The 2010 PGA Merchandise Show Outdoor Demo Day held at Orange County National Golf Club, featured some of the latest golf equipment from all the major club manufacturers.
MANTYS Motorized Golf Cart For One
I saw a lot of interesting new products, like the Mantys a new dynamic motorized cart for one. The Mantys is not your average golf cart, it’s a motorized four-wheeled cart, where the rider stands rather than sits, and steers by shifting weight from one foot to the other. The Mantys kind of reminded me of the Segway combined with cross country skies, but minus the gyroscopes. I’ll be posting video of the Mantys in action later.
Miyazaki Shafts Outdoor Demo Day
Did you ever want to get an aerial view of the Outdoor Demo Day?
For the first time ever SRI Sports will flew the Miyazaki Golf Shafts M-1 Airship over the massive circular demo range capturing the sights and sounds of the world’s largest professional equipment testing event. Watch the video courtesy of Miyazaki Golf Shafts M-1 Airship.
Some of the new clubs I got to check out were from Bridgestone Golf, with their new J38 460 CC Driver, J38 Forged Cavity Back Irons with Magnesium, and J38 Dual Pocket Cavity Back Forged Irons. Below are some of the basic specs for these clubs to be released in March, and I’ll have more details later this week.

Bridgestone J38 Forged Cavity Back Irons features:
