Mulholland’s first travel gear was based on 19th century satchels, and some of its current best sellers have been in the repertoire for nearly 20 years.

GroundworK froM adidas GolfThe new Tour360 4.0 is lower to the ground than any shoe ever made by adidasGolf, thanks to THiNtech and PINS, both exclusive to the company through 2011. For 15 years, most golf footwear manufacturers have relied on two fastening systems, Fast-Twist and Qfit, which both include a receptacle in the sole

and a removable cleat. When fitted with conventional cleat attachment systems we

believe this left the sole too thick and bulky. THiNtech brought the golfer’s foot (and center of gravity) closer to the

ground and a Performance Insert System (PINS) cut thickness by 30

percent.Retailing at $180. See adidasgolf.com

SCotty faStBaCK to MarKetAfter a Tour-proven season, the Fastback 1 mallet putter from Scotty Cameron is on the market. Cameron refined the Fastback to include an offset, double-bend shaft for those seeking a nearly face-balanced putter, a clean look at address and a balanced feel throughout the stroke. The Fastback 1’s sleek lines will remind Scotty fans of the Newport, including the milled sight line. However, the rounded flange gave the Fastback its name. It maintains the same headweight as other Studio Select models, but has a slightly thicker topline, precision-milled 303 stainless-steel head, and factory interchangeable weights.

Personalization is possible.See scottycameron.com

JawS wedGeSRegardless of the era in which he plied his craft, Roger Cleveland would be hailed as a giant of the game.
