the day.

Fisher trusted the superior performance of Titleist for this victory; Pro V1x, 909D3 driver (8.5), 695MB irons (2-9), Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges (48, 54, 60), Scotty Cameron putter. Titleist was the ball of choice among the players at the limited field Volvo World Match Play Championship with eight players teeing up a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x, versus three for the nearest competitor.

Also this week in a co-sanctioned European and Asian Tour event, Ian Poulter (Pro V1x) claimed his first title since 2007 at the Barclays Singapore Open. Titleist was the top golf ball choice among players at the Barclays Singapore Open with 97 players, compared to 22 for the nearest competitor.  Titleist was also topped the count for both iron sets and wedges at the event.  Poulter’s win marks the 23rd for Titleist players on the 2009 PGA European Tour season, more than three times the nearest competitor with 7.

In addition to victories for Fisher and Poulter there were further wins for Titleist golf balls elsewhere in the world. On the LPGA Tour in South Korea, Titleist golf ball loyalists claimed first, second and third spots at the Hana Bank KOLON Championship with Na Yeon Choi (Pro V1x) taking the title. In South Africa, Darren Fichardt (Pro V1x) won on the South African Tour’s Platinum Classic, while on the Australasian tour Titleist golf balls claimed another 1-2-3 with Andrew Bonhomme (Pro V1x) capturing the Laurance Scrap Metal WA PGA Championship. There was also victory for Titleist in Korea, where Ki Sang-Lee (Pro V1), pulled away from fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Jae-Hoon Jung (Pro V1x) to capture the 18-hole final of the DongBu Promi Match Play Championship whilst in Japan, veteran Toru Suzuki (Pro V1x) ended a five-year title drought with a commanding victory at the Mynavi ABC Championship.

Victories for Fisher, Poulter and a host of other names across the worldwide professional Tours takes the win count for the Titleist Pro V1 to 144 for the 2009 season, compared to just 25 for the nearest competitor. Titleist is also by far the most played ball across the worldwide professional Tours with 65% of players choosing to tee up either Pro V1 or Pro V1x in competition across the 2009 season compared to 10% of the count for the nearest competitor.

Triumph for Titleist Brand Ambassador Ross Fisher, who climbs to 17th in the world rankings, as well as the constant flow of victories around the world for Pro V1 loyalists proves once again that the game’s elite continue to opt for the matchless performance of Titleist.
