new gear C  learball Putter At the heart of this high quality mallet putter is a built in training aid, making it an exceptionally efficient alignment system. The ClearBall Putter addresses the crucial area of eye alignment and stance. Aligning the White and Red lines of the clear disc creates the proper technique for setting up your stance and perfecting your alignment on every stroke. In addition to its perfect weight balance, is a very forgiving two-inch putting sweet spot. They also now stock a Pro series range, CNC Milled from an aviation grade aluminium block, including a Titanium face plate and weight screws for additional customisation. ClearBall Putters are only available online, so improve your putting with every putt you make, it’s the most efficient way to lower your score. RRP $199-$249 www.clearballputter.com.au G  reen Tee’s Biodegradable PLA Tees Green Tee’s new PLA Corn tee, is made from materials derived from corn, and will decompose in as little as two months. The PLA (polyactide polymer) bio-technology is used by businesses to create environment friendly, biodegradable products ranging from packaging, food containers and eating utensils, so with more than 4.4 billion golf tees used globally, and more than 10 million in Australia, there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to course wear and tear. The PLA tees are available in 70mm driver length & 55mm iron lengths. RRP $2.50 (20-pack) K  ingcaddy Platinum Suspension Electric Buggy The first fully-independent suspension electric lithium buggy, the Kingcaddy Platinum has been designed and developed in Australia for Australian golf course conditions. Lightweight and easy to fold, the unique suspension system provides stability over all types of terrain. It also eliminates the golf clubs from rattling around, while also protecting the golfer’s wrists and hands. Key features: • Fully independent suspension • Lithium battery as standard (not extra) • Strongest electric buggy built • 3 year warranty on frame • 2 year warranty on the lithium battery NEW GEAR> www.urbangolfgear.com.au E: [email protected] P  ING G30 Adjustable Driver Turbulators on the crown of the 460cc Ti 8-11 head reduce aerodynamic drag, leading to faster clubhead speed and ball velocity for long, accurate drives. The higher strength/ weight ratio of the T9S face material allows for a thinner, hotter face and saves 4 grams of weight. The weight savings are allocated to help position the CG lower and farther back, ensuring high launch and optimized spin with a high MOI. SF Tec heads promote a right-to-left ball flight for players whose shots typically end up right of the target. To optimize launch angle and spin, golfers can add or subtract up to 1 degree of loft using Trajectory Tuning+ Technology. A high-balance-point TFC 419D shaft has a CG closer to the grip end, promoting a simultaneous increase in energy, momentum and inertia. The custom tuning port can accommodate a range of fitting weights and allows PING to achieve the desired swing weight across RRP a variety of proprietary and $485.00 after-market shafts.

(Carpenter 475 steel is 44% stronger than 17-4 stainless steel.) Weight saved by thinning the face was redistributed to optimize the CG and elevate MOI for added forgiveness. Launch angle and spin can be fine-tuned by adding or subtracting up to 1 degree of loft with PING’s five-setting Trajectory Tuning+ Technology, utilizing a lightweight hosel that offers adjustments of +0.6°, +1°, -0.6°, and -1°. Crown turbulators create a captured appearance with the ball, and help with aim and alignment to inspire confidence. The high-balance-point TFC 419F shaft has a CG
