Odyssey’s Tank putter comes in two models: standard and longer

Odyssey Tank

Odyssey’s Tank putter (HK$1,550) is an uber-heavy mallet designed to help keep your hands quiet throughout the stroke. With a hefty 400 gram head, heavy shaft and counterbalanced grip (weighing either 30 or 40 grams depending on the model), the Tank is sure to be an acquired taste. It comes in two models: standard (34 and 36 inches) and longer (38 and 40 inches). Its #7 head and improved white hot insert round out this unique offering. Definitely a flatstick to test run before purchasing. www.odysseygolf.com

Nike VR_S Covert

Nike’s VR_S Covert driver (HK$2,300-3,100) boasts both an adjustable loft and face angle and provides an amazing 15 combinations in just one clubhead. Yup, that’s 15 drivers in one club. But that’s not the only part that makes it unique. It also features a "High Speed Cavity Back" technology that aims to add distance and control. Engineers also designed the clubface with variable thickness so the sweet spot is high in the centre, right where golfers should make contact. Better players should opt for the smaller Tour version. One clubhead, five lofts (8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5°, 12.5°). Comes with a MRC Kuro Kage graphite shaft. www.nike.com
