‘Tis the season for all the new-for-2024 equipment releases — dream time for golf gearheads!
The game’s biggest manufacturers — from Ping, PXG and Callaway to TaylorMade, Cobra and Cleveland — all have new gear on the horizon, and if you can’t wait to get your hands on new clubs, now’s the time to pre-order so you can be among the first to put the industry’s latest technology in play. Check out what’s available from Fairway Jockey below.
If you’re looking for a mix of premium performance and forgiveness, you’ll love the Ping G430 Max 10K. Read GOLF equipment writer Ryan Barath’s writeup on the club’s highlights here.
PING G430 Max 10K Custom Driver
The G430 MAX 10K is PING’s straightest and highest MOI driver to date, eclipsing the 10,000 g-cm2 combined moment of inertia threshold first surpassed by the G400 MAX five years earlier.
FIXED BACK WEIGHT
The fixed back weight allows for the record-setting MOI as it drives mass down and back to increase forgiveness and optimize the center of gravity position.
LARGER HEAD PROFILE
PING’s biggest head profile to date maximizes the USGA-allowable heel-toe and front-back dimensions while staying within the 460cc volume limit. This eye-pleasing shape helps square the golfer to the target and inspires the confidence to hit longer, straighter tee shots.
PXG fans will certainly be excited to get their hands on the brand’s 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 Custom driver. In Barath’s review, he described PXG’s design overhaul as producing “Longer and faster driver designs with limit-pushing forgiveness and improved feel.”
PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 Custom Driver
The PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 is a tour-inspired head design featuring a taller face with a more curved crown to unlock maximum distance with a penetrating ball flight.
AMF Face Technology
Propriety high strength, and more flexible, Titanium Alloy face material supports increased face deflection during impact for big distance gains.
Variable Face Thickness
This proprietary design helps to optimize the driver’s performance by ensuring consistent and efficient energy transfer across various impact points on the clubface.
High Strength Composite Construction
Lightweight crown and sole inserts, made from high-grade carbon fiber using advanced compression molding, enable optimal weight distribution in the clubhead. This enhances the moment of inertia (MOI), shifts the center of gravity (CG) lower and farther back, resulting in improved distance and forgiveness.
Non-Uniform Bulge and Roll Face
Strategically adjusting the horizontal and vertical curvatures across the face offers enhanced forgiveness and improves the club’s reaction to off-center hits.
Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke family of products is sure to be a hot-seller this year — and for good reason. “With Artificial Intelligence at the wheel, Callaway’s face technology is going to a level of personalization not seen before,” wrote GOLF’s Jonathan Wall in his review.
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Custom Driver
Ai SMOKE TD DRIVER
The new Paradym Ai Smoke driver represents a quantum leap forward in Callaway’s Ai journey. This new family of drivers feature the most sophisticated driver face in Callaway history, the Ai Smart Face.
World’s First Ai Smart Face™
The all-new Ai Smart Face optimizes driver performance using swing dynamics from thousands of real golfers. This promotes optimal launch conditions and tight downrange dispersion.
Workable Shape for Better Players
Shaped with a neutral-to-fade biased face progression and a compact overall head size, Triple Diamond model will suit better players looking for workability off the tee. For players looking to increase ball speed and lower spin, a 14g weight can easily be repositioned from the rear to the front.
TaylorMade’s Qi10 driver line comes in three distinct models to help golfers find the right fit. You can read all about the new technology in Barath’s write-up here.
TaylorMade Qi10 Max Designer Series Custom Driver
Introducing the Qi10 Designer Series, where the inertia-powered forgiveness of Qi10 meets new aesthetics refined by TaylorMade’s most creative designers.
VISUAL INSPIRATION
The Designer Series is a visual feast, capturing inspiration from the automotive world, pop culture and our design team’s individual creativity. Each color palate brings a unique touch of style and makes a statement on the course. Colorways for Qi10 Designer Series include Black Out and Ruby Red.
COMPLETE PERFORMANCE
Wrapped in a clean and confident package, Qi10 driver has been strategically engineered to help players optimize distance and enhance forgiveness. It features lower CG projection and higher MOI than its predecessor, delivering balanced performance without any tradeoffs.
The most compelling attribute of Cobra’s new DarkSpeed line? It’s all in the name (Hint: speed!) From Barath’s review: “All three of the new DarkSpeed drivers (X, LS and MAX) feature more aerodynamic shaping, a re-engineered PWR-Bridge structure behind the face (to help transfer energy and position mass) as well as a 13-percent larger PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face insert, which has been re-engineered with the help of A.I.”
Cobra DarkSpeed X Custom Driver
The X model is designed for Tour and amateurs seeking a fast, low spin headthat offers medium launch and plenty of forgiveness.
REFINED AERODYNAMIC DESIGN
An improved aero shape features a streamlined face to topline radius, a highercrown peak, raised skirt and reduced clubface surface area to maximize speed.
TOUR INSPIRED SHAPING
A refined clubhead shape features an elevated look at address that promotesworkability and control wtih added forgiveness.
With the Cleveland Launcher XL2, you can choose the model that’s best for your tendencies. From Barath’s review: “Beyond being packed with technology to help make them long and forgiving, the new Cleveland Launcher XL2 comes in two different options to help you find the one that best fits your game off the tee: a standard model for golfers looking to fully dial in ball flight, and a draw-biased model built for more moderate speed players to — as you can probably guess — help reduce a fade.”
Cleveland Launcher XL2 Custom Driver
It’s BIG and built for one thing: sending bombs down the middle. The all-new Launcher XL 2 Driver delivers more distance, forgiveness, and consistency than ever, thanks to new MainFrame technology, an improved XL design, and more. Step up and swing BIG. With Launcher XL 2, bigger just got better.
MAINFRAME XL FACE
MainFrame XL Face Technology uses a variable thickness pattern that maximizes flex at impact to boost distance. It also repositions weight low and deep in the clubhead for added forgiveness and consistency.
XL HEAD DESIGN
With an improved XL Head Design packing even more MOI than last generation, plus a low-and-deep weighting profile, players can enjoy long, high-launching ball flight with plenty of forgiveness.
REBOUND FRAME
Instead of giving it one flex zone, we’ve got two. With alternating flex zones acting in-sync, Rebound Frame directs more energy into the ball for speed and distance on every shot.
ACTION MASS CB
An 8-gram weight tucked into the end of the shaft counterbalances the club for more control without extra effort. This counterweight helps the club feel lighter on takeaway and stay stable through impact.
ADJUSTABLE HOSEL
With an adjustable hosel, you can fine-tune your launch angle, distance, and shot shape. Adjust your loft, face angle, and lie angle with 12 different positions. The wrench is sold separately.
