Balls, irons, putters, wedges, shoes, more balls… ‘New Gear Season’ continues with a series of exciting new launches this week – so, make a brew, for there’s lots to cover.
Half of the Golf Monthly equipment team might be out in Orlando at the PGA Show attending important meetings (playing golf), but some of us, even over Christmas, have been doing some thorough equipment testing.
Where to even start? Let’s go with grips, and the news that Sergio Garcia has joined Team JumboMax.
The former Masters champion, a LIV player since 2022, has opted for the JumboMax Tour Series (size Standard Jumbo).
“It makes the club feel more balanced, and that makes it easier for me to get the club back in line and in front of me when I’m hitting the ball,” says Garcia.
We had a good nose through the Spaniard’s bag at LIV Golf UK back in 2024, and we know how particular he is about every little detail so far as his equipment is concerned, so it’s a massive endorsement for JumboMax to sign one of the best ball strikers in the game.
We should take this opportunity to remind you about the importance of playing with the right grips for your game (even better, just listen to Sergio below).
Talking of LIV, Garcia’s Fireballs GC team will face a new-look 4Aces GC outfit this season, with Dustin Johnson’s side teaming up with Under Armour for the upcoming campaign.
