The Mizuno T-20 wedges take grooves in a whole new direction in an effort to get a little extra grab and consistency from the rough.

The Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor takes a new direction in the pursuit of bringing launch data to a handheld form.

The Tour Edge Hot Launch 4 (HL4) irons may come in multiple forms and configurations, but all fulfill the same fundamental requirement, said company founder and chief designer Dave Glod.
