Putter grips made out of cork? That's the inspiration behind Salty Grips, a line of putter grips made from sustainable Portuguese cork that was the inspiration of two golfers who loved the feel of cork grips on their fly rods so much, they set about crafting putter grips out of cork. How do they work? Kiel Christianson has a review.

If there is an undisputed heavy-weight champion of golf, it is the Titleist Pro V1. Throw in a few other widely popular brands and it's pretty darn hard to break into this market. A newbie golf ball is like a cotton-top tamarind in a gorilla cage. But recently, a plucky little start-up has introduced a seriously good new ball, called simply The Ball. It is the only three-piece cast urethane ball on the market with a tungsten core.

Boccieri Golf, maker of the innovative Heavy Putter, which has built a large and devoted following among pros and amateurs, has introduced a new line of longer-shafted, back-weighted flatsticks, the Extended Length (EL) series. Now, Boccieri Golf isn't the first company to capture this design philosophy in a putter, but given the its pioneering role in back-weighting and uber-heavy putters, the EL series is worthy of serious attention.

Long a staple of golf in the British Isles, the push cart is gaining popularity among American golfers who favor experiencing the game the way it was meant to be played. When the brilliant golf bag engineers at Ogio decided to hop into the push cart ring, you knew they'd be bringing something unique to the fray. The Ogio X4 Synergy push cart is a solid first entry into the push cart market that brings convenience to a whole new level.

Golf isn't easy, at least to play well. But for those who are already good players or are seeking to develop a sound fundamental swing, the Swing Jacket can be very effective. The jacket limits the movement of the arms, allowing the core to be the driving force of the swinging motion. Now there's a lighter version that also has a couple important extras, including extensive video instruction.

Nike Golf's new VR Forged Wedges feature high-frequency X3X grooves with a precision laser crosshatch pattern that is applied to the "high" area between the grooves. According to Nike, this pattern adds three times the surface texture versus conventionally finished faces, creating more spin in all conditions. "This clearly worked for me when I blasted my first shot out of a greenside bunker with the 56-degree and stopped the ball a foot from the hole," Kiel Christianson writes.

Are you skeptical of rangefinders on the golf course? Do you think they slow down play? Well, the Bushnell Neo+ GPS Rangefinder Watch might be able to change your opinion. In fact, on completely unfamiliar golf courses, the Neo+ is awfully handy and will speed up play, Kiel Christianson writes.

The newest generation of STX putters, the Pitch Black series, represents a continuation of the quality and almost artistic styling that has kept STX Golf competitive over all these years. The STX Pitch Black II ($150) is a sleek Anser-style putter, heel-shafted and face-balanced. The neon-green insert and paint job create a simultaneously soft feel but somewhat aggressive look.

Ogio has introduced an alternative to the golf staff bag. The Ogio Chamber Cart Bag not only incorporates all the convenience of 10 pockets (with distinct functionalities) and plush padded strap, but also introduces Silencer Technology, a revolution in club protection. But does the bag pass the test? Kiel Christianson has a review.

At the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show, MxV Golf introduced a most conspicuous new putter design -- its MxV1 Putter looks like no other putter on the market. No one can argue that the design of the MxV1 is not radical, or that the theory behind it is not sound, but does it pass the test on the golf course? Kiel Christianson has a review.

The commercials for Nike Golf's VR_S Covert Driver are some of the best recent equipment spots on TV, with players teeing off and yelling, "Sorry!" to the groups ahead that they've just purportedly hit into. Based on my testing, I'd say the portrayal of the Covert as prodigiously long is perhaps only a slight exaggeration. This driver is definitely in the top echelon of recent "long" drivers.

All in all, the Clicgear Model 3.5+ is an excellent pushcart. This new version boasts a number of improvements over the previous model, including an upgraded brake system (which could break on the previous model). And the range of add-ons beyond the cooler bag and shoe brush (GPS holder $15, umbrella angle adjuster $30, valuables/rangefinder bag $20) is impressive.
