ECCO Golf – Step forward with BIOM Hybrid 2 ready for Spring-Summer 2015

16 March, 2015 REDACCIÓN

March 16, 2015 – Danish company ECCO has introduced BIOM Hybrid 2, the next-generation of its best-selling style showcasing patented Natural Motion technology and built atop the award-winning E-DTS outsole, distributed in Spain and Portugal by the company Holiday Golf.

Premiering for Spring-Summer 2015, BIOM Hybrid 2 is already worn in competition by Tour star Fred Couples and other ECCO Golf staff players. It is 15% lighter than the original model thanks to an extra-thin midsole that helps bring players closer to the playing surface.

This is complemented by a dual-density TPU outsole. Two-colored to create an inspiring aesthetic, it is harder in areas that need the most stability and softer in key comfort zones.

“We’ve taken what many have declared the world’s most comfortable golf shoe and made it even better,” says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. “That we can do this is a testament to our skill as shoemakers and the drive that pushes us to pioneer new innovations season after season.”

Like all ECCO golf shoes, BIOM Hybrid 2 is created using the advanced Direct-injection Process. This bonds the upper and outsole unit, creating a one-piece shoe construction without the use of glue or stitching. Benefits include an exceptionally water-tight seal, outstanding flexibility and out-of-the-box comfort.

Additional features of BIOM Hybrid 2 include:

Weather Resistance: Naturally soft, breathable and strong yak leather uppers are treated with Hydromax and an anti-stain formula for superb protection from the elements.

Anatomical Last Shape: Developed by scanning the feet of 2,500 athletes to provide ideal levels of support.

Tour-Proven Traction: Constructed from TPU – a highly durable, wear-resistant material – the molded traction bars offer hundreds of traction angles for superb grip.

Technical Insole System: A new, ultra-premium insole with silicon printing helps prevent unwanted foot movement during the swing.

In addition to Fred Couples, the ECCO men’s golf collection is worn in competition by Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Thomas Bjorn, Thongchai Jaidee, Marcel Siem, Andreas Harto, Wu Ashun, Will Wilcox, JB Hansen and scores of other Tour stars worldwide.

RRP: 189 €.

Bettinardi Golf – New H2 Wedge with impeccable blend of performance and design

10 March, 2015 REDACCIÓN

March 10, 2015 – Bettinardi Golf, makers of the highest quality precision milled putters in the world, is introducing this 2015 its new product offering into the wedge category, the H2 Wedge.

Since 1998, Robert Bettinardi has sought to produce a perfectly crafted wedge. With the culmination of his experience in engineering, expertise, and quality control, Bettinardi found an impeccable blend of performance and design that suited his most discerning eye.

The new H2 wedge series from Bettinardi combines the finest look and ultimate playability in a forged wedge. “H2 stands for High Helix, which is an aggressive machine tool that cuts the face of each wedge at an extremely rapid rate on a CNC machine,” says Robert Bettinardi, President/CEO of Bettinardi Golf.

“This face milling leaves a unique, USGA-approved milling pattern that provides maximum spin and improved contact”. The milled grooves on the face generate a very distinctive feel, while still producing the proper amount of spin from both wet and dry conditions.

The Bettinardi wedges feature a tour inspired C-Grind sole that allows the leading edge to rest on the ground slightly longer at impact. This particular grind makes open face wedge shots easier to execute, and allows for more forgiveness on mid-range approaches and provides versatility on all wedge shots.

The Bettinardi H2 wedges are available in two durable right-handed finishes. Satin Nickel delivers a classic, glare-resistant look while Cashmere Bronze provides an elegant and confidence inspiring appearance at address.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Loft/bounce: 52º/8º, 56º/12º, 60º/8º.

Lie: 64º

Shaft lenght: 35 3/8”, 35 1/4”, 35 1/8”

Torrequebrada Golf – New style and revamped design for the golf shop of the club

8 March, 2015 REDACCIÓN

March 8, 2015 – At the start of the season, Torrequebrada Golf Club, in Benalmádena (Malaga, Spain), has completely refurbished and redecorated its shop with the collaboration and advice of Holiday Golf, after signing a special agreement with this major distributor of golf products, clothes and accessories. Holiday Golf is the largest supplier in Spain and Portugal, with the most extensive range of golf-related brands.

“Holiday Golf has provided us with key support in renovating our shop, which we hadn’t really touched since 1995”, explains the club’s General Manager Francisco Ruiz. “We’ve completely changed it and now it has a much more modern look and we can display the products much better”.

Torrequebrada has undergone a change of mentality when it comes to the shop. “Of course, because for us the shop was nothing more than a service that we ‘had’ to provide clients with. Now we see it as another very important business option for the club. We aim to make it profitable rather than leave it unkempt.”

Since carrying out the changes, the increase in sales is evident. “A great deal. The first month of the ‘new’ shop we nearly doubled sales, which was our minimum objective. This is a commitment for the future, and we’re sure that the small investment we’ve made will be very profitable.”

The changes also include the incorporation of exclusive staff to take care of the shop, which is producing very good results. Now the members and visitors feel they are being looked after and assisted as soon as they arrive at the club.

In the main golf brands there are “Ecco shoes, which represent a sure and winning bet. Also Bridgestone golf balls – we now sell lots of them – and all the women’s clothes that we didn’t have before. Also”, adds the club General Manager, “with the help of Holiday Golf we have modernised the design of our logos for embroidering and printing on our clothes and caps, and this is working very well. Now they have a very American style, and are greatly influenced by the year the club opened in 1976”, ends Francisco Ruiz.

Golf Bags, Holiday Golf

Ogio Golf – Chamber, a silent Cart Bag for maximum club protection

30 December, 2014 MIGUEL ANGEL BUIL

December 30, 2014 – Ogio, a leading global brand in sports bags for endurance, motorcycling and golf activities, has one of the most original bags for golf clubs that can be found in the market, the Chamber Cart Bag.

Its originality lies in the incorporation of The Silencer Protection System, which consists of an opening for each of the 14 golf clubs. The system acts as a membrane that centres and holds each club by the shaft. This ensures that the clubs are held apart, thus preventing any damage caused by contact.

The compression-fit base holds each club grip and prevents the clubs from moving about. Even if the bag is overturned, the clubs do not fall out.

This results in superb protection for the clubs, notably reducing the irritating clanking sound when carrying the bag on the buggy, or from the car park to the clubhouse. This way, the clubs are kept in good condition for considerably longer.

The Chamber Cart Bag features a 14-way Diamond top divider, a zipperless ball pocket, nine zippered pockets, an insulated cooler pocket, and another lined pocket for valuables, including a mobile phone sleeve. This is a highly recommended product for demanding golfers who care about their golf equipment.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

14-way Diamond Performance cart top with advanced Silencer club protection membrane and integrated handles

Silencer club management system

ZBP (Zipperless Ball Pocket)

RPP (Red Protection Pocket) crush resistant

Cart strap channel

10 pockets (9 zippered)

Insulated zippered cooler pocket

Weather-resistant lined valuables pocket with cell phone sleeve

EVA molded fleece-lined vault

Pen sleeve and divot tool sleeve

RRP: 349 €
