L.A.B. Golf unveiled their new blade putter last month, the L.A.B Golf Link.1. If you missed it, don’t feel bad. We had a great many golf products cross our screens and inboxes last month. Some of them were bound to get lost in the glossy deluge of newness. A single new putter from a small putter company doesn’t stand much of a chance of being noticed when the big players in golf are throwing millions at the public’s attention.

Now that the new release season has calmed down a bit, it seems like an ideal time to take a longer look at the Link.1. What makes this new putter different from the previous L.A.B. putters? More importantly, what separates the Link.1 from other blade putters in the marketplace?

Even more importantly, how does the L.A.B. Link.1 roll the ball?

Two years after the successful launch of the ZG21 spiked golf shoe, adidas is introducing the all-new ZG23. The three-stripes brand is confident  the two-year hiatus will be worth it, claiming the all-new ZG23 should boast increased traction, stability and comfort.

The Details

Five models including men’s and women’s laced, men’s and women’s BOA, and a watered-down laced variant for junior golfers.Available on adidas.com starting March 3.Retail is $200 for the laced variant, $220 for BOA.

What’s New?

The ZG21 was a stand-out performer in our Best Spiked Golf Shoes of 2022 testing so it would be safe to assume adidas stuck with that proven formula for the ZG23, right?

Wrong.

Why do you think it took two years to replace its predecessor? The ZG23 has been completely retooled, including an entirely new upper and midsole design.

Key Takeaways:

Cleveland adds Black Satin and Tour Rack (raw) finishes.Tour Rack offers additional custom sole and leading-edge grinds.Black Satin $169.99; Tour Rack $189.99 (custom grinds included)At retail March 1

The two new finishes for the new Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore wedges aren’t really new. And they aren’t really a surprise, either.

We knew they were coming back in January. We just didn’t know when. Now we do.

The two new-not-really-new finishes are Tour Rack and Black Satin. Cleveland added both finishes to the original ZipCore lineup in the fall of 2020. And, if you want to get technical, it’s really only one finish since Tour Rack is unplated and, well, raw.

Of the two, the Tour Rack is definitely the most interesting. Since it’s raw, Cleveland is giving you the ability to custom grind the sole and leading edge to your exact specifications. Just like that, it came the, ahem, Tour Rack.

If you’re a sole grind geek, it’ll give you plenty to geek out about.

The new Rain Rooster rain golf glove is the answer to a question you only think about when it’s raining. And even then you might not think to ask it.

And that question is: Why the hell can’t anyone make a rain glove that, you know, works?

The answer, courtesy of the gang at Red Rooster, is you can make a rain glove that works.

But you have to want to.
