Special Ryder Cup putters made for Garcia and Reed
By James Savage
We’re all enjoying the Tour Championship and Portugal Masters but everyone’s minds are on the Ryder Cup at Le Golf National next week.
Especially Sergio Garcia and Partick Reed who have been using special Ryder Cup putters this week.
Garcia’s Toulon Design Rose Gold Atlanta model has yellow and gold stars to mark each year he has been a player or vice-captain at the event.
Patrick Reed, who is a free agent when it comes to his clubs, has been testing out a custom model from Scotty Cameron.
This ‘Tour Only’ Tour Rat model has Captain America stamped on the heel and toe pads – obviously.
But seeing as we still have a week to go before the 2018 matches get underway let’s take a look at some of the new equipment releases you may have missed.

Cobra introduce new F-Max Superlite range
Cobra say their new F-Max Superlite woods are their easiest to hit – ever.
Building on the success of the original F-MAX family, first introduced in 2017, the new drivers and fairway are significantly lighter offering more club speed, distance and easier launch.
They’ve also added some new irons and hybrids to the range which are also incredibly light and easy to hit.
