Srixon Z-Star
Srixon has unveiled two new models of their popular Z-Star golf ball, the three-piece Z-Star and four-piece Z-Star XV. They both deliver greater advances in spin control and softness while improving flight trajectory with 344 newly developed aerodynamic dimples. Look for a new Highgrip-Spin-Coating surface developed by Dunlop that produces lots of backspin on short-iron shots. Designed with a core that gets progressively softer as you move to the centre and which helps reduce spin on long shots. Comes in five color combinations including royal green and premium passion orange. www.srixon-worldwide.com
Fourteen Golf CT-112
Those who appreciate serious craftsmanship and are willing to pay a premium for long drives should consider the new CT-112 driver (HK$6,200) from Fourteen Golf. It features a four-piece composite titanium clubhead and a crown that's been chemically milled thin, along with a multilayered cupface. The proprietary graphite shaft is a lengthy 47 inches long; however, it's designed with extra stability to offset the added length. Comes in two lofts (9°, 10.5°), with a CS-001d graphite shaft. www.fourteengolf.com
