Cobra F8 & F8+ with Arccos technology

COBRA's most technologically advanced driver featuring a forged CNC milled Titanium face with E9 Technology™.
The F8, which offers a larger, more forgiving profile, has a port in the heel and back of the head that alter draw-bias and launch; the F8+, which boasts a more compact profile, has a port in the back of the head and one right behind the face to dial-in launch and spin.
CNC milling yields more precise face thickness controls compared to hand-polishing, allowing COBRA engineers to design a thinner and faster conforming face.
Cobra Connect now includes a driver tuning feature which takes data from rounds recorded with the system and leverages Arccos’ AI to make recommendations on club setting adjustments to improve your driving.

Arguably Cobra’s most exciting and technically advanced range to date.

The range is led by the F8 and F8+ drivers, both of which feature the brand’s first ever CNC Milled Driver Face, allowing for a thinner, faster, and more precise face.

The F8 and F8+ are also the first Cobra product to offer the option of an ONE LENGTH club throughout the set. The idea is to deliver ultimate consistency and simplicity to help improve your game.

Meanwhile, every club in the range features Cobra Connect, Powered By Arccos. This is one of the most innovative equipment advancements in the last decade and features electronically embedded sensors in the grip which automatically record the distance and accuracy of every shot. This information is then sent directly to the COBRA CONNECT/Arccos 360 mobile app.

From here users can review their performance data and access rangefinder GPS distances for more than 40,000 courses worldwide.

GolfShot GPS

Along with a database of 40,000-plus courses, depicted vividly in brilliant, zoom-able aerial views, Golfshot also sports shot-tracking technology that displays your performance in cool colored graphics.
Track and record each shot and clubs used.
An upgraded option, the Apple Watch-compatible Golfshot Pro, gives you access to a range of added perks, including personalized club suggestions and 3D flyovers of each hole.

If you’re looking for an affordable GPS option, then GolfShot might be for you.

Despite featuring real-time distances to over 40,000+ courses, this is much more than just your everyday golf app. Users can track and record every shot hit, which then translates to on-the-spot club recommendations.

Other features include advanced scoring with Skins, Nassau, and Match Play games, access to 3D course flyovers, and the ability to search, book, and enjoy up to 80% off GolfNow tee times.

A brand agnostic fitter, the state-of-the-art facilities stock all the shafts and clubs from the major manufacturers. If you think your game isn’t good enough for a fitting, then you’d be wrong.

GolfBeer Brewing Co (golfbeer.com)

The three beers — G-Mac's Celtic Style Pale Ale, Keegan Bradley's New England Style Lager and Freddie Jacobson's Scandinavian Style Blonde Ale.
Golf courses have begun offering craft beers in addition to major-label beers such as Miller Lite and Budweiser.
With the help of Florida-based brewer The Brew Hub, PGA tour members Graeme McDowell, Keegan Bradley and Freddie Jacobson are teeing up a line of new craft beers targeting golfers.

Golf and beer. That might sound like a combination you already know a little too much about.

Three PGA Tour pros, Freddie Jacobson, Keegan Bradley and Graeme McDowell founded GolfBeer Brewing Company back in 2014.

G-Mac’s preference is a Celtic Style Pale Ale. McDowell describes his beer as the punchiest of the three. Nonetheless, with 5% alcohol by volume, it’s also very conducive to drinking a few on the golf course or in the clubhouse after your round.

We can’t promise it will make you play any better, but it’s sure to make those bad shots a little less painful.

TaylorMade Spider Tour

The Spider putter teams a light aluminium body with a heavier 304 stainless steel frame to create a very high MOI and forgiving putter - so it's no wonder Sergio Garcia put it in to play en-route to his first major title at the Masters.
The putterhead has 13 pieces, including a heavy steel frame that bolsters the hollow aluminum body. There are two roll-enhancing insert options: Surlyn for a softer feel and milled aluminum for a sharper click.
With perimeter weighting for added stability and an added sightline to zero in the player's focus, Spider Tour provides a stroke of confidence to help golfers drain more putts when they matter most.

The putter of choice for World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, the TaylorMade Spider is now a regular feature on both the PGA and European Tour.

The sheer amount of top 50 players choosing the Spider is a testament to its quality. Face inserts are model specific for the players they were designed for. Red is softer for Jason Day and Black is firmer for DJ. Nonetheless, the brand’s Pure Roll Technology, combining 45° grooves with a softer polymer to increase topspin, means both models roll remarkably well.

The club’s unique shape is designed to stabilise the putter head, with perimeter weighting helping to minimise the negative effect of off-centre hits.
