The L5V driver is a successor to the L4V, the model with which staff pro Camilo Villegas recently won the PGA Tour's Tour Championship.
Technological advancements in the L5V include the largest driver face Cobra has ever made, a lightweight carbon composite that helps shift the center of gravity even lower, and a choice between standard and draw-biased faces.
A swingweight screw is specifically weighted to match stock shafts, while 30 custom shaft options are available. The drivers are Speed Tuned to match various players' swing and balls speeds.
Shipping began just this week, with a suggested retail price of $480.
Mizuno: Three forged and one cast set of irons are being introduced.
For the more skilled player, the company is offering an MP-62 blade with a small cavity and thin sole, along with an MP-52 set featuring a slightly larger Dual Muscle cavity and larger sole.
For players seeking greater game improvement, Mizuno has the forged MX-200 cavityback irons and a cast MX-100 set with integrated hybrids and greater forgiveness.
Suggested retail prices range from $700 to $1,200, depending on the set and its composition.
Titleist: New drivers and putters are both on tap.
Three models of drivers arrive later this month in what's labeled as the 909 series. The 909D2, 909D3 and 909DComp are engineered to deliver different launch and spin characteristics. They also represent slightly different geometric shapes.
The DComp is geared for more average golfers, with a high degree of MOI stability and a high launch trajectory.
List prices are $500 for the D2 and D3 drivers, $600 for the DComp.
In putters, Titleist has extended it Scotty Cameron Studio Select lineup with four new offerings: Squareback 1, Fastback 1, Newport 2.6, Newport 2.7. The Newports are heel/toe blade craftings. The Fastback is a mid-mallet design with a rounded flange, while the Squareback features a squared flange in the rear.
As premium products, the new Scotty Cameron putters have a suggested retail price of $325.
Nike: Victory Red is the name of a family of irons Nike will begin shipping in November. There are three models: Forged TW Blades, Forged Split Cavity and Victory Red.
The TW blades feature a more traditional muscleback and more modified backpad with a slightly thicker toe than Nike's original Blades.
The Split Cavity irons have a moderately wider sole and slightly thicker topline, while maintaining a traditional look and high degree of workability.
The basic Victory Red set offers a full cavity iron with a wide sole, thick topline and moderate offset, features that should yield greater forgiveness and appeal to the average golfer.
List prices for the Victory Red sets range $799.99 to $999.99.
Ping: After two years, Ping is replacing its multimaterial Rapture series of clubs with the Rapture V2 models, along with introducing tour-style S57 irons and a series of iWi putters. It's a substantial introduction overall, which just began shipping at the end of September.
