Big Bertha B21 Driver
Big Bertha is back, and she’s here to help. Thirty years ago innovative club maker Ely Callaway unleashed the first Big Bertha driver, the first of many oversized drivers to follow. Now Callaway has revived what might be the best name ever for a bashing club with the Big Bertha B21 driver, designed not just for distance but even more for helping high-handicap players hit fewer bad shots. The B21 positions the center of gravity low and forward to reduce spin, thus reducing the sidespin that causes bad shots to become worse shots. ($499. callawaygolf.com)
On Point Markers
What’s my line? It’s every putter’s question, and why many golfers and golf ball manufacturers began using guiding lines to improve putting. On Point goes one step further, adding a line to the marker you place behind the ball to further reduce the chances of lining up inaccurately. And if one line is helpful, how about three? On Point claims Triple Track alignment has been proven to improve putting by 12 percent. ($19.95. onpointgolf.us)

Claw Pro Golf Glove
The original Claw golf glove won lots of raves for its durability and for the mesh fabric construction that meant maximum breathability and air-cooled comfort. Now the Claw Pro golf glove combines those features with improvements aimed at lower handicap golfers including added stability on the top hand and grip on the index finger and thumb. The Pro enhances club control, especially for those with higher swing speeds or who like a tighter fit. All that, and still with great comfort.
