Bonus Winners:
 Stay Grounded Award: Adidas PowerBand
A shoe that adds power to your swing? Yes, it’s possible. The PowerBand
series from adidas displaces weight away from the weaker regions of the
foot, helping to better leverage the golf swing against the ground. The
result? More power. Hey, they’re comfortable, too. www.adidasgolf.com

 Scoring Award: Macro Grip
Designing a grip to help golfers make putts is always a good idea. In the case of the Macro Grip,
it was a really good idea. By using a unique flat, paddle shape, the
Macro Grip eliminates unwanted wrist cock and wiggle—a common cause for
the yips. www.macrogolf.com
 Hip to be Square Award: Callaway FT-i Driver
Not many players on Tour have switched to square-headed drivers, but with Ernie Els putting the FT-i in
play, it’s only a matter of time. Designed with a cube shape that
maximized the clubs inherent MOI, the FT-i has proven itself to be a
long and straight bomber. www.callawaygolf.com

 Game Improvement Award: Ping iWedge
Not to be confused with Apple’s iPods, the iWedge
from PING was a hit this year thanks to its homage to the original PING
Eye 2 wedge. The concave sole makes it versatile and the multi-level
cavity lowers the CG while retaining a solid, crisp feel. With six
lofts available and PING’s custom fitting available, there’s an iWedge
for everyone. www.pinggolf.com
