WHAT'S NEW
COBRA F:MAX
THE FULL PACKAGE
T
he new F-max line from Cobra is available in stores
now, and brings back the familiar and easy-to-hit
clubs in a package that is lighter and more forgiving than
ever before. Designed for mid-to-high handicap-
pers and players with moderate swing speeds,
the clubs are configured to produce longer and
straighter shots with more consistency.
"This falls into Cobra's super game-improve-
ment category," said Ted Shandi, a club fitter at
the Van's Golf Shop in Phoenix. "They're great for men
on the verge of going from regular flex to senior flex, as
well as for ladies. It's a very forgiving set of golf clubs. For
someone just getting into golf, it would be a phenomenal
set to start with."
The driver comes in a traditional model and an offset
model, which allows for higher trajectories and a draw
bias. The irons – also with an offset hosel – are draw
weighted, with more mass in the heel and a
lower center of gravity for improved ball
flight. Of note, the irons are also available in
a single-length option, a concept popular-
ized by Cobra staff member and budding
PGA Tour star Bryson DeChambeau.
"Other manufacturers offer similar clubs, but
not with the added attributes of them being lightweight,
offset and draw-biased," Shandi said. "People who have hit
them love them. It has been a popular line." SHOP HERE.

ECCO S:DRIVE
FANCY FOOTWEAR
E
ver since Fred Couples first wore ECCO's
ground-breaking, spikeless and casual-look-
ing golf shoes at the 2010 Masters, the com-
pany has been at the forefront of style when it
comes to golf footwear. It has taken another step
forward with the introduction of the ECCO S-Drive,
which comes in five color schemes that make the
shoes look more like they belong at the start line
of a marathon than the first tee.
With bright colors and a running shoe design,
they're great for golfers who may feel the saddle-
shoe look is too traditional for their tastes and for
whom comfort is paramount.
"ECCO is already one of the most popular shoes
out there and among the best-made shoes on the
planet," said Tom Ashton, the general manager at
the Edwin Watts store in Jacksonville, Florida.
"They're really the breakthrough company that
brought the spikeless shoe to the forefront."
They're not just great-looking shoes, though.
They feature an asymmetrical closure system for
support and stability, and the outsole combines
traction, flexibility and durability. SHOP HERE.
