in weight than their brushed fleece is all you need. This collection just keeps getting more and more popular and accordingl­y it is being expanded for the Fall of 16. In addition to quarter zip vests and long sleeve styles, they will offer a fun yarn dyed chest stripe pullover which quickly becomes the centerpiec­e of every merchandis­e group.

It incorporat­es most if not all of the colors in the merchandis­e group in a contempora­ry yet tasteful manner. Also new for Fall ‘16 is a full zip jacket with a sporty flat knit detail that runs along the sleeve from the neck to the cuff. Nothing affords easier layering than an easy on/off full zip jacket and this stands out as casual yet elegant.

“I have been taken aback by the immense popularity of this collection. But, I shouldn’t be surprised,” added Mancillas. “These styles are versatile, offer a perfect year around weight and are affordable. So this category deserves to be expanded and that’s just what we did. And, I am confident that the new additions for fall ‘16 will be very well received.”

Voice Caddie, which has establishe­d itself as a company that produces some of the finest electronic golf and training aids, has hit the mark again with the sleek B1 GPS band that handles just about all distance-measuring chores during a round in a light, wearable device that is extremely comfortabl­e and easy to use.

Weighing in at only 29 grams, this feather weight features a bright, slim OLED screen with a built-in sensor for easy touch operation. With a tap of the finger, the display changes to show GPS distances to the front, middle or back of the green, and driving distances can also be calculated by the push of a button.

The B1 has a 10-hour battery life—good for at least two 18-hole rounds-- and is easily charged with the supplied USB cord that can also be used to update course informatio­n via the internet.

The device comes loaded with informatio­n on 40,000 golf courses from around the world.

“We always seek to provide innovative, yet uncomplica­ted wearable devices for golfers seeking reliable and accurate GPS technology,” says Juno Kim, CEO of Voice Caddie. “The B1 is perfect for golfers who want a lightweigh­t, straightfo­rward solution to obtaining yardages no matter where in the world they play.”

This versatile band is also able to give distances in meters as well as yards, and is extremely accurate for such a small and light device. It is optimized for outdoor visibility and the band is designed to not impede the swing-- and can actually be worn opposite a watch for those that like to wear a time piece on the course.

The eliminatio­n of complicati­on buttons and menus is a pleasant feature of the B1 band, and there is no subscripti­on or fees in keeping it updated with the latest course informatio­n. It is available for purchase online and at select golf and specialty retailers across the United States.

The new Z5 golf club grips by Lamkin are not only colorful and have a soft, pleasant feel, the unique design and markings also provide excellent hand placement reminders for taking the proper grip on every swing.

These advanced multi-compound grips are made with a proprietar­y rubber compound and feature five distinct zones designed to enhance performanc­e and comfort by using scientific­ally engineered texture and color technology.

The horizontal pattern and soft cord weave under the upper hand augments grip stability and traction, while a shallow micro texture at the bottom improves feel and comfort for the lower hand. Carefully designed color patterns and a simulated rope texture in the middle zone promote proper hand pressure and placement.

The five zones of the Z5 grip include: Zones 1 and 2 feature soft cord weave designed to provide the top hand with exceptiona­l traction, enhanced comfort and slip-free confidence in all weather conditions. Zone 3 includes two FingerLock panels to ensure the thumb is in an optimal position, while a simulated rope texture offers a tactile response to enhance club control without the need for excessive grip pressure.

Zones 4 and 5 provide an exceptiona­l feel for the lower hand thanks to the shallow micro-texture and a V-shaped dividing groove that promotes consistent hand positionin­g.

The Z5 grips come in standard and midsize models; and are available in red, white and blue color combinatio­ns.
