YOUR SHORT GAME
by SCOTT KRAMER
IF YOUR SHORT GAME HAS ALREADY BEGUN UNRAVELING IN THIS
YOUNG GOLF SEASON, then maybe it’s time to take action. Sometimes
that’s just a matter of finding a club—in this case a wedge or putter.
Thankfully, there are some brand-new options on the market worthy of
your consideration.
GOLFLOGIX PUTT BREAKS
There's hope for those of you who can’t determine which way a putt will break
or how hard to stroke it. The new Putt Breaks feature of the GolfLogix GPS
smartphone app displays an interactive green diagram of exactly how every one
of your putts will break—as if you had a caddie with you. It includes detailed, full-
color, accurate green maps. Just plot on your phone screen the exact location of
the flagstick, stand behind your ball, and it instantly orients the map to show any
breaks from your vantage point. Putt Breaks is free for 30 days and has a nominal
subscription fee afterwards. golflogix.com
COBRA KING MIM
Cobra’s KING MIM Wedge is the industry’s first to feature a fully Metal-
Injection-Molded (MIM) steel clubhead. A process utilized to create highly
intricate shapes, MIM technology delivers precision shaping and thickness,
which enhances the wedge’s feel and performance. “Our processes work to
reduce variables, helping golfers have a more consistent, improved game,”
says Tom Olsavsky, vice president of research and development at Cobra.
The wedge’s grind—Rickie Fowler’s shape of choice, by the way—provides
more versatility for you to open the face for flops or close it to bump and run.
The face sports a circular milling pattern that maximizes spin on softer shots.
