Callaway's flagship four-piece tour ball delivers Tour-level distance off the driver with a soft urethane cover that grips the green on partial wedges. The 2026 dual-core update gets the ball up faster and lands it softer than the 2024 model.
The 2025 Supersoft is the easiest-to-compress ball in Callaway's lineup, ideal for mid-to-high handicaps who lose distance on cold mornings. Straighter off the tee than any premium ball, and you can play three rounds on one box.
The most-used wood tee on the PGA Tour for a reason — paint-marker depth line, hard maple stem that resists snapping off the driver, and a price that lets you lose a handful per round without flinching. 2-3/4" is the sweet spot for modern drivers.
Waffle-pattern microfiber pulls dirt out of grooves better than a plain terry cloth, and the heavy-duty carabiner clip actually stays clipped to your bag through 18 holes of bouncing. 16"x16" is the right size — large enough to wipe a clubface, small enough not to drape.
Full premium Cabretta leather with perforated knuckles for breathability — the gold standard for grip in humid Southeast summers. The Dawn Patrol wears slower than synthetic gloves and breaks in to the shape of your hand within three rounds.
A genuinely lightweight carry bag — under five pounds — with a stable kickstand that actually holds up on a slope. Five pockets including an insulated drink sleeve, and 14-way top organizer so your clubs don't tangle when you sling it back on your shoulder.
