Alan Electronics Hall B6.435/532
Digital training system helps you to achieve a more efficient putting technique. Alan Electronics is presenting a putter, which analyzes the decisive factors during putting and provides visual feedback and statistics after each putt. The DIXX Putter uses innovative technology for this as it is only found in highly developed, electro-mechanical systems in space travel. The data from the moment of impact are recorded for their trajectory, club head angle and centrifugal force. As a result, golfers receive visual feedback with multifaceted data about their putting and reasons for possible errors after each putt. DIXX is recommended by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) of Germany.

Bridgestone Hall B5.310
Bridgestone is expanding its "Gravity Chamber" product line with hybrids in ladies' models. Color, including a two-color model, characterize the golf ball "Lady iQ 180", which is the softest ball on the market according to the manufacturer. The corresponding model for men, the "Distance iQ 180", has a core with increasing compression to the outside. The new club series "SA-71 IV" from PRECEPT has an aerodynamic trapezoid muscle design and an innovative sole.

Brubaker Golf Fashion Hall B6.315
Brubaker Golf has already established itself in Denmark with its strategy of combining the best from fashion and golf. The label comes from the Danish and European fashion industry, where Brubaker has been producing business and fashion clothing for men for 20 years and always has put priority on quality.

Callaway Golf Hall B5.319/418
In the "FT-i Squareway", the multi-material fairway wood, which has now been introduced to go with the FT-i Driver, the weight is distributed to the outermost edge zones, and the shape is - as the name lets you guess - square like that of the driver. A similar concept is used for the new FT iron; 80% of its club head weight is in the edge zone (high MOI) while an ultra-thin titanium impact surface insert generates optimum ball speed. On the other hand, a completely titanium head and 440 ccm as well as a light draw-weighting and somewhat longer shaft provide more club head speed and characterize the new "Big Bertha" ladies' driver (with fairway woods in steel to go with it). Another novelty for ladies: The "I-Brids" – a club type, which combines the elements of classic irons with those of hybrids into iron with an extra wide sole. Odyssey presents the "X-act" "PuttingWedge", an aid for chip putts, for successful play on the greens. You move it like a putter, but its loft lets the ball take a shorter trajectory.

Cobra Hall B5.323/422
The Cobra L4V Driver with exclusive "Cobra/Mitsubishi Diamana Red Board" shafts have a dynamic shaft balance. This means that the balance point of the shaft is closer in the direction of the grip than in other drivers. In combination with the low shaft weight, more mass is distributed to the club head and a higher MOI can be achieved. This shaft system for high MOI maximizes ball speed and accuracy for every type of player.

FootJoy Hall B5.323/422
The popular "DryJoys" models are coming with new soles. The combination of stable base on one hand and flexible zones on the other ensure optimum Flextability™ - precise stability and flexibility for optimum swing support with maximum ground contact. Pure luxury: FootJoy now also offers the "Classics" series FootJoy in exclusive crocodile, lizard and ostrich leather. Of course, tailor-made. On the other hand, the new "Athletic" series focuses on a leisure-time look and sneaker comfort. "Contour IV" is the ultimate golf shoe for women conscious of function and fashion. The "Red Label" functional clothing has been expanded with models for ladies and men.

GIS Hall B5.432
A putter is behind the company name "Golf It Straight" (GIS), which functions according to the sighting notch/aiming sight principle. The sighting notch is worked into the butt end of the grip as a slot in this case. You see the orientation lines on the putter back. This principle enables more accuracy than traditional markings with lines. Approved by R&A.

Golf-back-ball Hall B6.243
Practice at home as on a driving range; Golf-back-ball makes it possible! The Golf-back-ball, a patented world first, communicates a realistic feeling of a real hit. Depending on the available space (min. 18 m long and 6 m wide), the golfer determines the length of flight of a ball; the adjustable, elastic rope on the ball ensures that the ball is pulled back to the ground and rolls back the last meters to the teeing zone. The golfer can then hit the ball again immediately from there. Consequently, he is in a slightly changed hitting position each time. This makes practicing with the Golf-back-ball very varied and easy. Supplier: Sandera & Herbold GmbH & Co KG.

Honma Hall B5.330
The Japanese noble smithy is aiming at good and top players with new products with new products such as the drivers ONMA BERES MG 812 (420 ccm) and TW913 (440 ccm) as well as the irons HONMA BERES MG802 (with ultra-thin hitting impact surface insert) and TW 903 (made of soft forged steel with a very homogeneous structure and in complex shape. The TW in the 9 series (very good players and pros) stands for Tour World.

