Bridgestone B330

Bridgestone’s latest iteration of the B330 Series features Hydro Core Technology. That’s right, there’s actually water in the ball’s core. According to the company, engineers discovered that balls with water in their core formulation produce 30 per cent more gradation, which reduces spin from the core’s inner and outer regions, produces longer shots and improves accuracy.

Which new version is right for you? If you have a swing speed under 105mph and want to add distance, play the 3-piece B330-RX. If you want more greenside spin there’s the B330-RXS. For players with swing speeds over 105mph, there’s the revamped 4-piece B330 (for more distance) and B330-S (for more greenside spin). HK$350. www.bridgestonegolf.com

ECCO Street Evo One

It's not easy to find a golf shoe that’s both comfortable and supports aggressive swings. But ECCO believes they’ve produced that exact combo with their latest offering, the Street EVO One. This performance hybrid golf shoe comes in both high-grade cow leather and genuine camel leather versions. But what makes it work is a direct-injected midsole with an integrated shank piece that cups and cushions a player’s heel while creating a stable platform. Both versions feature exclusive ECCO HYDROMAX tanned-in treatment for weather resistance. www.ecco.com
