 Now Playing: Sight LinesAdaptability is all the rage in golf these days, which is something Bruce Sizemore, Jr., Chief Designer and Cofounder of the Sizemore Collection, understands. His XM putters ($349) feature interchangeable alignment aids (both parallel and perpendicular optical alignments) so golfers can choose an aid that fits their eye. Sizemore’s putters also feature an IND-X cross-milled face finish that claims to be the flattest and most accurate on the market. (The cross-milling process results in a pattern that goes in 27 different directions.) The XM-1 is heel-shafted with built-in copper sight lines, while the XM-2 (shown) is center-shafted and triangular-shaped and features copper rail sight lines. Both are mallets. www.sizemoregolf.com Green Reading Noted author and sports enthusiast George Plimpton once famously said (in reference to sports writing): “The smaller the ball, the better the prose.” We assume he didn’t mean ping-pong or marbles, but rather that golf had the sports world’s best scribes—not just because we think we deserve Pulitzers (although if you’re a voter, feel free to contact us), but because there’s so much great material to write about. From biographical to anecdotal, pictorial to instructional, the subject matter of golf books is as varied as the sport itself. Of course, as this is a magazine geared toward the enthusiast, we’re partial to books that help chip away at our handicap or provide some enlightenment that will improve our game. Check out some of the following offerings new to the bookstore and the Internet. They’re all geared toward people who want to get better every time they tee it up.
