New year, new gear! The biggest names in golf have all released their club lineups for the 2019 season and the latest gear is better than ever! Our Pro Shop is always open, so now is the perfect time to come and test out the newest gear from golf’s top brands.

So where to start? Here’s a roundup of the latest and greatest drivers and iron sets and what type of player they are suited for.

Drivers

PING G410

There’s lots of talk about ball speeds and spin this year, as manufacturers eke out every last bit of speed from the face. PING isn’t ignoring that—G410 is fast! But PING continues to work on designing a driver that will keep you from flying your tee shots into the woods or hooking into ponds. With the highest forgiveness in the business, and now with more adjustability, G410 is ideal for the player who wants to consistently find fairways. If you’re a player who struggles to square the face and in turn hits a hook, then G410 SFT should straighten your shot. Read more.

CALLAWAY EPIC FLASH

Anyone who wants longer and straighter—that’s the story behind Epic Flash. Callaway is on a roll, becoming one of the industry’s leaders, and its research and development team are showing how the company keeps reinvesting in its technology. Callaway’s claim of an additional 2 miles per hour of ball speed (and in some instances more) means at least four more yards on the average drive. Read more.

TITLEIST TS2 & TS3

A modern-looking driver with low and deep CG, Titleist’s TS2 will likely find a home with players who are slightly inconsistent with their ball striking. The TS2 is more forgiving, launches higher, and has slightly more spin than the TS3. The TS3 is being billed as offering “speed-tuned distance and dynamic forgiveness.” Unlike the TS2, this driver offers an adjustable centre of gravity through a refined SureFit weighting system, and Titleist utilized a more traditional shape for the head.

TAYLORMADE M5 & M6

The latest and greatest from TaylorMade, with incredible adjustability, M5 is perfect for the player who wants to fine tune their driver and is interested in being fit as closely as possible for their particular swing. Less adjustable than M5, the M6 is aimed at the golfer who needs a very forgiving club, and is willing to sacrifice some degree of customization to get it. Read more.

COBRA KING F9 SPEEDBACK

With its combination of speed, aerodynamics and attention to detail on the face, F9 is basically for any golfer who wants to add speed, distance and accuracy off the tee—which is basically everyone. The company is billing F9 SPEEDBACK™ as “the king of speed,” but truthfully it is the combination of years of engineering that has crafted a complete driver. Read more.

Irons

CALLAWAY APEX 19

The Apex 19 is available in two versions—a Pro 19 version and the standard Apex 19 offering. The Pro 19 is new to Callaway, offering a tour iron with the benefits of the company’s distance technology. Offering a classic look that the best players demand, the Apex 19 has a straighter leading edge, thinner top line and cleaner hosel transition. Callaway used its tour players—including the likes of Sergio Garcia—in developing the irons. That’s not to suggest Apex 19 is for high-handicappers. It is a premium iron for better players who benefit a bit more from the technology in the clubs and feel more confident with a slightly different club profile. Read more.

CALLAWAY BIG BERTHA

The 2019 version of Big Bertha irons is straighter and even longer than previous versions, while still maintaining an optimal ball flight. If you’re a player seeking more distance, but still want to attack the green from an optimal height, Big Bertha might just be a great addition to your arsenal this year. Read more.

PING G410

This is a game improvement iron that will appeal to single digit handicap golfers who were turned off in the past by clunky aesthetics and the offset that comes with irons designed to help you get the ball in the air. Read more.

TAYLORMADE M5 and M6

The M5 is a game improvement iron for players who don’t want to admit they are playing a game improvement iron. This doesn’t look like your father’s game improvement iron; instead it offers a great mix of aesthetics, with all the gains from TaylorMade’s technology. The M6 is an iron for a player who needs help generating speed and getting the ball in the air, but also wants maximum forgiveness when they don’t quite catch the center of the face. Read more.

COBRA KING F9 SPEEDBACK

Cobra added mass using steel to create a lower and deeper center of gravity, which the company says increases ball speed, launch and distance. Longer than other game improvement irons, and 3 miles per hour faster than other competitive irons, Cobra says F9 Speedback puts the irons in a “premium position in the market.” Read more.

MIZUNO JPX 919

There is now a JPX iron for every player. For the low-handicapper there’s the Tour version. A similar player might want a bit more tech from their irons, and they’ll find it in the Forged version, while the Hot Metal offers distance. Read more.

  1. I need large grips on my clubs because of arthritic hands. Would I have to leave my clubs in as I come from Perth. Thank you. Shirley Campbell

  2. I am looking at the Wilson Staff Model Irons but they don’t release until May. Can the free wedge be extended to 2019 iron sets not released for pre-order yet?

  3. Hi, if I have a specific question for a specific store.Should I call that specific store.Please answer generically like all your answers.

  4. With the trade-in bonus, is it limited to just one trade-in item per new club? For example, if I trade-in a driver and 3 wood, would I get the 50% bonus on both if I was only purchasing a new driver?

    1. Hello! Only one club or one iron set can be used per new club. So you could only trade-in your driver or your 3-wood towards a new driver. Doesn’t have to be driver for driver – it can be whichever club has a higher value if you like.

    1. Hi Brad, You will need to bring the club into any store to see what the value would be. We would then take that value, plus 50% bonus towards any new club. For example, if it’s worth $100, your bonus would be $50, for a total of $150 off of a new club. Hope that helps.

  5. Do you take trade ins for an entire set of irons. I have a two season old set of Ping G max irons I would like to trade in and I would like to get an approximate value if possible.

    1. Hi Daniel, Yes, in fact, you can only trade-in iron sets that have a minimum of 6 consecutive clubs. To learn the value, you would have to bring it in to any Golf Town store.

    1. Hi Chris, To know the value, you will need to bring the driver into our store. That amount + the 50% bonus can be used on any clubs, including Titleist wedges. Hope that helps.

      1. In a February 26th response you say “all new clubs are included. No exceptions”. When you refer to “new clubs” does this include previous years models?

  6. I went to my local Golf Town and they told me I cannot apply the trade in bonus towards a new putter! They said putters are excluded. I’m confused now…

      1. I was looking at one of the new odyssey stroke lab putters and was told there is a very specific list of clubs I can apply the bonus trade-in against and that there are no putters on the list. I phoned a second location and was told the same thing – putters not included. I then called a third location and was finally able to get a putter!!!
