2025 Gear Preview: What’s Worth Trying This Season

The 2025 equipment cycle is full of upgrades—smarter faces, better materials, and more adjustability across the board. But that doesn’t mean every club is right for every player.

Here are five new releases worth checking out—especially if you're thinking about an upgrade this season.

TaylorMade Qi35 Driver

TaylorMade’s latest driver lineup offers three models—Qi35, Qi35 Max, and Qi35 LS—each built to deliver better forgiveness and stability across the face. The Max version is especially helpful for mid to high handicaps who want high launch with off-center hit protection.

Why it’s worth trying:
The Qi35’s weighting system gives you flexibility to match your launch window and shot shape—plus a confidence boost off the tee.

Callaway Elyte Driver

Callaway’s new Elyte driver is built on AI-powered face technology designed to fine-tune spin, speed, and launch. It’s paired with a lighter, stiffer carbon chassis to help generate ball speed without losing control.

Why it’s worth trying:
If you’re looking for faster ball speed and consistent performance—even on mishits—this could be a top contender.

Cobra DS-Adapt X Driver

Cobra’s new driver combines a super adjustable hosel and head weighting with built-in forgiveness, making it easier to find the right setup for your swing.

Why it’s worth trying:
It’s one of the most versatile drivers out this year. Whether you want to tweak your ball flight or tighten dispersion, it’s built to adapt.

PING G440 Driver

The latest in PING’s reliable G series adds small refinements—better sound, feel, and slightly more speed—while keeping the stability and forgiveness PING is known for.

Why it’s worth trying:
This one’s for golfers who want a consistent performer with zero surprises. If you’ve liked PING in the past, the G440 is a worthy update.

Vokey SM10 Wedges

Titleist continues to refine one of the most trusted wedges in golf. The SM10 adds grind updates, improved flight control, and more consistent spin around the greens.

Why it’s worth trying:
A better short game starts with wedges that fit your setup and strike pattern. With the right grind, the SM10s can help you save strokes.

Key takeaway

There’s a lot to like in this year’s lineup—but the best club for you is the one that fits your swing. Book a custom fitting if you want to test any of these models and see what really performs. You can also schedule a gear check to make sure your bag is ready for the season.
