Melin Takes Dead Aim with New Links Collection

There are few things in this world I like more than a good hat. There are also few things in this world I need less than another hat (just ask my wife). But, the new Links Collection from Melin has me reaching for my wallet again.

No, honey. You can never have too many hats … especially when they look this dang good!

The Links Collection features 5 distinct styles. Each hat features a different logo or golf-inspired phrase. A simple white and green color scheme completes the golf theme.

In addition to Melin’s typical Hydro hat styles (A-Game, Odyssey, Coronado and Trenches), the brand is using the Links Collection as a soft launch for a new visor, the Hydro Coast.

I sure don’t find the back of the cup very often, but at least I’ll look good running a putt by the hole for the third time.

They are also unquestionably some of the longest-lasting grips in the industry. As such, we are proud to offer an unprecedented 3-year durability guarantee on every grip we make – whether purchased directly from us or from any of our dealers located around the world. If they become hard, slick, or crack within 3 years, just contact us, and we’ll send you a free replacement!”

Star Grips offers four different grips for full-swing clubs: The Sidewinder 350*, which is offered in eight different colors; the Classic Wrap and Tour Star+ 360* in four different colors, and the Smoother Wrap in black. As a bonus, Star Grips also offers a free installation gun when orders exceed $100.
