PGA Merchandise Show Demo Day 2016 had some of the best products and certainly the best weather in the last few years. We got to meet up with a lot of good friends like Chad Embry of Fujikura Golf Shafts and Joel Iacovelli from Golf Etc. Cary, North Carolina. The PGA Merchandise Show Demo Day is at the Orange County National range which is a 360 degree range with a 350 yard diameter. Needless to say, it took us over 4 hours to go completely around the Demo Day, stopping at everything from the chipping area, putting area, range and everything else in between. The biggest areas were probably TaylorMade and Titleist. The most raucous place is always Cobra/Puma with the Red Bull truck and music! Bubba Watson gave a cool presentation at the PING area. He hit literally every shot the audience asked on demand. So what was the hot new product? Pretty hard to put a finger on them as there were new shafts from OBAN, new irons from XXIO, drivers from PING, Callaway and TaylorMade. Liked the look of the new SM6 Vokey wedges as well. Of course we will have all of the new stuff in our shop for testing so make your appointment today!
