Orlimar 318UC Golf Ball
Golfers looking for a performance golf ball at
a great value will enjoy teeing up Orlimar’s
318UC golf ball. The three-piece golf ball is
designed for golfers looking for maximum
distance off the tee without sacrificing spin
and control around the greens. The soft
TriCast Urethane cover combined with
a high energy release core and a soft
HPF mantle layer produces low spin off
the driver and high spin on approach
shots around the green resulting in greater
feel and control. The 318 dimple pattern
optimizes aerodynamics and lowers spin
rate to achieve tour trajectory off the tee
and superior touch around the greens. The golf
ball is available in a 12 pack for $29.99. www.orlimar.com.
The ProType Black Odyssey
The ProType line was born out of unique putters
crafted for the best players in the world; in fact, the
first ProType putter ever made was the PT82 for Phil
Mickelson. The Odyssey design team has taken feedback from tour players all over the world to create a
line of forged-milled premium putters that offer a
uniquely soft feel while still giving the crisp feedback
of a steel putter. The new Midnight Black head finish
and black powder coat shaft offer a cool twist on an
award winning line of putters. The Black PVD finish
helps reduce glare and creates a distinctive design
including a black powder coat shaft which reduces
glare. The 1025 Carbon Steel Head produces similar
performance characteristics to stainless steel with a
softer feel and the deeper, sharper milling pattern on the
face increases interaction between the face and the ball
for better feel, truer roll and more consistency. www.

Adams Golf New Idea Tech V4 Hybrids
Adams has taken another leap forward in producing
high-performance, easy-to-hit hybrids for a wide range
of golfers with the introduction of the Idea Tech V4 hybrids and
irons. The latest refinement in Velocity Slot Technology features a
revolutionary Cut-Thru design that produces the same CT levels to that
of a driver. “With refined Velocity Slots, we were able to produce a CT around
240, which is what golfers will find in today’s drivers,” said Justin Girard, Senior Design
Engineer. “This is something the industry hasn’t seen in a standard stainless steel
hybrid. The increased CT is going to deliver a higher launch angle and higher ball speeds. Golfers will quickly
notice that these hybrids are as hot as their driver.” Its new design has Velocity Slots in the crown and sole of
the club, and also features a channel that is literally cut through the head of the club from the top slot to the
bottom allowing for even more face deflection. It was important to seal the slots in order to be compliant with
USGA regulations, so the Idea Tech V4 hybrids feature a TPU insert which also improves the feel and give
the hybrids a very crisp sound similar to that of an iron. The Idea Tech V4 all-hybrid set will also be offered in
a set specifically designed for women featuring a satin finish. www.adamsgolf.com. $199
