Dunning Golf Fall 2007 Collection
Luxury golf apparel maker Dunning Golf is ready to introduce its Fall 2007 Collection, highlighted by Tour Stretch Outerwear with what the company calls "c_change" technology.

Dunning calls "c_change" a "bionic climate membrane." What does that mean? It means the membrane - a single-layer, water- and windproof membrame - reacts to the climate and adjusts itself to make the golfer more comfortable:

  • When the weather is cold, or the golfer is not sweating, the membrame condenses to provide better insulation.
  • When the weater is hot, or the golfer is sweating, the "c_change" polymer structure opens up to allow more heat and moisture to escape.

Pretty nifty. Also pretty pricey - Dunning Tour Stretch Outerwear pieces with "c_change" range from $300-$700.

But there are also very affordable pieces in the Fall 2007 collection. Many of Dunning's tops range from $79-$99 and some compression undergarments start at $35.

Accu-Length Pink Series and Hybrids
The original Accu-Length junior clubs were designed to be expandable, growing with your young golfer. The Accu-Length Pink Series is the first set from the company targeted specifically at girls.

The Pink 500 set is for younger players, girls 36.5 to 46.5 inches in height. The Pink 1000 set is for girls 44 to 54 inches in height.

The Pink 1000 Series set includes a wood, a 36-degree 7-iron, a pitching wedge and a heel-toe weighted putter, while the Pink 500 Series comes with the wood, wedge and putter. The Pink 500 Series wood is 24 degrees and the Pink 1000 Series wood is 17 degrees.

Both sets include a dual-strapped carry bag. The bag includes a riser system to make sure the clubs continue to fit into the bag as the clubs are expanded over time.

The MSRP for the Pink 500 Series is $119.99, and for the Pink 1000 Series $149.99.

Accu-Length is also introducing its first-ever hybrid club, named the 4/5 Hybrid because it is designed to replace the 4- and 5-irons. The club is 29-degrees and available in colors that coordinate with Accu-Length's existing sets. The MSRP is $39.99.
