All the Gear: Galvin Green C-Knit suits go down a storm at Turnberry

Equipment editor James Savage gives his weekly round-up of what’s new in the world of golf gear.
 

I’m calling it, the golf season has arrived.

Some of us are still on mats and temporary greens but it was 10˚C in Leeds this week so surely that’s cause for celebration.

And it was also nothing short of sensational at Turnberry for our Galvin Green C-Knit reader test this week.

Maybe not ideal for testing waterproofs but we had some excellent feedback on the new suits and will be bringing you full reviews very soon.

I’ve also been down at Woburn testing out more shoes from Under Armour’s 2017 footwear range.

Having already tested the excellent Spieth One and Tempo Hybrids, I had a go with the Tour Tips and Performance Spikeless on the Marquess Course.

I’m just waiting for my samples of the Tempo Sport then will bring you a review rounding up the entire range. (Yes I’ll have five pairs of Under Armour shoes, so what?)

Anyway, while I’ve been out and about you may have missed the below new releases…

Bushnell Pro X2

Bushnell’s latest laser is the compact Pro X2 which has a button on the side to switch between slope and non-slope modes making it competition legal.

It also feature’s Bushnell’s superb Jolt technology which vibrates when you’ve locked on to the pin. (SRP: £449)

Full details can be found on the Bushnell website.

Motocaddy M1 Pro DHC