Mizuno Hall B5.322/322A
The elegant "MP-600" with "Fast Track" is Mizuno's ultimate driver for 2008 to enable golfers to achieve great ball flight distance while still conforming to rules. The adjustable "Fast Track" system enables defined weight distribution along two pins running on rail in the back part of the club head, which is screwed into the two weight pins. The ball flight can be influenced somewhat depending on the position. The driver MX-560 is different; a streamline profile ensures easy playing here. An "Energy" impact surface slightly curved to the outside (just within the limits of R&A and USGA) provides some ball flight correction automatically. The new hybrid clubs "MX-950" have a "Power Bar" in the “ in the club head and – unique- make these models adjustable for lie and loft. Thanks to an additional milling process, the new putters of the BC series leave just 30% of the face material in contact with the ball. The result: a unique sensation.

Nike Hall B5.221/318
The new putter "IC" (i.e., "I see") is a real eye-catcher, which is almost totally green and disappears against the background of a green. But the aim line is that much more visible! The new "SUMO²" goes to the limits of that permitted with an MOI of 5900 to provide optimum forgiveness. A standard shaft length of 45 3/4" was selected to achieve long drives. Fairway woods and hybrids are also offered in "square look" to go with it for 2008. The new irons "Sumo" and "Sumo²" as well as the "Slingshot 4D" cover various playing preferences. The fitting system 360° makes it possible to find the appropriate club quickly and easily.

Remington Hall B6.234
The "Birdieputt" putting trainer provides fast and concrete feedback about the quality of putt movements. The setup: two triangles, which are connected via a crosspiece, create the putting path. A ball hangs down from the crosspiece and lies on a putting mat. If you hit the ball correctly, it rotates around the crosspiece. Any deviation is signaled by hitting one of the "posts" of the triangle and the consequently generated sound. Putts hit in the middle become established in your muscle memory.

SpineTee® DRIVING RANGE Hall B6.209
Presents an optimized, tee, which can now be adjusted for height, with five different settings. The tee receptacle can be moved up and down using a flexible inner part.

Titleist Hall B5.323/422
The reworked NXT golf balls introduced in the summer have a higher MOI and a toothed seam, so that they become harder to the outside. The trademark of the new "PT 906F2" fairway wood is a sole, which increases slightly upward and shifts the center of gravity closer to the guideline. On the other hand, the center of gravity of the "906F4" wood, also with the same sole, is far to the back as traditionally. The "Red-X" putters are available in reworked form in the models "Red X3" and "Red X5" with new glare-free anthracite finish.

United Golfers Hall B5.209
The "Free-Release Balance Trainer" is a new exercise device for leg motor functions at golf swing both for tournament players and ambitious golfers. Legwork can be trained in a targeted manner with it, and muscles are built up gently. You already improve precision and distance between 5 and 35% after a few exercise sessions of four minutes each.

US Kids Golf Hall B5.335
The specialist for children's and young people's golf clubs is introducing more fine-tuning for children's golf clubs. The new intermediate sizes "Orange" and "Tangerine" are being placed between the systems "Blue" and "Green" as well as "Lavender" and "Lime". The distance between the individual color-coded systems is 15 cm. In addition, the colors "Yellow" and "Mango" have been renamed "Gold" and "Lemon" and have been given an adapted design. Club head weight, shaft, grip weight and thickness increase with the size to do justice to the growing size and strength of players. In addition to the ultralight series, U.S. Kids Golf deals with the special needs of high-performance kids with the Tour series. Five sizes categories with gradations of 7.5 cm are available for heights between 130 cm and 170 cm. The Tour series no longer identified as a kid's club with the US Kids logo, but instead only with the letters USK. As a result, they looks like clubs adults use, but are adapted to the ergonomy of children and young people. U.S. Kids Golf™ offers a total of 15 different systems for beginnings, skilled plays, girls and boy with its two series.

Wilson Hall B5.315
A striking crown super-structure is the identifying feature of the "Spine" drivers with perimeter weighting (an attempt is made to distribute as much weight as possible at the end of the club) and a high MOI (moment of inertia), which will already be sold at the end of 2007. Midsize design, undercut cavity and an ultra-thin face are the characteristics of the new iron "Ci7". The tournament model for it – Padraig Harrigton won the British Open with it before the official market launch – is the iron "Pi7". The "Px3 Soft Spin" provides a previously unattainable ball feeling, the first 3-piece golf ball with a "zero compression" core. The objective compression of a total of only 50 ShoreD is the lowest, which is still permitting by the regulating agency. As a completely new club type, Wilson is presenting the "Fybrids", a separate series of "Long Distance Fairway Utility", clubs that span the range between drivers and 6-irons. They combine the qualities of fairway woods, hybrids and irons in newly devised specifications. Example: The FYbrid 19.5° with 41" length as replacement for 2-iron, a hybrid 2 or wood 7. Another focal point is the brand new "Women-Luxe" collection of 400 ccm drivers from separate balls all the way to fashionable cart bag and accessories.

Yamato Hall B5.316
In striving to provide each golfer with excellent quality at a reasonable price, Yamato is presenting a beginner's set for right- and left-handers for 2008, which is an unbeatable value for your money. Another special feature is the new, forged wedges with milled Y grooves.
