New year, new gear

Shoes

FootJoy and Ecco are leading the way in the ladies’ shoe market with a wide variety of styles.

The new Ecco Biom Hybrid 3s (£170) areloaded with clever technology as well as looking the part. They have an all-new grip system which offers support and durability where it’s needed most and a full Gore-Tex lining to ensure they are 100 per cent waterproof.

Look out for England’s Charley Hull wearing new FootJoys this season. The brand have eight models to chose from including the Leisure (£95) and Sport (£110).

Clubs

Most brands have ladies’ options throughout their ranges but look out for the Callaway Rogue W irons and hybrids which are designed to launch the ball more easily for slower, smoother swingers.

The Wilson Staff D300 woods and irons also come with specialist ladies’ options including a high-launching, stylish driver.

And the Cobra F8 range has built-in technology to track your stats.

Balls

Why not add a further splash of colour to your game with these new options from Titleist and Volvik.

The all-new Titleist Velocity (£26), designed to offer more distance off the tee and on all full shots, is now available in pink and orange as well as white and visi-white.

The Volvik Vivid Lite (£39.99), available in orange, pink, yellow and blue, features soft-feel matte technology for improved visibility. It promises to work for a range of swing speeds.
