The GM2 Exchange #2 Belly has a weight range that adjusts from 370 grams to 420 grams. Each model comes standard in 33-, 34- and 35-inch with models #2 and #5 also available in a left-handed version. The MSRP is $299 each. For more info visit www.exchangeputters.com or www.nevercompromise.com.

Srixon Soft Feel-2 Piece Ball
The new version of the Soft Feel-2 Piece golf ball is what Srixon calls its longest and softest distance ball yet. This version utilizes Srixon's Rabalon elastomer cover material and a newly developed 328-count dimple pattern, which, with shallow dimples and greater surface area, helps produce a higher trajectory by generating a greater aerodynamic lift. The new Soft Feel-2 Piece carries an MSRP of $25 per dozen. Srixon Web site
