TaylorMade Spider GTX Golf Putters
The guys at TaylorMade have been perfecting the Spider putter range for over 10 years. As they accurately say, “The most powerful part of your game will always be putting.” Without the ability to sink putts, your chances of lowering that handicap are pretty slim.
But have no fear, because in 2023 TaylorMade has got your putting covered with the incredible Spider GTX range, which is already being touted by the brand as their most advanced and stable putter design yet. Even better? The GTX is available in a variety of colours as well as with different hosel and length options.
KEY TECHNOLOGY: True Path Alignment, Pure Roll2 Insert, Back Weight Stability Bar
£££: Available now at GolfOnline for £299

The Callaway PARADYM Drivers represent an industry-first innovation with their 360° Carbon Chassis. By removing all titanium from the body and combining a Carbon Crown with Forged Carbon Sole, Callaway has created a driver that’s 44% lighter than an all-titanium one. Saved weight is then repositioned both forward, to enhance ball speed, and toward the back of the clubhead, for increased forgiveness.
With three models available, golfers can find the perfect match for their game and swing. The PARADYM offers mid-high launch, low spin and a neutral flight bias. The PARADYM X will help golfers achieve high launch, mid-low spin and a semi-draw flight bias. And the PARADYM Triple Diamond will offer the lowest spin and launch in the range as well as a neutral ball flight.
KEY TECHNOLOGY: NEW A.I. designed Jailbreak system, 360° Carbon Chassis, Face Cup, A.I. Face Optimisation
£££: Standard PARADYM £529 at GolfOnline. Custom fit options are also available online.

The Vokey SM9 Wedges feature the brand’s first redesigned grooves in 6 years! Boasting 23 loft/bounce combinations with six Tour-proven sole grinds, Titleist wanted to ensure they could offer a unique setup that met the needs of every player. By using a new “spin milled” cutting process that creates the entire scoreline instead of a partial one, the SM9 achieves tighter manufacturing tolerances that results in sharper grooves that are closer to the USGA limits.
The all-new Jet Black Premium Finish, available now at GolfOnline, has been built to last. Achieved thanks in part to a time-intensive heat-treated binding process that ensures durability, these gorgeous wedges would be the perfect edition to any golfer’s bag this season.
KEY TECHNOLOGY: Six Tour-Proven Grinds, Progressive CG, Dynamic Golf Onyx S200 shaft and an all-black Tour Velvet 360 grip with BV wings
£££: Standard wedge £219 at GolfOnline with further custom options available.

Want to get even more accurate results? Titleist RCT golf balls are now compatible with the Approach R10.

By using these balls with the R10, Garmin states you can get up to 30x more accuracy on spin capture and a massive 50% more accuracy on Carry distance capture.
