Odyssey's new Versa putter may look like a zebra, but the technology is designed to help players better line up their putts. Charles Howell III is using a blade version of this club at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Ryo Ishikawa will be using the #9 half-mallet shown here to start the season.
Scotty Cameron's new CT Knucklehead GoLo putter
This Cameron GoLo features the "Knuckle Head" neck design. In layman's terms that's a plumber's-neck style that allows the length of the shaft below the "knuckle" to be customized to control toe flow.

Another Cameron, the GoLo M3 CT, is a prototype that features Cameron's Tour Silver Mist finish and a deep-mill face.

TaylorMade R1 driver
Although the crown graphics on TaylorMade's R1 driver are sure to grab most of the attention, its deep face (shown here) is designed to appeal to better players. Dustin Johnson won the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in his first event using the club.
TaylorMade R1 Adjustable soleplate
The adjustable soleplate on the TaylorMade R1 looks a bit like a compass. That's fitting because, used properly, it can help you find your way off the tee. The soleplate is designed to help alter face angle to a player's desired position.

Callaway's Razr Fit Xtreme driver
Tour pros are an exact bunch and like to know their specs down to the decimal. Although the loft of the bottom of this Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme driver says 9.5, notice the 9.4 marked with a Sharpie. That's the actual measured loft of the club. The 13-gram weight in the heel area says the owner is likely seeking a slight draw bias (as more weight in the heel produces a draw bias).
Cobra's new AMP Cell irons
Cobra's new AMP Cell Pro irons have a compact clubhead aimed at low-handicappers and professionals. Although clubmaking has risen to a state-of-the-art science, notice a little old-fashioned lead tape on the back of the 7-iron has been used here to dial in the swingweight to the player's liking.
TaylorMade's Tour only White Smoke Big Fontana putter
The "White Smoke" Fontana putter from TaylorMade utilizes some of the alignment and visual technologies first seen in the company's early Ghost models.
