In the world of golf equipment, new innovations are constantly being introduced to help players improve their game. One such innovation is the ALIGN MAX grip technology from Golf Pride, a leading manufacturer of golf grips. This revolutionary grip technology is designed to help players of all skill levels maintain consistent hand placement throughout their swing. The original ALIGN technology was a big hit among players on Tour and amateur golfers alike when it debuted in 2017. However, Golf Pride took the feedback they received and developed ALIGN MAX, a second-generation design that features a 25-percent higher ridge to provide maximum feel and consistency. This new grip also includes a longer ridge that runs from the top to the bottom of the grip, giving players the flexibility to adjust their hand placement for any shot.
Golf Pride’s President, James Ledford, believes that ALIGN MAX represents a breakthrough in grip design that will give golfers the confidence they need to perform their best on the course. The original ALIGN technology has already made a name for itself at the highest levels of professional golf, with numerous victories and major championships to its credit. ALIGN MAX recently made its PGA Tour debut at the Farmers Insurance Open and has been well-received by players who prefer the benefits of raised ridge technology. Some of these benefits include consistent hand placement, enhanced clubface awareness, and increased player confidence. ALIGN MAX is now available in MCC and MCC Plus4 grip models in both standard and midsize at major retailers and online stores.
In other golf equipment news, Bettinardi has announced the release of their Super Bowl Champions Collection putter to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory in Super Bowl LIX. This limited-edition putter is precision machined from 303 Stainless Steel and features the Eagles logo nano-engraved on the face. The putter is available in both right-handed and left-handed models and is a limited pre-sale item. Bettinardi is excited to collaborate with the World Champion Eagles on this historic milestone win. Additionally, Mitsubishi Golf has launched the Diamana RB shaft, the final member of the 6th Generation Diamana family. This shaft features advanced technological advancements to promote a Mid to Mid-High launch with mid spin. The Diamana RB uses proven technologies from previous Diamana generations to provide a unique and versatile profile that enhances launch and reduces torque for tighter downrange dispersion with today’s high MOI clubheads.
