By: Kieran Clark | Thu 31 Oct 2024

We reckon that everyone deserves a treat every so often - and that retail therapy often has to come from yourself. Now that the height of the golf season is a distant memory, are there any equipment upgrades that you find yourself requiring? Perhaps you have spent months longingly looking at new clubs that a friend has bought and you wouldn't mind getting a taste of that for yourself.

Reflecting on the past year of new equipment and some of the standouts that have been tested and reviewed by our Equipment Expert, Ryan Rastall, we have picked out a series of drivers, woods, irons, wedges and putters that might just give you a well-earned treat.

Much like their sibling drivers, the latest Callaway fairway woods have options that will suit every golfer, which is something that Ryan explored in his comprehensive review that was put together earlier in the year.

Callaway Wedges

Titleist Vokey SM10 Wedges

Titleist Wedges

Are Titleist's Vokey Wedges the gold standard in golf? They arguably could be, and the SM10 builds on that reputation with an exciting offering for golfers who desire that ultimate feel around the greens. Ryan was impressed when he reviewed them for us, and fans of the brand should relish them too.

Cleveland Wedges

Renowned for their wedges, Cleveland's new RTX6 ZipCore Tour Rack is another gem to join the collection as Ryan was a fan when he tested them for us earlier in the season. If you want to find that edge close to the greens, these could be the answer.

Odyssey Ai-One Putters

Odyssey Putters

It doesn't get much better - with regards to innovation and performance - than an Odyssey putter. They stand alongside the finest on the market and they get better all the time. Ryan tested both the Ai-One Jailbird Mini and Ai-One Jailbird Cruiser. The latter was in the bag of Wyndham Clark when he shot a historic round of 60 at Pebble Beach in February.
