Balance Certified Golf

Balance Certified Golf presented their Pro-Balance weighting system technology for putters, irons, and woods. The shaft tuning system places the right amount of weight in exactly the right place counter balancing the head and improving feel. The system consists of a metal sleeve that is inserted into the end of the grip. One of three adjustable weights (10, 20, or 30 grams) is then placed in the sleeve once the golfer is fitted properly. Also new is the Power Ring, a device used to easily fit golfers for the Pro-Balance system. The ring places over the shaft and is slid to the butt end of the grip allowing the golfer to hit shots and determine the proper weight needed prior to installation.

Tour Edge Golf introduced the Bazooka JMAX driver and fairway woods and the Equator putter line. The JMAX driver is designed to optimize launch angle and spin rate based on a golfer's swing speed for maximum distance. The optimal launch angle is 12-14 degrees and optimal spin is 2800-3000 rpms for maximum driving distance. The driver features a 410 cc head and Tour Edge proprietary shaft by Fujikura. The Equator putter line is available in two models and features a 100 gram tungsten heel weight in the sole to properly optimize the club's balance keeping the head square through impact. The heel weight represents 30 percent of the 340 gram body producing a high moment of inertia minimizing the motion of the head during off-center hits.
