A Summer
Pick-Me-Upby SCOTT
KRAMER
YOUR GOLF GEAR MIGHT BE DIALED IN FOR THE SEASON— BUT THINGS HAPPEN. Bag straps disintegrate. Putts stop dropping. Or suddenly, you just can’ t find the fairway off the tee box. If you need a pick-me-up, here are some fresh items to keep your game( and your gear) on track.
VESSEL // LUX LOOPER STAND
Walking the course is in, and the Vessel Lux Looper Stand makes carrying your bag a lot more comfortable. Inspired by classic caddy bags, it’ s made for walking golfers with a clean minimalist design, tour-grade crosshatch synthetic leather and hand-stitched accents. Water-resistant zippers, antimicrobial pockets and a matching rain hood keep gear protected. A velour-lined 4-way top with enclosed dividers cushions your clubs, while dual hip pads and anti-tip strap points add balance. The Equilibrium 2.0 double strap and padded single strap keep things easy on your shoulders— or throw it on a push cart. Available in black, white and green. $ 369; vesselgolf. com
COBRA // LIMIT3D ENZO MALLET PUTTER
If you haven’ t tried Cobra’ s 3D-printed clubs yet, the new LIMIT3D ENZO mallet putter is a strong place to start. Made from a single piece of 3D-printed 316L stainless steel, it features intricate internal lattices for precise weight distribution and smooth impact feel— no drilled pockets or extra soleplates needed. The design delivers higher MOI and better stability on off-center hits. CNC machining adds Tour-level precision and a premium finish, while descending lofts promote consistent roll. It comes standard with a single-bend shaft, facebalanced setup, half-shaft offset and a soft SuperStroke Zenergy 2.0PT grip. $ 599; cobragolf. com
ODYSSEY // Ai-ONE SQUARE 2 SQUARE MAX STRIPE
Odyssey’ s new Ai-ONE Square 2 Square Max Stripe putter is all about stability through impact. Designed with high MOI, it keeps the head steady through your stroke so putts stay on line. A bold white alignment stripe contrasts against the navy head, and the center-shafted setup helps you square the face with ease— ideal for players trying to reduce face rotation. The White Hot urethane insert, designed with AI, features contoured aluminum backing for consistent ball speed, great feel and a crisp click. A forward shaft lean presets your hands at impact. Available in 33, 34 and 35 inches. $ 400; odyssey. callawaygolf. com
