• Hireko Golf's Acer Cb7 and Cb8 putters are wicked both in style and performance

  Every now and then, a guy's got to feel like a guy. Hireko Golf has recently introduced some putters that have not only broken a few molds - they look like they could be used to break a few skulls. The Acer Cb7 and Cb8 seem to be fashioned from patterns found in tattoos or on the gas tanks of custom choppers.

• Sun Mountain Micro Cart: Good things 'do' come in small packages

• Acer XDS Cabriolet by Hireko Golf: Affordable, integrated game-improvement irons

  Hireko Golf's odd-looking Acer XDS Cabriolets performed admirably on the course. Their most impressive attribute was the negligible loss of distance produced by off-center contact. I tend to strike the ball somewhat toward the toe of the clubface, but doing so with the Cabriolets appeared to have no affect on my distance. The same went for shots hit somewhat thin; they came in low and hot, but they still got to the green.

• Krank Golf drivers are all the Rage among long-drive competitors

  The Rage isn't made by the biggest company in golf, but it produces some mighty big drives. I have never hit another driver that sounds, feels, looks, and performs as solidly all in one package (and at a relatively moderate price). If you put this beast into your bag, you'd better be ready to hunt with the big dogs, because you won't have any excuses.

• Nike STORM-FIT Elite rain gear and Zoom Bandon golf shoes: Dry, warm and stylish

  Nike STORM-FIT Elite rain gear is a veritable dry suit for golfers. Heck, you could probably wear this get-up surfing and stay pretty warm and dry. All in all, Nike's ultimate all-weather gear is the top of its class in style, comfort, design, performance and - on the down side - price. But in this case, you get even more than what you pay for.

• Pinnacle diversifies and upgrades golf ball line

  Pinnacle's revamping of its entire ball line is good news for golfers seeking that Titleist technology in a cheaper package. "My grandfather probably wouldn't even recognize the Pinnacles of today, given the vastly improved quality and variety compared to what was available in his day," Kiel Christianson writes.

• Miura Golf's Precious Edition is a tour-quality utility club

  Long known for his hand-crafted, precision-forged blades and wedges, Katsuhiro Miura has recently brought to market his first utility club, the Miura Precious Edition. The Miura Precious is undeniably a top-of-the-line utility club, and the rather salty MSRP reflects that quality. But in this case, you get what you pay for.

• Yes! Golf's Madison mallet putter: Ugly duckling is a swan on the greens

  Prior to testing Yes! Golf's new Madison putter, I thought I had found a putter that would last me for many years. Yet on the very first stroke with the Madison, I ran in a 13-foot par putt, and began to wonder. The Madison is extremely stable and solid at impact, and no matter how many different kinds of greens I putt on, distance never seems to be an issue. I just "feel" how long the stroke should be.

• TaylorMade's new line of golf bags, FAST-TEK is a snap to use

  If you're like me, you're often trying to figure out at the end of a golf round where you put things like your keys, cell phone, wallet and GPS unit. So I'm all for anything that provides sort of a system for that, which is exactly what TaylorMade Golf's new line of FAST-TEK golf bags does. There are actually six different cases you can get with the bag of your choice.

• Sandbaggers (the shoes) are welcome on the golf course, and on your feet

  Happily for women golfers searching for more comfort and style in their golf shoes, the rather ironically named Sandbaggers offer remarkable amounts of both. I enlisted the discerning eye and delicate feet of my 11-year-old daughter, who is also a golfer. She was quick to point out that "I can wear the Rileys everywhere, so it's not like you're spending all that money on 'golf shoes.'"

• Scotty Cameron Studio Select Kombi putter appeals to refined palates

  Scotty Cameron's new Studio Select Kombi has a gorgeous profile and beautiful, even artistic lines. And the feel of the ball off the putter face is smooth as silk. However, it does not quite live up to its high expectations (or high price), Kiel Christianson writes.

  For golfers looking to upgrade older equipment - and older technology - Hireko Golf offers very solid equipment for surprisingly affordable prices. For example, the new Dynacraft Avatar XMOI 460cc driver costs less than $100, fully assembled.
