In for review is some very nice new women’s golf apparel from KINONA. KINONA is a new line for women, designed to be a little more feminine as well as offering performance and UPF 50+ sun protection.

This is a fun project for me. I get to have the lovely bride test out the gear and express her findings while I act as the copywriter and photographer.

First Look: Tour Edge Exotics CBX Hybrid

In for review from Tour Edge Golf, is the new CBX series hybrid golf club.

I’ve been gaming an Exotics CB Pro U Limited Edition Hybrid since 2016. When I was discussing the two hybrids with my connection at Tour Edge, the consensus on their end is that the CB Pro U is a fantastic club, but the CBX tops it.

Sign me up.

Features

The CBX features a lightweight titanium face which is very thin. The face varies in thickness to increase forgiveness on off-center shots. The sole is a carbon composite for perfecting weight distribution. The “speed ramp sole” helps with turf interaction.

I will begin testing in the next couple of days and expect to read my full review within a few weeks. Until then, enjoy some images of the CBX in the Hooked on Golf Blog Tour Edge Exotics CBX image gallery.

Anyone who has read my blog over the last 14 years knows I’m very particular about socks. I’m trying some new sock scripting, courtesy of Swiftwick.

Swiftwick’s socks provide moisture wicking as well as compression. Compression helps promote circulation and reduce muscle fatigue.

Today I’m starting with the Pursuit Two model, made from natural merino wool:

I’ll be thoroughly testing out these four different socks and posting my findings soon. Stay tuned.

Tiger vs Phil in Vegas Thanksgiving Weekend – Tiger to Play Match Left-Handed

The big match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson is now set. The stage is Shadow Creek Golf Club in Las Vegas. The winner will take home $9 million. I thought it was going to be $10 million, but oh well.

Who is my pick to win this match? I’m going to go with Phil Mickelson. Based on the promotional photo for the event, Tiger Woods is apparently going to be playing left handed clubs. Check out the lefty driver:

Despite having “face twist” technology, Tiger’s driving has been quite bad this season. Perhaps he’s switching to left-handed to improve his driving accuracy.

The event will be on pay per view. Tiger vs Phil TV information is here.

Golf Stock Photo Fail – New York Post Edition

Good news and bad news in the golf equipment industry. The good news is that golf equipment sales are up eight percent! Woot!

The bad news is that golfers can only use eight clubs which were manufactured in about 2005, all graphite shafted. To make things even worse, there are no putters or head covers allowed.

Thanks New York Post.
