MIZUNO BR-D4 stand bag
For most golfers, the ideal golf bag weighs next to nothing yet
is loaded with features and capacity. Which is why your Utopian
model may well be Mizuno’s new lightweight BR-D4 stand bag.
For when you want to drive, there’s a cart-strap channel that lets
you easily and securely fasten it to the vehicle’s belt. And when
you’re walking, you can be confident in the comfort of its padded
double shoulder straps. In addition to dedicated pockets for
apparel, golf balls and valuables, there’s an insulated cooler pocket
and a separate insulated drink pouch—and a magnetic pocket
that should help keep those ball markers from disappearing down
into an abyss. $200. mizunousa.com
FOOTJOY RainGrip gloves
Sometimes rain comes into play on the course. Any kind of hat can
keep water off your face, but you need good rain gloves to keep your
hands dry and some traction with your grips. If a glove is too slippery,
you will completely lose control of every shot. Thankfully, there are
FootJoy’s newest RainGrip gloves that feature perhaps the best wet-
weather traction control around, along with improved breathability and
comfort. This latest version also appeases the many tour players and
amateurs who wear older RainGrips as their everyday gloves, in muggy
climates. Plus it magnetically houses an included ball marker. The glove
is offered in two colors, and a wide array of sizes. $25/pair. footjoy.com
CLEVELAND GOLF
Smart Sole 3 wedge
The Smart Sole 3 wedge comes in two versions.
Designed specifically for golfers who struggle
with short-game shots, both models have a
new, three-tiered sole that induces smooth
turf interaction on bunker shots, chips and full
swings. Plus, the loft on each wedge makes it
easier to get shots airborne. “We designed these
with the widest, most forgiving sole of any Cleveland
wedge,” says Jeff Brunski, the company’s director of
research and development. “That makes getting out of
bunkers as easy as possible.” $130/graphite shift,
$120/steel. clevelandgolf.com
