The new Powakaddy Touch is is incredibly easy to use as Lee Manvell PowaKaddy's Group Product Manager explains, "Traditional electric golf trolleys use a roller to control the speed but the new PowaKaddy TOUCH has a new intuitive but simple mechanism. It has no roller; instead the handle is touch sensitive and slides forwards and backwards with ease. To use simply rest your hand on the handle, start walking and the trolley will respond to your speed. As you slow, so will the Powakaddy Touch N Go. Take your hand off and it will maintain that speed".

There are some stylish and functional finishing touches too including a comfortable soft touch grip allowing for ambidextrous handling and a versatile bag grip which when used with a PowaKaddy bag provides zero movement and twist due to the key lock base. Simple to fold with a modern oversized aluminium construction, the PowaKaddy TOUCH stands upright when folded making it easy to lift and stow for transit.

Callaway Golf will have the next generation X Series irons available in the couple of weeks. The new Callaway X-24 Hot Irons, available starting on May 28th in the US, is the next generation in the company's long standing X-Series of irons. As the name implies, the latest addition is said to produce faster ball speeds across the clubface and deliver maximum distance throughout the bag, according to Callaway. The X-24s continue the tradition in the X-Series with the inclusion of Callaway's proprietary VFT Face Technology and 360-degree undercut channel. What is different about these irons is a new Stealth PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Finish that reduces glare by offering a darker appearance than most irons. "The X-24 Hot Irons are the latest evolution of our award-winning X-Series Irons, which have helped make Callaway the No. 1 Irons company in the game for the last 13 consecutive years," stated Dr. Alan Hocknell , Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Callaway Golf. "We recognize there are golfers looking for distance gains throughout their entire bag, and thus employed our core technologies and faster ball speeds into the design of Callaway X-24 Hot, a longer, more accurate set than any of their predecessors."
It is unknown as to when they will be available in te UK however Callaway normally launch products worldwide at about the same time.

For 2010, TaylorMade introduced two new products conforming to the newest golf equipment standards. As the competition goes stiffer, and rules stricter, the need for innovative gears has been sought for and of course; without breaking the regulations.
Since the last quarter of 2009, we've been hearing the buzz about the SuperTri R9 driver and Burner Superfast. Many have been intrigued especially on the new model of burner as TaylorMade boasted of its astonishing features; the best one they ever made in its lightest form.
What's in the Burner Superfast?
TaylorMade broke their own record this year as they presented the latest addition to their Burner family. Since Burner 07, Burner Superfast is perhaps and considered the most successful driver in the manufacturer's history. Many critics commended about its sophistication lifting the collection to the next level.
Weighing only about 284 grams, this driver is the lightest amongst its brothers. It is 14 grams lighter than Burners' 07 and 09, which adds amazing distance and speed to the golfer's gameplay. It also has a unique design, highlighted by its integration of aerodynamic features and an additional high moment of inertia, carved and instilled in its 460cc clubhead for better forgiveness.
Burner Superfast's new bulge and roll design is a superb match to TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology. This combination guarantees distance and forgiveness even on off centre hits.
A longer and lighter shaft, the Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 also comes with this driver. It drives a better spin and more ball speed for extra distance. At 46.5 inches, it gives an extensive and quick swing arc. This is further enhanced by the club's Dual Crown that acts on its center of gravity pulling it back for better launch angles and increased spin.
If you prefer a lighter approach to hitting that hole, the latest addition to the TaylorMade family might give you that advantage you need. Even for the average golfer, Burner Superfast can definitely help you achieve that winning streak.
If you're a golfer searching for golf equipment incorporating the latest technology, this latest collection might be what you're looking for. Every one in the golf industry is curious and stunned with the newest buzz regarding TaylorMade's 2010 collection. All enthusiasts are excited to lay their hands on their new products.
According to sources, TaylorMade is set to release two different and innovative products early this year: the R9 SuperTri Driver and SuperFast Burner.
The R9 Super Tri Drivers has incorporated almost the same elements as the current TaylorMade R9 460. It also weighs about 3 weight ports total covered in a smooth flawless black finish.
Critics say that the all-black head of SuperTri is a remincent of R7 SuperQuad, one of the claimed popular clubs of TaylorMade. The difference, however, is in its size. It has a 420cc head, three changeable weights and a structure that enables golfers to take off the clubhead and re-attach it to the shaft in one of eight various positions. This feature is responsible for making this driver more forgiving compared to the original R9.
Its center of gravity is moved lower 2 millimeters back in the head, which provides a higher launch with slightly more spin for greater carry distance. This center is lower compared to the original R9. The face is also the deepest amongst all the TaylorMade collection.
The R9 SuperTri has four lofts (8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5°) and with a Fujikura Motore 60-gram shaft in one of five flexes (L, M, R, S, X). The R9 SuperTri TP also has the same head with a choice of 10 premium shafts, including the Aldila Voodoo, Mitsubishi Fubuki and Matrix Ozik.
Actually, Japan has made their versions of R9 Type E, Burner Forged Irons, & several new putters. While many has approved the Japanese version, the American version is yet to awe the world with its TaylorMade R9 SuperTri.
Comfort may be the highly regarded factor in sports clothing but no golfer wants to walk out on the course looking like a chunk of mess. There are so many manufacturers of sports apparel in the market. However, not all of them can combine style and comfort and durability in one garment.
Though highly known for its waterproofs, more than 40% of the latestGalvin Green Golf clothing collection features non-waterproof apparels for the fashion thirsty golfer. This answers the continuous demands on apparel not only on rainy days on the greens, but also during the days under the summer sun.
Galvin Green Golf maintains their well-known technology for waterproofs in their other garments. But what's amazing is how they've combined performance and fashion into one.
Function and fashion
Most think that fashion and function doesn't collide. Well, it is indisputable that style is the least factor considered in making uniforms and other gaming attires. And that's exactly the reason why Galvin Green Golf explored this notion.
Galvin Green Golf pioneered complete comfort and protection with multi-layer structure. Their exclusive line has a full range of high-tech garments designed to match and function in spite of the weather.
The manufacturer has also taken advantage of Gore-Tex; the fabric that made Galvin Green waterproofs a hit. The fabrics and garments are all designed to work together to be breathable all the way through so that you can stay fresh and at the right temperature keeping out any distracting element.
No wonder they've been on the top of National Club Golf magazine for years. For three years, this manufacturer has been recognized as the 'Best on Test' by this magazine, as well as other publications.
All collections are available for both men and women and junior size.
