This equipment update includes a new hybrid from Alpha Golf, the V5 Hi-COR. There's also a urethane golf ball designed to sell for a little less than many other urethane balls. That one's from Volvik. Sun Mountain has some new outerwear ready, and then there's a sunscreen specifically formulated for bald guys. Called, surprisingly enough, Bald Guyz. Not that I, um, have any reason to ... ahem ... be particularly interested in such a product ...
• Alpha V5 Hi-COR Hybrid: Alpha Golf's V5 Hi-COR Hybrid is geared to produce maximum ball speed with a high launch. Using what Alpha calls "Ti-Cross Distance Advancement (TCDA) technology," The V5 Hi-COR Hybrid employs a driver-shaped clubface married to a fairway wood-shaped body. The result, Alpha says, is an extra-large sweet spot with additional forgiveness. Alpha Web site

• Bald Guyz Sunscreen: As you might guess from the name, this sunscreen product is aimed at bald or balding men. About 80-percent of skin cancer occurrences are found on the scalp or neck, according to David Goldberg, M.D., Vice President of the Skin Cancer Foundation. Bald Guyz Sunscreen SPF 30+ is designed not to "sweat off" and is infused with antioxidants and moisturizers to help protect the head, and, the company says, is specifically formulated for the bald man's scalp.
