But first, check our Showstoppers – five products that caught our eye on Day One on the Convention Center floor in Orlando.
Titleist T-Series Oil Can Finish Irons

Titleist T-Series irons have gotten the oil can finish treatment!

The good news? The highly popular finish is coming to each model in the lineup: the T100, T150, T250, and T350 irons. The bad news? It’s to be a limited release.
Avoda W3 Wedges

Avoda debuted its all-new W3 wedges on Wednesday at the Convention Center, with an eye-catching sleek and minimal profile typical to the brand.

With forward shaft lean, the offering is a high-bounce, high-leading-edge-height design priced at $192 with shipping expected to begin in March later this year.
ShotScope LM1 Portable Launch Monitor

Among the new additions for 2026 from ShotScope was the intriguing LM1 portable launch monitor.
Measuring clubhead & ball speed, smash factor, carry & total distance, session history and including indoor and outdoor capability, the heavily equipped monitor is in a price range that was sure to grab attention, priced at $199.99.

Caldero Training Aid

An iconic line from an iconic man.
One of the most eye-catching items on Demo Day without a doubt came from Japanese-based company Caldero, which is known principally for its grips.

The giant multi-colored grip as seen and tested on Tuesday, was once again on view at the Convention Center where we were able to gather a few more details. It is in fact a training aid, with the goal to remove the hands and wrists from the swing allowing the body to transition smoothly through the swing.
And if you thought the aid was just for the driver, you’d be mistaken.

Bettinardi BB Putter Series

Bettinardi’s new BB Putter Series was in town on Wednesday with the flatsticks showing off the all-new VDF face milling.
VDF, which stands for Variable Depth Flymill, is an eye-catching new innovation from Bettinardi, which is designed to maintain energy transfer more evenly across the face in order to reduce the speed drop-off common on mis-hits and therefore produce a more consistent roll profile and tighter dispersion in distance.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
