Galway Bay Updates Rainwear Line

Galway Bay’s All-Weather rainwear line is perfect for travel. It is lightweight, breathable, and designed with fully waterproof Hydro-Flex 32 fabric. The award-winning collection of jackets, pants and pullovers, also known for its ability to block wind and rain, and allow golfers to stretch and move freely while staying warm and dry, showcases classic style and some new fashion-forward touches.

Galway Bay has made its ultra-waterproof Hydro-Flex 32 fabric even lighter and stretchier for better freedom of movement. Also, new colorways in the All-Weather Jacket line include black-on-black, black-on-sage and, for the first time, an eye-catching short-sleeved white jacket with black accents. 

Galway Bay’s All-Weather Pants are now available with a quieter, lighter Hydro-Flex 32 fabric for comfort and ease of motion. The waterproof and windproof pants now come in standard and tailored fit – with a more modern-cut tapered leg – options. Both pants feature belt loops, a seven-inch zipper and nine-inch-deep pockets, are designed to look like and be worn as golf slacks, eliminating the need to dress in layers. Galway Bay’s newest pants are constructed of the improved Hydro-Flex 32 material and can be ordered to fit a golfer’s exact waist and inseam sizes, optimizing comfort, fit and style like no other rain pant ever has.

BIG MAX PUTS GOLFERS IN A SPIN!

Europe’s #1 push cart brand, BIG MAX, is set to put golfers in a spin with the introduction of the latest IQ 360 push cart. The ultra-manoeuvrable push cart combines a 360° rotating front wheel and BIG MAX’s iconic IQ+ design to give golfers unbeatable performance on the course.

“The IQ 360 charts the evolution of one of BIG MAX’s most iconic designs,” comments Rick Oldach, CEO of BIG MAX USA. “The original IQ was designed in the late 1990’s and changed the way push carts were viewed in Europe. It was the first push cart to challenge the boundaries of what could be expected from a folding mechanism. It’s innovative, stylish and does everything you could need. And with the addition of brand new features and a rotating front wheel, the new IQ 360 has taken an iconic push cart that has sold millions across the globe and made it even better.”

The IQ 360 builds on BIG MAX’s first ultra compact design, the IQ. Folding down to a compact cube-like unit, the IQ set the template for push cart folding mechanisms across the world. The latest incarnation of this classic features a convenient hand brake; deluxe organizer panel with double scorecard holder, pencil holder and spacious storage compartment and QL bases on the handle for easy fitting accessories. With the addition of the new rotating front wheel that can be fixed in place for more challenging terrain, the IQ 360 delivers unrivalled manoeuvrability to get golfers round the course with ease. 

Available now from the BIG MAX website for just $289.99, the IQ 360 is packed with features at a great price. And with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty covering all eventualities, this clever trolley guarantees long lived value for money.

Bridgestone Introduces TOUR B XS Tiger Woods Edition Golf Balls

Bridgestone Golf has introduced the 2022 TOUR B XS Tiger Woods Edition golf balls. Like the standard TOUR B XS model, the new TW Edition is a result of a close working relationship between Tiger and Bridgestone’s R&D department and provides TOUR-level performance with long distance and high levels of greenside spin. The new golf balls deliver an exceptional combination of distance and control due to Bridgestone’s breakthrough REACTIV iQ technology, which takes advantage of proprietary impact modifiers in the cover to optimize performance throughout the bag. 

For true Tiger fans, the highlight of the new TOUR B XS Tiger Woods Edition might be the “TIGER,” side stamp, which mimics the actual side stamp used by the 15-time major champion throughout his career. In addition, new commemorative packaging that depicts Tiger’s emotional 15^th major victory makes the new balls equally appropriate for collectors and players.
